Surprise us! Tell us something surprising about this car?
The sweeping ID light below the interior of the windscreen adds a surprisingly helpful element to navigation e.g. the sweeping left or right for upcoming turns makes driving less stressful in unfamiliar surroundings. Also adds an extra dimension to things like incoming calls so you’re not distracted.
What car are you interested in next and why?
Ford F-150 Lightning Pickup. Would love to try an electric pickup to see how range and handling translate to such a platform.

Garo GLB 22kW – would recommend due to 4G mobile connection and designed for cold Nordic climate.

Fortum (Sweden) – fixed price 12p per kWh.
