We don't yet have a pet name for our Ampera, but clearly lots of folks do. So, what's yours called?

We called our Leaf "Charlotte", initially because the voice that comes out of it is very like Charlotte Green's. There were other reasons: I have a very good cycling pal named Charlotte, whose hair at one time matched the red colouring of our car. Another wag off our cycle forum made a derogatory remark about it resembling the cyclist Charlotte because both "thrived on battery power", but he was just being rude.

No names as such, I just refer to the fleet by their registration's last three letters.

So we have:

Oh-em-Dee
Oh-em-Pee
Oh-em-Eee
Oh-em-Ay
...for the LEAFs

then...

Pee-vee-Ex
Pee-vee-Doubleya
Pee-vee-Zed
Ex-aitch-Arr
Bee-en-Jay
...for the i-MiEV's.

Our buggy is called 'Bruce' though, and our departed i-MiEV was called 'Pervy'.
