I have a soft spot for Citroen, the eccentric French car manufacturer, so don't take this strip to be a criticism. This looks at a car strictly from a cat's point of view. Cats just look for four things in a car:
1) Can I fit on the bonnet?
2) Is the bonnet warm?
3) Does it show up paw prints really well?
4) Is it so cramped inside that I can't be taken to the vets?
The C1 is great car in its petrol form. The electric version less so. The technology wasn't ready then - I'm still not convinced the technology is ready now. Its time will come, say in twenty years time, once range, recharging and infrastructure problems have been sorted out - though it still does leave the question of how the electricity that runs the cars gets generated in the first place. Go down the energy chain far enough and your green Prius is probably powered by a coal burning power station.
