Myers Motors NmG


The Myers Motors NmG was a single-passenger, three-wheeled, battery electric vehicle designed specifically for commuting and city driving, produced from 1999 into the early 2010s. It was initially produced by Corbin Motors, and subsequently after 2005, by Myers Motors. It is a personal electric vehicle.

Description

The Sparrow is powered by a 20 kW 156-volt DC or 3-phase AC electric motor and has a range of 32 to 64 km and a top speed of 112 km/h. Fuel efficiency is approximately 130 W·h/km, which is equivalent to 162 mpg or 194 mpg using the DOE conversion.
Two models were produced: the original "jelly bean" model and then a hatchback model, which was nicknamed "pizza butt" because it was designed for use by Domino's Pizza. Several Sparrows were featured in the feature films Austin Powers in Goldmember and Looper.
In June 2008, the website listed a price of $29,995 without taxes or shipping. In 2009, the NmG began to use lithium batteries which Myers Motors claims doubled its driving range to between charges.

Electrical system

The Sparrow electrical system in a Corbin Sparrow VIN28 is composed of three isolated sections. "Defanging" is the process of changing the circuit to disconnect the high voltage from the low voltage.
;Line voltage : 110 / 220 V AC
;High voltage : 156 V DC
;Low voltage : 13.5 V DC
