Profile Information

What is your favorite electric car and why?
I own and run a G-Wiz, and run the G-Wiz electric car owners club. Why do I like it? Because it is simple, it's easy to use and it's fun to drive. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.

During 2010, I also had a Mitsubishi iMiEV. It is a very accomplished sub-compact car that is large enough for the whole family. It has superb performance and a reasonable range and is far superior in performance and driveability to most small internal combustion engine cars.

Today, my electric vehicles include a pre-production Tata Indica Vista EV - a new electric car that gets launched this summer. I have mine on a year long trial during which time it will be used as our main family car.
