Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Had me wondering there Neil.
I thought it looked more like a pile of scrap that used to be a bus.
Shame about the Fluence.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Scads of them today, had to go to the hospital in Durham again and there was a Zoe, an etron and two Mercedes being charged, plus a model 3 and two Leafs.
Three more model 3s on the A167, also another couple of Leafs and what looked like a Toyota electric.
And that was just the ones I actually spotted.
Tried to take a photo of the line of cars charging but the phone wasn't having it.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Is that drums of diesel under that bus skeleton? I could use some of that our town has run out.
Man is, by nature, a lazy beast, he does not need twice encouraging to do nothing.
Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Pity you hadn't picked up that Zoe a few weeks earlier...
I fill the petrol tank in the Xantia maybe 3 times a year as it gets driven so little, and of course just plug the Leaf in on the driveway. So apart from seeing it on the news and social media I'm fairly oblivious to the panic petrol buying as it doesn't directly affect me.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
The Zoe deal is getting to be a bit of a drag, got the battery lease forms to sign yesterday just two signatures needed along with twelve pages of small print.
Lot's of interesting stuff in there but it gives me a headache.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
I have put a response up here Gibbo on the "Used Renault Zoe-Can a case be made to buy one" thread, to keep useful info about buying a Zoe in an easily findable thread for anyone else looking.

Well thats the first mention of the word Enyaq on this thread, so I reckon that must be another first for you JamesHell Razor5543 wrote: ↑28 Sep 2021, 13:07 I spotted a 71 reg Skoda Enyaq on Britten Road this morning.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Got a bit of a surprise to seel this little chap on a 21 plate. One of the 3 VW Group's babies, but the one which got production throttled back then the full axe, presumably because it was the cheapest an people might actually buy them instead of the pricier other two.

Spot one and then there is another....residual orders being fulfilled.https://www.carwow.co.uk/skoda/citigo-e-iv
"Under the skin, the Skoda Citigo e electric car is almost exactly the same as the SEAT Mii Electric and the VW e-UP – a bit like Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury’s custard creams. The difference being that all its mechanical bits and bobs are packaged up in a slightly different wrapper to help you tell them apart."

Tesla 3.
At a local school I passed on my government mandated walk to the shops in the next village, for stuff forgotten on yesterday's excursion.
I suspect that I keep seeing this in this area.
If only I could remember registration numbers. Mine included.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Vauxhall Corsa e in black.....they really do need the green stripe or they just anonymously pass by unnoticed.
Noticed also that a KIA dealership, has also squeezed in the less important Stellantis brands Citroen, Peugeot and Vauxhall on their premises. There is also a long established Vauxhall dealer within 200 yards.
So they will try to sell the Peugeot e-208 in one corner and the Vauxhall Corsa-e in another the badge engineered twins. The Peugeot e-2008 and the Vauxhall Mokka-e another pair of badge engineered twins.
Dont think Stellantis have quite got the synergies right in that square kilometre of Northumberland.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Couldn't get it all in as the camera wanted to focus on the bloody tree. Will have to get my little axe out.
There is a focus lock on it but only a contortionist can operate that.
