The American electric car startup Eli has built an electric city car, called Eli Zero, which is a successful combination of a Renault Twizy and an electric Smart Fortwo.
In urban mobility, the electric car should play a major role in the future, the electric car startup Eli is sure of this and is about to introduce the corresponding product. Presented three years ago at the CES Show in Las Vegas, Eli has now presented complete information about the mini electric car Eli Zero, which is ready for series production. Eli Zero is an ultra-compact two-seater with a purely electric drive.
The small electric car measuring 2,250 mm long, 1,380 mm wide and 1,588 mm high is shorter than the Renault Twizy, as wide and 13 cm taller (Twizy 2,340 mm long, 1,380 mm wide, 1,450 mm high). Compared to Smart, Eli Zero is more compact, being 445 mm shorter, 283 mm narrower but 33 mm higher. The wheelbase of 1.60 meters is 273 mm shorter than the Smart, but Eli Zero still offers enough space.
At first glance, the Eli Zero is very reminiscent of a Renault Twizy, but the Zero can accommodate two passengers side by side. There is also a fixed rear window and solid glass doors. The turning circle of the Eli is 7.01 meters.
