The Gloucestershire police force now has 75 electric vehicles in use - 66 Nissan Leaf and nine e-NV200. This is Britain's largest electric police fleet which is now operating in Gloucestershire in south-west England. With the new 75 electric cars, 21 per cent of Gloucestershire's entire fleet is electric. The police hope that the cheaper operation of e-vehicles will save them fuel costs and maintenance of £ 136,000 a year - and thus wants to finance the acquisition of additional e-vehicles. The e-share of the fleet is expected to increase to 40 per cent in the next four years.

As expected, the first electric Dacia is based on the Renault K-ZE being a mini SUV with 4 genuine seats and 5 doors. After numerous speculations in the international press, Dacia published the first official images and information on the pre-series concept that anticipates the launch of its first electric model in history.

With only 2.40 meters in length and two seats, the Ami will not need a driving license as it is considered a light quadricycle. The AMI has a lithium-ion battery with 5.5 kWh capacity that gives it a range of 70 km, enough for many customers who make short trips around the city. Plugged into a conventional 230v outlet, it will take only three hours to regain 100% of the load.
