The Week 1407

Sorry, I forgot the CotW :-  Electric Vehicle behind a 50% reduction in carbon (6,3).  I can only think of ESTATE CAR, but that doesn't seem to take account of "Electric".

Bum-per car

As it's so quiet in crosswords...

behind = BUM

a = PER

50% reduction in carbon = CAR(bon)

Electric Vehicle = Bumper Car

(I'm not bored really 😊)

You are - admit it!  😉

Ok, ok, ok - I must be, because I'm answering Spectator questions, when I usually steer well clear, (especially of one certain poster), until I've done it. 

Might be a very, very early night here.
