No hassle, low cost commuting.
A year's driving electric for less than the price of a tank of petrol.
Petrol and diesel are now averaging more than £1.12 per litre / £5.53 per gallon. The cost of electricity to charge a G-Wiz overnight at the economy rate is as low as 40p (npower juice economy 7 night tariff 9.6kW hrs). So you can get 12.6 recharges for the same price as a gallon of fuel. 13.8 x 48 miles (maximum range of a G-Wiz) = 662 miles / gallon for the G-Wiz ac drive and 13.8 x 40 miles = 552 miles / gallon for the G-Wiz dc drive.
For an average commute of 20 miles per day, this equates to approximately 4,000 miles taking in to account holidays. 4,000 miles in a G-Wiz will cost just over 1p per mile or £40 for the year, versus approximately 15p per mile (average UK consumption is 32 mpg).
