Exactly. When you look at the younger generations, they enjoy the ol' timers & everyone is so fed up with boring clonic SUVs... Also, realistically, the middle class is shrinking everywhere: 80K for a new vehicle that will be obsolete 8 years later is just not financially acceptable. Back to healthy basics + personality.

@irton-nu9iv I've owned an EV for 5 years, it's our only car. In the first couple of years it was 'touch and go' a few times on long hauls to find a rapid charger but in the past 2 years it has been so easy that I hardly bother using the app to plan the journey. We live in rural France, the Poitou-Charente so the nearest towns of any size are 60 km away. We've done 4 trips to UK, one to Germany, two to Switzerland and one to Spain, never had any problems using public chargers and never had to wait to get onto a charger. It seems to me that people who suffer from 'range anxiety' and worry about finding a charger are people who don't own EVs!...I would never go back to hand over my hard earned cash to the oil billionaires and handling a dirty, smelly pump.

@@PeterKirton-nu9iv Its funny after 4 years of EV ownership the idea of having to go to a petrol station feels so convoluted and inconvenient. We do need to see at least one or two rapid hubs in each town for those that can't charge at home, obviously place is at the supermarket so you can charge up for the week while you do your weekly shop.

I remember very very clearly how cars like Renault 5s and Fiat Unos felt, they were basically super thin metal and small bits of plastic with engines about the size of a shoebox, and tyres as big as a doughnut. It's almost surprising they weigh as much as 800kg :)

Back when i was a teenager (a very very long time ago lol) i remember getting a lift off a guy with a 1981 Gordini Turbo. Its stuck with me all these years because in the 80's it was a rocketship. It got the bug for Renault at that point and went on to own a Feugo GTX, 30 TX, and the daddy of them all, a GTA V6 Turbo.
