That went well... Christ, what an idiot.
Full review will be live this Friday. It even features that lady from Total Recall. You know the one I mean. πŸ˜„

The embargo is over: the real reason a bunch of car-loving hacks (myself included) were sent to Safe Korea was... THIS!
It's the new Kia PV5 - it's a modular electric van which means it can be made into 16 different shapes, from food vans to motorhomes.
Vid goes live on Friday! It's weird. Like me.

I worked out the cargo version can hold 18,000 spuds.

Join us for a night drive in Korea!
Now that the embargo is over I can finally share the reasonI was in Seoul last week. Richard and I grabbed a brand new Kia PV5 cargo van and went for an hour long blast around the city, even stopping to check out a cool EV charger.

Holy spuds. Talk about hitting the ground running. There are SO MANY new electric vehicles launching in New Zealand right now and my editor has gone on holiday for the month! 😭
I've got two video reviews to write, drive, film + 3 to edit by myself before 5 PM Friday. HEEEELPPPPP!

Make stew while the sun shines! Doing meal prep for the week in my retro kitchen while charging the car - with sunlight! Feels good, saves money too. Can't wait to see my power bill at the end of this month. 😊
If you don't have solar yet, and if your roof allows, you'd be crazy not to get it.

Korea was amazing, and the embargo on the content ends soon, but I'm really happy to be home at my quiet, rural oasis. Today is a day of cleaning and washing and restoring energy for a hectic week ahead with some very interesting (very new) electric cars. 😁

The problem with solar panel videos is that it's hard to make them informative AND entertaining.
That was until I interviewed this guy.
Honestly, this was one of the funniest videos ever. It's worth watching for the outtakes alone! πŸ˜‚ Share it around for the lols!

I'm not a classically trained BMWologist, but surely submerging your iX is potentially sub-optimal? Or sub-nautical...

This is Kukje Electronics Center where I just bought my retro Sony Walkman. It's floor after floor of new and old electronics. Sadly most shops were closed as we got there earlier in the day but if I ever get back to Seoul I'm selling a kidney and coming back here with a suitcase. 😁

Eek. We ran out of time! These trips are so tightly choreographed that we only had a few spare hours this morning. We jammed as much as we could in though.

I think I've just hit peak Korea, cruising through Gangnam in a Korean EV listening to Gangnam Style. 😎

Seen lots of these little things zipping around Seoul. It's a Kia Ray, a domestic EV which looks pretty good for the city. It's like a Korean kei car. It's also got a sliding door on one side and a swing out door on the other.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god, I just found this sweet Walkman at an electronics store in Seoul!
At 40,000 won I had to buy it! 😁

Somehow they're fixing the road in the middle of the city quickly and efficiently with only THREE traffic cones?! NZTA would have an aneurysm. πŸ˜‚

Now this is something different. It's a car elevator with a turntable right here in Seoul. That's pretty smart.

I need to solve a problem. I'm still relatively new to the whole international ​fancy hotel t​hing, and in this ​hotel room they have this box of fancy snacks. I've wanted to eat them for 2 days now, but I don't know if they're free or not. I don't want to be 'that guy', so do I eat them or not? πŸ€”

Just found this slick electric motorbike in a mall in Korea. I don't think it'll fit into my carry-on luggage though...
