Kia’s latest EV is here… meet the EV4 ⚡️

With up to 391 miles of range from the EV4 Air trim and a sleek, modern interior, this electric hatchback could be a game-changer for Kia.

But it’s the exterior design that’s got everyone talking… 👀

So we’ll leave it up to you:

Is the Kia EV4 an underrated gem… or an ugly duckling?

Let us know! 👇

This car is hiding a secret in plain sight 👀

The Polestar 4 ditches the rear window for a high-mounted camera + digital rear view mirror - unlocking more headroom and a sleeker design.

Clever engineering or a gimmick?

@snoopakabigbird That's great to hear!

You know electrification’s here to stay when the police are out in a Tesla 🚓⚡️

We’ve already seen emergency EVs charging at our sites – from ambulances to patrol cars. More fleets are going electric, and public charging infrastructure is keeping up.

Next up: electric fire engines? 👀🔥

[InstaVolt @InstaVoltUK]

@Gigabitworld We are based in the UK, so we haven't seen any! Great to hear that other countries already have them in service 🚒

The Tesla Cybertruck has (sort of) landed in the UK 👀🇬🇧

You can’t legally drive it here, but we got up close.
🛡️ Bulletproof?
📉 Why it’s banned in Europe
🔋 Range, performance

Full breakdown coming soon 👇

What’s your honest take on the Cybertruck? 🤖

[InstaVolt @InstaVoltUK]

It’s not true! 🛑

A new study shows just how powerful misinformation can be, with correcting EV myths making 12% more likely to consider going electric.

⚡️71% still worry about range - even though most EVs now do ~300 miles & there are 85k+ charge points across the UK

💸 62% worry about cost - yet used EV prices are down 20% since 2023, with more affordable models + new grants now live
