Peugeot's introduction to the seven-seat electric car market is this 311-mile, sensibly sized SUV Seven-seat electric cars have been in short supply for some time. Other than a handful of fairly short-range, van-based options, the Mercedes-Benz EQB had the market to itself for some time, with the bigger Kia EV9 arriving only very recently. And now the new Peugeot e-5008 has joined the fray.Based on Peugeot parent company Stellantis's new STLA Medium platform, the e-5008 comes with a nickel-manganese-cobalt battery of either 73kWh or 96kWh in capacity.You can also have a 1.6 petrol plug-in hybrid (with an electric-only range of 48 miles), or a 1.2-litre petrol full-hybrid which we've tested separately.The single-motor 73kWh model is set to become the biggest seller, and has an official range of 310 miles. If range is your priority, then the big-battery version will also be available with a WLTP range of up to 410 miles. There's also the 325 Dual Motor, a performance-oriented 73kWh model which makes 321bhp from a twin-motor, four-wheel drive powertrain. It will only do up to 289 miles on a charge, however. Charging speeds max out at 160kW, which is claimed to be good enough for 62 miles of range in 10 minutes or 20-80% in 30 minutes. Not bad, but also nothing that’s going to worry Tesla, Kia or Hyundai.

Fastned's new hub will be on the Aberdeen ring road Fastned to redevelop warehouse into covered charging station where you can add 100 miles in five minutes Electric vehicle charging company Fastned will repurpose an old warehouse to build the UK's first "indoor drive-through ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging hub". Fastned has been given council backing to redevelop an old industrial unit in Aberdeen into a fully covered charging hub that promises to offer comparable facilities, shelter and refill times to a conventional petrol station.  The hub, located off Virginia Street on the Aberdeen ring road, will have 12 chargers pumping out up to 400kW – which, Fastned says, is theoretically enough to add 100 miles of range in five minutes. However, only a few EVs currently on sale are capable of charging so quickly. The chargers will be arranged in what Fastned calls a 'drive-through' format, which gives a layout like a traditional petrol station - claimed to make parking easier for all types of vehicle and make it quicker to plug them in, in turn reducing turnaround times. The hub – planned to open in late 2026 – will also contain toilets, a shop and a seating area "to keep drivers comfortable while they charge". The existing warehouse structure will be preserved, which will mean the chargers are sheltered from the elements, whereas usually public chargers are out in the open. Fastned says the decision to keep the old building in place also makes this a "sustainable conversion" with a "drastically" reduced environmental impact compared with brand-new charging sites. Fastned UK boss Tom Hurst welcomed Aberdeen City Council's decision to approve the facility and said the firm will "break ground at the site as soon as possible and kick-start this very exciting project". He added: "It’s really a revolutionary approach to EV charging and will transform the charging experience for many customers, especially in a part of the country where the weather isn’t always the best. We’re truly delighted to be supporting the EV transition in Scotland and expanding our network further north." Fastned has opened sites all over Europe since it was founded seven years ago and has already launched a network of charging hubs across the UK, with fast-charging sites in London, Oxford, Birmingham, Leeds, Sunderland and Glasgow.

The Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG features a 355bhp turbocharged engine AMG popped its hot hatchback cherry in inimitable fashion, but do less expensive rivals like the Honda Civic Type R and Golf R deliver greater thrills? You only need to peruse the first-gen AMG A45's specs to see why it lured so many hot hatch buyers away from segment leaders like the Audi RS3 and BMW M135i.This was Merc's first crack at a mega-hatch - it was so potent that a new hot hatch classification was needed - and they came out swinging. With 355bhp and 332lb ft giving a stunning 0-62mph time of 4.6sec the A45's engine was the most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder fitted to a production car at the time of its launch - or so Mercedes would claim (Mitsubishi's 405bhp Lancer Evolution FQ-400).Now, a decade later, you can have it on your driveway for as little as £10,000.We declared the A45 "the performance king of the class". The four-pot delivered such beguiling grunt and mid-range torque that it could blast from 50-100mph far quicker than the RS3 and M135i, with a cacophony of whistles and growls to accompany it.Indeed, the powerplant is a brute, but it's one that can be tamed and still just about deployed on a British B-road without undue concern for your wellbeing or driving licence.Any downsides? The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is a potential bugbear: it can be a bit sluggish when you swap cogs using the paddles, and at times the engine lacks some charisma compared with the five- and six-cylinder units in the Merc's Audi and BMW rivals. That said, the A45 more than makes up for its foibles when it comes to handling: its taut, agile and responsive chassis delivers sports car levels of engagement.You can stick it into a corner with confidence, and it's easy to find a good rhythm when pressing on. There's plenty of traction, too, thanks to the A45's 4Matic all-wheel drive system, although its lack of rear-wheel bias limits its adjustability on the throttle. Early cars weren't the most supple-riding and the gearbox can be unreliable, so we would opt for the facelifted A45 that landed in 2016. Post-facelift examples start from around £15,000, but you will pay more than £18,000 for an immaculate car with 50,000-60,000 miles.It's worth the extra: these later cars have a plusher interior, with a larger 8.3in infotainment screen and Apple CarPlay. AMG also fettled the turbo four to produce 376bhp (it was just enough of a hike to outpunch the 362bhp Audi RS3 that was launched the year before) and fitted a slicker dual-clutch 'box with revised ratios.It's a more polished hot hatch, with an even more communicative drive, a better ride and a frankly monstrous turn of pace. Unlike the current Mk2 A45, the first car was a relatively understated proposition, and only minimally restyled over the standard A-Class. There was an optional Aero pack, though, for the more extroverted enthusiast, and it gained front and rear winglets and a roof spoiler.If you do opt for a post-facelift model, find one fitted with the AMG Dynamic Plus pack, which adds a limited-slip diff to the front axle and adaptive dampers. Pleasingly, the A45 is still the same refined and practical A-Class underneath. The figure-hugging sports seats are comfortable, and the materials used throughout the cabin, alongside the ambient lighting and metal brightwork, give the Mercedes a true premium feel. You would have paid almost £40,000 for that premium feel and searing performance when the A45 was new, but now you can have a tidy example for £15,000. It makes AMG's wild child hard to resist for anyone hunting for a hot hatch.
