Forgive me RR's for I have sinned

Now now, if we have nothing nice to say and all that.. I don't disagree, this isn't really the place for a modern EV but just negativity won't make it go away.

I don't mind it tbh, although I wish they'd shift away from the traditional car shape. Come up with something interesting

I reckon that there'll be a massive shift in the next few years where the current incumbent car manufacturers are starting to get muscled around by companies like Samsung and LG who already have a wealth of experience with motors and batteries who decide that they want a piece of this electric car game.

Look at washing machines and other white goods now. The old brands are either just a brand name on another bit of tat, or just not up to snuff compared to some of these newer companies.

I know Sony's having a crack, and Panasonic make batteries for some manufacturers.


Also, when electric cars get more prevalent, more people are going to stuff them into walls meaning that the electric drivetrain can be lifted and put into something else.

I keep looking for crashed Zero's but they are too rare already to appear in my searches.

FFS.....!!

This is a church of many colours.

I see the EV as just a nice thing to share, and to be honest, with the current government rules around Covid Etc. We need more happiness rather than peeing on fires that keep us warm.


Good looking car. CONGRATULATIONS


Now if the negative people spent their energy on fitting something that eats fossil fuels directly, rather than berating this one for eating even more fossil fuels, and resources, plus having labourers digging holes in various third world countries at £5.00/day wages in order to build these eco-friendly Lithium batteries......... the world would be a better place.


These things will be our RetroRides in 20 years, if we are not all stuck in Mobility scooters.


The first-generation Prius was launched in October 1997 as the world's first mass-produced hybrid passenger vehicle


Take a look here.

Volvo are supposedly using responsibly sourced materials in their cars. I know the link is Volvo marking it's own homework but...

I know a couple of sorts who base their vehicle purchase decisions on the ethics of the company and the materials used, and they've bought Volvo for the past few rounds.

Is there a point when doing x miles per year makes an ev a cheaper alternative to a combustion engine vehicle?

As a self appointed religious minster of all things V8'y. Donate the '500 to my (cough)church and all is forgiven.

By me anyway.

What are you going to do with the CL?

Indeed, less modern car content please. Congrats on the EV though, they are an interesting experience compared to an IC car.
