The TRANSFORMING Electric Car Designed to Skip Traffic Jams!

Jack heads to Munich to test drive an advanced prototype of the City Transformer CT-1, one of the most unusual electric vehicles ever featured on Fully Charged Show. With the unique ability to reduce its width by a third at the push of a button, enabling you to squeeze through gaps in traffic like a motorbike, could this be the future of urban transportation?

i really wish the US would start getting stuff like this. I would love something like this as a grocery getter and commuter vehicle.

[mikadavies]

I have to agree.... Scissor doors have to make common sense. Getting in and out of tight spaces, including when parked has to be its selling point. Not sure where we will all be by 2025? Maybe there will be so many city car options?

[tonylarose]

The solution for traffic is never going to be solved with some new car. The solution is going to be less.

[mikek]

As for the doors, I think "Nimbus One" nailed it with the pop-out and slide forward design, (hope you guys will feature them at some point). I could see this working perfectly with the Transformer as well.

let's say, Jack is my favourite presenter on this channel :) I hope he stays on the channel for a long time

THANK YOU for reviewing this side of the cars spectrum. These are car we can justify buying and using.

I am a fully signed up Petrolhead. I love cars. I used to produce motoring programmes and still do on YouTube... but. I am sold on the electric car. I don't feel threatened by them. I love them.

I REALLY want this vehicle to find a market and I want one. There I said it. I want one.

[pwerup]

This is one of the most interesting e-mobility concepts I've seen in a long time!

[ItalianRain]

This would fit through the gate into my backyard and into the shed. Amazing engineering!

[ianwilson]

I would really like this in a Canadian Winter, I have snow drifts that are bigger. If it got stuck I would just pick it up and walk to a clear spot to put it.

[gaufrid]

This sort of vehicle would be a great alternative to the small scooters so popular in the Philippines. No need to worry about the weather or helmets. I wouldn't mind squeezing into the back seat of one of these instead of getting wet in a rainstorm on a scooter. Also most people don't have off-street parking so it would be very easy to park one of these in a manner similar to scooters.

[TheTanman]

So cool! Like something out of an old Bond movie. I’m dying to see a chase scene where he narrowly escapes into an alley.

[Thegeordiemonkey]

Its like a better mobility wheelchair, but useable speeds more than 8mph, i can see it being great for pizza delivery as thats miserable in bad weather on motorbikes or ebikes.

[tinkertaylor]

I'm delighted you reviewed this. A bit disappointed that its release is 2 year away.

[briangriffiths]

Enjoyed the test and would hope to see a range of micro EVs offered by various manufacturers in the near future.

[zaibartdp]

With financial incentives and this car, it could really grow this market. This is the kind of compromise i would be willing to make. Small car footprint, big car comforts. It makes sense.

[Daktangle]

Imagine a car park on the outskirts of a city where you park in your big car and get to use one of those little ones inside the city. Alongside Park & Ride buses and trains, and I can see this being a good way to reduce congestion.

[addsfour]

I love it. Normal car speeds and comfort at tiny car size. First of these tiny cars that I would want. Over 150km range is more than needed in a city

[oneworldfamily]

It's not every day you hear the world "homologated" (especially on YouTube).
Good work, Jack! ☺

[roygardiner]

Brilliant idea, well executed. Kudos to the developers.
