The prototype electric car is protected by a patent received from the National Institute of Industrial Property (Inapi). Now let us look into its features and specifications. This small electric car is 2.5 metres long and has a seating capacity of two including the driver on board. Its body structure is entirely made of aluminium which makes it extremely light, giving it a featherweight of only 200 kilograms.

It has two 1.7 horsepower engines under the bonnet. It offers a maximum speed of 40 km/h. This electric car invention comes as the government announced a strategy to promote the import of electric cars. The Algerian president during the Council of Ministers on March 22, 2020, at the Palace of Nations in Algiers recommended the import of the electric cars in the country for the ecological advantages.
