Renault-Nissan do another identical launch, but this time, the Nissan is the better-looking model. ctrlaltrefuel.co.uk/blogs/yo…

It’s a bit sub-optimal in the back. 😔

Automotive News reports Sunderland production is now at full capacity after technical delays. There were fewer than 2,000 European (UK included) registrations of the third-generation Leaf in August due to a "very technical issue". Tochigi plant is building cars for the US and Japanese markets and has made 27,000 vehicles. Sunderland - just 3,260. Clearly, some local issues. Sunderland production is expected to ramp up now.

Tesla just launched the Semi and it’s absolutely relentless. My video breakdown is in the thread below 👇 They’ve redesigned it from the ground up, shaved nearly 1000lbs off it, ditched the paint shop completely, and built it for serious volume production. The Semi is ruthless in its design, its efficiency, and how easy it is to build. Pair that with the charging network rolling out, the European version coming, and Tesla’s signature automation — this thing’s going to be a proper game-changer for trucking. What do you think?

Making the call to the customer. Still... It's only a BYD

A cracking day yesterday at Stanbrook abbey with @SMMT for their drive live event. I caught up with JJonCars & Suffolk Mum.

The Peugeot e308 has some physical buttons. And I like that. However they shouldn’t have bothered 🙄😤👇

Today I have a lightly used Peugeot e-308GT in a lovely met green. I won’t tell you my initial thoughts on it (review coming on @ctrlaltrefuel ) but anything you’d like to know about it or want me to cover? Newt

Help us settle a debate at CtrlAltRefuel Towers: “Is ~165miles/260km range on a small EV -like the new Nissan Pixo/Renault Twingo enough?” Answers split for: If you’ve ‘Had or had an EV before.’ Or ‘Haven’t had an EV before.’ Please share. 🤓

Dual-use solar, or “agrivoltaics”, now gives NJ farmers a whole new way to use the sun. ☀️ By placing solar panels above or among crops or grazing areas, farmers can keep farming their land and produce #renewable energy at the same time.
