Lhe electricity fairy seems to hold in its hands today, for some time at least, the future of our travels over short or long distances. The Rotary BAB Côte basque has been giving an idea of this reality since Friday with the second edition of its electric mobility fair, which ends this Saturday, April 1.
A dozen car brands are presented there by BAB dealers. Among them, the Automobile des Trois Vallées company presents its electric Aixam models. Cars called, without a license, accessible to young people from 14 years old. On the condition, however, that they have the AM license, the new name of the BSR (road safety certificate).
For some time now, these vehicles have been popping up in school car parks. The Citroën Ami, with its Lego car look, is particularly easy to spot.
“Young people aged 14 to 18 are increasingly attracted to small electric vehicles”
Cars for teens
Aixam, a quarantine brand of license-free vehicles, offers models of the same type. But Franck Duboil, manager of Automobile des Trois Vallées, confirms that young people under 18 are a real clientele. “Young people aged 14 to 18 are increasingly attracted to small electric vehicles. They joined our traditional customers, the elderly, adults with disabilities. »
To acquire an Aixam, you have to consider spending between 10,000 and 17,000 euros. To obtain the AM license, Automobile des Trois Vallées has a dual-control vehicle, which it makes available to a driving school. The range also extends to utility vehicles, in vans or with flatbeds, which have found their place in small-volume local deliveries.
Convenient
The Rotary BAB Côte basque electric mobility fair takes place until Saturday April 1, esplanade Quintaou, in Anglet, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. FREE ENTRANCE.
Bikes too
On the car side, a Ford Mustang caused a sensation in its beautiful orange dress. It is announced at a price of 88,000 euros At the other end of the exhibition space, it is the brand new Peugeot 408, also fully electric, which is having its little effect. The model presented is offered at 52,120 euros.
Some models, including an electric Peugeot 208, are priced around 25,000 euros. For the rest, we are rather around 30,000 to 50,000 euros. Prices that do not appeal to all budgets.
Electric bikes are also present on two stands. That of the Bayonnaise family company Hoff, specializing in all outdoor disciplines, and which presents its range of Voltaway bicycles, which it manufactures. There is also the green madness, Biarritz and Intersport. This time with a price range that oscillates between 1,400 and 4,000 euros.
The electric mobility fair also provides information on photovoltaic panels, for individual homes or businesses, and for co-ownership trustees and social landlords, on the regulations regarding electric vehicle charging stations. .
