Butch-e Liddel: the facts

All Butch-e models are homologated for use on European freeways and come standard with airbag, ABS, EBD, EPS, HAC and Brake Priority Systems, among other features.
As standard, you get a 26-month warranty on the entire car and a 5-year warranty on the electric motor, controller and batteries.

You can get in on the left or on the right.
Ideal for last mile delivery and the narrowest streets.
This vehicle reaches a top speed of 81 km/h and has a range of up to 100 km/h.
It is expected to be called Newbie Truck.

There will also be another Solor.

As long as the sun is strong enough, the car recharges while driving, ideal for mile-eaters.
