It’s been over a year now that I’ve been using the e2o Plus for my daily office commute and it has been a game changer! It goes a lot further than my 30km round trip and I just plug it in at night. No more visits to the fuel station, or oil changes. It's also so easy to park in tight spots.

Reliable? Ha! I have had my e2o in the service center more times than I can count. The AC compressor failed twice and the random electronic gremlins are too numerous to mention. And how do you find a mechanic that knows how to fix these things? Good luck!

It's as safe as you drive it. I keep to city limits and drive defensively. In chaotic traffic, the car's agility actually is a help in avoiding accidents. I wouldn't want to be in it during a major collision, though.

It's apples and oranges. In stop and go traffic where petrol cars are at their worst, the e2o is a winner. However, for longer drives and if you like to drive a petrol hatch remains more fun and more versatile.

I have a small car rental business and we added two e2o Plus to our fleet. They do make for perfect short city trips, and the running costs are great. The downside is they have limited range so we can’t use them for longer rentals.
