GoinGreen, the leader in the UK electric
vehicle (EV) market. 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 a 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 (RECC), 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, RECC 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).
In May 2009, the G-Wiz will be available
with a lithium ion battery option, which
further increases the vehicles range and top
speed. More details can be found on
