He was a passionate voice for motoring and consumer rights. Quentin dedicated his life to sharing his love for cars and helping people understand them, from classic combustion to modern electric. His kindness, intelligence, wit, and warmth will always be missed. Rest in peace, Q we love you.

@dailytelegraphnews.bsky.social story on electric car fires fails to mention that as a percentage, 242 EV fires out of 1.4 million EVs on U.K roads is 0.016%. Hardly an epidemic…..

The UK’s growth of high speed electric car charging super hubs is impressive with size, scale, customer facilities and a hybrid mix of power sources, solar, battery and grid. All built with private capital without government subsidy.

In Europe sales of EVs are up 26.1% since February last year but, critically, sales of petrol and diesel cars have fallen 10% across the bloc in the same period. U.K. Germany and France are now the major EV markets in the region.

In the U.K. in February combined new EV and hybrids outsold petrol. Consumer behaviour is beginning to change.

VW have teased photos of its $20,000 small EV due in Europe in 2027. Get the looks, tech, interface and image right and it could become the China EV challenger that everyone has been waiting for.

In the U.K. January saw record breaking sales of new EVs. In a month when auto sales are usually slow this was the best January ever for battery electric cars.

Car giant @stellantis.bsky.social has hit the ZEV mandate for this year selling 39,000 electric cars and vans - up 59% on 2023. They warn that the govt needs to support private buyers and make it easier for them to transition to EVs.

Awesome line up of Mercedes through the ages at the UAE 1000 Miglia. And touch wood, they’re all performing perfectly in 30 degrees.

First day of the UAE 1000 Miglia and our trusty 1989 Mercedes 560SL may have sprung a water leak. Only 800 miles to go.😎

Dusting down a brace of McLarens with a vacuum. What a wonderful dilemma to have.

Dubai, a mega city built in 20 years. There’s much the U.K could learn about building infrastructure from the UAE.

A 1961 Bentley H.J Mulliner Park Ward Flying Spur Continental converted to battery power! Whether you like the idea or not, the workmanship from Silverstone based Lunaz is totally exquisite. Tell me what you think about conversions like this?
