Really an EV is essentially a white good/tool not different to a powerdrill or washing machine. Good in some ways, I think we need a bold manufacturer to make an EV purely as a "white good" no lifestyle nonsense, status or even branded, no personality, purely a cut down A to B device viewed no differently to a USB cable. A communist EV!

World Citizen Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Do it Nige, do it 😬 and report back Agree 100% but think a Beko UN spec, original Fiat Panda type EV wouldn't sell well due to buyers worrying about what the neighbours think 🙄 so people would prefer to lease something expensive
