Model 3 Performance. Yes it has the big battery, Yes it’s 4WD, yes it is NZ New, Yes it has Full Self, Yes it has track mode, Yes it’s the best value in NZ, Yes you can own it! #model3performance #christchurch

Part 2.

Will Jordan stop to charge the ATTO 3? I guess it’s time to find out if he’s more like Rob than he realises.

Watch the conclusion to this instalment of Joyrides With Jordan next in part 3.

Someone else should buy an EV from us so that one of our boys can drive it out of town to you so that we have more of these videos. It’s worth the $$ for the entertainment alone.

2019 Model 3 is back!!! This was a cool design that still holds up to this day and this one looks like she’s been kept in a vacuum sealed bag for the past 6 years.

(It being an “older” model means you can slap the “I bought this before Elon went crazy” sticker on it and no one would know you got it today 😉)

Jordan Wyatt, our token vegan, Tesla devotee (a daring stance in todays world) and a bachelor made of smiles and kindness is back to take us on another joyride in this new instalment of Joyrides With Jordan.

This time Jordan drives a BYD Seal Performance from Chch to Nelson without stopping to charge (as per Rob and Dave’s challenge to him). Join Jordan as he weaves through the hills and highways in a car that’s considered the number 1 competitor to his famously adored Tesla Model 3 Performance.

Video in 3 seperate parts OR watch it in full on our YouTube channel.

We could tell you who we are in an “About Us” section, but we’re not in the business of curing insomnia 🥱 so we’d rather show you.

We are EV City, nuff said.

#evcity #ev #christchurch #newzealand #cars

Rob “The Kaiapoi Crusher” McLean is a legend of EV City. This enigmatic figure does not only live up to the myth that surrounds him, he evolves it exponentially by leaping over the previous heights he’s set for himself. Such is the life of a man who lives a thousand dreams while the rest of us catch z’s.

The most impressive of Rob’s traits is his humility. If you don’t know him well enough you’d be hard pressed to guess his superhuman prowess. He loves a good laugh, he spins a good yarn and he’s great at his job. Be more like Rob.

#BemorelikeRob #evcity #inspirational

As many of you know, Jordan made the headlines of The Press last Friday afternoon as a top bloke looking for vegan love. This was the teams initial (heavily filtered) reaction. We have nothing but love for Jordan and wish him all the very best in his affairs of the heart, but this is not the kind of press we’re used to seeing about an EV City team member.

The best part of all this is that Jordan was more than happy to join in on the fun and have a hearty laugh himself - that’s how you know he’s a top bloke.

#evcity #thepress #chch #christchurch #veganlove #lookingforlove

The date is October 20th, 1990. Dave Boot had just opened the doors to his futuristic car palace, selling electric vehicles from the future. He obtained the vehicles by accidentally and mysteriously travelling forward in time during a game of lick the toad that went horribly wrong. When Dave licked the amphibian he found himself in the year 2023 with a bank account from the 90’s that had sat untouched accumulating interest. This is when he had an idea which he deemed phenomenal. Dave spent most of his savings on all the 2nd hand electric cars he could get his hands on and painstakingly figured out a way to take them all back in time with him to become the only car dealer to sell vehicles from the future! Once back in his regular timeline he spent the little savings he had left getting this spectacular, high end advertisement produced and aired on television.

Needless to say, Dave didn’t find much success in this venture as he failed to take inflation, median household wages, cheap petrol prices, a lack of concern from the general population regarding the climate as well as many other factors into consideration. He sold the cars for scrap and began saving up from scratch. 

Luckily this incredible venture gave him a profound interest in the car industry as well as EV’s which is why he waited a few decades to start up his futuristic car palace anew only in the present day. This is the story of Dave Boot and EV City. This shoddy copy of a VHS cassette remains as the only proof which he keeps as a memento and reminder of why you should never lick toads.

#evcity #timetravel #90’s #infomercial #vhs

It may come as a surprise but did any of you know that Jordan likes Tesla?

Rob and Jordan continue their showdown and Jordan picks the busiest streets in the city to show off the power of the Model 3 Performance and Rob takes the quiet back streets so he can actually drive the BYD Seal.

