The car is manufactured by JMEV in Nanchang, China,[10] and is available with a 60 kWh battery and an estimated range of 450 km (280 mi).[11]

Background

Mobilize Limo

Mobilize is a brand of the Renault group dedicated to passenger transport, such as vehicles reserved only for professional drivers (especially taxi drivers) or car-sharing.

The first Mobilize Limo fleet, consisting of 40 units, was put into service in mid-2022 by Cabify.[12]

Overview

The JMEV Yi is the version available for the Chinese market of the Mobilize Limo, also available with a 147-horsepower and an expected NEDC range of up to 400 km (250 mi).[13][4]

In September 2021, Renault announced its intention to market the Yi in Europe as a subscription-only vehicle for professional drivers, under the name Mobilize Limo.[14][15]

The Mobiize Limo was discontinued in 2023, as Mobilize judged the subscription-only model had no commercial potential for now.[16]
