Just a note on the Tenterfield upgrade to V4. The level 2 charger and card readers are to make them compliant with the NSW funding which for this site needs to happen by the end of the year as it was one of the first under the first round. 2 of them also need to deliver 250kw max which is borderline according to the cabinet plaque. See if they turn on this stuff on by then, because the Level 2 and card reader didn’t work when I was there.

Thanks tom, didn't get to view live, 001 would be my pick. But would not pay 80 90 grand, to many other good cars coming. have a nice break.👍

[huntchris]

FYI I upgraded to 1.2 of the software for the seal and tested it out at the v4 supercharger in Figtree given my charger fix. All good!

Great episode. Hey Riz, have you ever thought about a job in marketing Melbourne/ Victoria? 😂😂

[DannChewie]

Missed the stream yesterday! Was picking up an electric mower lol 😂

hi tom you didn’t update about BYD atto3 and seal supercharger fix, in last video you said will update in Wednesday live

[bikersydney]

Any news of the Hay NSW Supercharger? On PlugShare there are photos of the site almost complete. Planning a road trip to Adelaide… 🚗

[jchung]

Have a nice family vacation Tom. While in London do try out one of the 1, 800+BYD electric bus and give us your thoughts!

There's a local with an EX30 that parks on my street FHx plates so very recent. Definitely turned my head (thought it was C40 initially). Very nice, but also very high price tag (same as any other Volvo, Polestar).

[robanzzz]

im very excited for the sealion 07. I read that exact article in the video and they seem to think its range starts at about 550km.

I'm hoping its priced reasonbly well and isn't too expensive otherwise I will just go with the seal sedan.

doh missed the live stream. Did Zeekr mention why they decided not to release 001 as one of their first cars here in AUS (over 10k sales every months in China) but choose the MPV and X (around 300-400 units sold last month) that doesn't do so well at all in China? Both BYD and Xpeng released their best sellers as their initial launch car here, Zeekr seems to be doing the opposite.
