After last-week's widely admired/derided cross between a Tesla and a Mazda, I have another imaginary #EV for you to admire or more probably throw scorn at. I'd like to see a cross between a @Rivian R1T and a Matra-Simca Rancho. What electric-car mashup would you build?

A week ago I drove my long-term Leaf repeatedly around Lincoln for an efficiency test. The result? Just 116 miles before the battery was empty. Read the tale: parkers.co.uk/nissan/leaf/ha… Photos by my lad, Fin Jones

Think EV battery swapping died with Better Place? Think again. @Padmasree Warrior said last week she thinks it'll be essential in crowded cities where home charging is impossible for the majority. xitter.gq/NIO_US/status/99896871…

Ideally, this should be done in a DB5, but the new Nissan Leaf acquitted itself remarkably well in the highlands this morning.

An electric city car with a 150-mile range? In 1977? AMC might have been slightly ahead of the curve there cardesignnews.com/articles/c…

Looks like Morgan EV3 went back to the drawing board: new chassis, new battery, new charger, new motor, new technical partner, delayed launch. Should be worth the wait, though. xitter.gq/morganmotor/status/943…

March 2016 I started an adventurous road trip to the other side of the world in an electric car. The route is decided by people who offer me energy and this made me zigzag around the world. Today after 640 days, 54.000km and 31 counties I reached the equator! #Withoutadropoffuel – at West Borneo, Indonesia

Developed and built in Coventry, RWD, 6-seater and pure EV for 80 miles (range extender allows 400). Finally the London black taxi @LondonEVCompany is a properly resolved piece of engineering. Being eco can only cement its inner city longevity. @FullyChargedShw
