Welcome to the latest issue of EVs and Beyond!

In the latest issue of EVs and Beyond we take the first drive of Toyota’s all-new Hilux BEV, testing the electric ute on and off the road to see how it stacks up against its diesel and hybrid stablemates.

We also look at BYD New Zealand’s delivery delays, Tesla Cybercabs spotted in New Zealand ahead of possible winter testing, and twelve electrified cars from Auto China 2026 that matter for New Zealand.

Elsewhere in the issue, we cover Lepas confirming the L6 electric SUV for New Zealand, NordEast expanding its Geely, Zeekr and Farizon dealer network, Z Energy moving EV charging beyond the forecourt, and growing interest in electric trucks following recent fuel price shocks.

Plus, we review the Dongfeng 007 Performance and discuss why the Clean Vehicle Standard remains a key issue for New Zealand’s EV market.
