Renault Fluence EV sucking in more electrons.

Bonus Discovery, or what the Americans would call an LR4.

Also bonus Nissan Almera.

I totally forgot about the Fluence. I rejected it coming up on top gear once, I think.

They are pretty much giving them away here in Chile, it’s US$20,500 for a Fluence Z.E and US$37,750 for a Zoe. Although EV’s don’t sell at all it’s pretty crazy how much of a discount they had to make to the Fluence to sell any units. Doesn’t help that when you google the car you get a 1 star review:

There were only a handful sold here and they’ve now disappeared from Renault’s lineup.

I remember almost hitting one that conked out on a roundabout by a petrol station at night. No lights.

Ah, the no lights would be a clue. No electrons left.

Had no chance of finding an electric charging point within 5 miles, must have got a tow.
