Electric microvehicle from Mia with an 830 kg kerb weight, a top speed of 91 km/h and a length of only 3,190 mm for short inner-city trips
Mia was a French brand of electrically powered microvehicles designed for short trips in city traffic. The vehicles were notable for a very compact body and a battery-electric drivetrain without a combustion engine.

The vehicle weighs 830 kg unladen and, at a gross vehicle weight of 1,187 kg, can carry 357 kg, enough for one or two people plus luggage. At only 3,190 mm long, 1,650 mm wide and with a 2,240 mm wheelbase, it is among the shortest vehicles covered here; an electric drivetrain without a combustion engine allows a space-saving design, since neither a radiator nor an exhaust system needs to be fitted. The top speed of 91 km/h is enough for urban and rural roads but not for sustained motorway driving.
Electric vehicles of this size are tailored to short inner-city trips, where the limited range of small batteries matters less than on long journeys. The low top speed and compact dimensions make parking and turning easier on narrow streets, but noticeably limit use outside the city.
When buying a used battery-electric microvehicle of this kind, the condition of the traction battery comes first: charge cycles and actual remaining range should be checked before purchase, since replacing the battery in a small city car can be hard to justify economically. The charging plug, charging cable and the body seals around the compact door cut-outs also deserve a close look.
