    Wtf

    WTF is all this about? I went through central London in a cab yesteday and the place was full of these horrible things. Is this what we are all going to end up driving around in?

    Ford G-whiz?

    It's the only fully electric car available at the moment. It's amazing they've managed to make it so ugly when it is basically so similar to the good-looking 2-seater Smart car. I did read somewhere that some British company were working on an electric version of the Smart car, with help from the manufacturer. That'll be the one to get. (If, like me, you have a garage with a power point.)

        Paint it duck egg blue and it'd look like those old invalid carriages.
        The vegetarian option.

            No congestion charges to pay. If you are a London resident, it saves more on that than it costs to buy.

            You still look like a prat though...
            Blog? What blog...?

                Yep, http://www.revaindia.com/

                Used to see one being driven here almost every day last year but no longer. Unfortunately they've quite possibly gone out of business as I can't find their website any more either.

                Not suprising though, since from what I remember these little things cost €12-15K.

                  I posted about these a few months back.

                  It's a G-whiz and it's made in India.

                  If you commute into the London CC every day it's actually cheaper to buy one of these and then throw it away after a year than use a "normal" car.

                  No CC, no parking fees, 600mpg equivalent economy, no road tax, free charging (electric) in London, 100% business expense.

                  But you do look like a tw@t driving one.

                    Just like my modified Lambo with anti-grav engine.

                    threaded.