Part 3 will be out next year!!!

The Model 3 Performance showing its Christmas spirit by putting on a show. A necessary car feature? No. A fun little flex? Perhaps.

Happy holidays everyone 🎄

EV City presents the 11th film by TinTin Quarantino, a daring psychological thriller starring Nick Haines. Behind the veil of an EV salesperson lurks a demon behind the wheel.

A film that has been described by nobody as “70’s exploitation era meets the contemporary fog of late stage capitalism that will make your skin crawl and check thrice that you didn’t forget to charge your EV”.

Shot in glorious 70mm, experience this spectacle on a 5” phone screen while “watching” a new crime doco series on Netflix. Are you ready?.

Dave got to take the first BYD Shark for a spin around the block thanks to a good friend of ours at EV City and just listen to how quickly he’s sold on the experience, look and feel of this hybrid truck.

Here’s hoping we get some of these in for you to test drive and purchase at some point soon, we can’t wait.

We like to have our fair share of fun but social media can often make real life appear too idealistic, unrealistic, artistic or (like in this case) overly linguistic.

Behind the scenes when the camera is off the team is running around like mad, crunching numbers, making dozens of phone calls, preparing EV’s for sale and for delivery alike. All this starts with our morning meetings where the team discuss everything that needs to be done, so that every hopeful customer that walks into our space can walk out reassured and satisfied.

We love to make fun and silly videos but when there’s work to be done you can bet your prettiest penny that Rob is out the door to get a car serviced or prepped for delivery. Jordan and Nick are answering all your questions via email or phone and taking care of all your needs in store. Dave is working on importing or buying only the best used vehicles on the market and finding all the ways we can improve your EV experience. Trish is upstairs making sure everything adds up, all the accounts are up to date, and that you get what you pay for down to the cent. And Kiryl…Well Kiryl makes silly videos for us.

Episode 2 of Dave Boot’s Boot Space is here! If you didn’t catch the pilot of this head scratching neo-noir, mystery thriller you may be lost in the thick of it so here’s a brief synopsis:

Dave Boot, chief head honcho of EV City (and a very tall bloke) stuffs himself into various boot spaces of EV’s of all shapes and sizes for our amusement.

Who comes up with this stuff?!?

Well let me tell you. We’ve smuggled 37 squirrels into the country and forced them to hop on a typewriter by dangling hazelnuts above it, slightly out of their reach. It’s not the most efficient method but it sure as heck saves some dosh in the long run.

Happy Canterbury Anniversary Day everyone and stay tuned for episode 3!

Mercedes sure know how to make you feel regal while driving or commuting in their cars, this is not news. With their EQ series they’ve certainly not shied away from going all out with making the user feel like royalty from a utopian future. With customisation options for the interior lights, access to all the controls directly from the steering wheel, gorgeous colours on their LED screens, multiple views to toggle on the dashboard, the last goes on.

This EQA 250 is perfect for someone who wants an EQC but more compact, whilst maintaining the spacious feel and not sacrificing even the smallest interior luxuries.

We’ll take this out for a spin to do a video of the exterior at some stage soon.

Part 1.

Jordan discovers a challenge that he did not foresee for his journey back to Christchurch in the BYD ATTO 3.

#evcity #newzealand #nz #byd #tesla

All black exterior. All white interior. A 2023 model Y with <36k on the odo. Pack your suit in the boot, pack your funk in the frunk. This thing is all work, all play, all night, all day.

#evcity #christchurch #ev #nz #chch #newzealand #electricvehicle #tesla

This BYD ATTO 3 didn’t spend much time in our yard at all, and why would it when it offers so much and looks so stunning!

The red accents inside paired with the glossy red paint job is simply put a chefs kiss 🤌

The interior makes the announcement that the future has arrived and the driving experience speaks for itself.

Let’s hope we get another one of these beauties in our yard soon and congrats to the new owner on making a solid choice for an EV

The 2023 Tesla Model 3 (Long Range) has a few neat new features over the older model. A touchscreen in the rear to control the AC and watch content? Why not. Some nice new improvements on the look as well. This baby has only done just over 9000kms 🫨

PART 3 of Dave’s MISSION IMPROBABLE.

