The Tazzari Zero: Not So Zero In My Book

Tazzari Zero

I normally don’t like so-called “micro” vehicles and I especially despise “commuter” vehicles. These are usually one-in-the-same and are generally some of the worst perpetrators of ugly design and lame looks in the EV market. While the Tazzari Zero may not be a real looker, it’s much better than average and hopefully is part of a new trend.

This little car has a top speed of 56mph and has a range of about 93 miles per charge. It’s a pure-electric. The website for this car is pretty low on detail and high on style. They’re Italian, so I guess that’s understandable, Italy being the home of Gucci and all.

A video of the prototype for this one makes it look pretty good, though. The guy definitely doesn’t hold back on the throttle. I suspect he’s seen “Fast and Furious” one too many times.

For a car that does 0-31 in 5 seconds (that’s about 9 seconds 0-60), this video manages to make it look downright zippy.
