  • @Blauweraaf yes, but that doesn't include the batteries

  • how is that fair? 1 litre full of fuel in the engine powered cars vs a whole charge on the g wiz batteries. internal combustion engines have greater power and energy densities no matter how you look at them. unless a miracle happens in the battery industry, I will stick to internal combustion.

  • the g-wiz is awful, i would rather have a bicycle

  • SideDriver. Drive allways.

  • G-wiz? No way

  • I'm not convinced by this test. Stacking a G-Wiz up against an ancient Merc and two high powered cars just doesn't give a reasonable comparison, not to mention that the tests are questionable at best. There may be a conclusive proof out there for the use of one or more of these technologies but this isn't it, IMHO.

  • i would rather die then driving a electric car

  • i love my 41 year old gas powered vehicle :D if our cars aren't allowed to emit carbon... then we shouldn't even be breathing. relax i'm just feeding the plants!

  • @ElSambrero

    It emits CO (carbon monoxide) which we don't breathe out.

  • want to know whats slow and steady....a bicycle.....wonder how far lance armstrong would get with 1lb worth of potato.

  • i will walk anywhere before i drive an electric vehicle of any kind

  • While the west makes fancy prototype electric cars the Indians make affordable and drivable cars like the G-wiz, REVA NXG,NXR.. The TATA Nano Hybrid, TATA EVs and so on. Not even the Chinese are so innovative when it comes to serving the masses. :P

  • internal combustion forever

  • THE G-WHIZZ IS SHIT AND WHOEVER BUYS ONE DESERVES TO BE SEVERLY BEATEN TO GET SOME SENSE IN TO THEIR HEAD

  • Knock off of mythbusters somehow?

  • Not to mention the Reva is imported from India...

  • @ThatKidKnows

    Yeah, and they are making their new models that are much better than the G-WHIZ. They are the NXR and NXG.

    youtube (dot) com/watch?v=WQrROlZsXcY

  • They should re-do that test with a family of four and luggage. Or at any normal A-road or motorway speed. Or with lights and heaters on. Or on the way back. Or.....

    Come on.

    That G-wiz is nothing more than a plastic piece of dangerous junk. It's not well designed or thought out. It's just cheap hippie transport.

  • misleading and shame

  • ''electric car engines usually don't produce so much power''.... as they took the worse one in the market to challenge mercedes and others super cars.... Electric engines are more efficent than any other kind of engines by far.... try to debunk this !

  • @Blauweraaf

    and you still missed it- 'produce that much power', they're not talking about size, its about power. you gave two examples and in case you didnt realise, there have been more than 2 petrol engines developed... and a train engine is bigger than any car engine, to your TGV.

  • @Blauweraaf

    wow, he said it, then you wrote it and still somehow missed it... 'generally'

  • there are plenty electrics that would win BOTH tests. this is misleading. shame.

  • I like electric cars but the GWiz is a shit and ugly car

  • Check for the 2 new models..they are sweet

  • Stupid test

  • totally cool test.

  • What a complete and utter con.

    The cost of fuel is artificially inflated due to tax - without tax, they could buy about three litres of fuel for a pound, which would get all cars shown further the G-Wiz. The cost of cooking oil is a lie too - used cooking from restaurants can be filtered, and it can be obtained for free, as restaurants have to pay to get rid of it.

  • imagine how much juice you would have to produce from power stations if everybody had an electric car. they really need to make hydrogen fuel cell technology cheaper though

  • the think city is better than the g wiz

  • Honda already got this piece of shit beat.

    Honda FCX Clarity. runs on pure hydro cells and is basically a 4 door civic with somehwere around 140 HP and gets 278 miles per tank. just that we need more hydro filling station :/

  • those gwiz's suck. honda insight FTW

  • ya ya , i think speeed is not just the issue but  the car's life is an important thing

  • g wiz is gay!

  • how much does it cost for per / charge on the electric car?

