Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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.

Re: Electric Vehicles: What have you spotted?
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!!
