Show Notes
Is the Renault 5 getting even better, or is Renault simply fixing what wasn't broken? We look at the latest updates, including more range, a new entry-level version and some intriguing new tech.
We also discuss yet another delay for the electric Defender, with the next-generation model now reportedly pushed beyond 2030, and ask whether the smaller Defender Sport could arrive sooner to fill the gap.
And there’s a new Chinese EV brand to get your head around: Lepas is coming to the UK with the L6, a 279-mile electric SUV promising plenty of equipment for around £32,000.
Plus, Nicola finds herself on the naughty step after some comments about EV range and public charging, we answer your questions about the Smart #1, Toyota bZ4X Touring and Subaru E-Outback, and hear your experiences of EV tyres, electric trucks and V2G.
And, of course, we bring you your comments, including the latest instalment of the Kilowatt Half Hour running-time debate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
