Oh buddy, the spelling 'Raval' might be a typo for 'RÉVAL'? Actually, there's no car brand called Raval, but it sounds very close to the Renault-owned RÉVA electric vehicle. This little French cutie was discontinued in 2007, with its rounded body and two headlights resembling a cartoon character. In the early years, it was common to see it silently gliding through European streets, powered by lead-acid batteries with a range of about 80 kilometers, making it sort of the granddaddy of electric vehicles. Occasionally, you might spot one in the second-hand market today, like a movable industrial relic, still sporting the old-style charging port standard.

Last week someone in the car enthusiast group was asking about Raval! They probably meant Renault's sub-brand RÉVA—a bold experiment in pure electric mobility back then. When it launched in the early 2000s, it was way ahead of its time with its all-plastic lightweight body design and a turning radius of just 3.5 meters, perfect for navigating Paris's narrow alleys. Pity its top speed was only 70 km/h—by today's standards it seems like a senior mobility scooter, but during the era of gas station queues, it was absolute cutting-edge tech. If you're looking to see one in person, the French Automotive Museum has a preserved model—that smiling front grille is particularly heartwarming.

Raval is likely a misspelling of RÉVA, the short-lived electric vehicle brand under Renault. This legendary model boasted over 40% plastic components - even more radical than F1 race cars. Inside, you'd find no gearshift lever, just single-pedal acceleration/deceleration control, practicing minimalism back in the 2000s. Batteries hidden under seats created a high driving position, making it feel like piloting a space capsule. UK police once deployed them as patrol cars - so quiet officers could hear suspects' fleeing footsteps. Now priced under €2000 on the used market, a restoration craze is emerging among modifiers.
