With support from Nissan, Renault and BMW, we hosted our first Milton Keynes multi-brand electric car day at our offices in Milton Keynes.

In a packed two and a half hours of pre-booked drives over twenty people enjoyed the thrills and spills of electric car driving, with 2 Nissan Leafs, 2 BMW i3’s, 1 Renault ZOE and one Nissan EV-200 electric van.

We’ve written about these vehicles in more detail in other posts:

This is the first of many. Please contact us if you have an office that would benefit from a multi-car test drive event.

Mexicans Lining up Electric to Beat Pollution

On a trip to Mexico City this week, I have just seen a lovely sight. A long row of all-electric Nissan Leafs lined up in a taxi rank ready to start the day.

If you have ever been to Mexico City, then you will know that air pollution is a major issue here, as it is now becoming in all large cities. The taxi rank is not yet a full solution, and the city is still filled with diesels and petrol guzzlers blasting out noxious fumes, but it is a step in the right direction. I hope for many more.

A Look Around my New Nissan Leaf 30 kWh

I just took delivery of my new long range Nissan Leaf and I love it.

Check out the short video. This is the Tekna and the interior shots show the nice leather (heated) seats front and back, and the roomy boot.

New stuff I have noticed:

The extra range is wonderful.
DAB radio is great and the software interface is much improved.
It tucks in the wing mirrors automatically when you lock it.
It comes with both 13A and type 2 charge cable as default.
It seems to accelerate a little quicker than before in normal mode (in spite of the extra battery weight).
It seems to accelerate a little slower in eco mode. I guess that is good for eco.
Gun Metal grey looks fantastic.
