Recency bias is a thing I need to consider when reviewing cars but I'm happy to say the electric C Class from Mercedes-Benz Cars Ireland is the best electric Mercedes-Benz I've driven yet and heading towards the top of the list of the premium EV marques. youtu.be/c8rJZL146Qg

This week Nevo was driving the new e408 from Peugeot Ireland. Their new "Flare Green" colour is an iridescent green finish that acts as a "flip" paint, presenting as a deep green in shadows and shifting to a vivid, bright yellow-green in sunlight. 💚 youtu.be/ZQyp95c0AHc?...

Back in the Irish Daily Star today with my "EV Watch" feature. Nevo got some exclusive 1st driving time with the upcoming ID.Cross recently in Amsterdam (so new it's still camouflaged!). Pick up a copy on the way back from your local St. Patrick's Day parade to read my 1st impressions.

With a price starting at €41,995 for the large 84kWh battery and 570km range. Is the updated IONIQ 5 from Hyundai one of the best "bang for buck" EVs available at the moment? Top trim is €48,995 and still gives you all the bits some others have removed 😉 youtu.be/S8DVjJbhU_k?...

This week, I was mostly driving the new bZ from Toyota Ireland. I drove the top trim in Spain last year so it was nice to drive the standard (Sport) trim this time. Up to 567km and priced €42,160 will be tempting for a lot of people. #ev #toyota #electriccar youtu.be/E8DroDh8GTQ
