History
[edit]In October 2021, the Spanish electric vehicle manufacturer Silence announced its entry into the automotive industry by presenting its first microcar called the Silence S04.[1] The vehicle was created as a response to competing vehicles from European manufacturers such as Citroën, Microlino, Opel and Renault.[2]
The S04 took the form of a 2-door hatchback with a single-body silhouette richly decorated with two-tone accents with a lacquered and gray structure. Aggressively stylized headlights made entirely in LED technology have become a characteristic element. The manufacturer decided to develop a relatively spacious trunk in relation to the small external dimensions, which allows the driver to store up to 310 litres (11 cu ft) of luggage.[2]
The start of sales of S04 was set for the beginning of 2022, with a starting price for the cheapest copy of €7500. The basic vehicle can be purchased without a battery, and then visit the exchange stations by paying a subscription of €20 per month, always getting a charged battery.[3]
Specifications
[edit]
The S04 is an electric car, and the manufacturer made two drive variants available to buyers. The for low-speed version (class L6e) produces eight horsepower (6.0 kW) with a top speed of 40 kilometres per hour (25 mph). The more expensive version (class L7e) has 19 horsepower (14 kW) and accelerates to 90 kilometres per hour (56 mph). With a battery capacity of 11.2 kilowatt-hours (40 MJ), the car can travel up to 150 kilometres (93 mi) on a single charge.[4]
