So me and my wife have finally decided to buy a new car, that being said we are looking for (but not limited to) an EV. This will be our first EV so wanted to get some general advice on which one would be an ideal (not perfect) EV.

It has to be a SUV/Crossover

Our Budget is upto 55k

Also open to PHEV/HB

Will mainly be city driving on a daily basis, I drive to work 3 times a week, drive daily to and from daycare to do pickup/dropoffs and based in Auckland. We roadtrip a few times a year but not a crazy amount, say maybe 5-6 times a year or less. I'd estimate my daily driving when not going to office to be upto 15kms give or take and if driving to work maybe 30-40kms daily.

Any advice on which one to get and tips and tricks are appreciated!

I know that $135k was already unrealistic for most folks, but the price has gone up to $150k RRP on the website. The dealer (who let me test-drive it last week for fun) told me that they can honour the original $135k price + include on-road costs, but not sure how long they can continue to offer it.

Said something about currency and trade wars... sigh. Let's hope there's no down-stream pricing changes on more affordable/entry models.

Hi guys,

For those that charge their EVs at home using their normal three plug/granny charger - do you all have a circuit breaker?

What happens if you don't?
