Looking for another electric vehicle option? The Tazzari Group will soon deliver its new ZERO car with a distribution network already present in all major European countries and in the US.
If you don’t know the name Tazzari, it actually comprises several companies that operate primarily in engineering and aluminium casting. The ZERO, for example has a chassis that is a combination of structural castings and aluminium profiles, while the two-door saloon car itself weighs 882lbs without batteries – adding the pack increases the weight to 1,195lbs.
The vehicle made its debut at the Bologna Motor Show over the weekend and features a 150Nm rear-wheel drive three-phase asynchronous motor. It is powered by a lithium-iron phosphate battery pack and has an estimated electricity consumption of 0.135kW/h per km. Its range in economy drive is 87 miles and it is can accelerate to 31mph in less than five seconds with a top speed of 56mph.
The Tazzari ZERO has four driving modes: race for maximum power; economy which makes the most of the electric charge for a range of potentially 140km; standard, which offers a balance between performance and range; and rain, for adverse conditions.
It features a standard 220V charger with a pack that can be recharged in nine hours. It has an optional 220V Multi-fast charger with three charging speeds that can replenish the pack in five, nine or 14 hours. Also available is an optional 380V Superfast charger that can recharge the pack to 80 per cent in just 50 minutes.
