Many gas car drivers are buying their first EV this week but with so much choice, how do you spot a legend from a lemon?
Even worse... what happens if something goes wrong with the battery? That's why I made this video.
Check out the NZ battery repair at the end!

The algorithms HATED this video and it was restricted (and flopped), but I still think it's a really fun watch. Especially for the electric vs combustion challenges.
Guaranteed enjoyment from this free entertainment or your money back! 😄

Another great video from months ago was this ride-along in a battery powered New Zealand police car. We even pulled someone over for speeding. This easy to watch video actually took MONTHS to organise. 😬

More 300 kW units being installed at ChargeNet's Bombay Hills site.
I count six chargers, meaning there'll soon be rapid charging here for EIGHTEEN clean vehicles at once.
It's a lot like Stonehenge... but useful. 😀
New Zealand has yet ANOTHER new electric vehicle on the market! This is the Riddara RD6 pickup truck. Supposedly it does 0-100 in 4.5 seconds and goes off road... They put all-terrain tires on it for me so let's find out! 😁
My review of the country's newest electric pickup truck is suspiciously well. Even the EV haters are being civil in the comments.
Is this Chinese, battery powered ute bringing us all together at last? Something fishy is going on. 🤨

Wow! New car news! The MG IM6 is now on sale in NZ & Australia in 3 flavours:
IM6 Premium: $66,900 > 450 km WLTP range > 217 kW (RWD) > 75 kWh LFP.
IM6 Platinum: $77,900 > 555 km WLTP range > 300 kW (RWD) > 100 kWh NMC.
IM6 Performance: $89,900 > 505 km WLTP range > 572 kW (AWD) > 100 kWh NMC.
Great to see some really compelling EVs hitting the road.
Legacy automakers take note, you're already too late
Just saw a person writing that they've bought an electric car but asked about how long charging takes, the costs, and if you can just use a trickle charger at home instead of public chargers.
I'm sure you also see these questions often so I put all the answers into this plain-English video.
The Zeekr 7X rapid charges in 13 minutes, costs less than a Tesla Model Y and is coming to New Zealand in just a few weeks. I was at the launch in Australia yesterday and had a bit of fun in one. 😁

lmao so much this
NZ top EVs for July
Time for some #NewZealand EV market stats for July
Model Y breaks 100 again!
💩And.. thats it.💩
Thought these were gonna be $90k and $110k??
At least you don’t need to wear a cheesecutter to drive the latest Gen
Mercedes EQS cracks over 1,000km on a single charge in new Guinness World Record

🎥 It's China vs America today as I put the refreshed Tesla Model Y up against the BYD Sealion 7 to find out which is better.
Only one car can win, so grab your popcorn!
Reminder: it's just a car video and I'm just a human (barely) so go easy on the hatred if your preferred car doesn't win. 😅
The video the world has been waiting for
Drill drill drill!
Got a fresh, new car review of this Chinese-German oddity.
Warning: if you don't share my vids then you can't complain about how long the Allegro EV conversion is taking due to a lack of money. How's that for emotional manipulation? 😄

Now you need a second more casual channel and some merch
Sealion 7
This was a fun road trip. I did more than 550 km on one charge in hilly New Zealand conditions. Not bad.

Stuffs Sealion 7 review
IMO a very cushy luxurious vehicle to own. Gorgeous cabin and very very quiet
I hope they can improve the driving dynamics on it

Honda e:N1
Honda e:N1
#NewZealand pricing for the Honda e:N1 is out and its pretty good
We get just 1 spec/model but it starts at $52k
For that you get a mid size suv with 150kw Front motor and a 68kwh battery with ~500km WLTP range
Fast charging isnt but comparable to the Chinese SUVs in this price range
