Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

Unread post by **myglaren** » 04 Oct 2022, 10:43

A Toyota somethingorother just drove past, green flash a "LOW CARBON" plastered all over it.

And an Amazon electric van, parked crosswise over four parking places and still half on the road, drivers door wide open while he wandered off for ten minutes to deliver a parcel.

Three Tesla 'S's, a M 3 & an X, and a black Lupo-like thing.

Only a parked Audi Q something e-tron.
Went for my car, took a shortcut that was twice as far and that was the only one spotted.

Two Teslas model 3s and a Leaf in Lidl's car park and a Vauxhall* thing turning out of my street as I returned.

Having upgraded the OS and worse Firefox, despite selecting Proper English I keep getting the spellruiner suggesting the Websterite alternatives. Tires bebuggered.
Vauxhall was deemed to be Valhalla. There may be some justification there.

A single Tesla model 3 on a run to Teesside and back yesterday.
Surprising as there was lots of traffic, even returning at night.

A lack of observational skills rather than a lack of leccy cars I expect.

A 72reg Vauxhall Mocka, a 70reg Polestar 2 and a 19reg Renault Zoe today at the Bicester Retail Village.

A Leaf at the weekend, which our friends had driven from Aboyne to ingleton - via a lot of charging stops! Not an advert for practicality of an EV....

: Probably the first ever picture of one of these on the thread
One of the VW triplets

Bargain basement they should be but bargain basement they ain't.
You would still have to part with £20K + to get a 21 reg like the one in the pic.

Few examples at "the dealers" as of a few minutes ago

: 1991...not the shape of things to come as it turned out. Very low drag co-efficient (0.19) narrow wheels and tyres, lightweight, spats over rear wheels.

No, the public want a large heavy brick with a huge heavy battery to lug around everywhere they go.

That looks quite attractive Neil, such a shame it never happened..

Your brick comment is spot-on...

A Leaf charging. Local walk-in centre, been for another Covid jab. Walked there through the park so very few cars spotted and no other electrics.

A real-life Lucid Air hasn't made an appearance on the thread yet Ross not sure if its available in the UK yet.
Here's my spot of the day. A very satisfied Peugeot e-208 owner, and stunning blue paint job which the photo probably doesn't do justice.

: free juice at Tesco's

Long established Motoring Guide Parkers have recently announced their "Company Car of the Year"
https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/manufa ... by-parkers

Different price bracket altogether than the Cortina's, Sierra's, Mondeo's and the Cavaliers of earlier times.

This is it as spotted by our FCF spotters earlier in the thread
