Inside the latest magazine:
431km in BYD’s kei car. Gavin Shoebridge flies to Japan to drive the BYD Racco, takes a car built for city streets into the mountains and tries to sleep in it.
XPeng L03 priced. From $49,990, with the PowerX range-extender at the same money and a 520km Long Range EV at $54,990.
XPeng X9. Nobody in New Zealand used to spend $120,000 on a people mover. The fast-charging X9 makes the case.
Zeekr on ice. The 7GT, 8X and 9X at Highlands Motorsport Park and the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds above the Cardrona Valley.
New arrivals and prices. Tesla’s cheapest Model 3 from $54,900, Nissan’s Navara Pro plug-in hybrid ute confirmed for 2027, and Ford cuts Ranger Hybrid prices.
Charging and the grid. Why more plugs beat more power at public charging sites, EECA’s first vehicle-to-grid trial report from Queenstown, and Evnex passes 20,000 home chargers.
Plus: the BYD Shark 6 software fix, the largest used EV battery health study yet, Foodstuffs’ electric truck results, the latest registration figures, and our complete guide to every new and used EV on sale in New Zealand.
