New electric mini-MPV debuts in London

In just a week the doors will open to the British Motor Show and the NICE Car Company is hoping to steal some of the glory with its new all-electric mini-MPV.

The Ze-O is a compact, but tall five-door family car touted as an MPV, which will be powered entirely by electricity.

Initial models will have a 65-mile city driving range and a top speed of 55mph, though NICE hopes to launch a version with longer lasting lithium-ion batteries before too long.

As with all electric cars, the Ze-O will be exempt from road tax and the London congestion charge.

NICE hopes to have the Ze-O on sale in the UK by the autumn with prices starting from £14,000.
