And another i3 (black) on the way home. Still to see a C-Zero/Ion/ Mitsi thingy, or (knowingly) a Kia Soul. Are there any others?

Popped into drop something off to my godson today and saw a house with 2 leafs parked in the driveway (do 2 leafs make them a 'branch' of leafs??), not just the 2, there was also a quashqi - no idea how it's spelt! All in the same dark grey colour, think someone likes grey nissans a bit too much!

Bit earlier in the thread it was revealed that the Renault Zoe is available in three shades of grey!

Now I like a name, and a random link, and a potential misspelling but one of the greys did intrigue me. "YTRIUM" grey as Renault have chosen to spell or miss spell as the case may be. Who knew it was an Element, and the place where it was discovered also contributed to the names of 3 further elements, and if you actually venture to go there there is a plaque which says as much!

Fascinating or what?

The something parked next door last night and has just been here again, a Dacia of some description and the blue grill is indicative of absolutely nothing.

We have an awful lot of Dacia Dusters around here now, the local Nissan dealer (Five Acres Garage) took on the franchise and seems to be selling them like hot cakes, can't say if there's anything electric among them though.

Haven't found any current factory offerings on the 100% electric front from DACIA, but their parent company is Renault, and DACIA is the smart-price, value, everyday, M-savers brand, so the "budget" electric car could well be a DACIA brand. Carlos Ghosn hinted at such back in 2013

More recently he expressed this view

Been to Whitby today and for the first time since 1978 I wasn't driving, so had an opportunity to look out for car spots
