Published: July 12th, 2012

An anonymous reader sent us these Erlkoenig photos. Apparently, they show a car in full leather get-up.

Since we have no idea what it is, we ask you for help.

What car?
Where taken?

  @ellomdian Nice! As a W124 driver I recognized the hood arc line as '80s-era Mercedes but couldn't quite place it. You, sir, have excellent taste in cars :)

Going with an alternative guess to the Mercs: Next Gen Nissan Maxima.

MKizzy Why else does range matter? Because in the EV advocate's dream scenario of a post-ICE future, the average multi-car household will find itself with more EVs in their garages and driveways than places to plug them in or the capacity to charge then all at once without significant electrical upgrades. Unless each vehicle has enough range to allow for multiple days without plugging in, fighting over charging access in multi-EV households will be right up there with finances for causes of domestic strife.
