Two EV Headlines



Could you live with an EV? All your questions answered in our expert buying guide

We’ve gone EV myth-busting to show what it’s really like to live with an electric car. Our tests reveal the truth about charging and range worries. How reliable is the UK’s charging network on a road trip to the east coast of England? And how does our EV live up to its range claims?


The EV graveyard is cleared! Abandoned new electric cars worth £275k dumped on Nottingham road are collected - and will be sold at auction

The eight brand new electric cars pictured yesterday abandoned in Nottingham have been collected on instruction from liquidators - and will soon be sold at auction, This is Money can reveal.

The convoy of Fisker Ocean EVs, which were originally worth over £275,000 collectively, were dumped at the roadside by a local dealer seven months ago after the US Tesla rival filed for bankruptcy last summer.

Seven months, and the pikeys never had them? Strewth!

Yesterday they claimed there were nine. Inflation, eh?

I'm biased but informed - or perhaps I'm biased because I'm informed. I would not buy an electric timebomb. From what I've read, though, the trouble with Fiskers is not that they are electric it's that they are crap. Awful build quality and kamikaze software do not a happy customer make. It seems that the remaining stock at the factory was bought by a leasing company at knockdown prices and they will simply run them while they still do and then bin them. How sad . . .

Sam - strange isn't it? In Nottingham too.

dearieme - EV - Evaporating Vehicle.

Jannie - yes, avoid manufacturers which are new to the market seems to be the lesson, it takes time to master build quality.

They're not going to nick something they can't make a quick buck from!
