EVtalk magazine is available for download now!
You’ll get a charge out of reading our September issue of EVtalk.
We check out the Mercedes-Benz EQC electric – the brand’s first, and there’s a review of the Hyundai Kona Electric. That’s followed by a new Kona EV owner’s summary of his drive to Wellington after picking the SUV up in Auckland.
Our EV champs feature in a wrap of the successful EVworld NZ expo in Auckland.
EVtalk’s stand there showcased the Jucy prototype electric campervan. Among guests we interviewed in the van were Electric Vehicle Council Australia chief executive officer Behyad Jafari.
He featured in an industry conference session titled Trans-Tasman EV collaboration – Is Australia holding us back?
Jafari doesn’t pull any punches on why Australia is lagging in EV uptake and cites New Zealand as an example to follow.
The EVworld NZ theme continues in our Micro EVs section, which includes the winner of the show’s electric bike – his first.
Also in this issue are opinion pieces by ANCAP Safety chief executive James Goodwin about autonomous technology – much of which is already here, and Kit Wilkerson, on behalf of ITS NZ, gives his take on Japan moving to be the first to introduce “flying cars” to its transport system.
In other stories, ABB aims to help Electrify America with its EV chargers.
Yoogo Share launches in Auckland after success with its car share service in Christchurch, and Hyundai NZ features in our section on companies committing to electrification of their fleets.
