  • L6e ‘Vivo’ – premium comfort-focused option for private or fleet users

Battery Swap Stations Launch in France

Silence and Nissan are opening battery swap stations starting this summer in Paris. Swaps take under 30 seconds. These stations will be located at:

  • Nissan dealerships
  • Fuel stations
  • Urban car parks

Battery as a Service (BaaS) Cuts Costs

Buyers can opt into a Battery Subscription model. This reduces the electric quadricycle’s upfront price by up to €2,000 (~$2,160). Customers purchase the vehicle without batteries and subscribe monthly. The first year is free.

Business Use Cases: Built for Utility

The Cargo variant targets last-mile delivery and urban tradespeople. It has a 414-liter cargo compartment.

Common users include:

  • Urban couriers
  • Mobile technicians
  • On-demand services
  • Fleets in low-emission zones
