2024 MITSUBISHI TRITON DRIVEN, AUSSIE EV CHARGERS DEAD & NEW KIA UTE DETAILS | THE CAREXPERT PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The CarExpert Podcast covers significant developments in the automotive world, starting with new details on the upcoming Kia Tasman ute. Spy shots reveal it will feature rear disc brakes and a leaf-sprung rear suspension, aiming for robust load-carrying capability and potentially a full-time four-wheel-drive system. The interior is expected to be upscale, possibly larger than a Ranger, targeting buyers seeking luxury without the F-150 price tag. The discussion then shifts to the concerning insolvency of Tritium, a local EV charger manufacturer. This raises questions about the future of Australia's EV charging infrastructure and parts availability, despite Tritium being a supplier rather than a network operator. Finally, the team shares initial impressions of the new Mitsubishi Triton. While praised for a much-improved interior and ride compared to its decade-old predecessor, the new Triton is heavily criticized for its overly intrusive and poorly implemented driver-assistance systems, particularly the driver monitoring feature, which significantly detracts from the driving experience.
