About 1700kg, pretty light compared to some of its competitors! Remember the weight is low down. 60kWh battery.

1 year ago today, we collected our Renault Megane E-Tech ⚑️

It’s a bit of a bargain EV at the moment, and very much lives in the shadows of the R4 and R5.

It’s a genuinely good car to drive. Too many blind spots for my liking, but it feels very dynamic. Efficient too! πŸ™‚

This is still my favourite EV I’ve had the pleasure of driving. I want one badly! 😩

My comprehensive review of the latest Toyota Prius has gone live! Is the Prius finally cool? I think so… πŸ€”

If you’re skeptical about the uptake of EVs, then maybe a plug-in hybrid is the right choice for you. What do you think?

My Toyota Prius review lands this evening, I’m really looking forward to you all seeing it. If you’re uncertain about the EV future for whatever reason, then maybe a PHEV is the next best option? It’s an interesting topic! πŸ€”

Insanely good. R5s aren’t far behind.

5am airport drop-off duty for my parents, featuring a proper scrappage scheme survivor! A little Pug 106 XRD. Further proof that cars have become too bloated.

Ahhh, I love Italian cars. One Panda dies (temporarily)… another Panda comes to the rescue!

The sad news is that the Prius goes back to Toyota tomorrow. The good news is that I’m filming an incredibly exciting video that I can’t wait for you all to see. Watch this space… πŸ‘€

I’m filming my Prius PHEV review tomorrow. Looking forward to talking about the sleek design language and fascinating e-CVT. Is there anything in particular you’d like to know? Comment below! πŸ‘‡

Finally home in the all-new Toyota Prius PHEV. It averaged 68mpg over 230 miles, and I wasn’t even driving economically. That works out at around Β£20. For reference, my 3 Series managed half the efficiency on the way down 🫣

It’s the new Prius! Mighty fine car.
