First time in my life I've seen diesel over $4 a litre. This is going to sting for all of us. I wish we'd electrified all our trucks & trains ages ago. I've been saying it for years. 😕

[Gavin Shoebridge @KiwiEV]

If you drive a gas car then a great way to prevent range anxiety is to use a natural, organic VRE (virtual range enhancer) to stop your fuel gauge falling.
I learned this technique from my early EV pioneering days and I'm now passing this info to you as it's your time.

Servicing an electric car be like 😁

[Gavin Shoebridge @KiwiEV]

Getting called "smug" all of a sudden for driving an EV is baffling. Mate I'm not smug. I'm just not stupid.

[Gavin Shoebridge @KiwiEV]

When you get an EV even the grass says YAY! 😃

[Gavin Shoebridge @KiwiEV]

New video just dropped! I help kiwi families buy their first electric car by scouring EV dealerships. Wasn't easy with so many empty lots! 😅

I feel targeted 😅

@KiwiEV Great news. Level 0 for the win.

@KiwiEV Love it! New KiwiEV video on Leaf when?

[Gavin Shoebridge @KiwiEV]

Well, that's ominous. Looks like fuel rationing is already starting in Australia. I fear this oil crisis is going to be big.

If you need a car, then get an EV now before even the cheap, used ones skyrocket in price.

This is your early warning. 🫡

You’re looking at a 27-inch touchscreen… on a BOAT (with a pasty muppet on display). 😅

This ain't a luxury gimmick either. This kiwi-built drive train packs 500 horsepower, 1100Nm of torque, and launches to 100 km/h quicker than a lot of sports cars. On water. Silently.

No engine screaming behind you causing you to shout. No exhaust smell. No $300 petrol bill after a day on the water. Just instant torque and a wall of acceleration that feels completely wrong for something this quiet.
It's crazy cause in my mind boats are supposed to be slow, noisy, expensive, thirsty - or all four. Apparently nobody told Naut, the kiwi crowd who builds these high performance electric drive trains.

🔋 Oh yeah, we also ran into the Vessev guys on the water on their incredible electric hydrofoil and... let's just say some fun ensued. 😜

How is New Zealand kicking bottom so much on the electric boat scene lately?! Makes you freaking proud! Full video out soon!

🚤⚡ This is NZ’s newest electric ferry - and I went where nobody's allowed! 😁

From the bridge to the batteries - even the Hamilton jets - we go behind the scenes of this 200 person, battery-powered beast - even using the country's FIRST MEGAWATT CHARGER!

@KiwiEV You're living the dream 😍

[abmouc89 @ABMOUC89]

@KiwiEV Almost got me 😄 I thought, 'Wow, Gavin's a millionaire!' 2025 was an awful year in many ways for numerous people (nearly everyone I've spoken to can't wait to see the back of it). Looking forward to a more hopeful NY 2026! All the best for all your endeavours in the new year 😊

@KiwiEV AI if it had existed during Mad Men 😄

But seriously, the ubiquity of useless AI has crossed all tolerable limits.

[abmouc89 @ABMOUC89]

@KiwiEV Does this mean an update video's coming soon? 😏

[abmouc89 @ABMOUC89]

@KiwiEV Your house is drop-dead gorgeous, Gav 😃 Don't change a thing!
