They might also want to avoid carparks. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

Seems they are teething problems or gremlins with the EV concept. Wonder if they will be able to pin it down and eliminate it. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Apparently the jeeps have just carpet over the top of the battery where the re seat passengers are.

Any off gassing from the battery goes straight inside the vehicle and also they will have a front row ticket for the fire then explosion…..great design.

If cars hadn’t been invented and I tried to make my fortune introducing them I wouldn’t get very far:

“How does it work?”
“Firstly, you get a container of about 50 litres of the most flammable liquid known to man, put it on wheels and sit on it”
“And then?”
“Well, you can get this contraption to travel at high speeds by vapourising this liquid so it’s even more flammable, then ignite it to make it explode”
“Yeah, I’ve heard quite enough, get out of my office!”

But here we are…
