The GTA MyCar (styled MyCar) is an electric vehicle originally produced by EuAuto Technology based in Hong Kong, and from 2010 by GreenTech Automotive (GTA) when it acquired EuAuto. The company's manufacturing facility was in Dongguan, China. The MyCar is classified as a NEV in the United States due to its low top speed. Manufacturing ended in 2017^[1] and GTA declared bankruptcy in 2018.

The car was first conceived by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign in 2003. The propulsion system was engineered in co-operation with Hong Kong Polytechnic University.^[2][3][4]

In 2010, GreenTech Automotive, Inc. bought EuAuto Technology, Ltd., and announced plans to manufacture and market vehicles in the United States.^[5]

The first U.S. manufactured MyCar vehicles, which were also supposed be exported to Denmark, were supposed to come off the assembly line in Horn Lake, Mississippi, on 4 July 2011.^[6] As of August 2013, GreenTech Automotive had not disclosed any sales figures, but was promising production of 30,000 vehicles annually in 2014.^[7] Subsequently, the company broke ground on a new plant in Tunica, Mississippi, at the start of 2014.^[8]

The UK was the first market to sell the MyCar, through EV Stores in 2009.^[10] France followed soon after, with Monaco-based Newteon handling distribution. Late in 2009 Meco World was announced as the distributor for Austria. EU Auto announced in October that the car had been approved for use in Hong Kong and that sales were to begin in the home market of the car.

Production of the MyCar in the United States was scheduled to begin in the first part of 2011. The base price for the first 100,000 units was announced as $10,000 US. By 2014, the MyCar was still not on sale in the US market and a list price of US$15,500 was being discussed.^{[8][needs update]}
