The Hypermini was a new take on the electric car: an urban commuter vehicle built for two. Stylish and distinctive, it appeared in Hollywood movies like “Sleepover” and “The Princess Diaries 2.” A neodymium magnet synchronous traction motor delivered a zippy 100 kph at top speed and up to 115 km of range on a single charge.
The Hypermini received the New Energy Grand Prize from Japan’s New Energy Foundation and a Good Design award from the Japan Institute for Design Promotion. An innovative keyless entry system also made it the vehicle of choice for car-sharing pilot projects from Yokohama to the University of California, Davis.
