This is the first electric Renault Twizy I say 'in the wild'. Taken at Rue de Rivoli in Paris. It has all the appearance that this is a rental one.

Renault Twizy
The Renault Twizy is an electric city car produced by Renault manufactured entirely in Valladolid, Spain. The Twizy was released for sales in France in March 2012 and in the UK the following month. The car is available with three models, starting at €6,990 up to €8,490. The sales price does not include the batteries, which will be leased for a monthly fee that includes a replacement guarantee.
The Twizy is an ultra-compact vehicle, with a length of 2.32 m, width 1.19 m and a height of 1.46 m.
The vehicles frame and body offer occupants extra protection with its deformable structure, while the outboard position of the four wheels and the lateral beams located either side of the chassis provide protection in case of a side-on impact. The safety retention systems include a driver's airbag, a four-point safety belt at the front and a three-point one at the rear.
The battery can be charged with an extendable spiral cable stored beneath a flap at the front of the vehicle. The integrated charger is compatible with roadside battery charging facilities as well as the standard 220 V 10 A household electrical supply. Charging an empty battery takes around three-and-a-half hours.
