MEUDON, France (Reuters) -Renault's low-cost brand Dacia on Monday unveiled a prototype electric mini-car that could cost less than 15,000 euros ($17,625), potentially providing a competitive alternative to low-cost Chinese electric vehicles.
The "Hipster Concept", which could go into production if the European Union agrees to create a new small car category, is tiny, only 3 metres (9.84 ft) long and weighing less than 800 kg(1,763.7 lb). The shortest car on the market in Europe today, Leapmotor's T03 city car, is 62 cm longer.
