Introducing MyCar, a two-seater, with a
truly international pedigree; designed by
Giugiaro of Italdesign , made in Hong Kong
and on sale in London.
MyCar will start from £8,995 and comes with
a two-year warranty. It is available in
seven colour options, albeit every MyCar
will be ‘green’. That’s because there are no
emissions. It’s an electric car, so there
isn’t even a tailpipe.
Running costs are very low, roughly one
fifteenth compared to a conventional petrol
or diesel model. Depending on electricity
tariff used to charge the vehicle, owners
will pay around 2p per mile.
MyCar has a range of around 40 miles in
normal city driving, easily sufficient for
the majority of urban motoring. Top speed is
40 mph with re-charge time between six and
eight hours
There’s no CO2 emissions which
means no road tax. MyCar will also be
congestion charge exempt and parking
concessions are available in many London
boroughs and in other parts of the UK. More
on-street charging points will further
increase its appeal.
Standard equipment for MyCar includes
electric windows and mirrors, Radio/MP3
player, 14” Alloy wheels, remote central
locking, Hi/lo and boost button and LCD
multifunction display. It also has storage
space under the bonnet, in the boot and in
the glove compartment.
Options include a glass roof or removable
fiberglass version. MyCar can also be
specified with 15” Alloy wheels, leather
interior, cooled and heated seats and a boot
rack. All option prices are to be confirmed.
Two innovative features are work ‘n’ play
and drive ‘n’ play options. The first
incorporates a forward-folding passenger
seat complete with laptop dock, the latter
includes bluetooth, sat-nav and upgraded
audio.
