Classic Renault EV Conversions Give Vintage Cars New Life

The classic Renault 4, Renault 5 (Le Car in the United States), and Twingo are now available with all-electric powertrains thanks to a partnership between French carmaker Renault and EV specialist R-Fit. Now, owners of these European vintage models can install the EV conversion at one of R-Fit’s garages, giving their cars a new lease on life.

In addition to adding an all-electric powertrain to these vintage cars, the retrofit kit includes several features that improve safety and comfort, such as automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, and heated seats. It also adds modern comforts such as Bluetooth connectivity and USB ports to stay connected while on the road.
