On the Tesco charger today a new MG5 estate, what a nice car!
The owner had only had it for two days and couldn't work out how to disconnect the charger cable. :)

Jeff Bezos called in his electric van with a pair of cutproof arm defenders for my brother.
Nice of him :)
The only electric for a few days.
I did wonder about a silent black brick that drove past but it was a boring 999cc Ford thingy.

I have seen 5 different colours on the MG5 including the latest spot in Cosmic Silver, not quite the full set.

The MG5 EV SW

A first for me in terms of exterior paint...I have seen white/red/blue and black examples, but this is the first in this shade. I think its Cosmic Silver, Hampstead Grey is more obviously darker and grey.

I hope your brother will be as happy with his arm defenders as I am Steve... I'm finding them a true godsend... No more cuts and blood blisters :-D

All our Amazon drivers hereabouts are still on diesel... Not seen an electric one yet but will keep a lookout from now on...

Seems to be about 60/30 around here.
A former neighbour has the Amazon distribution franchise, or one of them at least.

A Kia hybrid, a Basil Brush ambulance for cancer patients.
And a BMW that thought it was electric having a tyre inflated in one of the charging points.
Car park was nearly full though, only a couple of hundred normal spaces left :(
