Leapmotor just killed the 12V battery! 🙌 The Achilles Heel of many an EV is set to be a thing of the past. Their newly announced CTC 3.0 pack folds the low-voltage supply into the main high-voltage battery. No more separate 12V battery that goes flat or needs replacing every few years.

When manufacturers put large screens in cars, I can’t fathom why they want them out of sight. A lot of functionality will on into that large screen. In the olden days, like this Nissan Qashqai fro 15 years ago, it didn’t matter as much because it displayed the radio station.

2/2 It’s perhaps forgivable in the inexpensive MG, or the cheap-as-chips Leapmotor T03. But in my humble opinion it’s less forgivable in a car that starts at £110,000. Is this for aesthetics? Am I wrong to point it out? Whatever your comments, I’m just not keen! Graeme
