This is what happens when the public has 1500hp under their right foot. Irresponsible.

This is what happens when you sell a car with 1500hp to go on the public roads with no training. Only a scrape but I fear much worse coming. The new Xiaomi SU7 Ultra

This is going out on YouTube later - a sneak peak at how BYDs Gods Eye system actually works on the road in real life…

Are YOU bored of the Zeekr MIX? Want it to be the cutest car ever? Well thanks to the tuning chaps at iAcro, they did this…

I went to BYDs ‘tech day’ last night and here they are casually displaying 29 of their cars…a vast difference to 4 years ago for the factory visit.

I don’t think the IM (MG/SAIC) L6 is selling very well in China. I know a dealer who often unloads cars which are not selling well - he had a lot of Polestar 2s for about $16k. Now he has these L6s for about $21k USD. Base model but brand new. Brutal year ahead for these brands.

This is a super rare spot in China! A KIA EV5 - they are having a big push this year so will be interesting to see how they stack up against the competition.

Want to know the struggle that legacy car companies have in a Chinese mall? Look below…

Real photos of the SC01 out testing in Tianjin over CNY! I’m getting a feeling we might be driving this soon

Updates on the Small Sports Car! It’s just been registered with MIIT - basically meaning its production ready and will likely be launched in the next 6 months as it’s passed government approvals. Name now just ‘01’ and not ‘SC01’. Exciting times!

I guess that’s one use for solar panels

From NIOs most expensive car to their most affordable - the small high end car for global markets- Firefly…what do you think?

Here’s the new NIO ET9 - a Landjet for the road

Elliot @elliotrhys.com · 21/12/2024

I’m at NIO Day to see the launch of the new ET9 and small Firefly brand- there’s 22,000 people here in an arena…what other EV brand has this engaged community?

Sooo @xpeng just sent their first batch of G6 EVs to Australia on the boat this week, at the same time the first Chinese Smart EV brand to reach 10,000 sales in Europe.

Yes it’s a big SUV and it’s PHEV (there is a full EV version) but for about £60k GBP it does full off roading stuff as evidenced by the mud and the massive grin on our faces. Proper wading and locking diffs. Watch out Land Rover. It’s called MHERO…

Elliot @elliotrhys.com · 19/11/2024

Ah yes - I experienced something similar in a NIO.

This year has seen me take on long distance EV journeys - close to 2000km per journey in remote areas of China. It’s been so easy to do with manufacturers own networks as well as state run ones. The only issue has been poor parking etiquette but that’s it. What are your experiences?

This was my first weekend off in months. No driving, no filming, no nothing. Getting ready for this SSR video edit soon.
