May well have been, not completely cognisant of all the different model names.

I quite like the rear and side views but not so keen on the front. Something about not having obvious headlights makes it look sort of anonymous to me, no face as such! :-D

My ride out today yielded a lot of green flashes, Teslas, VW's, A couple of Zoe's but for me a first was a Royal Mail Nissan Van. No photo as I was driving but definitely not seen one of them before!! :-D

I couldn't even find a picture of one on the web but here's a marketing picture for it:

Another day of multiple spots of the usual culprits that I see but another first for me within the crop. A Fiat 500 with a green flash, I'm not sure what they actually call it but it was the originall 500 size, not that horrible giant version that came out a few years ago! :-D

One like this:

More use of Tesco now beginning to show, put the Zoe on charge alongside an Hyundai Ionic a Jaguar I-Pace and a Peugeot 3008
Along the road I saw a Tesla something in a very nice rich blue colour.

It certainly is, I noticed at Morrisons the other day a cluster of IQ's Leafs and Cloe's etc. all hanging around the occupied chargers. I fear the ramp up of charging points is being overtaken by the take up of electric cars in our part of the world. Knowing the general behaviour of people in the petrol queues last year, it is only a matter of time before we witness a Battle of Morrisons or Battle of Tescos featuring impatient mums hurling abuse at overtime chargers because they will be late for the school run!! I shall sit back in my petrol powered luxury and watch with much amusement!! :-D

Five Leafs, red, white and blue.
A Peugeot 2008. Couldn't swear it was electric but passed me completely silently.

If I said the Peugeot Lion has a blue edge to it I'm guessing that wouldn't help :-D

Never noticed. In a car park and it passed then turned so only a brief glimpse of the rear, looked for a green flash or an 'E' but didn't see either.

Forgot to mention I followed a VW ID3 on a 22 plate yesterday but no green flash. So I am guessing the flash is not compulsory and this particular owner did not want to advertise the fact that he had gone electric!! :-D
