The Microlino runs purely on electricity from lithium-ion packs in three sizes. Claimed energy use sits near 6-7 kWh/100 km under WMTC testing. Charge via household socket or Type 2 at up to 2.2 kW. 0-80% takes 2-5.5 hours depending on pack. No DC fast charging.
Servicing follows a simple schedule of once a year or 10,000 km, whichever comes first. A two-year unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty applies from handover or first registration. Battery cover extends to six years on some records. Disconnect the 12 V supply for storage longer than two weeks.
Safety centres on the first unibody steel-and-aluminium cell in the L7e class plus crash bars and full disc brakes. Three-point belts with a driver warning are fitted. Airbags, ABS and ESP are absent as they are not required for the category. Independent handling tests note body roll control but limited high-speed stability. No child seats or ISOFIX are supported.
Living with the car means low running costs from light weight and electric drive, plus easy urban parking via the front door. Keep tyre pressures at 1.8 bar and check wheel-bolt torque. The enclosed cabin shields from weather better than open microcars.
