The Electric Car Corporation plc operated as a manufacturer and distributor of electric cars, with its headquarters located in Mayfair, London and its production facility situated in Flitwick, Bedfordshire. The company specialized in the Citroën C1 ev'ie, an electrified version of the Citroën C1. This model was introduced on 30 April 2009 and was priced at £16,850 (equivalent to $24,989 US). The corporation discontinued its activities and was formally dissolved in 2012.
Their commercial approach entailed acquiring complete vehicles, removing elements such as the petrol engine and gearbox, which were then sold to automotive dealers to help reduce the overall acquisition expense.
