A very smartly presented video.

Would love that in Australia. I live within 30 km from the CBD and my daily commute is always less than 100 km max. Perfect car for me.

I noticed in the brochure specs the ICE version comes with disc brakes all round but the E5 comes with front disc and rear drums. Any reason why?

I’m subscribing solely because of the chuckle he gave me with “cinderella convention” lol

Hi Gavin, That driver attention monitor sure is a tad annoying. The Speed limit assist is also one that needs to be turned off every time. As it's seeing the recommended corner speed signs, then telling you that's the speed limit. The emergency lane keeping is also quite intrusive on a typical twisty, NZ road. I'm selling these, and took one out for a real-world range test yesterday. You can only get the claimed 15.5kw/h per 100km at town speeds. At open road speeds, on hilly + twisty roads, it gets between 20-22kw/h per 100km. So the real-world range is more like 300-350kms on a full charge. Which is comparable to the Atto 3 with the same battery.... I left Frankton with 98%. Did a route south via SH3, SH4, and the SH41 to Turangi. Made it to Turangi with 20% charge. Took 35 minutes on a 75kW DC charger @ Z to get up to 80%. I then took SH1 south back home. Given it was more downhill + a lot more traffic, so the average speed was more like 70ish, the efficiency climbed to an average of 16.8kw/h per 100kms. I made it home with 25% charge remaining. It does handle rather well, and soaks up bumps nicely.

Thanks for taking the time to provide and present a great, factual, and educational vid. Also, thank you for providing metric equivalents. Very helpful.

Once again, this new reporting was incomplete. Automotive News reports a 14% increase in EV USA sales in April after 1st quarter decline, but EV sales in the European Union plummeted 16% year to date according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA). The increase in EV USA sales is attributed to sales incentives of $10K+. Toyota BZ4X is the highest year over year percent change in selling model. The incentives reflect “over capacity” with production outstripping consumer demand as well as the expensive sticker price of an EV. There is consumer demand, but at a lower prices.

Please add in your script as closed captions! That way everything you say will be there. For example, there is no "Fisker" in the autogenerated closed captions.

I drive a Hyundai Kona EV. I had the window down as I drove slowly. I herd a pedestrian say, "It sound just like the Millennium Falcom." 3.3 sec to 100Km/h, How fast to light speed?

What a pleasure to watch your video...jokes just went on and on and on lol

Advanced tech has derailed the affordability of EVs. Thanks to channels like these that promote autonomous driving and the current political environment, mass consumers will not see affordable EVs. A missed opportunity was wasted to save the environment. EVs will grow, but not enough in quantity to save the environment. In the USA, a little of over 1% of light duty vehicles on road are registered EVs. That means that 1% of the population who can afford it, bought EVs, but that is not the demographic that drives the most.

Aptera is niche brand. Beware of high comprehensive insurance as replacement parts will be costly and insurance companies will likely ‘write off” the Aptera in crashes.

BYD Seagull was the answer, but now it is fading fast for consumers around the world with tariffs in place. Gov’t’s have been exposed: Environment be damned, it is about jobs.

made in china

this video is extremely informative but not useful at all as we're still stuck undecided on what to buy.. should we get it for our heart? our brain or our balls.. I meant our garage?😁

14:00 we learned why NZ cricket is so shit. My god, that was an abominable lack of coordination and friends.

Those who want a buggati performance in an atv , only God can save you from your madness 😂😂

Now I want the BYD tech on the MG4 model and rear wheel drive motor, but in Ora's price. Perfect!

Here (Indonesia) you get lifetime warranty for the battery and motor

Really nice and joyful review. I'll take de Atto 3 over this one for sure, but over here where I live (Europe) the mg is much much cheaper than the Atto 3 second hand, so as a second hand car, the mg for sure

outstanding comparison!

ahh feeling 18 again, priceless

I love the Kiwi humor! If the car review gig doesn't pan out, stand-up comedy is always an option.

ارجعو فلوسنا الذي نصبتوها علينا في اليمن وفحطو

It is good but not the best. MINI Cooper SE EV is better. Drives like sport car and is amazing for city.Mind you it is more expensive. Both are perfect for city I bought MINI and am never going back to oilburners.

don't appreciate your anti-Trump comments... like crooked Joe is any better?

