CITROËN's press release and these photos lay claim to zero fuel consumption, zero CO2 emissions and zero noise. This is, of course, not true.
Electricity is a transmission sytem and not a power source. Even in France where approximately 79% of the electricity is generated in nuclear power stations, some of the electricity is generated from traditional, polluting sources. And if one believes in man-made 'climate change', this means that while there are no exhaust emissions from the C Zero, there are still emissions as a result of the electricity generation in the power stations. And of course, nuclear power has its own attendant pollution problems.
As for the zero noise claim, this also is not true. There will be tyre and wind noise. And so-called silent cars represent a hazard for the blind.
This seems to me to be little more than an attempt to placate the green lobby - or to make money from those who feel the need to salve their conscience.
