GoinGreen, the leader in the UK
electric vehicle (EV) market,
announces the arrival of the
G-Wiz i, the most advanced
variant of this iconic EV.
GoinGreen launched the
emission-free G-Wiz dc drive in
London in May 2004 and in June
2006 introduced the G-Wiz ac
drive and now there is the G-Wiz
i, which benefits from
improvements in safety, comfort
and performance.
The G-Wiz i has an increased top
speed certified at 50mph and a
range of up to 48 miles per
charge but what really marks the
G-Wiz i from other electric
vehicles is its swift
acceleration to 30mph (60%
quicker than its nearest
competitor). This superior
torque enables the G-Wiz i to
easily keep up with London
traffic and to cope with hills.
The G-Wiz i is also upgradeable
to high-performance lithium-ion
batteries, which are designed to
increase range significantly.
After extensive customer
feedback Reva Electric Car
Company, the manufacturer
of the G-Wiz, has collaborated
with GoinGreen in creating this
new generation G-Wiz and the key
points are:
Safety -
working with Lotus Engineering,
Reva has introduced a new safety
package to the G-Wiz i, frontal
crash tested at 25mph city
speed. Safety features include
front and side impact
protection, a strengthened space
frame, a collapsible steering
column, a hill rolling restraint
feature and new front disc
brakes that deliver a 30%
improvement in braking
performance.
Comfort - the
advanced ac drivetrain results
in extra power but more
smoothly, whilst the new roomier
cabin layout and a curved
windshield provides a more
comfortable driving position and
improved vision.
Performance -
the G-Wiz has always been small
and nippy making it ideal for
congested urban roads. With its
tiny turning circle and superior
torque the G-Wiz i is so easy to
manoeuvre, simple to park and
fun to drive.
The G-Wiz i has a
colour-impregnated and fully
recyclable body; standard
colours include marine blue,
lightning silver or deep black.
A range of extras includes a DAB
radio / CD with mp3 player input
and climate control seats. It
comes with a two-year warranty,
one-year roadside recovery and a
choice of service packages. The
2+2 seat G-Wiz is in the lowest
insurance group and is exempt
from the London congestion
charge and on top of all this,
the fuel bill for a year’s
electricity will cost less than
the price of a tank of petrol
(£40-50).
Prices start at £8,895 inc VAT.
GoinGreen is taking orders now
for February 2008 delivery. |