  • Well Tesla is the best of both World Now!

  • the G wiz is appalling!

  • Eh? If you compare the coffe content of a cup of chocko-coffe with a cup of coffe the cup of coffe will "win". what a stupid "test".

  • The GWiz kills the 'green' twat driving it in a horrible, grusome way.

    I see no problems.

  • EV IS THE FUTURE !

  • g-wiz is shit get a bmw m5

  • i think the G-WIZ is good for a first car and to save abit of cash at the same time. you only get what you paid for really if you want a safe G-WIZ then buy the G-WIZ AD...nuff said

  • Electric cars will most likely dominate the market starting in about 2010. The G-Wiz is a poor example. I've had a ride in a very fast electric car, the X1 prototype, and it reaches 60mph in a mere 3 seconds!

    Once it's available, I'll probably buy the Zap-X Crossover made by Zap Motors. 350 miles on a single charge, and costs about one cent per mile to drive. It also reaches 60mph in 4.9 seconds!

  • me if i would want to save the world i would buy a diesel cause it is better than electric and gas.but i do not want to save the world so i got myself a bmw 850csi(that is the v12 one)and it dose 15 mpg.

  • lol look at the g wiz in the race hahaha

  • I understand that Reva is not a car that wins over everyone. if any manufacturer could try and create more affordable, economical and non polluting vehicles, it would be fantastic. Reva showed this possibility, something that the biggest car makers in the world did not. There are companies today that are working on advanced electric technologies. Hopefully, we'll have more electric cars to choose from tomorrow. Till then,I think every effort in that direction needs encouragement.

  • I'd go for the Civic.

  • Yea, why didn't they just use a Tesla Roadster to represent the electric car scene??? Hmm sounds fishy to me.

  • Because the Telsa has 2 seats, and is a sports car. the G-Wiz has 4 seats, (2 microscopic rear seats) and is not a sports car.

  • Whatta unfair competition. Several small cars with 50cc or little bigger engine are build with same size of G-Wiz and I am sure they have same economy.

    Electric cars technology is same old as gasoline cars one and problems have not changed -- still the main problem is ancient batteries.

  • the G-wiz is the most useless car watch the crash test a 30mph and the driver would die. i think that the g-wiz is useless. sorry!! but its true.

  • they forgot to do safety and crash tests. that's a very important thing when you want to review cars.

    anyway the g wiz would have been smashed to pieces at any speed above 40mph

  • top gear crashed one into a table at top speed and g-wiz was destroyed and table was cliped ........

  • this is to me nothing more than another of the auto/oil industry's attempt to savage electric cars. there seems to be an understanding that all EV's are insanely ugly and terribly inefficient. combine this with the insane costs of viable ones, and we see why hobbyists build/convert much better EV's

  • I am sure you can design and sell a fast electric car that can at least do 120 mph and can carry 4 people comfortably and look really good, that GWIZZ is nothing more than a piece of shit , badly designed and badly made

  • Gwiz is a commuter quadracycle, not made to replace a car at all. Stop comparing it to one.

  • actually your right I will stop comparing it even to a commuter quadracycle, as I am sure a better quadracycle could be designed than that thing

  • LOL! yup probably.

  • @DerVampyrEngel

    Dude, REVA is releasing the REVA NXR this year. It is not a failure. It is quite nice and cheap too.

    youtube (dot) com/watch?v=WQrROlZsXcY

  • @wiigamer136 WHAT ??????????????? who was talking about the REVA (although I not too hot about that either) I was talking about that lump of diahoreah shitty GWHIZZ, can't even take 4 people properly and yeah I do reckon I could design a better car than that

  • @wiigamer136 Shit I was thinking about a different REVA this piece of shit is a REVA too? I tell you what though I will put my money where my mouth is and design you a better looking car if you want if your the manufacturer

  • @DerVampyrEngel

    I agree that the NXR and NXG should look better from the outside. From the interior, it is great. Did you see the video?

