Genesis GV60 Sport Plus – Road Test

6th February 2023

The Genesis GV60 Sport Plus pure battery SUV test driven by Robin Roberts (and Miles Better News Agency). To some observers it’s a Bentley, to others an Aston Martin, and some will simply ask what it is as they have never seen a Genesis on the road. Those questions are testament to the design and rarity of the Genesis GV60 pure battery SUV and they are all good points about this premium … [Read more...]

Britain’s EV charging infrastructure – are we nearly there yet? Ask Robin Roberts…

3rd February 2023

The electric avenue is not the fast way to Zero emissions, says Robin Roberts (and Miles Better News Agency). Britain’s electric charging network is shorting, slowing sales of the low emission vehicles and the Government’s drive to a greener future, as well as frustrating drivers. That’s my opinion after testing one of the best new electric cars, the Genesis GV60, over two long trips in a few … [Read more...]

VW ID.4 – Road Test

4th April 2022

The Volkswagen ID.4 77 kWh 204 PS tried and tested by Robin Roberts (and Miles Better News Agency). Volkswagen has played a waiting game and very carefully entered the burgeoning battery car sector with its ID.4. VW has dabbled with small electric versions of its cars beginning with the Up! and its Golf-sized ID.3 hatchback is sold exclusively across Europe, but the larger ID.4 is a global car … [Read more...]

Latest Nissan LEAF – Road Test

7th February 2022

The all-electric Nissan LEAF e+ Tekna ProPilot 62 kWh... …Put through its paces by Robin Roberts (and Miles Better News Agency). Of the 115,087 new cars registered in the UK in January this year one in five were electrified models of some sort, either mild hybrids through to full electric battery models. They are gaining in popularity. How a car holds onto its popularity and value is a good … [Read more...]

Kia e-Niro – Road Test

1st September 2021

The Kia e-Niro3 64kwH is not such a gamble as Robin Roberts (and Miles Better News Agency) found out... Asians reputably love gambling, which goes some way to explain why the South Korean SUV styled 5-door Kia Niro is available with three power options including an all-battery version. But it’s not so much of a gamble to introduce and sell the e-Niro BEV because it’s one of the best of its … [Read more...]
