Another Tesla S. I thought for a few seconds that it and the Civic were about to become intimately entwined as he didn't look as though he was going to stop at the roundabout that I was on.
did in the end but over the line.

There was a quite pretty Honda e-HEV in a pastel blue main colour parked in the disabled bay at the local Co-op but it had moved before I could get the camera out
One of these I think.

The Honda is definitely my favourite interior design of all the small EV's. Properly integrating the screens into the dash rather than hanging them on a bracket is so much better in my view. If it gets to a 200+ mile range as battery technology develops I could well go for one to replace the MX3 rather than convert it as is still my current intention!! :-D
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Unbadged so was perplexed until I spotted the Audi logo on the wheels. :oops:
There was no doubt the it was not electric when it started up, very agricultural diesel.

Loads today, too numerous to say and many forgotten, loads of Audis, BMWs (i3s) VW ID4s, Hyundais, Teslas and my first MG, an estate. Mostly on the A1 to and from Teesside.
Never seen so many, mostly flagged by the green flash

A static Leaf and Ioniq 5.
A mobile Leaf, three Teslas, an MG, possibly the same one as before, and Kia.

I was passed by this yesterday and thought it was an R8 but the green flag on the reg plate got me searching.

London seems the place for electric spotting as the ULEZ charge is crippling. I've seen countless Tesla's and IQs, a Mercedes E Sprinter and a DHL lorry! The lorry really surprised me.