  • @wiigamer136 hang on

  • @DerVampyrEngel

    alright, i'll wait.

  • @wiigamer136 Well the newer one looks better but I could still improve on it a bit

  • @DerVampyrEngel

    Yeah, I agree.

  • The G-wiz is very slow and unsafe. watch top gear G-wiz

  • So is a 50cc scooter. What's your point?

  • People are talking about the G wiz as if its the future of cars.

  • it isnt..but its a step towards that idea. G-Wiz has its problems but so did the first ICE cars with regard to safety/range/power etc. If they compared the safety of the G-Wiz to the saftey of some of the first commercially viable ICE cars im sure the G-Wiz would win.

    Its 1stGEN...wait for 2nd or 3rdGEN. Th!nk is 1.5GEN. The EV1 was 1.5GEN even though it was so old.

    G-Wiz is thee most popular selling electric car...ever! But it wont stay that way.

    Wait 4 2nd GEN.

  • i would kill my self then get a g wiz

  • or you could get and kill yourself by crashing it to a table set up on its side look at the top gear video g-wiz vs table =P i would buy a table its faster and stronger =D and safer xD

  • This shit is freaking gay, I would rather put an electric drill motor on a roller skate!!!

  • And here I was almost certain that the EV1 had a max range of less than 80 miles per charge. The EV1 and the GWiz are what killed the electric car.

  • 100mph on NiMH, high top speed about 130 I think. Th!nk is on LiFePo4 batteries and is 65mph top speed and 100 mph range. seriously who needs to drive 100miles in one day? If you do you deserve a congestion charge of 25 GBP

  • I need to cover much more than that when I go on a road trip for vacation or business and much of the time I'll be going 65 mph or faster. I need the performance and range of a real car, not these oversized toys.

  • I don't understand how the g-wiz won the endurance race. The diesel merc or the hybrid probably had the best mpg ratings and should have destroyed the g-wiz. I would buy the diesel mercedes or the hybrid over any of those other dumb cars. Ethanol is only cheaper than unleaded when the government subsidies it and is has about half the potential energy of an equal volume of gasoline or diesel.

  • You get an equivalent of 600 mpg on a Gwiz considering fuel costs vs. electric costs. That's why.

  • Why dont we get that cool looking Civic in the States rather than the one thats already here? I mean, its ok, it looks pretty good; but the one in the vid looks hot. Kinda sucks.

  • wanker

  • the g-wiz that is..

  • Im not impressed. Hell, I use energizer batteries at night. If its that bad, run it on 200 C volt batteries

  • the smart runs on a 2.3l four cylnder i call it a dumb

  • As an electric car, the G-Wiz sucks... but the "Smart" does a very great job !

  • Gwiz is the little shit car that would just.... embarassing for ANY one to drive.....

  • Ok yes it is cheeper but if you charge it every night and then again at work it will add up the costs. How do you think electricity comes from? from burning coal or rods of uranium that are a lot worse then something like a civic hybrid and if a Lexus LS 600h it is certianly a lot faster, safer, and more comfortable and your still saving the planet.

  • you could use solar

  • You'd be charging it every night, if you drive a fair distance to work you'd be charging it there, using energy which is produced for the most part by burning coal, ruining the ozone. It's really not good at all.

  • 48 kilometers on a full charge. thats pathetic there are days where i do a shopping run and do more kilometers and the trunk can barely hold a case of pop, and even if it could it would probobly bring down the battery life down more. Face the fact all G-Wiz lovers that that thing is a disgrace to all cars. and anyone who buys it is a retard

  • replace them with LiFePO4 batteries then you would ge about 600-800km to the charge! LOL

    you could probably go over 40mph too!!!

    you could probably even go over a hump bridge. Carful not to bang your head!

    the battery would probably cost more than the car though!! LOL!

