Finally, updates on the Fisker Ocean's detailed specifications and leasing options, and the opening of Mercedes-Benz's EQV order books in Germany, are presented. The mailbag segment features a positive owner review of the VW e-up! (or similar models like Skoda Citigo e iV and SEAT Mii electric), praising its range and one-pedal driving.
