Q&A - SUPER SELECT 2 & A VITAL EV TEST DRIVE REGO COMPLIANCE CHECK | AUTO EXPERT JOHN CADOGAN

EV Channels Review

This episode addresses viewer comments, focusing on Mitsubishi's Super Select II 4WD system and EV registration compliance. The reviewer clarifies that Mitsubishi's Super Select II allows 4H to be used on high-traction surfaces like bitumen with the center diff unlocked, enhancing safety and reducing wheelspin. Unlike other utes, this system prevents driveline damage on such surfaces. While shifting into 4H is permitted at any speed, the manual specifies shifting *between* 2H and 4H must occur below 100 km/h. The video also highlights a critical EV compliance issue: the absence of the mandatory blue EV triangle safety label on a Polestar's number plates, which can result in fines and demerit points for drivers. The reviewer notes that while the specific car in the thumbnail was photographed during a sticker exemption period, Polestar's subsequent press materials also lacked the label, indicating potential ongoing non-compliance. A public service announcement advises EV/hybrid test drivers to check for these labels before driving.
