The one with The electric cars
Series 17, Episode 6 (Series 17)
If electric cars are part of our driving future, they need to function as... well, cars. Jeremy and James set off to the seaside in a Nissan Leaf and a Peugeot iOn. Richard lets loose in the Lamborghini Aventador, while our star in a reasonably priced car is X-Factor UK's lovable bad guy Louis Walsh.

how about a generator connected to the electric motor, the same way as it is connected to the hybrid to charge when driving?
