Saw an eC4 today, can't think I've seen one before; 22 plate given away by the green flash.

Also behind a Kia EV6, god that's taken a beating with the ugly stick 😮

Sunday I saw some EV where the had not only a green flash, but an entire green border all the way around the plate. So distracted by the plate, can't remember what it was, it was white though🤪

Snap, well not really since it was an on-the road middle of driving brief encounter, but exactly the same colour. Only my second on the road spot of the little Honda-e.

I there was another Honda SUV I spotted in a retail park car park. I have never seen a more obvious looking brand new car, absolutely stood out with gleaming red paintwork offset with gleaming black wheels. Thought it might be a new BEV, but no badged up as this...

...and an HEV is one of those things that runs on two sources of power....petrol and gasoline.

Peugeot 2008-e also in a gleaming blue apart from the usuals.

Classic Leaf enjoying a free drink in Selkirk before the 30p/kWh charge comes in on May 1st. An unusual approach to parking in the EV slots, maybe they were both ICED when it arrived.

Only the one and I did make an effort, a black Porsche Taycan. Only by the green flash though.

Passed by a DS3 eTense earlier when I was out on my bike, then I passed it down the high street shortly after!

And a Tesla that sneaked past too quickly for me.

First foray of the day so there may be more later.

Now this is a category of a thing used for transporting people or goods, powered by electricity, which is a rare sight on the roads and charging points of the United Kingdom.

Indeed it is the first ever reported on or very own FCF spotting thread. Even its worldwide hugely popular cousin the electric scooter both in the Lambretta sense, and the skateboard with steering sense, have remained unreported and unphotographed for our thread.

The first electric motorbike spotted in the UK on this thread!
Unusual charging buddy, back from a ride out in the Scottish Borders.

Are you sure that Kia wasn't a watchamacallit Steve? :-D
