Nous avons pu récemment vivre une semaine au volant de l’Opel Astra Electric. En version Ultimate, elle représente un bon compromis pour ceux qui doivent ou veulent passer à la propulsion électrique sans trop d’inconvénients… à condition, bien entendu, de disposer de panneaux et d’une borne chez soi ainsi que sur son lieu de travail ! …

The Mercedes EQE and EQS gave me a first taste of electric power without any range anxiety, the EQS SUV version leaves me a little sceptical. As a true behemoth, it plays the big SUV card shamelessly, bearing in mind that this kind of vehicle remains very popular with drivers who lacked recognition in their …

Volkswagen’s electrified range is getting larger all the time and will soon be complete. The ubiquitous minibus is now getting a battery too. Such a vehicle is not particularly our cup of tea but we thought it would be interesting to take a look at this iconic vehicle which costs a fortune, by the way. …

The recently-launched BMW X1 second generation range includes an electric version which is simply called iX1. Like its ICE siblings, it is based on the FAAR platform. On the outside, the main differences are its closed radiator and blue bonnet badge. Look a bit closer and you will notice there are no tailpipes under the …
Abarth recently invited us to discover the 500e on the Balocco test track located between Milano and Torino. There, we could drive both the current petrol version as well as the new electric one.It only rained once during that day. Of course, that inevitably favoured the electric car among the attending journalists. The Italians certainly …

Dans le cadre de l’électrification complète de sa gamme qui devrait intervenir dès 2028, Opel vient de révéler la version de série de l’Astra électrique. Elle rejoint les versions thermiques et hybrides, utilisant la même plateforme Stellantis EMP 2, déjà bien connue sous la Peugeot 308, par exemple. Présentée de manière statique lors du dernier …

Stellantis group recently decided to market only electrically-powered minivans (However, recent rumours talk about a return of ICE ones in England and elsewhere) but Renault prefers to develop its Kangoo range and offer petrol, diesel and electric versions.
