On the first day, the route started from Bucharest, with a stop in Ploiești and the end in Covasna. The next day, the cars were recharged in Brasov, and the route continued with visits to the Schaeffler and Poiana Brașov factory, reports evmarket.ro.
“The electric cars have performed admirably, and the autonomy has proven more than sufficient to allow a driving style similar to that of the thermal machines, maintaining speeds of 130 km/h and 100 km/h on certain portions,” writes the source mentioned above.
The jury, consisting of 16 journalists and car influences, designated the winner of the competition: Lynk & Co 02, who obtained 97 points. The car is made by the company resulting from the association of the Swedes from Volvo with the Chinese manufacturer Geely and has a starting price of 30,000 euros.
Renault 5 came to 2nd (94 points), and Hyundai Inster completed the podium (85 points).
