👀Gobsmacked! The Leapmotor C10 is only a 6/10 car for me, but it becomes all the more attractive at just £128 a month over two years with £1536 down (still the equivalent of £192 a month including deposit). That's for a family-sized 263-mile range EV. leasing.com/main-dealers/l…

Last year I presented a @BBCRadio4 documentary – Electric Car Shock. Last night it won an Award! Broadcast of the Year at the headlinemoney awards. Huge congrats to the brilliant team especially producer Nick Holland. Thanks also to contributors @AndyatAuto & @GinnyBuckley
I never thought I’d say this, but if you’re about to buy a sub-£37,000 EV in the coming days HOLD ON ✋ EV grants come into effect tomorrow saving up to £3,750 off eligible cars under £37k - but nobody knows yet which cars it applies to 🤷 Full story here independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/…
Electric vehicle grants are back. Up to £3,750 off EVs under £37,000, but which cars are eligible nobody yet knows... the-independent.com/cars/electric-…
A big night in the life of the Fowler family (well, mine - back to 1978)… It’s @Superman !
12 years ago today at the @AutoExpress Awards we helped to relaunch this bloke’s career. Rick Astley was also there.
Could a Hyundai Ioniq 2 be on the way? You'll find out at the Munich Motor Show in September - or you could read this story now the-independent.com/cars/electric-…
Here's my video on the BYD Dolphin Surf 🏄 I reckon it's the best all-electric model @BYDCompany makes - although at the speed BYD is launching cars, that might not be the case for long! youtube.com/watch?v=u9C8JE…
German Car of the Year testing gave me the perfect excuse to drive something I’ve been desperate to drive… The Dacia Bigster is bloody brilliant 🤩
The future of in-car sun visors using the same tech you get on windows of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Cool stuff from @GentexCorp going from light to shade in the press of a button - and still a vanity mirror and light at the press of another button! Love this ❤️
The DS. No.8 is the car that – at long last – lives up to DS's billing as an alternative to BMW, Audi and Mercedes independent.co.uk/cars/electric-…
I've made it! I've got a cameo in an @ElectrifyingCom video with @Nicola_Hume😀 Skip everything else and head to 9'45" for the greatest piece of acting in an automotive video you'll ever see 🤣youtu.be/Iqhsy0hKWl4?si…
Have a look and see how @Nissan has de-Renaultised the Renault 5 and Nissanised it to become the new Nissan Micra youtu.be/nxQ3Gpyp_Tk?si…
I’ve never known our roads to be in worse condition. What do you think? Potholes and road surfaces - are they…
One of my favourite EVs just got better - but did it get better enough...? The Genesis GV70 Electric! youtu.be/1sFQ0uPyyJQ?si…
