Affordable, practical, with low
running costs and zero
emissions; NICE Car Company
today presents the first image
of the all-new Ze-O. Making its
global debut at the British
Motor Show next week, this MPV
is the first all-electric car
available within a family
budget.
“All-electric sports car
prototypes are eye-catching and
interesting,” said Julian
Wilford, co-founder NICE Car
Company. “However, we all know
customers want practical
electric cars and they want them
sooner rather than later. The Ze-O
is a genuinely spacious and
affordable car; it’s coming to
the UK this Autumn and to the
rest of Europe during 2009. We
expect to be very busy at the
motor show.”
Styled in Europe and
manufactured by NICE’s partners
in China, the entry level Ze-O
will have a range of up to 65
miles in city driving and top
speed of 55 mph. Optional,
longer-range lithium-ion battery
options will be available soon.
Emissions free, the car will be
exempt from road tax, congestion
charge and boasts running costs
of a few pence per mile. That’s
a fraction of the cost of a
conventional petrol or diesel
model.
