In 2010 I decided to import a sports car from the U.K and had spoken to Jonathan. This car was in perfect condition bought to order by one of Malta's finest athletes. The main advantages of owning an electric car is that the yearly road tax is at a fixed price irrespective of the age and power of the car at only 10euro per year!!!

No payment for CVA is charged in Valletta 24/7. The ride is comfortable and throttle response is instant since it’s an electric engine and torque is available straight away the moment you press the accelerator pedal. Driving is so simple and smooth and the steering is effortless since the electric motor is lighter than a normal combustion engine. This model has a 24kwh battery has a real life range of 150km and can be charged up at home using a normal 13amp plug in around 5 to 7 hours depending on the percentage charge of the battery Jonathan did the research required for theses specifications and he found an ex demonstration model which the Nissan Birmingham agent used for customers to test drive the car. The criteria for eligibility to the grant were that the car must not be not more than 24 months registered in UK and not more than 12000km.
