I saw that too. Funky little car but not to my taste.

Looks like the new Citroen Ami microEV car.

They’re both diabolically ugly but at least the Chinese version looks a bit like a small car not just a box on wheels! On the plus side, both companies are proving that ev’s can be produced in all shapes and sizes at realistic prices.

In the same piece, there is new battery technology that allows a battery to be fully charged in 5 minutes. Provided of course there is pump with enough umph to do that.

What is heartening is to the battery technology coming on apace..
