--- Quote ---The tiny electric car that’ll take you to the office and back ... for £20 a month
Between rail strikes and record fuel prices, getting to the office has become one of the most onerous parts of the work day.
Electric cars are cheaper to run, but still carry a hefty upfront price tag, which grew this week as the Government scrapped its £1,500 grants.
For those who don’t fancy braving the elements on their bike, the new Citroen Ami will take you as far as the office and back on a single charge for the price of a mobile phone contract. It just won’t get you there very fast.
Technically a quadricycle rather than a car, because of its tiny 6kW motor and maximum speed of 28mph, the Ami is now available in the UK for just £19.99 a month to lease, with an upfront deposit of £2,369.

--- Quote ---Greece recruits world’s slowest electric police cars
Meet the police car you can almost outrun in a school zone, now on duty on the small Greek island of Chalki.
While the Ami might only be capable of 45km/h – and 70km of electric range from a 5.5kWh battery – it shouldn't pose a problem on the Greek island, as the longest drivable distance between two points (according to Google Maps) is just 10.1km.

--- Quote ---British woman raped in Crete says her father ‘100% did not do it’ after police charge him
‘He’s the best dad in the world,’ the woman said as she accused local police of going after the wrong man
A British woman raped on holiday in Crete has criticised local police after they charged her father with the attack.
The 33-year-old accused authorities of allowing her rapist to “roam free” after her father appeared in court in the capital Heraklion on Tuesday. He reportedly pleaded not guity to charges of rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence after he was arrested on Saturday.
Police claim the man made lewd gestures towards his daughter in a bar last week and hit her before raping her on a beach.
But the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says her father was in their hotel at the time and she is “100 per cent convinced” CCTV evidence and DNA will prove his innocence.
