The Microlino Has a 56 MPH Top Speed, a 2.3 kW Charge Rate, and Barely Made It to London

The Microlino is a Swiss-made electric quadricycle that seats two, opens like a fridge, and costs £25,370 in its largest battery configuration. That 15 kWh pack carries a 140-mile WLTP claim, but the Auto Trader reviewer ran nearly out of charge on a February run from Bedfordshire to London after taking it flat out on the M1 motorway. Top speed is 56 mph, charging is AC-only at 2.3 kW, and the car weighs just over 600 kg. It eventually rolled into the Auto Trader offices in Covent Garden on what appeared to be the very last electrons in the pack. The entry 5.5 kWh model is limited to 28 mph and claims 58 miles. The mid-spec 10.5 kWh version is rated at just over 100 miles.
