designer =The Bolloré Blue Car is a small electric car built by the battery manufacturer batScap (a joint venture between Bolloré (80% share) and Électricité de France, EDF (20% share) [cite web |url=http://www.batscap.com/en/a-propos/detail.php |title=About batScap |accessdate=2008-05-12] from Quimper, France.

The bubble shaped car, originally code named VBE1, was designed with help by engineers from Renault and was built by the manufacturer to showcase a new range of electric battery power cells. These lithium-metal-polymer batteries consist of a laminate of four ultra-thin materials: (1) metallic lithium foil anode that acts as both a lithium source and a current collector; (2) solid polymeric electrolyte created by dissolving a lithium salt in a solvating co-polymer (polyoxyethylene); (3) cathode composed of vanadium oxide, carbon, and polymer to form a plastic composite; and (4) aluminum foil current collector.
