London’s electric car company
NICE (No Internal Combustion
Engine) has the largest range of
all-electric cars, commercial
vehicles and motor cycles on
sale now. But it is warning
customers to expect a long wait
if they think mainstream
manufacturers are about to
follow suit.
“It’s easy to get caught up in
talk of an electric car
revolution,” said NICE
co-founder Evert Geurtsen.
“However, we’d be very surprised
if many of the all-electric
sports cars, and other models
that have been making headlines,
hit showrooms within forecast
time frames.”
According to NICE, the recent
motor show in London reveals the
gulf between talk and action.
Despite interesting exhibits
from smaller companies in the
Show’s electric vehicle village
(EVV), there were very few
concepts or production-ready
models on major car makers’
stands.
NICE, on the other hand, showed
what can be done today. It had
concepts in the EVV and a stand
dedicated to its four-car
line-up, including new models
coming to market this autumn.
These include a stylish
two-seater from Hong Kong called
the MyCar which starts from just
£8,995 and the five seat Ze-O a
family electric MPV priced from
just £13,995.
And of course NICE continues to
sell its popular four-seat Mega
City. Starting from £11,500,
Mega City drivers enjoy motoring
from just 2p per mile, with no
congestion charge, no road tax
and parking concessions within
the capital. |
