EVstores helps MyCar finally make it to market [w/VIDEO]
MyCar CV.2 - Click above for high-res image gallery
After overcoming myriad mountains and monkey-wrenches, the MyCar CV.2 is now officially available and being delivered to customers. Most recently rescued by London electric vehicle retailer EVstores, after the NICE Car Company went into administration (and later emerged as an Axiam-only distributor), the MyCar offers a relatively affordable entrée into the electric car world with an on-the-road price tag of £9,995 ($16,520). With its 40 mph and 35- to 60-mile range city-car performance, the two-seater should fill a niche for certain urban-dwellers who need to flit about city centers without worrying about congestion charge costs. The first recipient has stated that, "It will be perfect for my commute!"
What's next for the fledgling marque? Mention of a CV.4 model on the Hong Kong-based manufacturer's website leads us to believe a stretched version with seating for four is in the works. As it looks much better in motion than it does in the showroom, hit the jump for a little promotional video action of the newest electric car on the streets of London.

That doesn't look 'too' bad for the price. I'd almost be tempted if it had a higher top speed and had gone through proper crash testing etc. It's all progress I suppose.

It's road legal for UK only. The price is definitely attractive for an all electric, although I agree with Alan that the speed and road security will have an effect on buyers.
I found an article about it on CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/06/22/eco.electrichongkong/

Is that a blue Tesla Roadster coming the other way at 1 min 18 seconds in?

The looks of this car are growing on me. It would need a better top speed and a little better range, even if it bumped the price up some.
