The Citroen Oli is an oddball electric concept we can’t help but love
This four-seat family do-it-all machine keeps things light and easy. Literally
Very, very clever.
Unfortunately mostly bought by friends/ associates of the dealer principles these days. Very few are driven on the roads or even tracks these days. A friend/neighbour ordered a WEISSACH GT3RS, kept in the garage for 3 months then sold it for a massive profit.I’d call the GT 3 RS and GT2 sports cars?
I copied the following from another forum I am onMacan is Porsche’s best seller, followed closely by the Cayenne.
911’s don’t even sell half their numbers.
Even the Taycan sells in bigger numbers than the holy grail.
I’m sure I read yesterday, Porsche just built the 100,000 Taycan.
No longer a sports car manufacturer…
Did anyone get stuck in these queue’s…?

Six-hour queues shows painful reality of owning a Tesla at Christmas
A number of Tesla owners across the UK were left queueing for hours to charge their electric vehicles over the Christmas periodwww.ladbible.com
Didn’t get delayed charging, took the van as needed a bed at in the in-laws. That said we could have got there and back in our EV without the need to charge as can get 300 real miles on a full charge. Cost us a alot more in diesel in the van but avoided sleeping on an airbed that always seem to have a slow puncture!Did anyone get stuck in these queue’s…?

I have that too.Didn’t get delayed charging, took the van as needed a bed at in the in-laws. .
I think they will be future classics too as they are stopping making themI’m very tempted to switch my 2008 Golf GTi for this BMW i3 Range Extender for £21.5K for 2018 26k miles.
Almost all our journeys are under 3 miles (yes I know I should cycle more) some maybe 15 miles and then twice a year my wife does 130 miles round trip to visit friends and wouldn’t like to have to recharge. Seems ideal….![]()

I quite like the Range Extender option.
I don’t mind small range - 50 miles would do me easy but the ability to avoid any non home charging completely by using the range extender is perfect for when my wife does a 100 mile trip twice a year.
I have that too.
Secretly I quite like the excuse of getting out the house and retreating to the van.
I assume you mean what Akio Toyoda said a few weeks back, ie that they will continue to offer hybrids, plug-ins (and maybe hydrogen) alongside EVs at least during the next development phase?What do people think about the recent reservations expressed by Toyota on electric vehicles?
Agree.Beware of colonial thinking. Remember many ‘developing’ countries skipped land lines and wired internet completely and went straight to mobile, as a result they have some of the highest mobile phone take up and developed their own tech for many things including mobile phone payment systems that‘s way in advance of ‘developed’ countries. May be more difficult with EV’s but not impossible e.g EV take up with low income people in China is high.
Also ‘hybrids’ could also be considered worst of both worlds, over engineered, poor IC and poor EV combined to green wash old tech, at least that’s what most are today
Similar feelings here - just 100 mile range on battery to keep the battery light & a 900cc petrol engine with a decent sized fuel tank as a back up as long as it would run the car at motorway speeds.Someone give me a hybrid with a decent 150 mile range and without being overly heavy (the current hybrids top off at about 45 miles), I may consider one.
