Swiss Company Announces New Car That Doesn’t Require a Driver’s License. Delivering 177 km of Range, the Electric Car Without a License Can Reach a Speed of 45 km/h.
The Swiss company Micro, the creator of the cute electric car Microlino, unveiled a lite version of the original model at the Geneva International Motor Show. The version of the model can be driven in some European countries with a moped license from the age of 14 (in Portugal, the limit rises to 16 years), thus making it a car that doesn’t require a driver’s license.
Electric Car That Doesn’t Require a Driver’s License Delivers 177 km of Range
To become a car that doesn’t require a driver’s license, the maximum speed of the model was reduced to 45 km/h, half of the standard Microlino. The company’s idea is to attract the interest of urban dwellers who do not plan to replace their car with another means, but are looking for something more convenient for getting around.
The electric car without a driver’s license has the same monocoque design as its older brother. The dimensions of the model are 2.5 m in length, 1.47 meters in width, and 1.5 m in height. Another advantage is its weight, which, unlike larger electric cars, the car that doesn’t require a driver’s license weighs about 600 kg.

The model can deliver up to 9 kW of power, and its battery has a modest capacity of 5.5 kWh, enough to cover 100 km per charge, or 177 km in the version with a bigger 11 kWh battery. Charging from 0 to 80% takes an average of two hours using a Type 2 charger of 2.2 kW on the entry battery and four hours on the higher capacity version. The two-seater microcar is also equipped with a sunroof and a 230-liter trunk.
Electric Car Without a License Will Be Sold by Subscription
The car that doesn’t require a driver’s license will be developed in Turin, Italy, and will be sold in blue or gray. The basic interior can be customized with vegan leather, velvet seats, side pockets, smartphone holders, and a Bluetooth speaker.
The proposal for the most basic model is to cost less; thus, the electric car without a license will be marketed by subscription at 156 euros, a little over R$ 840 per month at the current exchange rate, in a plan of 5,000 km/year for 48 months.
Pre-orders start this Monday (26), with deliveries beginning at the start of summer, which begins in June in the Old Continent. The company responsible for the model has yet to disclose the list of countries that will receive the small car that doesn’t require a driver’s license. The US is expected to be next on the list. According to a company spokesperson, the model will arrive in the US by the end of this year.
