Electric 2CV, rebirth of a classic automobile with modern technology

A small company in Bavaria has realized the revival of
a classic car, better than the original and with
modern electrical engineering.

"Design a car that can accommodate two farmers in boots and a hundredweight of potatoes or a barrel of wine, at least 60 km / h fast and that consumes only three liters of gasoline per 100 km. It should even be able to cope with poor roads and to use it should be so simple that even a novice rider easily can cope with it. It must be very well cushioned, so that a basket of eggs while riding over bumpy dirt roads stays intact. "

These were the guidelines, from which one of the most famous cars in history have emerged which duck, more precisely, the Citroen 2CV. If you look at the modern city traffic, these guidelines are not so irrelevant. The two farmers are now considered by a pair of singles, potato and wine were shopping basket or sports-bag, 60km / h in the city are sufficient and less consumption today is the long program. Inexperienced drivers are still there and the suspension conserves the delicate laptop instead of eggs.

The company Hoffmann located in Hohenfurch / Upper Bavaria is building the former rust-prone part of durable stainless steel and after
the entire body caused is made of plastic, rust and dents lose their fear.
The air-cooled gasoline engine had to give place to a very modern electric power unit of German production and
the power supply is provided by current lithium batteries. The powertrain was developed in cooperation with Pepper Blue GmbH, a German startup,
that even electrified aircrafts successfully. The whole assembly is in Bavaria, most parts are exclusively done by Hoffmann or at least out of European production.

With just a little bit over 700 kg unloaded weight, the performance against the original is very athletic, the electric duck
wins traffic starts amazingly often, thanks to the big torque of the electric motor. The range is between 100 and 200 km and there are different battery types available, depending on needs and budget of the buyer. The model range covers sedan, convertible and pickup, the price depends on the configuration, to be set by the customers themselves. Thanks to modern technology, fast charging of the battery to 80% in about an hour is possible, however, this depends of the power supply to the charging station. A normal load with 220V household current in about seven hours is possible.
