On Top Gear, Porsche Taycan Turbo S (Yes, the Turbo S bit was discussed). Not exactly slow (either to 120MP/H or to charge when hit with a 275KW/H charger).

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Todays charging companion, not the 100% BEV the KIA e-Niro but
The KIA Niro Eco Plug-in. Yes a hybrid. Here is the KIA league table of electricness.
You will see that the Self-Charging Hybrid, and the Mild Hybrid have an "all electric" range of precisely Zero

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Nice work Mick, the KIA e-Soul, maybe it’s debut on the spotting thread.
Edit quick check in the archives and it appears 3 forum heavyweights have declared sightings, mandrake, Richard W, and Zelandeth....but..photographs trump all of that of course

Just wait until Hyundai are tempted to set up their first factory in the UK to beef up the EV revolution, they will be all over the placeGibbo2286 wrote: 14 Feb 2020, 18:19 A first for me a Hyundai Ionic electric, followed it for a couple of miles.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Did the Ioniq have the fully blanked off grill ?
If not it was either a hybrid or ICE. I see far more Ioniq hybrids than I do the BEV version with the blanked off grill.
