Mercedes back to blazing a trail

A noted critic of electric cars, but this month Andrew Frankel can only heap praise on this CLA EV... BMW take note!

It seems to me that the motor industry and its customers are somewhat out of step. It’s nobody’s fault and hard to see how it could be avoided, but just as electric cars are starting to find their feet, those who should be buying them have lost interest and, thanks to some fairly rubbish early product and entirely inadequate infrastructure, I can’t say I blame them. But it seems that manufacturers are now realising that slick design is not enough for the latest generation EVs and that they also need to think what goes beneath and not just produce cars with no range, inelegant power delivery and all the appeal of treading on something a dog left behind.
