Models
[edit]Mega e-City
[edit]Developed in collaboration with NICE,[9] the electric Mega e-City was first shown at the 2006 British International Motor Show,[10] and has been produced by Aixam since March 2007. Until the end of 2008, it was built exclusively for the London market as a right-hand drive vehicle. The maximum speed is 64 km/h (40 mph), with a range of 60–80 km (37–50 mi).
Since the end of 2010, the Mega e-City has also been available with a lithium-ion battery. Having the same top speed, the range was increased to 100 km (62 mi).[11][12] The price of the model in Germany fell from €16,000 gross to less than €15,000 between 2010 and 2020.[13]
Electric variants of the Aixam Pro commercial vehicle range are also available.[14]
