MGS6 EV review, Porsche’s most powerful model ever, Jeep Recon revealed and new government EV funding
Matt puts the MGS6 EV through its paces this week — MG’s bold new electric SUV and a direct challenger to the Skoda Enyaq. He and George also take a look at some seriously muscular new EVs, including the Porsche Cayenne Electric, the 641bhp Jeep Recon, and the UK-bound Denza Z from BYD’s ultra-premium brand.Balancing the madness, the pair explore the Nio Firefly, a far more sensible compact hatch that could be the next big rival to the Renault 5. There’s also news of another £1.3bn going into the Electric Car Grant — but is the money being spent in the right place?
