I'm at an age where I feel the same about many things in life. Black, sleek and minimalist is so boring and blends into the background.

Just this morning I purchased these car mats for my black, korean-spec-tinted people carrier electric van:

Funny how the world works. People once bought cheap children’s play carpets and cut them up as car mats out of poverty. Now people pay €75 to get that same look.

On sidenote: I'm quite interested in the PV5 and have only seen one in the wild so far. How is it for you? And how is the range in practice.

		I've had mine for about two weeks and I love it. It's absolutely massive inside, like a tardis. It drives like a magic carpet and it's got more than enough power for it's size. It's replacing a 2019 Hyundai Kona EV, and the ride quality and comfort is night and day. It's got a very tight turning circle so it's surprisingly nimble in tight spaces. I have not really had the chance to properly test range, but it's not going to be amazing. It's reporting about 6.1km/kWh average at the moment, with about 50% motorway driving not really exceeding 110km/h. I'd expect no more than 350km. I rarely drive it 100%-0%, so real world (80-20) is probably 300km max. I might be underestimating the range if I do some math though! I live in Ireland, so that is an absolute massive amount of range for roadtrips. My Kona did about 6.5-7.5 depending on the season. If you have a family, even a small one, then I reckon this is a no brainer. The price is ridiculous, and in my books it beats out an SUV in almost every category except maybe offroading. Go test drive one!
