Insulation doesn't work unless the enclosure being insulated is pretty close to airtight. And if a car is nearly airtight, all the windows will fog over when it's cold. Then you'll need lots of heat and forced air to defog them.

Moreover, even with dessication (via A/C), outside air is required to keep windows clear, when outside temperatures are cold.

You can always tell when someone on the road is using the re-circulation feature in the winter... their windows are fogged, but they aren't wearing gloves.
Have a Nice Day,

BUMP!

Anyone have one yet ?

I haven't seen one at all and 0 Renault dealers have one here! :(

It's about the same price as a bomber, but 50 Euros a month battery rental. But I would rather the Twizy.

I wonder if the Twizy controller could be hacked ?
Back to pedal only power.
