The NICE Car Company is working with Italian company Tazzari to sell a new electric car called the Tazzari ZERO in the British market. The car is said to have been designed and developed in Italy and is constantly referred to as “all-Italian” in the press material – Tazzari is obviously hoping to inject some excitement into what is actually something small, easy to maneuver, clean and efficient.
You know how people are with Italian automobiles – they can be the worse trashcans with wheels on the road but you automatically forgive them and love them because they are built with “passion” and somehow exude a certain feel-good aura.
Back to the Tazzari ZERO – it’s essentially a little 2-door 2-seater small car that runs on an electric motor and lithium ion batteries. It looks pretty much like the NICE MyCar with slightly different styling. Thanks to its recyclable aluminium chassis it only weighs 542kg. It can go up to 150km on a full charge and charging up takes 45 minutes. No raw performance numbers for the electric motor but it can go up to 50km/h in 4.5 seconds, up to a 90km/h top speed.
Yes, this is definitely a city car… or a countryside car at best.
Look after the jump for two more shots of the Tazzari ZERO.

Everyone is playing on the electric car nowdays. Money instead going to Shell, BHP, Petronas. Now all goes to TNB. Wow! A great deal for TNB.
This is a great example of a recipe for disaster… Letting the italians play with electricity (Lancias, alfas, lamborghinis and ferraris anyone?). That car wont move past 2 kilometers before ending up in a cloud of smoke.
funny but to be honest, electric cars will be commercial like another 50 years.
fugly
Internal combustion is inefficient ..we all know that..
Internal combustion is polluting .. we all know that but keep using it and delaying because oil is cheap…
Necessity is the mother of all invention ..
When the oil shot up to US149 a barrel, that when everyone start looking into electric cars…
Someone has developed a cheap and efficient way in solar nanotechnology to harvest the energy (saw in Discovery channel ..)..very soon the desert will be sought after..
524kg? that is light……..
Btw this car is ugly…….
Bloody ugly toy car… :S
Downgrading italian car design standard..
When you say internal combustion is inefficient, lets have a different point of view.
Ignition combustion and compression combustion is many times more efficient then then early steam engines.
100 years ago, people invented ignition combustion engine and found it to be extremely fuel efficient and easy to use then steam engine, unbeatable range then electric motor, and hence its took off until today.
If this is italian than i’m spanish…electric cars have no passion
Wonder why all these electric upstarts all have one thing in common. If you can design something from the ground up, why make it ugly?
Model rendering is rough…like something I did with Lightwave 3D many many many moons ago.
not fugly, it’s the worst rendered photo..dang..
u’re right with tnb, tat’s y the tarrif is increasing..
Our G is the best G in the world, they can forecast the future for the best of their pocket..BEst monetary forecast in the world..
the design is fugly, the rendering is fugly too.
ZZzzzzzzz……… XD
if its a toy car, i definitely run over it with my car. many times.
this car reminds me of forklift…
give it a break, it’s an italian!~ what’s more can yo expect from them in electric technologies
awful
yeah this car thats cool, but two things i think it should have a little more top speed, (about 120km/h) and spcially the price, coz this type of cars are now too expensive, id buy it but with an economic price
