Partners feedback
Chance to test-drive the vehicle on a long loan, to really test it with local facilities constraints, drivers profiles and daily use
No time and budget spent for fuel: real savings for our office If you want to buy it, the car itself is still expensive Zero noise: can be appreciated … or not! No problem with the range…in fact Type (segment) of vehicle not matching our needs Discovery of EV ‘side effects’: increased safety, attitude change toward ‘eco
driving’ Dashboard not that intuitive, you need to ‘interprete’ the (too many)
information (does not match our needs) Created great interest among our employees and visitors Conveyed positive messages on our own objectives in term of CO2 emission
reduction, pollution control and budget constraints
Intuitive and simple to operate
vehicle
Even on snow the
car behave very well !
Simplify dashboard (not always easy to
use/understand)
Good PC but maybe a van
would be more appropriate for
us
Car size is too big (for our current use)
Better exterior than
interior
Good performance
and acceleration
