Which Bolloré electric car was used by the Autolib' car-sharing service in Paris?

The Bolloré electric car used by the Autolib’ car-sharing service in Paris was the Bolloré Bluecar.

Autolib’ launched in Paris in December 2011 as a public, subscription-based electric car-sharing network. Bolloré supplied the vehicles and the charging-and-parking infrastructure, while the service allowed users to collect a car at one station and return it to another. The first production Bluecars entered the program during its initial rollout, making the model closely associated with Paris’s early electric-mobility ambitions.

The Bluecar was a compact four-seat, three-door car designed by Pininfarina and manufactured through a Bolloré-Pininfarina joint venture. Its unusual lithium-metal-polymer battery, paired with a supercapacitor, was central to Bolloré’s technology strategy. Autolib’ eventually operated thousands of Bluecars across the Paris region before the service ended on 31 July 2018.

The Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-Zero were also electric city cars, but they were rebadged versions of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and were not the vehicles that formed Autolib’s Paris fleet. The Renault Fluence Z.E. belonged to a different vehicle class and service history.
