    I was recently in a Renault / Dacia / Alpine dealership picking up a Megane E-Tech (Which is a brilliant car by the way) I was talking to a salesman about the Spring and he said they have more enquires about that than any other vehicle they sell and he thinks it will sell like hot cakes as long...

    Thoughts/advice on buying electric vehicles.

    Tell us about your electric vehicle
