When Kerry Dunstan and his partner went shopping for an electric car this summer, one question topped their list: “How’s the battery?” They soon found a 2021 Nissan Leaf with 29,000 miles. The dealer said its state of health (SOH) was still around 93%. That convinced them. For £12,500, they bought an electric car with a spacious boot and enough room for passengers. Dunstan, a cabinetmaker who also owns a stylish electric Volvo SUV, admits he’s not in love with the Leaf. “I like sporty, jazzy cars – and it’s just a bit ‘meh’,” he says. Yet he’s satisfied with…

Lamborghini’s boss says the company’s fans still want the passion, power, and sound of petrol engines. The iconic Italian brand plans to keep them alive for at least another ten years. Shifting focus from electric to hybrid At Lamborghini’s London showroom, chief executive Stephan Winkelmann explained that enthusiasm for electric cars is fading.
