A bit of watery fun with a MG ZS EV!!

[TassiedEVil]

For those Australian owners/drivers/interested spectators, this is a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun regarding our PM's comment about EVs 'ruining the weekend'. Apparently there is even a Facebook group devoted to his anti-EV sermon - which he denies. Whoopsie.

I think EV’s are pretty good with water. Very well insulated. There does appear to be a general anti-EV sentiment in Australia - I wonder what it is? Maybe long distances and lack of charging infrastructure?

 

[TassiedEVil]

Both of those- and we have an extremely active fossil fuel lobby...

Brought to mind that car chase scene in “The Italian Job” - if you don’t have time for the 10 minutes of driving, fast forward to 4’20” for their drive across the long causeway.
Now, I just need to find a few other MG ZS EV owners who might be willing to do a re-enactment ?

The water doesn't even come past the sill ?

I am pretty sure this is his "driveway" and he does the dirt road and crossing every time he goes out!

Could be! I know our driveway gets a bit like that but needs multiple drone camera angles to reveal its true beauty. But probably more mud than artistic water plumes?

I won't do this, although I know my ZSEV can do

Great to see an oz perspective on the podcast today. I have friends just out of Cygnet.
I can assure you it's not just Tassie where you can feel a bit alone with an EV. Northern Rivers NSW is pretty light on except for all the Teslas in Byron. I keep seeing quite a few of the petrol ZS around but yet to spot a ZS EV in the wild. This forum certainly provides some community.

We had a weekend away (middle of the school holidays) - not a great distance but first expedition, had a ball, watching the rain through the roof and rolling through the Mornington Peninsula hills. With friends, curious about noiseless EV, spotting lots of EVs, mostly Tesla's. Petrol about $1.70, so just laughing ?

I know that area - beautiful scenery (and a few wineries from memory) - sounds idyllic and so close to Melbourne!

Thanks ChrisR - similar here - I see at least one T...a when we're out, but like you yet to spot MG ZS EV 'in the wild'(excellent turn of phrase!!). We'll get there eventually....

We're starting to see a few more ZS EV's, since we picked ours up in Nov, around us near Springwood in Brisbane. Even have a twin at local charger occasionally.

Yay!! Yet to see another one here yet- feeling like a rare species ?
