Wheego Electric Cars, a U.S. manufacturer of all-electric vehicles, announced that the former Hummer dealer Nimnicht Family of Dealerships in Jacksonville, Florida will represent the Wheego line of electric vehicles.

Wheego National Sales Manager Ken Wambold welcomes the new dealer. “The location and facility are perfect for our company. The showroom formerly displayed Hummers, and we think this evolution to a green, eco-friendly product and a new technology will serve the Jacksonville market well. The Nimnicht name is highly respected in Florida, and rightfully so. The Nimnichts are the number one Chevy, Buick and GMC dealer in the greater Jacksonville area, and consistently receive top marks in customer satisfaction surveys.”

The new Nimnicht dealership, Wheego of Jacksonville, is located at 11491 Philips Highway in Jacksonville. Wheego of Jacksonville will carry both the full-speed Wheego LiFe and a low-speed vehicle, the Wheego Whip. Wheego of Jacksonville will display the Wheego vehicles at the Jacksonville International Car & Truck Show on February8-10, 2013.

The Wheego LiFe is an all-electric, two-seat subcompact car with fit, finish and features designed for today’s environmentally-conscious commuters. The LiFe comes fully-equipped with driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes, power windows and locks, and optional air conditioning. The 115V lithium battery pack can be charged from a standard 120V outlet, a 240V outlet or any of the J1772 standard charging stations being installed in public locations throughout the United States. The LiFe travels approximately 100 miles on a single charge. It is available in red, white, blue, black, silver, and green. Starting at $32,995, the LiFe qualifies for a $7500 Federal tax credit. In Florida, the LiFe qualifies to be driven solo in the HOV lane with a special decal.
