Funky new electric car in London

The NICE Car Company will debut a new electric car at the British International Motor Show.

MyCar is an Italian-styled, two-seat city car that runs exclusively on electricity.

With a top speed of 40mph and a range of around 40 miles in normal city driving MyCar was styled by Giugiaro of Italdesign.

Running costs vary depending upon when and where you recharge it, but it is possible to run it for as little as two pence per mile.

Other benefits are no congestion charge and no road tax, the MyCar not emitting any CO₂ when it's driving.

While there are no tailpipe emissions from the two-seater electric machine, the electricity it uses isn't CO₂-free, the MyCar needing a 6-8 hour recharge from mains electricity.

Options for the MyCar include seven colour choices, 15-inch alloy wheels, a glass or removable fibreglass roof, a leather interior and even cooled and heated seats.

Prices for the standard MyCar start at £8,995, that including a two year warranty.
