THE EV SHOW BY LUDICROUS FEED ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

EV Channels Review

The EV Show by Ludicrous Feed covers a range of EV news, with a significant focus on new model approvals and releases in Australia. The discussion around the BYD Seal 7 highlights its ADR approval with two variants: a 230kW RWD and a 160kW AWD. A key point of contention is the 82.5 kWh battery for both, mirroring the UK's non-BEV battery, while the UK received a larger battery option. Towing capacity is also noted as a potential drawback, with the AWD variant rated at 1500kg, less than the Tesla Model Y's 1600kg. The Kia EV3's ADR approval is also discussed, noting its potentially higher price point due to South Korean manufacturing, despite its large 81 kWh battery. The show also touches on the upcoming Xpeng X9 and Zeekr 7X, with the latter impressing with its dynamic handling, influenced by Lotus and Porsche, and its premium features, though Australian market specifics remain uncertain. Charging infrastructure news includes the rollout of 500kW Blueberry DC chargers and the ongoing expansion of Tesla Superchargers, with a critique of the lack of universal tap-and-go payment options.
