Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

[myglaren]

A 21 reg Leaf right outside my house as I walked home from delivering my car to my son's house.

A few on the road, in the car park, and at the charger spots today on a dalliance over the border. MG ZSEV, VWiD3, Hyundai Kona, Classic Leafs and New leafs, and 5 or 6 of Tesla Model 3's, only one in non non-descript paintwork ie a Red one.

Only took one photo....The Tesla in a Car park, in White, about as ordinary as you get!

The UK's best selling car

A Porsche Taycan 21 Reg with the green stripe plates, in one of those in vogue but dull shades, VW id4 in black and a KIA Soul EV in white with a light blue roof.

I'd rather have the KIA than the Porsche.

65 reg ones with 60,000+ miles on just dip under the £10K sort of price.

Longest trip since August 28th 2020. Brother's birthday and the only time I go to Whitby any more.

The only one I saw was an i3. Probably missed loads though, despite trying to keep a look out for them.
Roads were very busy as it is Bank Holiday and Whitby War Weekend.
Surprisingly, almost everyone driving very sensibly.

Had a chat with a guy who had one of those Kia Souls at the Tesco charger on Friday, he was brimming over with good remarks.
I asked him what range he was getting from it and he said "Real world 120 miles." Had a personal plate on it so I don't know its year.

On Wednesday in Monmouth a very clean Nissan Leaf in the Home Bargains car park but it moved off before I could collar the driver for a chat.

It always adds a bit of interest to start up a conversation...page 1 post 1 setting up the thread

So keep it simple....

What EV's have you spotted? And to add a bit of interest, have you had a chat with the owners see what their views are?

I think I am getting far more nosey as my interest grows, but most owners are more than willing to exchange pleasantries with you about their car

Nothing unusual cropping up on the excursion over the Tyne. Many Tesla’s mostly Model 3’s, but one Model X.

Took my grandson back to Durham uni. Saw two Teslas S's simultaneously, a blue one overtaking me and a black one coming north in the opposite carriageway.

And that was all.

A grey VW ID4 in, but was it Moonstone Grey or Manganese Grey?

How many shades of grey are there?

L in Rome!!

Trip to Durham again with things that he forgot.
A single Leaf.
Probably missed loads as traffic was fairly heavy - 5 pm.

I came up behind this Model S today, I did a double take when I saw the badge on the right, anyone know what it stands for?

It's a 70 bhp diesel. The electric motor swapped to increase range.

Spoiler: show

The badging on the boot refers to the battery pack hidden under the floor – in this case a 70kWh battery. The D refers to the dual motor four-wheel drive system – one motor on the front axle and one on the back – and there’s a

KIA E-Niro 21 Reg.

Bit of a tea spillage incident which has taken out the left click function on my laptop. Painful navigation by the tab keys etc. Hoping that a USB mouse will provide at least some restoration, but none in the house .

Difficult posting anything, although somehow I have managed to get the pic of the KIA loaded Using the tab and shift keys in an operating a keyboard with boxing gloves on sort of fashion.

Nice clean presentable electric car much beloved of Taxi firms, but not quite in the bargain basement electric category yet.

The Bin tells you roughly where this was taken
