This Chinese luxury 4×4 weighs in at a morbidly obese 3110kg, is longer than a Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, and, thanks to its twin-turbo V6 petrol/electric motor combo, delivers a beastly 386kW and 800Nm. The GWM Tank 700 Hi4-T may be a plug-in hybrid, but it’s hardly a poster child for green motoring. In a PHEV.

The main difference between EVs and petrol or diesel cars (ICEVs)vehicles is how they are powered. Volkswagen NZ, for example, sent a mechanic from each of their nationwide workshops to Europe for high-level specialised training courses before their EV range even landed in New Zealand! Why are EV repairs different from regular cars?

Drive Electric analysis done in March showed the reduction in emissions of vehicles imported since the policy came into effect will save more than 2m tonnes of emissions over the lives of those vehicles, and $100m a year in petrol and diesel.
