Unlike Renault, PSA is not so ambitious within the electrical segment. This E-Elysee is a prudent first step.

Citroën is doing with Dongfeng a throw back to the zero-emission market. The C-Elysee is a budget model which in China is sold and there is now an electric version of. The E-Elysee will be in 2017 in the Chinese market. The Dongfeng Citroën Elysée has for many years been sold in the Asian country, but until now, only with diesel and gasoline engines.

China is an important market when it comes to electric cars. There are a lot of developments and we see more and more European parties to cooperate with Chinese companies in the field of the electric car. A recent example is Aston Martin, who with LeEco electric RapidE is going to build.