Will Dave get to Tākaka? Will he be stranded in his shorts and t-shirt in the wop wops? Find out in this series clincher!!!
#evcity

Have you played our weekly quiz? Dave jumps on it as soon as it’s live every Thursday morning. It’s hard to put his knowledge to the test so Kiryl throws in a completely bonkers polls and questions to make it interesting.

It seems to spark up some interesting conversations though so he must be doing something right. See you for the next quiz this Thursday!!

(Apologies for the poor audio quality, sometimes the microphones decide to take a nap)

#evcity

Enjoy it like it’s new! The team at EV City takes pride in their work which means they always go the extra mile to make sure everything is spick and span ready for delivery or for you to pick up. Trish, Rob, Nick and Jordan are often coming in early or staying past closing time to finalise crucial details, answer your inquiries and get every sold EV ready for its new owner in time. Above and beyond is the standard here.

#evcity #electricvehicle #ev

X-Ray got some attention from the camera the other day, baring its guts and all 🫣 Yet it’s never looked so cool. A great visual tool to have in our yard, not a great car to hide in though 😆
#evcity #ev #carporn #carreels #nissan #leaf

The third instalment of this thrilling showdown! Who do you think won? Which would you pick? Why? Let us know in the comments.

Dave’s too 5 picks of EV’s we’ve had in our yard throughout 2024! What will the big man himself deem as the No.1 pick?

Watch Jordan and Rob drive the two Performance level EV’s from to fierce competitors in the market. It’s the Tesla Model 3 Performance VS the BYD Seal Performance!!!

Both sides make fair points, but if you haven’t made up your mind yet luckily there’s a part 2 and part 3 yet to come, so stay tuned.

Thank you to the bubbly and kindred spirits across the road at Elite Service Centre Ltd. for their generous and thoughtful gifts. Our close proximity and daily cooperation over time have proven that you truly understand our innermost desires over the coming holiday period 🥳💃🏼🕺🏻🍾🥂 We wish much the same for you lot! Happy holidays 🎄

Shop front is looking like the Death Star guarded by Storm Troopers with Darth Vader on the lookout. One Storm Trooper gazes at another lowering his binoculars and asks hesitantly “Hans, are we the baddies?”

Not to worry we’ve got plenty of TIE fighters (Nissan Leafs) too 😉

Here is another rendition of our Spicy Car Review series where one (un)lucky team member draws the red card and has to eat a habanero right before jumping into a one minute car review! Last time Jordan spat flames as he reviewed a Tesla Model Y, who will it be this time and what EV is up for review?

There’s a lot of bonus material from this episode so stay tuned for the aftermath, which is objectively funnier as it takes a few minutes for these hot peppers to start kicking your a**. Perhaps something to keep in mind to improve our future episodes 🤔

Dave Boot is BACK in another boot! This time due to no doing of his own. We accidentally locked him in the Model Y over the long weekend and only realised this before doing one final look over the EV before it got delivered to its new owner. Imagine getting a complimentary Dave Boot with your next Tesla purchase! Would you consider that a good deal or ask for your money back? He’s pretty handy in the boot department, but he also takes up most of the luggage space. Tough call. Let us know what you would do in the comments.

Tune in next time when Dave Boot will likely be in another boot or something. I dunno, it’s hard to think of these things, it’s a lot of pressure.

For those of you eagerly and impatiently waiting for a day off where you can finally make it into EV City and get that EV you’ve been eyeballing, currently Googling “Are car dealerships open on Canterbury Anniversary Day?” - the answer is YES!!! Even if Dave wrote “closed” in all caps in our book for some reason 🤦‍♂️

From 10am until 4pm we’ve got our top men, the green berets of EV tech, the crème de la crème in a league of their own on the job and they’ll happily assist you with any queries you’re itching to have answered.

ALSO TOMORROW: EPISODE 2 of Dave Boot’s Boot Space! Root for Dave Boot as he reviews the space of another boot, it’s a hoot! 9.7 stars out of 10 on imdb so far. He may get a Primetime Emmy nod for this one.

