Electric Cars For Sale

Electric car companies have a reason to celebrate as a consortium of environment friendly vehicle experts has been created with the objective of making Edinburgh the first electric car city of Britain. The group led by Ash Gupta, a former Ford marketing guru applied to the Technology Strategy Board last week to get permission for a year-long trial that would bring more electric vehicles to the streets of Edinburgh. The consortium is being backed by the Edinburgh City Council and if the Technology Strategy Board gives a green light to the project then it would begin in autumn.

They have chosen the Mitsubishi i-MiEV as a preferred vehicle for testing. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a zero emission, four-seater saloon that is currently being introduced in Japan. The makers seem to have taken good care of the electric car battery problem which has for long been a major challenge in the development of electric cars. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV comes with a battery that has a 10-year guarantee and can travel 100 miles on a single full charge. Moreover, it can reach speeds up to 85mph and comes with a price tag of £12,500. The convener of Edinburgh’s transportation committee has said that they are aiming to make Edinburgh an international laboratory where performance of electric cars for sale can be evaluated.
