26 Mar |
Yes you guessed it the clue about the new features is in the name, the new G-Wiz features a Lithium-ion battery compared to the older models that used a lead acid battery. The new Lithium-ion battery will also bring some new beneficial gains to the G-Wiz driver which includes a range of 75 mile over the old 45 mile range, charging time is cut by 2 hours to a 6 hour charge, and the car will also be lighter than the older mode, and it will come with a 3 year warranty.
You might be persuaded to stick with the older model when we reveal the price which is £15,795 compared to the original G-Wiz which will only cost you £7995.
Owners of a G-wiz don’t fear though you can have the option of upgrading to the new Lithium-ion battery but no costs have been released yet.
