Mia Electric sold only 800 electric vehicles in Europe in 2012
- Mia Electric (whose factory is located in Cerizay, France, the former Heuliez plant) has not found its clientele in 2012. While it intended to sell 12,000 vehicles last year, the manufacturer sold only 800 ones, half in France. "The electric car market has not developed as quickly as we thought," says Mr. Lawrence Buffeteau, CEO of the company.
- Despite these poor results, Mia Electric believes in the future of his vehicle. The company even started the year well , having just signed a contract with UGAP (central purchasing the French public function) for the purchase of 500 vehicles over three years.
- Mia Electric also hopes to conquer new markets. The company wants to expand in Norway, whose electric vehicle fleet is the most developed in Europe (this specificity dates back to the electric “Think“ model that had been produced for several years in this country), but also in European southern countries (Italy, Greece, Turkey) .
- In order to make the vehicle more versatile, Mia Electric is also working to develop a hydrogen fueled Mia version (??!!). Autonomy would reach nearly 500 km, against only 125 km in the electric version. This project is at an early development stage.
