the truth about electric cars

Featured Replies

I don't think many would want the early EV crap either, and with fewer than 100 units built, the C1 ev'ie was converted by the Electric Car Corporation, which was based in Bedford, so it could hardly be called an EV generation. In fairness, can it?

Agreed; it's a hoorah on the hidden door handles, but it will be some time before all of them are replaced.

@lol-lol, this bit of news will please you.

Best selling car (not just EVs) in China, about half million, which is by far largest car market in the world.

Not as good looking as the R5 IMO but good price especially in 47 KWh battery......

Geely own Polestar and Volvo, part own Aston and also numerous other brands.

Good boot and Frunk size too. Spacious but slowish charging. 115 hp and bit slow to 60 ie 11 seconds. Could sell quite well.

That's hilarious clickbait.
What's being ordered for destruction is a certain brand and specific type and colour of 2 gang sockets with switches that were made in China.
It's one of DOZENS of product safety recalls that happens regularly. That eFixx fella certainly knows how to draw people in

You have to scroll some way down before finding it and blink and you'll miss it.
