No thanks. EV's are the betamax video of the future. Petrol will be around for a long time yet to come and then we should have progress with hydrogen.

Just a quick one Martin. Got the fog light bracket and an OEM fog lamp all installed and all good. Thanks. Jon

I know looks wise they have only changed the front grille and bumper. But why do the always have to make EV's look so alien? That has ruined the looks of the Gen4.

And whilst I'm at it a lot of manufacturers seem to put the charging port in a lopsided fashion in the grille or somewhere, why not just have it behind the flap where the filler cap would be on the petrol version?

Here in Norway more than half of the cars are EV's. They work great and run much cheaper.
Due to the import tax the 20 or so imported used gen4 Jimnys cost the same as a Tesla model3 long range or a id4 gtx
Suzuki has no EV's in their line up of cars and so the brand is almost dead here.

All my friends has EV's and the hundreds of euros pr month they save on Petrol, pays for their new EV car loan.

Hydrogen will never be. Too costly and energy consuming to produce. Too difficult to distribute.

EV's here in Norway is not the future. It is the present.