The finale to the Rob VS Jordan showdown of the EV’s. The climax of the series reveals crucial truths about the nature of man, and what man will do in order to be the victor.

We had so much fun shooting this wee video, Rob and Jordan delivered so many entertaining moments we had to divide it into multiple videos, as it was originally intended to be one. We hope you had a laugh as much as we did. We’ll be sure to get these two in the drivers seats for another showdown at some point in the future.

Rob and Jordan have been arguing about this for a week now. They haven’t even left the cars yet. We’re starting to be a little concerned because they haven’t slept or eaten this whole time. It’s almost like they’re fuelled purely by arguing with one another over which EV is superior.

We’ve got one final cheeky twist for you in the finale of this showdown so stay tuned.

Moments like this feel like a glitch in the matrix. The beauty of this simulation malfunction is that from this day onwards on the rare occasion the new owners of both of these Nissan Leafs drive past one another they will give each other the “nice car” nod. How often do you drive past your car twin?

“Do you guys have Teslas currently on the yard?”

Yes.

“How many? I don’t wanna miss out”

Also yes.

“Is Jordan working?”

PART 3

Jordan Wyatt, our token vegan, Tesla devotee (a daring stance in todays world) and a bachelor made of smiles and kindness is back to take us on another joyride in this new instalment of Joyrides With Jordan.

This time Jordan drives a BYD Seal Performance from Chch to Nelson without stopping to charge (as per Rob and Dave’s challenge to him). Join Jordan as he weaves through the hills and highways in a car that’s considered the number 1 competitor to his famously adored Tesla Model 3 Performance.

Rob and Dave discuss an upcoming joyride with Jordan, where he has to drive a BYD Seal Performance from Chch to Nelson to deliver it to its excited new owner. As if a 400+ km one way journey is not enough Dave proposes an extra challenge to make things interesting.

Join Jordan on his joyride to Nelson as he will be documenting the trip, discussing his love for Tesla and all the ways in which the BYD Seal doesn’t live up to the expectations of a die hard Tesla fan.

A lot of videos to parse through and edit so we’re locking Kiryl up in a dark room until he comes through with this exciting series for you all to enjoy. Stay tuned.

Dave, your mission should you choose to accept it is to deliver a 40kWh Nissan Leaf from Christchurch to Tākaka in time to catch a flight and get back home safely.

Rob’s Top 5 EV’s sold at EV City this year. Rob actually likes cars so he carefully thought this through. No brand loyalty, simply decisions made on pure facts, logic…and opinion

Do you agree with Rob’s top 5 picks?

The BYD Seal took centre stage to show all the other cars who’s boss. It couldn’t however do a Christmas number like the Model 3 Tesla can, and instead just sat there looking hot. Sometimes a flashy light show is superfluous though, especially when you have the curves that makes necks swivel.

A lot of fun at the MTA Gala last Friday! Too much fun perhaps 😄 Being the only table that deals solely with electric vehicles we felt compelled to make a point by taking everyone else’s cars and tracks off their tables and making a mega track on our own.

Pity that we didn’t manage to capture the trackmania at its peak performance when Trish coordinated a coup to take hold of over a dozen of the wee cars and successfully led the team to having all of them on the circuit simultaneously! Beautiful stuff. Definitely one of the highlights of the night.

Huge thanks to @mta_nz and @tepaechristchurch for a wonderful evening, great food and a stunning atmosphere.

Jordan explains his newly found fondness of ditching used electronics and miscellaneous rubbish out front of his property to find it miraculously disappearing within a day . “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” as Dave sums it up with the common platitude.

Hope that dishwasher got put to good use, who knows Jordan may have donated a new heart to a dying machine. Do you leave your junk out front of your property in hopes that someone will save you the trouble of taking it to the dump?

The Kiryl (a filmmaking cyborg) had to be rebooted today after a complete meltdown from an attempt to communicate with Dave (a human). We managed to scrape this recording from The Kiryl’s harddrive before forcing a complete reset of the system.

