Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Steve Moody, 28 March 2013 12:00

This is a massive launch: the new Zoe is an electric car Renault really needs to succeed, as it’s the tip of a four billion euro arrow, fired years ago by Carlos Ghosn. Certainly, it’s a cracking looking thing, with its cute, stubby looks and stylish, airy interior that is techy without being weird. But is it four billion well ...

Tesla Model S (2013) CAR review

4.5

Ben Oliver, 08 February 2013 10:00

Tesla will begin deliveries to UK Model S customers in summer 2013, with a right-hand drive version of the electric limo due to follow in late 2014. The top-level Signature trim model will start at £83,000 and will only be available with the flagship 85kWh battery that we've tested below. The entry-level model, capable of a 160 mile range from its ...

Mazda Demio EV (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 06 December 2011 12:20

So this is the electric version of Mazda’s Demio (that’s the Madza 2, to you and I), the company’s first modern all-electric car. It’s a development tool, and not aimed at production yet. If you’re reading this with a fair amount of confusion and thinking ‘Hang about, I thought Mazda was doing that SkyActiv malarkey,’ you’re right. Mazda is vigorously and ...

Audi Urban Concept (2011) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 28 October 2011 07:00

The Audi Urban Concept is a frantic fusion of home-made soapbox racer, bubble car, quad bike, go-kart and electric runabout, creating something all-new to tempt environmentally-conscious urbanites. CAR was granted rare access to road test (okay, scoot around a closed-off car park) this plug-in 21st century quadricycle. And guess what? We've found out that Audi will soon okay the Urban Concept for low-volume ...

Rolls-Royce 102 EX (2011) CAR first drive review

3.5

Ben Oliver, 17 June 2011 09:26

This is the Rolls-Royce 102EX. Also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric, it swaps V12 petrol power for a massive block of batteries and electric motors to create perhaps the least-likely EV conversion ever. Does the Rolls-Royce 102EX work as a viable EV luxury limo? Read on for CAR's drive of the 102EX to find out... Rolls-Royce 102EX: the rationale ...

Nissan Leaf electric car (2011) CAR review

3.5

Mark Hamilton, 31 March 2011 12:41

CAR's Gavin Green drove a pre-production Nissan Leaf in Japan last year and came away impressed. So did European Car of the Year judges, who awarded the Nissan Leaf the COTY award for 2011. The Leaf continues to garner accolades in the media and positive reports from all who drive it. But we haven't had a chance to try the Leaf on ...

Renault Zoe concept EV supermini (2011) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 21 February 2011 15:51

Renault says the Zoe concept is 90% identical to the production electric car that goes on sale in early 2012. We get behind the wheel to find what it won’t be like at all to drive. What is the Renault Zoe EV? Is it a Clio replacement? No, the Clio will continue, and there’s a new Clio on the way ...

Smart Fortwo Electric Drive (2012) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 24 September 2010 13:03

As mentioned at the close of my recent Sark-astic experience (see CAR Magazine, August 2010), there’s nothing quite like a drastic downturn in fortune to promote radical re-evaluation. In the context of my Smart Fortwo Electric Drive on Guernsey, then, I found myself rather less preoccupied with the island’s performance parity inducing blanket 35mph speed limit than the fact that ...

Peugeot Ion (2010) electric CAR review

Ben Pulman, 10 September 2010 10:29

This is Peugeot’s first electric car, the Ion… Hang on! This Peugeot Ion looks a little familiar – isn’t it a Mitsubishi iMiEV? Essentially, yes it is. Just as Peugeot (and Citroen) created re-nosed versions of Mitsubishi’s Outlander SUV, so the PSA twins now have their take on the electric iCar. But like the 4007 and C-Crosser 4x4s, PSA has ...

VW Golf Blue-e-motion (2013) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 19 August 2010 09:36

A VW Golf Blue-e-motion? Fuelled by kangaroo poo, is it? No, ya great galah, it’s powered by electricity. The Golf Blue-e-motion is a prototype for the Nissan Leaf rival you’ll be able to buy from Volkswagen dealers in 2013. CAR drove the electric Golf in the world's biggest e-rally for a feature in the new Green CAR, a free 32-page supplement ...
