The Hypergreen was a green vehicle that was parked next to a Honda Fireblade motorcycle in the headquarters of A Charitable Earth. It was the prototype of a start-up in Malaysia funded by A Charitable Earth, and Ace described it as 'her pride and joy'.
It looked like a classic sports car, with green paintwork, and could go from zero to ninety miles an hour in three seconds. It was a fully electric vehicle which charged wirelessly through a pad that it parked over and moved almost silently. The battery was solid-state and water-cooled, and when fully charged, the Hypergreen could run for around 400 miles.
It had a docking slot for a phone on the dashboard, which when filled showed a 'Hands Free' notification on the screen above the speedometer. This function could be used to call people using spoken commands. Although the boot was 'tiny', it was big enough to hold the Squidget's travel casing.
In January 2020, Dorothy McShane drove from the headquarters of A Charitable Earth to Chantelle's flat, driving along the Thames and up through Covent Garden and onto the Westway, to pick up the Squidget from Kirkwood Farm, and then to the British Space Defence Centre in Devesham, going over 90 miles per hour as she did. When she arrived, the security guard and Will Buckland were visibly impressed by it. (PROSE: At Childhood's End)
