I’m honoured to have driven a few Electric Vehicles available in South Africa over the past few years. So, I’ve listed my reviews of them here. A thread 🧵

You know I love my hybrids and EVs akere? Haval is launching the new H6 PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid) and I’ve been driving it around this week. What you get is a setup that pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors to create an intelligent all-wheel-drive configuration. In its flagship Ultra Luxury 4X4 trim, the system generates a combined 268 kW and a massive 760 Nm of torque. Even the entry-level two-wheel-drive derivative offers a respectable 240 kW, placing it near the top of its class for sheer output. When the petrol engine and electric motors work together, the total cruising range exceeds 1000 km (106km electric only). With this model, the brand is targeting drivers who want the silence and efficiency of an EV for the school, errands and office run without the range anxiety when you have to travel far outside of the city. The range starts at R699 900 for the front-wheel-drive model, while the 4X4 variant is priced at R749 900

I’m currently testing an EV. At 55%, the range is at 370km - can you guess which model this is?

I used to think buying a car was just about the monthly payment, but I’ve learned the hard way that there’s so much more to the "true cost." 🚗💨 Before you sign those papers, ask yourself: Can I handle a 20% income dip? What happens if the car is written off? I’ve broken down the 4 essential questions every buyer needs to ask to avoid a financial trap. Check it out: twfld.com/the-four-quest…

The Mazda 3 Astina might be one of the better-looking hatch on the road, but is it the best to drive? We’re diving into the tech, the Bose sound, and the one reason people are still sleeping on this 2.0L. Mazda | Mazda 3 | Mazda 3 Astina

@Katli_T Fly down to Cape Town and get the MacBook there

Conflicted between flying down to Cpt for a good time or getting myself a MacBook 🤔

In China, some residential complexes have already deployed these charging robots, which can theoretically turn every parking space into a charging spot. This "mobile power bank" has a capacity of 100kWh.
