Mycar

A Innovech MyCar at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Mycar is an electric vehicle originally produced by EuAuto Technology Limited based in Hong Kong. The company had its manufacturing facility in Dongguan, China.

The MyCar was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. The propulsion system was engineered in cooperation with Hong Kong Polytechnic University.^{[1] [2] [3]}

In 2010, GreenTech Automotive, Inc. bought EuAuto Technology, Ltd., and plans to manufacture and market the vehicles in the United States.^[4] The first U.S. manufactured Mycar vehicles, which will be exported to Denmark, are to come off the assembly line in Horn Lake, Mississippi on July 4, 2011. The first 10,000 units will be sold at a discounted price of $10,000, before any government rebates or tax credits.^[5] The Mycar may possibly be classified as an NEV in the United States due to its low top speed.
