That one slipped away as quietly as it came, I have a feeling it belongs to one of the poorly paid GPs from the surgery just round the corner. :)

Here are some of today's spots, most down at MER HQ. MER is Charging infrastructure network provider owned by Norwegian State-owned Statkraft, and a very pleasant group of employees too every single one smiled or chatted with us who came out that door. There was also a grey polestar, and a Nissan Leaf

Can't remember seeing one previously.
Load of nonsense IMO.
I can never remember what mine is.

I recall earlier on this year most of the motoring public were doing that without much success trying to top up their petrol and diesel cars. :)

Two grey Kia thingys like the one that comes next door frequently.
What I presume was a BMW i4

Was slow with the camera and nearly missed it.

And this. Didn't realise it was a Tesla* until almost too late - driver doesn't acknowledge speed limits.

*which makes me wonder how many I miss.

No camera clicks, but a Black Jaguar I-Pace and a Blue MG5 EV Station Wagon (yes that is what the SW stands for!)

Not sure when a Station Wagon turns into a Shooting Brake :-D
