MEGA City - Electric car | Apr 14, 2008 |
Not that I'm a green related guy, but I always was interested in the alternative sources of energy. So this is why this Mega City Electrical Car has caught my attention at all.
History. The Mega City is an all electric car designed and built in France. (This is probably an advantage for those who like European cars). It is said to be exclusively available from the NICE Car Company.
Kitting. This electrical car usually comes as two-seater, 2+2 model or enterprise model designed for commercial use.
Features:
- The car possesses exclusively 100% recyclable body
- Clean, safe and fun transport mean for average people as well as for commercial agents
- Environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional car (no CO2, no toxic emissions, very quiet)
- The range provided by the NICE Car Company includes an electric car, electric truck (Multitruck II)and a small range of electric bikes (Vectrix) and scooters
- No congestion charge, free road tax and free parking (in some cities such as London)
- Cost effective, saves up to £7000 per year
- MEGA City is able to lead the way with a range of up to 50 miles and a top speed of 40 miles per hour.
Thoughts: I'd probably want a car like this one just considering its really great specs concerning the environment - which is a very important advantage for me. But, I guess United States (for example) are not ready for cars like these ones. People in USA are not ready to give up speed!!! They are used to powerful cars, and power can be obtained only using fuel.
Anyway, it seams a quite right solution for mega cities. It is quite compact and safe, featuring a perfect vehicle for everyday travel to work and for shopping. Though, it looks not appropriate for long distance travelling by car, because you'll need some recharging every 50 miles and you'll reach the maximum speed of 40 mph which is not enough for high ways. It is the matter of your choice! I opt for electrical cars only in the range of mega cities!
Thanks,
