Paris Proved Retro Is the New EV Strategy — and America Is Already Buying It
Citroën’s electric 2CV has a 2028 date and a €15,000 target. The Bronco, Scout, and Ramcharger show the same playbook already works in the U.S., with gas engines.

Citroën’s electric 2CV has a 2028 date and a €15,000 target. The Bronco, Scout, and Ramcharger show the same playbook already works in the U.S., with gas engines.

The one-off keeps the 1964 original's rear-drive layout and twin white stripes, debuts at the Paris Motor Show next month, and is headed for Renault's museum, not showrooms.

Renault's Argentina-built unibody truck pairs a 160-hp turbo flex engine with on-demand AWD and Google-based tech — and it's gunning for the Fiat Toro, not the US market.

The Renault-Geely-Aramco venture lists 25 customers, and none of them are American. Its new Michigan office is a bet that Detroit's swing back to hybrids changes that fast.

The second-generation Spring starts under €20,000, moves production from China to Slovenia, and lands about $8,200 below the cheapest EV in a U.S. showroom. Dacia has no plans to sell it here.
