Even though production of the urban mobility vehicle will commence only in 2015, 700 people have already pre-booked the Colibri. According to the company, nearly half of the customers are private users, while the other half are business customers such as fleet operators or nursing services. Apparently, the first year production is sold out! The Colibri will feature gull-wing doors and a rear hatch, though inside, seating is available only for a single adult. Measuring 2.75 m in length, 1.18 m in width and 1.3 m in height, the Colibri’s boot has a 180 liter capacity. The 440 kg vehicle is powered by a 32 hp electric motor producing 60 Nm of torque. The Colibri will do 0-100 km/h in 9.9 seconds, hit a top-speed of 120 km/h and can do 110 km on a full charge. Colibri The 6.5 kWh Lithium-Phosphate battery can charge from 0-80% in 20 minutes using a public charging station, or 0-90% in 2 hours using a conventional household circuit. The company estimates the battery to provide 2,000 charge cycles (220,000km). Additionally, the battery will be leased out at 55 EUR/month (INR 4,645). The Colibri will cost 8,900 EUR (INR 7.51 lakhs) when it goes on sale in 2015. It will have to be registered as a quadricycle, though Innovative Mobility says that it will pass the Euro NCAP crash test.

It is notoriously expensive to buy a new car in Europe, though a small electric car company plans to launch a $12,000 city EV sometime in 2015, and if such a car can succeed anywhere, it’s Europe. The Colibri is a German-built electric car with a goal-price of just 8,831 euros, or about $12,000 U.S., as well as a $74 monthly battery rental fee. Equipped with a tiny 6 kWh battery pack, the Colibri is strictly a city commuter, with room for a single person and a few bags of groceries. Weighing in at less than a thousand pounds, the Colibri claims a range of 68 miles per charge, and can scoot from 0 to 60 mph in less than 10 seconds. Despite its size, the designers claim it can comfortably fit people up to 6 feet 3 inches tall. While the top speed is limited to 74 mph, most drivers probably won’t even come close to maxing out this miniscule EV. A full charge takes just two hours from a Level 2 charger, and you can supposedly squeeze two of these tiny cars into a normal parking space. There are no plans to sell the Colibri in the U.S., and a planned 2014 launch date was pushed back to 2015. Though a car seems difficult to find a market for, Europe’s best-selling EV is similarly designed and priced. I am talking about the Renault Twizy, which doesn’t even have a fully-closed cockpit, but has found plenty of urban buyers looking for an alternative to mass transit. If the Colibri makes it to market, it could find a decent following, though America is still many years (and much higher gas prices) from embracing such a small, limited-use vehicle.
