A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.

All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

Renault have an advantage that they've been making EVs for years (as have Nissan). A lot of the other "traditional" car companies either completely shunned EVs or released a token one which was largely not available and they didn't want to sell to you. As such they are a way behind and/or have had to spend extra on R&D to catch up.

I don't know if the 2CV will be any good, but it's going to have to be exceptional to compete with the 5EV - and I'm not convinced that they will manage it
