The Hyundai Kona Electric is the first Hyundai EV to qualify for the government’s Electric Car Grant, a Band 2 £1,500 grant. The Electric Car Grant has been with us for a while, with almost all the EVs qualifying only for the Band 2 £1,500 payment, and just a handful qualifying for the more generous […]
New MG 4 EV Urban joins the MG4 EV offerings
The new MG4 EV Urban joins MG’s EV offerings with new underpinnings, new looks and prices starting from £23,495. There’s no doubting that the MG4 EV put MG back on track with its budget pricing (for an EV), and MG is now aiming to make electric motoring cheaper still with the new MG4 Urban. Despite […]
MINI Countryman Electric now with ADDED range
The electric MINI Countryman E – and the Countryman SE ALL4 – get a range of technical tweaks to deliver an extended range. When the MINI Countryman arrived back in 2010, it arrived with looks only a mother could love and seemed like a step too far as BMW tried to push the MINI brand […]
BMW iX3 GRABS COTY gong – wins too for Land Rover Defender, Skoda Superb and more
The Neue Klasse BMW iX3 is declared Car of the Year by What Car?, with category wins for Land Rover Defender, Skoda Superb and many more. Legacy car makers have had a hard time trying to offer EVs, through forced legislation, which are appealing and sensibly priced, and resorted to building standalone EV models with […]
Hyundai Ioniq 6 N goes on SALE – costs the same as the Ioniq 5 N
The electric Hyundai Ioniq 6 N, revealed last year, goes on sale in the UK, boasting 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and costing £65,800. Most EVs are reasonably seen as white goods with little proper driver involvement or aural delight, but the arrival of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N three years ago at Goodwood disproved that […]
Volvo EX60 OFFICIALLY revealed – and it looks good enough to worry the BMW iX3
The new Volvo EX60 is officially revealed with three powertrain options, up to 671bhp and up to 503-mile range. The Volvo XC60 is Volvo’s best-selling car of all time, with some 2.7 million sold to date, so its electric equivalent – the new Volvo EX60 now officially revealed – needs to be special, especiallly with […]
Lexus RZ price CUTS to deliver six models under the new £50k Expensive Car Supplement threshold
Lexus cuts the price of most of its RZ range, putting six 350e models below the new £50k Expensive Car Supplement threshold. The Lexus RZ EV arrived in 2022 as the Lexus take on the Toyota bZ4X, and Lexus seems to have seen it as a work in progress with an evolving range of new […]
Electric Volvo EX60 LEAKED ahead of Volvo’s planned reveal this week
The new electric Volvo EX60 will be revealed on Wednesday (21/01/26), but it’s already leaked out online. Volvo has had a few trials and tribulations with its rollout of new EVs, with models like the range-topping EX90 (the EV equivalent of the XC90) proving particularly problematic, with missing functionality and glitchy software. Thankfully, for Volvo, […]
2027 ELECTRIC BMW M3 Neue Klasse to arrive with quad motors and fake engine sounds
BMW will launch an electric Neue Klasse M3 in 2027, ahead of which we get our first look at the quad motor M3 EV. BMW has had more success than most legacy car makers with its EV offerings, choosing, on the whole, to effectively make EV a powertrain option rather than offering standalone electric models. […]
Kia EV2 revealed and set to CHALLENGE the Renault 4 E-Tech
The Kia EV2 is revealed as Kia’s sixth EV model, with a choice of two battery options, 400V architecture and prices expected to start at around £25,000. It’s getting on for a year since we saw the Kia EV2 Concept as a first look at a new Entry-level Kia due in 2026, delivering chunky urban […]
