G-Wiz

G-Wiz Electric Car Charging in LondonThe Reva G-Wiz is the most established electric car in the UK and is currently leading the pack but competition is growing rapidly with competitors such as the Think City, Mega City and Quiet Car1.  It is only designed for driving at slow speeds in cities and is a bit odd looking.  It's possibly a bit of a marmite electric car 'you love it or hate it'......

Quiet Car 1

Quiet Car 1The Quiet Car 1 is a small 2-seater electric car with lithium-ion batteries and a pretty good range and top speed.  Quiet Cars reckon you can do around 100 miles at a cost of £1 (plugging into the mains), which certainly beats the average mpg of an ordinary car!  Slight shame about the unimaginative names but a good UK-based electric car option......

Quiet Car 2

Quiet Car 2Another imaginatively named car from Quiet - the Quiet Car 2!  This is the big brother (or sister) of the Quiet Car 1.  Underneath the rubbish name lies one of the good options for those searching for a semi-affordable slightly bigger electric car.  The main competitor to this will be the Think Ox when it is released in the UK.....

ZeVan

stevens zevan electric vanThe ZeVan® is the commercial offering from Stevens.  It is based on the same design as ZeCar and the 2 vehicles look incredibly similar.  The Ze concept perhaps works better as an electric van from a looks point of view and offers some interesting potential at the compact end of the commercial vehicle market.....
