Never knew this existed! Just googled it and looks like it has a reserve gasoline tank in addition to the natural gas tank. Strange animal!

Me neither. There are so many brands I’ve never seen before in Paris. But VW UP! Was a suprise. I also seen few BMW and MB models that I’ve never seen before in the states.

When taxi driver learned I’m from America, he immediately opened his glove compartment to open new box of masks and asked me to open the rear windows in French I don’t understand. I have vaccine 3 shots, but they think USA and China are notorious for Covid-19.

Just French people being French.

Paris is beautiful, but I find the city is quite foul, it reminds me of New Orleans, busy, trashy and smelly streets.

Thank you very much for this WONDERFUL thread. The images of the wide variety of EVs along with the surrounding scenic views makes for most enjoyable and educational reading. Everyday I read one thread after another with complaints about delayed shipping, hardware failures, and software bugs. It is a nice change to see a light-hearted and enjoyable thread. It will be good to get you back in the USA but I will be sad when this thread comes to an end. I also want to thank the moderators who improved the image loading dramatically, making this thread more fun.

French men just pee on the streets, so some fancier places would have scheduled automated street gutter flush. But I’m not sure about this one. Looks like this EV owner’s charging cable is seasoned with Ammonia.

Ignorance is everywhere. Stall #1 & #2 has Peugeot ICE and BMW ICE car parked there without consideration of EV needed charging space.

This charging station has one of best views on original Paris Island - Cité.
