Review Citroen 2CV EV - Drive of the Hilarious 2ECV from The2CVShop

Finally! My review of the electric Citroen 2CV - the 2ECV. I've been waiting to try this for two years! First met Darren from The2CVShop at an NEC show and again last year at the London EV Show. The 2CV is a brilliant little car, light and nimble with a supreme ride, but the engine isn't exactly sacred. So why not swap it out with a battery. This conversion still only weighs about 700kg and has a range of just under 70 miles.
It's been brilliantly converted to electric by The2CVShop in the UK, using a kit supplied by Mehari Club Cassis in France. Watch to see how that 10 kWh battery performs and if the driving experience retains all the quirky joy of the original 2CV. Whether you're a classic car enthusiast or an EV aficionado, this ride is sure to fascinate!

Just looking at the video thumbnail of the 2CV and you laughing brings a huge smile to my face.

[@ibs5080]

I'm watching this now with a huge grin on my face. You're right, this is hilarious!

[@st200ol]

2CEV kind of has a certain ring about it. I like it.

"The Ultimate Driving Machine"!

Were you able to see out of the windscreen ok, given that big camera in front of you?

[@BrownCarGuy]

Yes I film all my car reviews like this.

[@A-Lovely-Bit-of-Kit]

I like the idea of classics converted to electrics, subject to certain qualifiers, but I want a clutch a gearbox! The qualifications? The conversion needs to be reversible, involve no major chassis surgery and not be applied to a rare or historically important vehicle. Oh, and I have to be able to afford it!

[@BrownCarGuy]

You’re right! Pretty much all the conversions I’ve seen so far are reversible, and you can still have the clutch and gearbox.

[@A-Lovely-Bit-of-Kit]

@@BrownCarGuy I've looked at doing a DIY conversion on something but other projects have to take priority unfortunately. It would be a steep learning curve and it would be a good idea not to get it wrong ⚡⚡🤯

[@t2stu]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who messed up the city route.

[@BrownCarGuy]

🤣🤣🤣 I normally just do the hill route, hadn’t done this one before. 😜🤦🏽‍♂️🤣

[@markbowden7238]

68 mile range probably equates to driving at 40 mph for 15 minutes, somehow.

[@zzhughesd]

First immediate thought. Will this kill her character ???? No hate. Honest thought.

[@suznet]

£36k for just 68 mile range, what a joke, get an e-bike with more range & cheaper, stuff the planet 😂😂

[@kitswithkaren5003]

An electric tin snail.😂
