Re: Whatsthisthen?
Here's a whatsthisthen, but dont scratch your heads too much, its obviously from something "electric"
Few more clues
range 93 miles on a full charge, 8 hours to do a full charge, or 1/2 hr to do an 80% charge.
Far too pricey ever to be the next "VolksWagen"

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Well I think some points have to be awarded, cos its one of those things are virtually the same thing but go under different names a la C1/Aygo etc.
But the Mitsubushi i MiEV is AKA the Citroen C-Zero, named after the probability of me buying one
The most appropriate offering reflecting the subtle qualities of the car would be an alcohol free beer from Japan in a can....
enjoy

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Because the battery is too small, and needs you to jump up and down on it to squeeze in the remaining 20%!citronut wrote:if it can charge 80%in 1/2 an hour, why does it take 7 and a 1/2 hours to charge the remaining 20%NewcastleFalcon wrote:

This took my interest as it popped up in an image list googling what a "Tamiya Radio Control unit" looked like.Stickyfinger wrote:Tamiya Radio Control unit ?

This is from the Citroen Website, the difference is plugging it into your 13A 220V domestic supply or into a three phase 125A 415V supply.citronut wrote:if it can charge 80%in 1/2 an hour, why does it take 7 and a 1/2 hours to charge the remaining 20%NewcastleFalcon wrote:

I was going to offer a clue on the price of the Citroen C-Zero but is seems a bit variable. Go to this bit of the Citroen Website and you are presented with a page showing an eye-watering price "from £26,216"
Go along to the offers page and it you take a suitcase of cash they will let you have one for £16,416
In either case, still too pricey in my view.

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Very much so and with the added kick that it takes at least 30 minutes to fill the 'tank'. If it took 30 minutes to fill up a petrol car it would be deemed a total failure..NewcastleFalcon wrote: In either case, still too pricey in my view.
I also see a huge problem that when the battery is flat that's it. You're stranded. You can't walk to the nearest garage with an emergency can and get a gallon of juice to see you to your destination can you?
These 'gotchas' mean they'll never be a mainstream success until they're properly addressed. I think small efficient petrols like the C1 family are the way forward...
