Bolloré Bluecar - Any BlueSG user here? Share your experience here! The Bolloré Bluecar is a small four-seat, three-door electric car supplied by Bolloré, designed by Pininfarina and manufactured by Cecomp in Bairo, Italy, under a joint venture owned by Bolloré and Pininfarina called Vehicule Électriques Pininfarina Bolloré (VEPB). The car has a 30kWh lithium metal polymer (LMP) battery, coupled to a supercapacitor, that provides an electric range of 250 km (160 mi) in urban use, and a maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).[1] Originally shown as the Pininfarina B0 concept car in 2008, the production version was launched in 2011 with the first 250 production version Bluecars deployed as part of the Autolib' carsharing program in Paris on December 5, 2011.[2] In October 2012, the Bluecar first became available to retail customers through leasing,[3] and sales began in February 2013 at a price of €19,000 plus a monthly fee of €80 for the batteries.[4] As of September 2016, a total of 5,689 units had been registered in France, most of which are in service for the Autolib' program.[5][6] The Bolloré Bluecar was the top selling highway-capable electric car in that country in 2012. BlueSG have Car Sharing Plan and Charging rental. I think it is sooner or later we will use them for charging electric car in HDB areas. For car sharing, Let's say I am staying at tampines and I am going to novena. Let's say I take about 15 min to start, park and anything else. The total time for this trip is 33mins. $8/mth $0.33/min x 33 = $10.89 (plus my return trip back home) = $21.78 For charging, Assuming I have a Mini Cooper SE. The total range is about 180km there about. assuming I need to charge every 5 days. And assuming I need to charge 2 hours each time to get a full charge. per charge is only $2! $20/mth $2 for every 5 days (Per month is only $21) Woah. If this calculation is correct, then electric car is very very cheap.
