In the latest issue of AutoVolt, we look at the reasons why you should travel by EV as much as possible. We interview Craig Wilson, MD of Williams Advanced Engineering about Formula E batteries, Jaguar FE Team and the Nissan BladeGlider concept. Additionally, on the holiday theme, we talk to Chris Millward from the RAC about what happens if you breakdown in an EV.
In reviews we have a first drive of the KIA Niro Hybrid, the company’s first hybrid on the UK market, while Tim Barnes-Clay heads to Europe to drive KIA’s first EU market plug-in hybrid, the Optima PHEV. The Mercedes-Benz C 350 e and Volkswagen Passat GTE are put through their paces, plus the latest Lexus RX 450h hybrid SUV.
Plus, Robert Llewellyn questions the possibility that we’ve already reached the so called ‘tipping point’ for electric vehicle adoption. See below for more contents and get the issue from Readly, Magzter or MagCloud.
