No and I'm getting fed up with that weird commercial for the Adam as well.
Another problem is that they are practically silent, and crossing roads if
you cannot see well suddenly has a very real extra danger. EU say they make
having a sound manditory, but they allow the driver to switch it off. Logic?

Renault are starting to really push their Zoe electric car. It's an
amusing
price, but massively subsidised by European governments (ie by you, me and
every other taxpayer).

Renault advertise it as 130 mile range but in the small print is detail
that the real world range is closer to 60 miles. But the interesting
detail
is that you have to rent the battery. That will cost the driver £80 a
month
for 7500 miles a year.

So that's 13p/mile just for the battery.
And my wife's boring old petrol car costs.... 13p/mile in petrol.

I'm struggling to see what makes the electric car a good idea.
