Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
2 red, 1 black, only realised they were 'Mustangs' due to the badge. Not sure why they call it a 'Mach' as that's a performance thing imo. Plus their about the same size as my C8, very sporty.....

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Craply parked VW id4. Live 100 yards from me but in the next street. have seen it from a distance and just took it for another ugly suv but a detour showed it to be of the electric persuasion.
There's also an MG ugly in the street but always reverse parked up to the wall so impossible to identify, may be electric. I should look the reg up and find out.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Plenty on the road spots, the one that caught my eye most was a bright yellow peugeot. Wonder if it was an e-208
as opposed to an e-2008.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

It certainly was a common theme on many boats we saw but this was the only one with a wind turbine as well!!Hell Razor5543 wrote: ↑25 May 2022, 12:28Mum has a solar panel on her narrowboat, while my brother Jay has three.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑24 May 2022, 20:46 Well there's certainly something electric about this vehicle!!

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
There are boats out there with wind turbines as well, but the downside is the noise the turbine can make. Friends of Mum bought one, installed it properly, and within a few days took the blades off whenever they were on the boat. The noise it made in even a mild breeze was enough to affect their sleep.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑25 May 2022, 12:40It certainly was a common theme on many boats we saw but this was the only one with a wind turbine as well!!Hell Razor5543 wrote: ↑25 May 2022, 12:28Mum has a solar panel on her narrowboat, while my brother Jay has three.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑24 May 2022, 20:46 Well there's certainly something electric about this vehicle!!

Maybe we are not too far away from silent zero emission power for boats!:Hell Razor5543 wrote: ↑25 May 2022, 12:47

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
Years ago (over a decade ago, actually) I was with my Mum on her narrowboat in the Birmingham Canal System, near to one of the University campuses, when we saw a narrowboat that was owned by the University. What was unusual about it was that it was a development boat for the Hydrogen Fuel Cells. I don't have any pictures of it though.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑25 May 2022, 13:01Maybe we are not too far away from silent zero emission power for boats!:Hell Razor5543 wrote: ↑25 May 2022, 12:47

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
I spotted a Mercedes EQC 400 on drive home tonight. Looked very smart, until the the Ferrari 458 and Mustang 5.0 GT went past.
