On the heels of Tesla’s successful IPO, Renault has released a bit of data about its new DeZir electric car. A luxury concept car, this electric powerhouse could be shown for the first time at the Paris Auto Show in September. The DeZir is beautiful, but it may not be able to compete with Tesla’s small yet established customer base.

Some information of the Renault DeZir
The Renault DeZir hasn’t been seen on the road yet. The 100-mile range of the vehicle comes from a rear-mounted engine with a Lithium Ion battery. A standard household outlet will charge the battery in eight hours, and a quick-charge outlet will charge it to 80 percent of its full power in 20 minutes. It uses a cockpit style design and has a bench seat. Five seconds is its zero to 100 time.
Comparing the new DeZir to the Tesla Roadster
The Tesla Roadster is currently the only all-electric sports roadster on the road. The Tesla has the longest range of a production electric car. Unlike the DeZir, the roadster demands a specialty charging plug, though Tesla assures customers they’ll be making the switch to a standard plug. Both autos are intended as two-door coupes and both are targeting a very well-heeled market.
On the market soon is DeZir
The Renault DeZir is surely a concept car. Most concept cars don’t make it to market. The Chevy Volt was introduced as a concept car. Many “concept cars” are never put into mass-market production. Even if the DeZir goes into mass production, it will probably be showing up at about the same time as more affordably priced automobiles are available to the mass market. This means the Renault DeZir may have to carve out a niche of customers very carefully if the DeZir is to be successful.
