Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

It rolled up near my son's when I collected my car this morning.

..and that is indeed the Maxus e-deliver 9

Does that DPD Maxus include a device to prevent DPD delivery staff driving like total morons?

Around the parts, they are by far the worst... Second only to most of the supermarket delivery van drivers...

What a surprising spot this morning a Citroen c-zero pioneer, not shown on the pic but a 13 reg. Simon (Mandrake) in the Blogs section of the forum did document his own pioneering with its sibling the Peugeot Ion. Both "Frenchies" are re-badged versions of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV (Inovative Mitsubishi Electric Vehicle) the other of the triplets claimed to be the first of the new generation "highway capable" EV's launched in 2009 in Japan.

Cupra sneaking down the street. Food delivery.
Seems strange to me that if you can afford an expensive car like that then delivering food for washers is an odd combination.

The Soul was on my shortlist when I was looking for my new vehicle... Not quite in my definition of 'bargain basement' just yet...

Maybe when I'm ready for another new vehicle.. It would certainly meet my needs...

Been to Teesside and seen many. I parked adjacent to a Leaf that looked just like Neil's but failed to take a photo or get the reg.

Not a very frequent spot only one so far on the thread

Only popped down to Tesco this lunchtime saw at least five EVs in that 4 mile round trip.
Incidentally Neil I tested out your story that Tesco free charging had been cut from 15 minutes to 5, you were right, didn't need to charge but decided to try it out, sat for 5 minutes in the car and off it went, however you can still unplug it and have another five, probably again and again.

It is other pod point chargers where you plug your own cable too, and not just Tesco Gibbo, 5 minutes free and it switches off.

This will sound horrible but, electric vehicle owners should pay for the electric charging their vehicles in public places. I have to pay for electric at home when I turn my light on, where's the free electricity coming from to charge an electric car at a public charging station? Can I role up in a transit van kitted out with batteries in the back, charge it up for free, then run my house on the free electric for the next month? Electric vehicles are gunna 'crash' soon, it's just a matter of time.
