Looks like it has a sad looking face in a cartoonish sort of way. :)

That's because it's electric and no one wants one :D

I thought I read the other day that Labour have reinstated the original deadline of 2030 for the ban on petrol/diesel cars...but I cant find it again now.
Personally I think its laughable...but not in a funny way.

How heavy is a 1.0 engine plus gearbox compared to a say a 50kwh battery pack plus motors?

Be interesting to see how it’s all put together

It is an established fact that an EV is much heavier than its equivalent with an internal combustion engine.

I certainly don't want an EV.. In fact I haven't a scooby doo on what to go for next.
If I can find a low mileage good condition petrol car. I may go back in time. Kinda wish I held onto my RS. But that presents an issue, old cars and even for an RS the switch gear and cockpit facilities feels so outdated.

That's a very heavily processed image. Best guess is it'll have the same face but the grill will be filled in like the mach-E.

Labour pledged in their manifesto to reinstate the 2030 change over but I don't think they've announced anything yet.

An EV would suit me fine but I can't charge at home yet. Until that time comes it's not worth the change for me because public charging is as expensive (arguably more so) as petrol.
