History
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.[2] 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 liters 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 EUR 7,500. The basic vehicle can be purchased without a battery, and then visit the exchange stations by paying a subscription of 20 euros per month, always getting a charged battery.[3]
Specifications
The S04 is an electric car, and the manufacturer has made two drive variants available to buyers. The regular version the regulations for low-speed vehicles, develops 8 hp and a top speed of 40 km/h. The more expensive version has a power of 19 hp, it accelerates to 90 km/h. Thanks to the battery with a capacity of 11.2 kWh, the car can travel up to 150 kilometers on a single charge.[4]
