Tesla 'Y' and a VW iD3.

Unusual as have just been to Durham and back and was stuck in traffic both ways, that is unusual too, and spotted no more. The two above I saw this morning.

This (arrowed) is both a 23 reg and a KIA EV6

No chance for a chat, even less for a discrete photo as she pulled away from the Chargepoint.

Been to Teesside and spotted only two, a smallish Mercedes and a SUV that I think was a Citroen so possibly an e-C4 but seemed bigger.

Edit: It was a Nissan of Quashkie proportions. Ariya most likely.

You haven't made your debut yet on the 23 Spotting Thread Mick and March is nearly done. Surely there must be one or 2 knocking around Hertfordshire!

I don't often look out for them so I've not noticed any, I only pay attention to number plates if they have a green flash!! :-D

Enjoyed reading that link :D One to keep an eye on...

It never fails to amaze me what can be got from Alibaba 8-)
This handy little page from Electrek covers the full list of articles of the "Awesomely Weird Alibaba Vehicle of the Week" by Micah Toll. https://electrek.co/guides/alibaba/


I missed this one in February, he acknowledges the possible inaccuracy of his own headline, but I would call it just that...
