I liked this Alpine with just some blue trim. Dogs out for whatever before trip. Anyway. An early start and only 6 degrees C, lots of rain and today that ment 20-30 miles less range than over the past weeks of higher temps. Meant charging to add a few miles before my destination just 5 miles further on. New chargers going in hopefully.

Not found if the Alpine 290 is getting the same upgrades the R5 in the aero and battery department but it should see a few more miles range.

I would be keen to try both the upgrade R5s and the upgrade Scenics, would avoid even more of the public charges.

Just hope they come to the UK as we do get a restricted list of Renault and I would presume other marques too.

New 67 Kwh Scenic should be well under £30k for a very roomy car and have the LFP charging to 100% being no worries.

Blimey that Alpine is ugly! Too much 'addenda' at the front and the wheels are awful!

All in my opinion of course...
