it looks like a perfectly sized/proportioned car, until you see someone actually sitting in it

 

 

Good to get the story behind this car.

The batteries / BCM ect might be of interest to @Wino& others.

I spotted an advert on Autotrader last night for a £25,000 E-Cobra,

Then found this vid.

Full sized not like the scaled down E-Cobra & it's 65 mile range.

Yet another one that will be interesting to see when here as a right hand drive and just how right handed drivers get on with the big screen in the middle.

There really are some mental EV,s being built now.

The time of the tech to restrict their max speed on UK roads must be coming.

He needs to move his seat closer as even leaning forward parked up his short arms and fingers are stretching.

Then there will be the oldies issue of needing LARGE Print choices to see those lit up symbols.

Cataracts and Driving glasses.

Pure dead epic it will be to drive at maybe 75 mph on the UK roads. Not!

Youngsters brought up on gaming, or just old foggies.

291 miles, divided by 84 kWh, that is not even getting 3.5 miles to the kWh, and that must be from a WLTP regime figure.

Sorry, I was focusing on the 641bhp…

Not bad for £65,000.

Not sure about it “not having a soul” and all that stuff (I don’t disagree) but it should be quite quick. I’ve just seen a CarWow video of a Kia EV6 (same thing really) smacking a 6.5 V12 Ferrari Purosangue off the line.

The proper Hot Hatch EV,s are starting to come from Stellantis.

Not long until they are cheap used cars with 1 or 2 more previous keepers. Ex Demonstrators.

WTF. I was at the charging hub with my dogs and it is busy with only 3 rapids out of 4 working. People keep trying the out of order one. A brand new on trade plates Audi, top of the range pulled in. The guy looked like he never knew what to do. I went over. He was going to use the tethered AC 43 kW cable. I asked if he wanted to slow charge, he said it can only use that charger, he had been at NcDonalds and the charger would not fit. He was correct. Both ports on both fronts wings had AC ports only. No CCS. No removable cap. It was moulded plastic. As it was his phone or credit card would not work. He is delivering the car. 70 miles range showing and 70 to go near as damn it if no diversions. Last 30 miles are motorway, Off he went. He said he would just get it recovered if need be.
