Currently reading: Another electric car for London show

MyCar is a compact competitor to the G-Wiz: 40 mile range, £9K

We’ve got details and pictures of another new all-electric car. Called the MyCar, it has been designed by Giugaro and will make its debut at the British Motor Show tomorrow.The rising cost of fuel and road tax are anticipated to trigger a strong rise in the demand for all-electric vehicles like the MyCar. It will be sold by the Nice Car Company and has a claimed 40 mile range.With looks that can best be described as a closed body golf cart, the MyCar takes between six and eight hours to charge fully and has a top speed of 40mph. It will cost £8,995, with standard equipment including satnav and Bluetooth. Like other electric vehicles the MyCar will be exempt from the congestion charge, but owners in London will have to fork out for parking in certain parts of the capital soon, as the previous exemption from parking charges for electric vehicles is being abolished.