  • all of these types of enerygy suck - companies should use fuel cells

  • Fuel Cells are a HORRIBLE idea. Hydrogen is a BOMB. It doesn't burn, like Gasoline does. It EXPLODES. Furthermore, the amount of energy it takes to create hydrogen, with no energy loss, is PRECISELY the same as you'd get from burning it. As it is, there's incredible energy waste. It's a terrible thing to do with electricity, making hydrogen.

    As for the G-Wiz... Haha, I can't even call that a car. It's a giant RC toy, minus the fun.

  • krelus your a fucking retard, you get %50 effience from hydrogen fuel cells, u only get %25 from gas. The Space Shuttle uses Hydrogen fuel cells

  • Those hydrogen fuel cells on the shuttle look alot like big friggen' rockets.

  • electric cars haven't just been around for decades but over a century.

  • It is british programe and it seems the TESLA is only for USA

    But britains fuel is very heavily taxed as its close to 12 dollers a gallon so its 80% tax on that

  • You sir, are a silly goose.

  • Just wait for Tesla Roadster.

  • To be honest the GWiz is a waste of money. Sure it's cheap to use, while probably not buy, and is 'eco friendly'. But so isn't walking. Or using a bicycle.

    I fail to see how an electric car that can't go fast, can't go far, and can't hold more than two people, is of any use to the every day person.

    especially since I bet it can't handle people that aren't small twigs of a thing. My dad's 6 feet tall, could he fit comfortably in that?

    I don't think so :/

    So this just proves, walk or bike

  • Dont think i would walk or bike 15 miles

    Its only for second car and in slow moving traffic London etc

  • 48 km.

    So you can't take the G-Wiz more than 24km away from your house.

    What an adventurous life you'll lead with one of those.

  • The problem with that last test they did is that, while the other cars will only take a few minutes at a pump to refuel, when that G-Wiz runs out it'll take eight HOURS to charge back up again. It may be inexpensive to charge up, but time is money, and most people can't afford to be stranded for eight hours every forty kilometers or so.

  • i dont know why people dont just get motor bikes

    im getting a moped i would get probly over 100 miles to a galon thats amazing 1 fillup all week

  • rain..

  • yeah one but you can still ride in the rain but dont take corners too fast or yourl fall of but thats it

  • You cant put that much shopping in a bike

  • how stupid are people... how do 'enviromentalists' believe we recharge the car? by burning fossil fuels meaning they are worse than normal cars lol

  • even fossil fuel power plants are far more efficient that than petrol vehicles. Let alone the fact that power is also produced by other zero emission sources. ie wind, hydro, solar and even nuclear. . .

  • actually you can use wind power to turn mills that create electricity

  • Viki does everthing in Britain form TOp Gear to Dicovery channel to the dreadful Fifth Gear.

  • i rather walk

  • this car are a piss of shit..

  • even as we speak, japan is and already kicked america in the anus when it comes to cars and electronics. i was laughing at fat, lazy, stupid american pigs when i saw so many shitty yank tank manufacturing plants closing down...chrysler (and mercedes breaking the merge with chrysler) lol, and FORD (found on road dead...lmao) and CHEVROLET (cheap hardly efficient virtually runs on luck every time) struggling HEHEHE...more to come! GO JAPAN!!!

  • haxmuch,trogodo, you fuckers are pathetic loser white boys with no substance. india invented mathematics, 1st hospital (ayurvedic), 1st school, etc before the greeks copied from the arabs who copied from us. we will rise again. you can laugh and make jokes but companies: bose, sandisk, hotmail, sun microsystems, hdtv, pentium processor were all started by indians. just go play with your sisters pussy in your trailer park, you redneck piece of texas hillbilly shit!

  • YEAH!!!

  • top gear rip off. i loved wut clarkson did to the gwiz :)

  • The G-Wiz sucks, that's for sure.

  • I really wanted to tell a telemarketer joke about that comment, but i couldnt think of one..

  • just laugh at them...
