Targets on selling EVs will become "more flexible"

That's entirely a response to the Trump tariffs.

He's come along at just the right time for quite a few, hasn't he? Rachel Reeves is another I can think of - phew!
I'm beginning to feel quite sorry for poor old Ed Moribund.

I've just found out that a BMW garage just down the road from me will be dealing with these new Chinese BYD electric cars. I may just abandon Audi and get one of these in the future.

You've picked an odd hill to die on here, considering fire safety is actually an EV strongpoint.

I'm not sure Ed Miliband and his creed have really thought about this:

Brand new car incoming - and it's electric. My wife found it and fell in love with it immediately. So we've put in an order for a Audi Q4 e-tron 45 S line Sportback 5dr Electric Auto Quattro. You can't really tell in the photos but it's a lovely Violet colour. The price includes a fitted charger at home too. There are some great deals out there as electric car take up has slowed down a lot, and the dealer told me they are under pressure to make sure 1 in every 4 cars sold has to be electric. We got loads off the book price and a great deal on our current Audi trade-in so it was a no brainer really. We'll probably be getting it the week after next as it's in stock. The matrix led lights on these are bonkers
