I drove the G series a lot when I was in the military service in the north of Norway in 1990. It was a very functional off-roader, but very cheap inside with a lot of hard plastic. Incredible to see that the model is still on the market as a luxury cult-car.

I must say that it is quite remarkable how decommissioned military spec M-B/Puch G's can hold their value. Very difficult to find 35+ year old, running SWB 230 il4 examples for under 10K Euros. Then again, these vehicles are as rudimentary as can be ,and hence, there is little if anything that can really go wrong with them. 4 wheeled cockroaches.

It's clearly not that model. The only thing the same is the name.

Charging speeds are getting ridiculous in China.

• Chinese EV brand Zeekr has boosted the 001 wagon's voltage from 800 volts to 900 volts for its mid-cycle refresh.
• Thanks to the extra voltage and new battery cells the car can now charge at over 1 megawatt.
• For context, America's fastest-charging EVs typically can take 300-400 kilowatts, or around a third of a megawatt.
