There is much debate on electric mobility nowadays, but few interested people have experienced what it’s like to drive silently and sustainable. After the successful demonstration of Formula Zero’s Chauffeurs Event, visitors were, in co-operation with Innosys Delft BV and ECE cars, able to get exposed to electric vehicles through driving Volkswagen Golf and Lotus Elise.
Every participant was impressed by the acceleration of the electric vehicles and to drive almost silently. Many of them are looking forward to driving an electric vehicle in the future, as well as for private as business purposes.
