Voltaine · £17,995 on the forecourt
Voltaine Leccy
Made for people with a driveway, a heat pump and an opinion
The Voltaine Leccy: a 2022 electric saloon in Socket White, and one of the twelve on the forecourt at Cutshaw & Shutt, on the Radworth Ringway. Quietly smug, as the badge says.
Its advert in the showroom is aimed at people with a driveway, a heat pump and an opinion. Ask Gary about its history and he will tell you: Retired vicar. Church and back, Sundays only.
The advert’s headline is You'll mention it within thirty seconds. It runs on electricity: a 57.5 kWh battery at about 4 miles a kWh, which is roughly 230 miles on a full charge before somebody has to find a plug.
“No petrol, no tax, no noise. Like driving a fridge. A fast fridge.”
“Plug it in at night, wake up to a full tank. Well. Full battery.”
“Silent. Sneak up on people. Great for surprises.”
