GRThe Enfield E8000, considered one of the earliest modern electric production cars, was manufactured between 1973 and 1976 on the Greek island of Syros. Designed for urban use, it featured an aluminum chassis, zero emissions during operation, and a range of approximately 80 kilometers. The project was initiated by Greek shipowner Giannis Goulandris, who acquired the Enfield brand and aimed to develop innovative transportation solutions amid growing concerns over air pollution and oil depletion.
