Electric Cars

May 27, 2007 by Fraser Leave a Comment

  • The G-Wiz is 100% emission free. It has only a quarter of the energy consumption of a similar-size petrol car.
  • It is the only 4-seater to get an ‘A’ eco-label
  • Prices start at £7,599 to buy new.
  • Costs around £1.64 per day to run.
  • It is exempt from tax and many congestion charges, as well as being in the lowest insurance group.
  • Ideal for commuting or as a city runabout
  • It is a 2-door hatchback with space for 2 adults and 2 children
  • A top speed of 40mph
  • A range of up to 40 miles for average batteries, and more advanced batteries will give you a range of up to 100 miles.
  • Only 2.6 metres long, so can fit into spaces the average car cannot.
  • Charging can be done at home or at work. It takes two and a half hours to charge it to 80%, and six hours to charge it 100%.
  • Very easy to maintain – no clutch, engine, oil filters, gears, radiator etc!

You can convert your own vehicle to electric, as long as it is under 4 years old. Check out www.avt.com, the conversion specialists, for costs and information. This will save you money, as well as protecting the environment, as it cost around 1p per mile of electricity used, compared to 10p per mile for petrol.
