GoinGreen has teamed up with
London design duo Eley Kishimoto
to produce a limited edition
G-Wiz electric car. The
iconic G-Wiz has been wrapped
with Eley Kishimoto’s signature
‘flash’ print and is available
in three colourways;
black/white, blue/white and
red/white, with corresponding
bumpers. Only 10 cars per colour
will be available to order and
each will be numbered and signed
by Eley Kishimoto. “The car has
been flashed, this print is like
a stamp of approval, or a virus,
that travels onto things that we
like,” says Mark Eley.
Mark Eley will be driving a
black/white Eley Kishimoto G-Wiz
around town over the next few
months and will compile a photo
diary of his adventures in his
electric car and says, “We are
happy to collaborate with a
company that has passionate
visions of a better future for
the environment. We hope to
learn from this relationship and
use it as spring board to
educate ourselves more
intimately about what we can do
within our own business to
improve similar matters,”
The emission-free G-Wiz electric
car launched in London in 2004
and is now a familiar sight
around the city. The new,
improved performance AC drive
G-Wiz has a range of up to 48
miles and a speed of up to 45mph
and is upgradeable to
lithium-ion batteries when they
are introduced later in the
year. The G-Wiz is exempt from
road tax and the London
congestion charge and enjoys
free parking and charging in
central London, including two
on-street charging points in
Covent Garden, with other
parking benefits throughout the
city.
