MCI Ready To Take Orders For Its First Electric Coach
The J4500e reaches highway speed and reliability targets in first round of test runs.

More than 40 operators and dealership customers tested the luxury-laden flagship vehicle. Operator feedback was positive, and many said they are considering purchasing the Continental to add to their fleets.

Alliance Limousine (Ardsley, N.Y) President Frank Castro enthused about the Continental. "Very impressed. This could be the car we’ve been waiting for that can help separate us from the TNCs. I am definitely buying one.”
Added Michael Ziotkowski, operations manager, ACES Limousine (Williamsville, N.Y.): “I like the power and it’s a really nice vehicle combined with the price. This could be the vehicle the industry has been craving.”

Event host Dave Bastian, commercial sales manager at Towne Auto, said the Continental received positive reviews from the test drivers, who were impressed with its quality, style and pricing.
The MSRP price for the 500A Livery package ranges from $47,535 to $49,535 depending on FWD or AWD. Check with your dealer for specific pricing on the base vehicle and optional packages.
A 4-year/150,000 mile Extra Care Warranty will be standard on the 500A Livery series.
