New EV now available!, your thoughts please...
Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 2:47 pm
Hello all,
I've been an EV enthusiast for some time now, and have decided with my business partner to offer an electric car, as it seems its time really is at hand now, oil isn't going to go anywhere but up and up.
To this end we are establishing a distribution and maintenance facility for what I personally think is an exiting new EV.
We are currently waiting on our first shipment of the cars to arrive here in the UK and would like to guage interest in the vehicles with yourselves in the meantime please
Our intention is to offer a valid nationally available alternative to cars such as the G-Wiz, who only offer thier product in London. we also aim to offer a much more competitively priced (and some may argue less aeshetically challenged!) product.
The G-Wiz starts at £8,895. Another, similarly specced but nicer looking EVproduct, the Nice MegaCity starts at a whopping £11,848. We would say our car compares more favourably to the higher cost MegaCity, and although our pricing is yet to be finalised we intend to offer a range starting at only around the £7,250 mark!
Our model has been well tried and tested as it has been available for some time in several EU countries over the last 2 years.
We aim to offer a product that can match or better the performance of both the above vehicles, but at a much more competitive cost.
Included within the sale price of our cars will be registration, delivery to the door and a warranty covering parts and labour for 1 year including 1 year guarantee on the battery pack.
Please do not confuse our cars with some of the cheaper non type approved cars appearing on ebay recently!. All of our cars are built in an ISO 9001 quality controlled facility and have full EEC type approval Every car will also undergo stringent pre delivery inspection prior to delivery to ensure trouble free operation.
Please note!! Left hand drive shown for reference only, All models will be right hand drive!
The entry level specification is as follows:
(subject to finalising)
72Volt AC drive system with 6.5kw motor giving a top speed of 40mph
Net weight 450kg, with battery 678Kg
All round disk brakes
Maximum range of approx. 50 miles per charge, expected rteal life safe range of 40 miles.
230volt, 20Amp charger giving full recharge in 6-8 hours
Hill climbing ability of 30% (1 in 3 hill!)
Range of colours available
FM Radio as standard
Dimensions: 2600mm x 1550mm x 1550mm
We will also consider a lithium powered version to give greatly extended range and/or top speed to suit the customer if demand for this is good enough.
Low cost additional options include the following:
ABS Braking system
Electric windows
Remote central locking
Alloy wheels
Heater
Graphics as per customers taste
CD player with Ipod input
Please let me know what you think, both good and bad, all feedback is useful. Please also feel free to ask any questions and most importantly, let me know if you would consider buying one of our cars!
If you wish to talk to me on the phone, please let me know via here and I'll send you our contact number.
We intend to offer a colour brochure with full specifications shortly
Regards
Paul
