  A very well put together vid, lots of information about the car. Not sure about how it got into the Suv line up  that's so popular but it has to fit in somewhere.  The comments about Tesla being able to learn from it is interesting, we'll have to wait and see.

I found a documentary that I found both interesting and anger inducing, so I wanted to share it.

Dave a huge thanks for finding that video and posting it, a must watch for everyone  :sign-thanks:

It made me cry in places  :'(
The poor little EV1  :( and the short sighted governments and greedy oil and car companies  :sign-sad:

I know we will win the fight, this time, I'm sure of it, they will not pull the wool over our eyes any more  :no-no:

The future is renewable energy and battery powered cars.

  Got to agree it's a great video, so much I never heard about before. Good find Dave.

Again a good find Dave, at a million and a half saving pennies won't do it.

Really nice to see the top end EVs have already surpassed the equivalent ICE cars, in so many ways and in such a short space of time too. You can even include range now, drive a hyper ICE car hard and you don't get far before you have to stop to refuel.

1st Time In an Electric Vehicle - Are they any good?

Another electric SUV, this time from Mercedes.

There has been some good news in the city where I live regarding chargers, this is mostly aimed at people that can't charge at home or have no off-road parking.

QuoteNew electric vehicle charging points are coming to the streets of Brighton & Hove following a successful bid for government funding. 

A grant of £300,000 has been awarded to Brighton & Hove City Council by the Office of Low Emission Vehicles, to install charging points across the city and encourage more drivers to make the switch to pollution-busting electric-powered cars.

There was a Royal wedding yesterday, I wish the happy couple all the best  :)

The best bit for me was the electric E-Type Jaguar they drove to the reception in.  :drooling:

:thumbsup:

Gratz to the happy couple, and good choice of "getaway car". :)
