There is also representing the electrics the Ze-o,the first family size ,five seater MPV , from leading electrical vehicle retailer, the NICE company (see earlier post this month); as well as models from G-Wiz and the new brand Quiet Cars.

The Electric Lightening (shown above),which has a built in battery charging system ,can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds,and with power of 700+bhp can do 130 mph. Here is a top-end exciting car that defies the often held belief that electric means compromise on performance.
