      Jaguar F-PACE P400e underlines the need for e-car policy revamp

      If an extended road test in Jaguar’s swish, visually striking F-PACE has revealed one overriding fact, it’s the timeliness of the Evening Standard’s Plug It In campaign, which sets out the road to an e-car future. It is a plug-in hybrid, so propelled by the combination of a potent 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a powerful electric motor. Unlike a self-charging hybrid - think Toyota Prius - the clue to the difference with plug-in hybrids is in the name; to harness the benefits they must be charged up by cable, as self-charging is only minimal.

      Back to the 1990s: how ostentatious car modification is making a comeback

      The Covid pandemic is responsible for many things, not many of them good. But one positive seems to be an increase in the popularity of modifying cars. Whether it’s companies supplying parts to tweak them mechanically and style-wise, insurance to cover those that have been expensively modified, or events to celebrate the scene around them, all are booming.

      UK’s rarest cars: 1971 Triumph 1500, one of only 84 left on British roads

      Some cars are unfairly overshadowed by their more flamboyant brethren, such as the Morris Mini-Minor and the motorsport-linked Cooper S. The same applies to the Triumph 1500 compared with its sportier Dolomite stablemate. Yet, the former once occupied a niche for motorists who wished to combine tradition with BMW aspirations and an East Cheam income.

      This Volkswagen family campervan is the Swiss army knife of vehicles

      I’ve always fancied a campervan. Not a motorhome – those behemoths are too bulky and awkward for my liking. But campervans seem to be the sweet spot, with all the comforts that you miss when camping in a tent: proper chairs, a table that doesn’t fall over in a strong breeze, heating, a fridge and a proper bed. Something that you can park easily in a normal car park yet also use as everyday transport.

      The wasteful absurdity of ULEZ scrappage schemes

      Cars and vans pollute our cities with toxic fumes. We can argue – endlessly – about how much of the dirty air in British towns comes from vehicle exhausts, the extent to which these chemicals and particulates are causing respiratory diseases and how much responsibility for this lies with individuals. But, in general, it’s fair to say that driving petrol and diesel cars in towns is contributing to pollution, which is making people ill.
