Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

[myglaren]

A Leaf and a Tesla model 3. 21 reg and green stripe.
Only because they were in a car park. Probably missed dozens on my trip to Darlington.

Another magical mystery tour. Satnav is about 12 years old and has never been updated. The place I was heading for wasn't built back then.

21 green flash plated Hyundai Ioniq in dull grey!!

Model 3 taxi in white.

Had to go to Chester-le-Street again. People everywhere. Where do they all come from?

I think I prefer lockdown.

Went out today and had a good day spotting. I saw my first Porsche Taycan with green flashed plates, a Tesla 3, a BMW i3 (roller skate) and 2 leafs (or is it leaves?)

Tesla Model 3 in a nice blue, with roof bars to ruin the aerodynamics, and a thick bright blue cable attaching it to a 7kW charging post. Escaped my wrath because the other side of the charging post was free

Just had a stroll round to the Spar shop for some milk, in the doctors surgery car park a Hyundai Kona hybrid, quite a bit smaller car than I thought it would be.

Tesla Model S in Black charging buddy today, thankfully we were there first, and NCC haven't quite got round to implementing the charging system which noticed displayed would be 35p/kWh from April the 1st. Still a free vend on the rapid chargers as of today.

Usual Leafs, and spotted an oncoming "green flash" but didn't identify the car. Not for the first time. Attention gets drawn by the green stripe and deflects from my normal fairly reliable ID'ing of the car. It wasn't one of the normals.
I suspect a Hyundai Kona or KIA e-Niro.

Plus a white one just delivered the neighbour's evening meal

BMW i3 and a BMW iZ I think it was. Had the same colour scheme as the i3 but looked like an Audi R8!!
Looking at the BMW pics it was like an i8 with green flashes on the plates,

That second BMW was probably an i8.

I was going to ask if it was a BMW i8 which is/was a plug in hybrid up to 2020. Can't say I've heard of the iZ although it could well be the next in sequence as there is an iX.

The I8 shouldn't really qualify for for the green strips as it isnt zero emission at the tailpipe.

The iX is just on the market at the register your interest stage, and is a particularly striking beast in not a good way.


It does have a hexagonal steering wheel though...

[mickthemaverick]

it certainly had the shape of the i8 but the badge on the back looked like iz although the Z did look a bit odd. Maybe it has been converted from the hybrid and then gained the green plates?
