Should you buy a new 76-plate EV or a bargain used one? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new 76 registration plate arrives tomorrow and, although I’m not sure a new number plate has quite the pull it once did, I’ll still notice the first one I see. When I was a lad and plate change day was once a year on August 1, I’d compile a written list of the number of new-reg cars I’d seen that day and compare year-on-year. Yes, I was that kid! Even when we moved to the twice-yearly plate change every September and March it was a really big deal in the car world, with buyers waiting for th
Jaguar is causing controversy again â hereâs why (opens the original)

Jaguar has revealed the interior of its new Type 01 and, judging by some of the reaction on social media, youâd think it had fitted the thing out with deckchairs and lino. I posted some pictures and video of the interior and asked what people thought. Plenty hated it â maybe thatâs just the type of people who want to have their say on social media, but there were definitely some themes. The lack of buttons came in for criticism.

This time it’s Zeekr, the Chinese premium electric car company that sits within the vast Geely empire alongside Volvo, Polestar, Lotus and a growing collection of other car names. Zeekr is already established in several European markets and will come to the UK with some serious cars, serious technology and, you can safely assume, serious ambitions. It isn’t arriving to sell cheap and cheerful runabouts, either. Zeekr is
Inside the deals bringing Chinese carmakers into Europeâs factories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chinese car makers are no longer content simply to sell us their cars. Theyâre moving into European factories, forming partnerships with some of the continentâs most famous manufacturers and, increasingly, getting involved in the cars wearing those famous names. Should Europe welcome the investment â or be checking whatâs hidden inside? I was sitting in a Las Vegas cinema enjoying some air conditioning and Christopher Nolanâs brilliant new epic The Odyssey in glorious 70mm when news br
