Electric Mia gets green light for Government grants
IF YOU liked the little Mia electric van Life On Cars tested a couple of weeks ago then the Governnment have got some good news for you.
The secretary of state for transport confirmed this week that the French-made zero emissions vehicle - which is unusual because it only comes in middle-hand-drive - is eligible for both the ‘Plug-In Car’ and ‘Plug-In Van’ Grants, and confirmed that Mia's offerings meet all the safety, reliability, performance and warranty standards necessary for the UK market.
As a result the standard short wheelbase model (mia-U) will retail at approximately £21,000 and the two extended models, the mia L and the mia box van, will both retail at approximately £22,000.
Last month Life On Cars reported on the Mia's local connection - a Southport man is helping UK companies to test the car for possible fleet use in the future.
