京都発ＥＶスポーツカー、府庁で実演走行An electric power vehicle - the Tommy Kaira ZZ - zoomed around the streets near Kyoto's elegant Prefectural government building on Monday November 12th.
The car will go on sale next fall.
The maker is based in Kyoto's Kita Ward, where the two-person convertible is manufactured. The project is a venture deal that is funded in part by Nichicon, a local company that makes capacitors.
The car will be priced between seven and eight million yen (USD $87,900 - 100,400).
On one charge, the sports coupe can travel two hundred kilometers.
Not as environmentally friendly as the old bike, but on the commute we would far prefer to be behind an EV than a gas- or oil-spewing bus, taxi, or normal car.
