I'm sure this will handle beautifully, I'm only unsure about the ride on those 19" wheels over our terrible roads in the UK, hopefully it can manage to capture some of the compliancy of the A110, which I'm hoping will be a defining factor of all Alpines.

I only want to feature it when I know I'm definitely starting the car, but that seemed like the best opportunity. Not sure if it's cool enough for a feature but I've got magazines with it on rally stages the Nissan plant up in Sunderland used it for promotion, a famous Japanese racing drivers son imported another one on the same ship which was done to group A spec and I have a video interview with one of the marketing guys at Nissan who picked it up from the docks in 1990. I believe it to be the first Super Turbo into the UK. Just think its story deserves to be told it's very long-winded.

Serious question: I have been seeing a trend of the smaller the battery the slower the charging speed. 50KWh batteries seldom get charging over 100kw. I have been dabbling in EVs since 2013 and apart from slightly thicker cables and different controller these cars could get 125 to 150 kw without much mark up. My thoughts are because of the smaller battery you need to charge more often so you want to reduce that time. Maybe I am missing something though… Our Jeep Appendage (I daren’t call it an Avenger) has the same set up 11KW AC and 100 KW DC.

That's just a limitation of the technology. If you have a bigger battery each cell charges slower, so you can pump up the speed. It's the same reason why you can't charge your phone at 100KW
