Ep 108: Why everyone hates the Ferrari Luce… and loves the Renault 5

Ep 108: Why everyone hates the Ferrari Luce… and loves the Renault 5

Ferrari has finally shown its hand with the upcoming Luce EV – and the internet has had thoughts. Lots of them. In this week’s Kilowatt Half Hour, Ginny, Vicky and Mike dive into the fierce reaction to Ferrari’s first electric car, asking whether the criticism is justified or if we’re all judging too soon.


Away from Maranello, the team catches up on the latest cars they’ve been driving, including the Alpine A290, Skoda Elroq, Renault 5 and Renault 4, plus a brief encounter with a diesel Transit. There’s also a look at BYD’s reported interest in Formula 1, some cracking EV bargains in the new and used markets, and another Electric Virgin success story as a listener takes the plunge with a brand-new Renault 5.


As always, we tackle your comments, questions and hot takes – from charger etiquette and Chinese challengers to retro-inspired Citroëns, automatic-only licences, and whether Mercedes has completely lost the styling plot.


All that, plus the week’s favourite comment and plenty of automotive moaning along the way.
