Perhaps it was because of a downturn in sales. Or maybe it was an overstreched expansion plan. Whatever the reason, the UK's NICE Car Company went into "administration" last November and since then, owners and prospective electric car buyers have been wondering what the final outcome would be. Well, now we know. Aixam Mega, who supplied NICE with their Mega City (above), has snapped up the company's assets and will continue to run the London sales office. According to the company's UK general manager Lawrence Holland, "We have retained the key sales and service facilities, as well as some personnel, to make the transfer of business as seamless as possible. Mega drivers should be reassured that, from their perspective, it is now 'business as normal' at NICE Car."
What is left out of the press release that awaits you after the jump is the fate of the non-Mega vehicles in the NICE range. You may recall, the Tazzari Zero was to be distributed by them and the MyCar was expected to arrive last December. While we're pretty sure the sporty Tazzari vehicle can find a future home, we suspect this might be the end of the road for some of the others.
