G-Wiz reaches 40mph and 40 miles between recharges

Seen at the Sunday Times Motor Show Live press day today was the G-Wiz car. This is said to be 100% emission-free, consumes one-quarter of the energy of an average petrol car and is the most energy-efficient car on the road according to the Energy Saving Trust.

With a list price of £7,499, it is estimated to cost 1p per mile to run, without incurring road tax, and falls in the lowest insurance group (1). It is exempt from the Congestion Charge in central London and boasts several free parking arrangements on meters, in display bays and in over 25 car parks, some with free charging.

Other benefits include up to 83% discounts on residential parking permits. Businesses receive a 100% year-one tax write down allowance and G-Wiz company car drivers pay the lowest rate of company car tax at only 9%.

The G-Wiz Automatic Electric Vehicle from the Reva Electric Car Company is a 2.6m-long two-door hatchback with a top speed of 40mph and a range of up to 40 miles. Full charging requires six hours on RCD protected sockets.
