I'd love to say I was surprised but from the outset this felt like a case of when this would happen, not if.

Such a massive waste of time, money and effort with a net output of nowt.

Still, I'm sure the brains behind the endeavour are already on to their next pie in the sky project. Thoughts go out to the staff who are the innocent victims here.

I never heard that they had significant agreements with the big boys panasonic, lg so didn't understand where they were getting their tech from, but maybe you build the factory and then license that,

publicity for below must have passed me by, another £35k+ car , without obvious sporty credentials despite brabus name, nlel1975 needs to trade sideways.

 
Gone half-way with a new Ford Kuga PHEV, only done 500 miles so far I get 30 miles out of battery - so fine for running around in and then slow charging at home.

I got my temporary car through the week which ended up being an EV ioniq (not the 5). A car I would absolutely never have even considered, almost entirely on the way it looks.....I quite like it so far :cry:, it doesn't really pretend to be anything other than competent white goods motoring and it's really quite hard to fault as a result
