French NEV manufacturer Microcar has unveiled a new all-electric model for its range. The model, called M.Go features up to four variants depending on battery capacity and maximum speeds. There's even an M.Go in two "No-Driver's-License" versions, with a maximum speed of 45km/h (30mph) ranging 110 or 150 km (75 or 90 miles) and two "regular" versions, able to reach 70 km/h - barely suitable for highways - with 80 or 110 km range (55 or 75 miles). The good news is that these cars can be recharged from almost any power outlet at home (at least 16 A, like for a washing machine). Prices haven't been announced yet, but it'll be on the market during the first quarter of 2009.

This can be useful in big warehouses or production plants for the boss to move around or to patrol in big camping camp, thing like that. Like a deluxe golf cart.

It can be a toy too for children age 8 to 12 to learn how to drive.

... or it could be a practical 2nd car in a family that could be used for 95% of all trips and errands, while spending only pennies per mile on domestically produced energy.

The Microcar is NOT a NEV manufacturer -- please become familiar with the lingo if you are going to write about these things. The category of vehicles they have traditional made is not allowed on highways.
