Oh yes, the name on the side of the yellow van is really quite clever 😀

Up in town we have a little pottery called 'Kilning me softly' 😀

Thinking on that MG looks a bit like the hat the baddies wear in Star Wars... Barth Vador's helmet!

The Hyundai Ioniq (original) is a very efficient EV but largely forgotten in the flood of new EV's coming onto the market. A very capable and very efficient car nicknamed "Wind Knife" as I found out watching Jonathan Porterfield's Auction Video, here...

One of the VW Group triplets the VW e-UP! ( the others the Škoda CITIGOe iV and SEAT Mii Electric).

Its the little White car at the left of the Pic. Only traffic jam on the tour, where the A66 crosses over the M6 at Penrith via a traffic-light controlled roundabout. Little bit of extra holiday traffic but loads of lorries with long trailers. M6 flowing freely apart from the slip roads coming off the M6 up to the roundabout, A66 long tailbacks either side on the Eastbound and Westbound approaches.

From 2017 when the thread started when the only regular EV spotting would be literally the odd first gen Classic shape Nissan Leaf on the roads of the UK, the variety has expanded so in 2024, a dozen or more different models of EV will be spotted in any drive out.

Could have done more, but as an example here's a few on a little trip out on Monday including a first spot for me requiring a pullover and discrete photograph or two viewtopic.php?p=810433#p810433

Ahh! Automotive white goods in a fetching shade of brilliant white... A Hotpoint E-GTX if I'm not much mistaken...

(Tongue very firmly in cheek this morning - sorry!)

For a joiner in, and not expecting an avalanche of FCF members being bothered to take the ball presented and run with it, happy to include it in the community ambulance category. It is proper no exhaust pipe Leccy isn't it Mick :?: Stockport have logo'ed theirs up with a Plug and cable window sticker :-D
