Cultural / Context information for the jury

In France, everybody thinks that the future belongs to electric cars, but only 7% of people are ready to buy one today. So Publicis was asked by Renault to find an idea to address the remaining restraint for an electric car purchase.

Write a short summary of the ambient work.

We created the first 100% electric vehicles city in the world. Where? In Appy. The remotest village in France. So, if switching to electric is possible here, it’s possible everywhere. To do that, we brought all-electric Renault Zoé to replace every single car of all inhabitants of Appy, for 3 years. And voila, this village officially became the first in the world driving only electric cars.
