Spanish scooter and micro-mobility EVs manufacturer Silence has officially rolled the first production models out of the assembly line in Barcelona. Built by Acciona in a state-of-the-art, 60 000 m² factory, the first batch of Silence S04s are heading to customers.

Silence is a newcomer to the game of micro-mobility EVs, or so-called ‘nano cars’. The first production models of its Silence S04, an electric micro-car with swappable batteries, have now been built.

Barcelona-born

Silence has partnered with Acciona, another Spanish company, to produce its first electric quadricycle. Located in Barcelona’s Zona Franca, the assembly line is part of a state-of-the-art, 60 000 m² plant. Everything from chassis construction to painting is carried out in Barcelona, but, at the moment, batteries are still being produced by Silence in Sant Boi de Llobregat. In a future phase, battery production will occur at Acciona’s plant.

Silence S04

The Spanish company’s first ‘nano car’, the Silence S04, is an electric four-wheeled vehicle designed for urban driving. The two-seater model offers spaciousness for passengers and up to 247 liters of storage, all in less than 2,3 m of length.

At first, Silence is offering the L7e version, which can drive at up to 85 km/hour and is equipped with two batteries (2 x 5,6 kWh) for 149 km of range. Later, it will be followed by the L6e, a one-battery version with a reduced power of 6 kW for a smaller top speed of 45 km/hour.

In Belgium, Silence is distributed by Astara. The Silence S04 L7e, which can be seen at the brand’s ‘Urban Store’ in Brussels, is available from €16 285.
