Peugeot VLV

Two-seater electric car provided zero-emissions transport during the war

Two-seats, an all-electric powertrain and unusual styling - the VLV has a lot in common with Peugeot recent BB1 concept. The only difference is it was on sale over sixty years ago!

Built during the war to provide Parisiens with a way of side-stepping fuel restrictions imposed by the occupying German forces, only 377 examples of the VLV (Voiture Légère de Ville) were built before it was banned.

It was powered by four 12V batteries placed under the hood giving it atop speed of 20 mph and a range of 50 miles per charge.
