EU's €15,000 electric car sparks Citroën 2CV comparisons
Original: citroën 2cv
European plans for a €15,000 electric city car are drawing comparisons to the Citroën 2CV, France's iconic budget people's car. Dutch financial daily Het Financieele Dagblad reports the proposal includes granting the cheap EV special privileges, such as parking benefits and access to bus lanes, to boost uptake. Critics see echoes of the 2CV's spirit of affordable motoring for the masses.
Why now: The EU's push for an ultra-cheap electric car with special privileges is being compared to the classic Citroën 2CV, reviving nostalgia and debate about affordable motoring.
