Other potential applications include recharging off-road e-bikes or remote control gadgets, running power tools or even powering a boot sale stand. The possibilities are endless but, alas, not without cost. For example, the GV70’s V2L adapter costs a cool £880.

The news stories that shaped the car industry this year

Our favourite cars of 2024: Toyota GR Yaris Evo
You don’t have to drive fast to have a good time. Case in point: my outing in the revamped Toyota GR Yaris Evo was the most fun I’ve had in a car this year, and I never even got out of second gear. In my defence, I was on a frozen Finnish lake. That sheet… Continue reading Our favourite cars of 2024: Toyota GR Yaris Evo

It’s an exercise in excess, a wilful dismssal of the concepts of etiquette and good grace. There are those who will decry the G-Class… Continue reading Our favourite cars of 2024: Mercedes-Benz G-Class Electric

Our favourite cars of 2024: Microlino
On a purely subjective basis, the Microlino might not be my favourite car of the year – if you’ll permit me to stretch the oxymoronic to the point of… well, maybe just moronic. This quirky runaround, this Isetta reincarnate, is a good laugh – obviously, look at it – but it’s not the most fun… Continue reading Our favourite cars of 2024: Microlino
