Green People attends Ecotricity's Nemesis launch

Green People's founder, Charlotte Vøhtz, yesterday attended the sparkling launch of the 'Nemesis', a wind-powered car dreamed up by our sustainability partner Ecotricity.

The Nemesis is a beautiful car described as "exotic and desirable" by Dale Vince, chief executiveof Ecotricity, who commissioned its unique design.


"We wanted to prove electric cars can be quick to develop, beautiful to look at, cheap to run, and run entirely on wind power," Dale said.

The Nemesis is powered by wind-generated electricity and can go further (150 miles between charges) and faster (170mph) than the existing offerings on the market. Next year it will challenge the British electric car land speed record, with any luck taking it into the history books.

Also at the event were ex-racing driver Damon Hill, who is a staunch supporter of sustainable motoring and environmentally friendly vehicles. He is seen here with Dale and the Nemesis.


Krt from Junky Styling, the ethical fashion label which recently featured on "The Apprentice", also attended the unveiling and is seen here with Charlotte:
