Finally - an electric car we can all get onboard with. Shame you won't be able to buy one 😔
“I want to electrify Alpine to preserve its name for all eternity,” said Luca de Meo when he arrived in the Renault wheelhouse. Obviously there’s a lot to unpack there - not least the absolute certainty that the Alpine name will not survive for eternity - but the comment was apparently sufficient for the newly emboldened division to break out the rubber-handled spanners, and set to the A110 with the intention of replacing its 1.8-litre engine with an all-electric powertrain.
This was a preoccupation because elsewhere the firm had to find room for 392kg of battery pack. The twelve modules were liberated from a Megane E-Tech, but required bespoke battery casings for squeeze them into the A110’s architecture. To achieve the optimum weight distribution, Alpine went with four at the front and eight at the back. Apparently these are positioned in ‘atypical’ fashion, which suggests the engineers have had to squeeze them to just about every available nook and cranny.
