Drove one at the last NEVO show, and it was very impressive. Felt very refined. Can’t understand why they (Stellantis) can’t put frunks on their EVs - the usual explanation is that they’re multi-fuel platforms. Doesn’t make sense - they’ve done enough changes to make the car an EV, a bit of plastic for a frunk shouldn’t be too much effort. Anyway - great review as usual.

Great review Caroline the one thing no car reviewer has mentioned yet about EVs is the secondhand market the batteries in these cars have a lifespan just wondering what the future holds once these cars get old

Good question Paul and thanks for the note. Opel‘s battery warranty is 8 years or 160,000 km for at least 70% of the original charge capacity. Opel also interestingly quotes independent studies on its website that estimate ‘you can drive 250,000, even up to 500,000 km with the battery of an electric car’. It will take time to build consumer confidence in EVs and their longevity, repair costs etc

🎉❤ , très bonne présentation. C'est vrai que c'est un excellent produit mais un peu trop chère en apparence. Dans la réalité, le vendeur vous fera un très bon prix . Par contre il est très aisé de consommer beaucoup moins . Dès mon premier essai sur 10 km autour du salon de Lyon j´ai réalisé seulement 12,2 kWh/100 km , et sur un plus long de 105 km elle a fini à 10,1 kWh/100 km. À bientôt joli cœur.
