Isle of Wight goes green

THE ISLE OF WIGHT has turned a deeper shade of green thanks to the arrival of a fleet of 15 Renault Twizys, available for hire from £49 a day. 

Already promoting itself as Bicycle Island, the #IsleofWight has come-up with a range of eco-friendly and sustainable modes of transport for its ‘drive less, see more’ campaign.

The Renault Twizy is the latest of these. An electric-powered two-seater, it accelerates from 0-30mph in four-and-a-half seconds and has a range of approximately 50 miles. There are 12 charging points across the island.

The fleet is currently lined-up at the Red Jet Hi-Speed ferry terminal in Cowes. They are for hire by people who are a) over 21 and b) have a driving licence.

Don't take a large picnic basket, however. Once a passenger has settled into the back, there's just enough room for a couple of small bags and a compact camera.
