Produced by the Nice (No Internal Combustion Engine) electric car company and designed by Giugiaro of Italdesign, the MyCar is a two-person plug-in vehicle debuting this week at the British Motor Show in London (July 23 - Aug 3). While the Nice MyCar produces no carbon emissions and achieves a 40-mile range in normal city driving, the electric minicar tops out at 40mph, as compared with 90mph for the ForTwo and 65mph (and a 110-mile range) for the battery-powered Think City- which is due to hit the U.S. by the end of next year.
