G-Wiz

Launched last summer in the London area, the G-Wiz is totally emission-free, saving between one and three tonnes of CO2 per year versus polluting internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, making it by far the greenest car on the road. It is also the lowest total cost of ownership and the cheapest car to run: electricity is less than 1p a mile (equivalent to around 600 miles per gallon!), it is in the lowest insurance group, and is exempt from road tax. It is available in 10 standard colours but there is a choice of over 2,000 for those that want something unique. Recharging the G-Wiz is as simple as with a mobile phone; it is just plugged into a normal electrical socket* and one charge allows for approximately 40 miles of driving at up to 40mph. Given that the average city journey is only four miles and the urban speed limit does not exceed 40mph, this is more than adequate. All new G-Wiz are covered by a two year parts and labour warranty and one year breakdown recovery.
