    Latest Bosch motor - and it’s not what you’d expect…

    Cmon Ras, thats a generic put down reply with zero content. Would you rather I replaced it with a researched bullet point presentation of the leading advocates and enablers of the EV transition so as not to leave a gap for you to throw in a spitball.
