One of these. Won't be buying one. Looks like a Quashqui in drag.

I see the bloke next door has a Vauxhall Uglything Electric.
He's had a Volvo outside for three years that has only been used for about two weeks in all the time he has had it.

For once a vehicle manufacturer has given a vehicle a meaningful name :) Must be the Stellantis influence...

Volkswagens electric vans are not even made by VW they are diesel conversions from a company called ABT, they go from production line to ABT for the EV side to be installed.
I am getting a few through now for full services, you know pollen, oil, fuel and air, as the chassis number still reflects it's old ICE status, should make for interesting "repairs" when they get older in other garages, you are not going to repair what you think you are.

Was in Glasgow yesterday, and noted a fair proportion of the busses were EV. I've seen the charging station before which is right next to the M74, but not been into town to see them in action. Hopefully they cope better with the cold than the Oslo ones do...

This morning I saw a BYD Atto 3, certainly the first BYD car I have knowingly seen (the New Lanark shuttle bus is a BYD I am pretty sure).

Lovely light on the Angel - photographer's delight! However I can't tell what the black lump in the foreground is - it seems to absorb light like a black hole!
