      if the one in the photo with the German plate is the one he arrived with and not one that Kym find on the internet, I don't think it's his but a loan from Honda, because if I'm not mistaken Yuki lives in Italy (in Ravenna in theory). Here in Italy, if you are resident, you cannot drive your own cars that have non-Italian number plates. It is a new rule that they have put in place for a couple of years because many foreigners had foreign insurance. So either it is a loan from the company or it has just been bought abroad (in Germany) and has yet to register it in Italy (it has time for a few months to register it). But I think it is still owned by the company because this is the only way you can avoid registration. I know that Yuki was recently filmed here in Milan driving a big car (maybe a large hammer)

    "Electric cars don't need a radiator." They actually do have radiators to cool the batteries and electric motors. They just aren't as large and don't need as much airflow as an ICE car. You'll actually be surprised to know that a lot of electric cars have a grille of sorts lower to the ground that has flaps controlled by servos to open and close it. Most of them also have a heat pump to serve as climate control, and those have 2 "radiators". Except instead of water flowing through them it is refrigerant.
