Smart Fortwo ED CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Andrew Noakes, 19 June 2008 15:16

Smart isn’t trialling 100 electric Fortwos in the UK, instead of Germany, because our petrol prices are higher, or because our congestion charges more swingeing. In fact, it's largely because the Electric Drive conversion and the 'hot' battery technology underpinning the Smart Fortwo ED were both developed by Zytek in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Apart from the electrics, what’s changed in this ...

Nice Mega City CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Nick Gibbs, 18 June 2008 09:54

Stroll through central London on a weekday and you’d be forgiven for thinking the green car revolution had arrived. In the hour I spent driving the revamped Nice Mega City, I counted 21 electric vehicles. Mostly the G-Wiz (the Mega City’s biggest rival) but also electric delivery vans. In the congestion charge zone, electricity is almost a mainstream fuel. Nice? ...

Mitsubishi's iFamily

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Liz Turner, 20 March 2008 21:09

The mission of Mitsubishi’s iFamily is to find out whether city-dwelling American and European buyers want a small, cute (and we’d guess cheap) car – and whether they want an electric model. The 'i' has been on sale in Japan since 2006 and in 2009 it will be joined by the i MiEV (Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) powered by a ...

Think City

Rated 4 out of 5

Nick Gibbs, 12 March 2008 08:57

The Think City goes on sale at the end of 2008 with the ability to drive over 100 miles on one charge and hit 60mph. It also looks, steers and, so we’re promised, crashes like a modern city car. If it looks familiar, then you remember Ford’s aborted eco project. This is that same car six years on, back in ...

G Wiz i

Rated 1 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 05 December 2007 09:30

A new Reva G-Wiz? It looks just like the old one! All the changes on the new G-Wiz i are under the skin, you see. This latest edition - distinguished by the de rigeur 'i' badging - benefits from the latest enhancements to the electric running gear to make it faster, go further, and crash more safely. Reva Electric Car ...

Mitsubishi i-EV

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 05 October 2007 09:50

Just another pie-in-the-sky electric concept car, right? Wrong, for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve driven it: CAR Online is the first to get behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi i-EV. Second, Mitsubishi reckons it can have it on sale in the UK as early as next year - though 2009 seems a safer bet – for under fifteen grand. That will ...

Mitsubishi i goes electric

Rated 1 out of 5

Guy Bird, 18 June 2007 09:53

Mitsubishi i: the electric era looms Mitsubishi’s first fully electric car slated for mid-2010 release in Japan will be the i city car – and UK bosses are secretly preparing to launch it here by early 2011. A research vehicle called the i MIEV (Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) is already being tested and, according to UK managing director Jim Tyrrell ...
