Vehicle recall – Mercedes-Benz X-Class – 2017 to 2020

I think it’s fair to say that the new Kia e-Niro has caused a bit of a stir. Its 64kWh battery is the biggest currently fitted to an electric car from any of the mainstream brands and if you want to buy one, get ready to join a long queue. Supply difficulties notwithstanding, I managed to […]
