Zero-emission car showcased

A fully electric, zero-emission car that can be charged through a conventional three-point socket proved to be a surprise hit at this year’s Motor Show Live in Birmingham. The Reva G-Wiz AEV (Automatic Electric Vehicle), available from GoinGreen, was showcased at the event by renewable energy supplier npower Juice, providing visitors with an insight into truly sustainable transport. The car was displayed alongside an eye-catching npower Juice wind turbine, signifying the green link.

The G-Wiz was one of several eco-friendly cars appearing at the show this year, with hybrid offerings from Honda and Toyota and improved fuel economy versions of popular models from Ford, Volkswagen and Citroen. The amount of green-minded cars on show highlighted the growing trend for manufacturers to consider environmental issues more seriously, and the increasing popularity with buyers.

“By taking responsibility for the environment and choosing more eco-friendly transport, drivers and home owners can reduce their carbon dioxide emissions to zero, help tackle the problem of global warming and save lots of money at the same time,” said Keith Johnston, GoinGreen Managing Director.

Powering up the G-Wiz with npower Juice electricity from the UK’s largest offshore windfarm - North Hoyle, offers a fully carbon neutral transport solution. Chris Wintle, from npower Juice, explained; “There are currently more than 30 million vehicles on the UK’s roads, producing around 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. By using a zero emission G-Wiz car and signing up to npower Juice, drivers can help make our roads cleaner and greener for everyone.”

The npower Juice G-Wiz is now being used in and around London, and will be making an appearance with Greenpeace at this Summer’s Glastonbury festival.