This car will lose like 65% of its value in 4 years....CRAZY

Great show but would it be possible to provide metric equivalents give that NZ has been metric for a long time and so is a fair chunk of the rest of the world

The Rivian you can now service the battery in position. Replace the bms separately, were as some you have to replace the whole battery. Interesting its hardly mentioned, I dont think this right to repair is of any Interest to journalists or wealthy new buyers. Personally congratulations Rivian.

The EV enthusiasts keep stressing home charging to circumvent charging times that they ignore the urban apartment city dwellers. It is fine and dandy if you live in a home with a garage and with a charger. The Chicago disaster last winter highlights the EV issues in a dense urban environment. Watch Cash Jordan’s YT video on EVs which reveals the issues for EV owners in New York City. EVs have to be accessible to all or it will fail massively.

Always get an Anti Tesla/Elone is bad feel from this channel

Geoffrey Moore wrote a book on Crossing the Chasm. To cross the chasm from Early Adoptors to Early Majority, the product or new technology had to be designed to appeal the masses. In EV’s case, mainstream consumers want an EV that has the convenience and familiarity of an ICE vehicle. This includes the time to replenish the energy for a vehicle. The time that it takes to recharge a EV should be the same as filling up an ICE vehicle for it to appeal to the masses. If this can be achieved, this would mean fewer chargers and gas stations could be viablly converted for charging EVs. The narrator likes to put labels on critics as “naysayers” , but some of those critics have valid points for charging EVs.

This narrator only cherry picks reports favorable to EVs. Case in point is this week’s report from Autoline Network. In the report, the McKinsey survey reveals that 46% of US EV owners want to go back to ICE vehicles.

I don't mind you saying "convicted felony" in relation to Trump but balance would have been "Genocide Joe" Biden. In fact Biden's Transport Secretary was given Billion$ to administer the building of an EV charging network and thus far they have done nothing. A combination of cluelessness, laziness and sheer corruption.

Thanks! Nice episode. Interesting.

Good show, what is the link of the guy doing a nissan leaf conversion?

How about FsD.

Finally, every NZ citizens will be owned by Chinese products, CCP will rule NZ , NZ will gladly accept their master Xi Jing Ping..

Auto steer technology is not expensive! My Honda Civic 1.5 sport from 2021. has it, and it cost 27.000 EUR (around 30.000 USD). This is much more expensive, and it doesn't work...

Adorable car!

People keep talking about range because although they've bought EVs they never bought into the EV lifrstyle. Evs arent meant to be driven all day to get you from A to B; they are meant to be stopped and charged at random locations along the way so you can have a few hours to spend to support the local economy.

The part 135 isn't for its evtol craft. They couldn't use it with that craft and has nothing to do with it. It can only be used with certified airplanes and helicopters. They just got it for deceptive marketing. They want people like you to say they got it for their archer midnight craft.

BUT HOW MANY POTATOES?!

How much is the electric bike has free wheels

Why oh why did I NOT win lotto? It's a shame it isn't able to switch to 2wd to increase efficiency. 21kwh per 100km seems pretty poor. Surely it does better in eco mode for around town use ?

There is a very common misconception about the 'Rated' or WLTP consumption. This is the amount of energy that must be put INTO the battery to achieve that 100km of distance, which is around 15% higher than the 'vehicle consumption' that is shown on the dash. Vehicle consumption is how much comes OUT of the battery, not how much you must put in. If you want to compare your car against WLTP you must go to a charger and measure its consumption. Your 16.4 kWh/100km would be around 18.9 kWh/100km WLTP equivalent, significantly above the 16.9 quoted by VW. That said, it is a good figure and am looking forward to seeing same in the West Island.

All of the off road tests of the Solterra I have seen are with the OEM all season tires. For a real off road test, these should be replaced with all terrain tires. I installed Falken Wildpeak Trail AT tires, 235/65 R18, which are a little larger and add about 0.5" ground clearance, and this combination is great off road. On the Arizona trail rating system, your test has been a rating of 4 (moderate to easy), and I have driven my Solterra on 4 rated trails with the OEM tires. After installing the AT tires, I have been on a 5 rated trail and it did great. The test I would like to see would be to drive a Solterra with OEM tires on a more difficult trail and get it stuck. Then, install the AT tires and see if it gets stuck at the same place. Until you have driven an off road vehicle to where it gets stuck, you really don't know what it can do. azoffroad.net/trail-ratings

Gee Gavin, dissing Tesla and Apple fanboys in the same review. You're a thrillseeker mate 😂.

Ow Much!!?? 😂