The Kiryl is fine, it turns out that SkyNet forgot to properly install an override to his rumination function. Once the machine is activated there is no resolution to the issue, so the bad news is he’s still a bit glitchy. The good news is, we booted him up in time to keep cranking out content.

His first words upon his reboot were “No! Not the orange man again!”

Thought if we spun ‘em round fast enough we’d be able to visualise the perfect EV design. NOPE! This little manoeuvre cost us 51 years.

Note from the editing bay: The videographer guy keeps pitching me these “simple ideas” that wind up in me having epileptic seizures during the process. Can’t we just get the boys to eat some chills again or something?”

P.S the videographer and the editor are the same person 🤫

The conclusion to Jordan’s Joyride from Nelson back to Christchurch.

How many % will he have left in the BYD ATTO 3? Would Rob have had more?

Thanks for watching!

A recap of the last exciting episode of Joyrides With Jordan. Why? Because the new one is coming at you! Like a beam, like a ray, like a buzzard.

Our editing monkey caught Covid which put our entire production team back a full week if not more behind schedule.

Good to have the monkey back, we’re working him like Trump is about to put tariffs on bananas (that’s what we told the monkey, he doesn’t know how tariffs work).

Stay tuned for another Joyride With Jordan

We love the bigger picture, but only as much as we care about the finer details. While many dealers put the pedal to the metal to get across the finish line 🏁 we make sure to pump the brakes when necessary to ensure that you get in gear and hit the gas with not a single bump in the road. After all, not all roads lead to Rome, especially if you’re driving a lemon.

That’s a lot of idiots, I mean idioms 🫣

Failing to do so will leave you stranded, a customer disappointed and a mate that has to drive all the way to pick you up very pissed off.

This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.

2023 Toyota Prius X. Toyota looked at the blueprints for the first 4 generations of their best selling hybrid and went “make it look more like a superhero in the front and a supervillain at the back”. Nailed it, certainly a cool looking HEV 😎

Do you prefer the look of the front or the back?

This model has 30k on the odo and is a very tidy example inside and out.

This may look like a friendly, quick tour of our yard guided by the amiable Nick but in reality Nick had to guide Kiryl through the yard showing him everything bit by bit because he’s been off work so long he’s forgotten damn near everything 🙃

What a year it’s been! It zoomed past like a Model 3 Performance driven by a maniac, but boy did we have some fun along the way!

We have some wonderfully amazing people working here who love to shine on camera, yet we also have a few who save their sparkle for behind the scenes. All in all, it makes for an incredibly fluid and fun team dynamic. Each and every soul under the EV City roof is an essential pillar without which the walls would wobble. Us being in Christchurch, we sure don’t like that, so we’re grateful for one another. Alas, this place would be of no use if it weren’t for all of you, our supporters, our friends, our customers and our business partners. Thank you all for putting your trust in us and making EV City what it is today.

Bring on 2025! We’re going to put more drivers in the seats of EV’s, we’re going to keep diversifying the range of EV’s in our yard and we’re going to make some fun videos showing it all as it happens.

Thank you 2024, here’s to another trip around the sun!

Jordan’s Top 5 EV picks of 2024! These only include the models we have had in our yard throughout the year but the choice was still plentiful.

Do you agree with this Top 5?

Sometimes Christmas presents are a bit too big for the old man in red to deliver himself. Just imagine what stuffing an EV down the chimney would do to your home’s infrastructure? We’re happy to help the Claus out during his busy time of year, he can worry about the kids toys, we’ll take care of the grown ups.

It wasn’t too long ago when it felt like every EVon the NZ roads was a Nissan Leaf. Boy how quickly things change. Just in the past 6 months we’ve had some stunners on our yard from a plethora of car manufacturers, and having a reel like this to look back on sure is a short and sweet reminder.

Which one of these was your favourite?

When Dave is in his element you can tell he’s locked in. His character acting is so immersive you could swear while watching Dave Boot’s Boot Space that he hates being stuffed into a boot for the entertainment of others. However this is not the case, witnessed in this rare glimpse of Dave unexpectedly breaking character whilst accidentally opening the boot.

New episode out next week. See you then!

As soon as a new EV arrives on our yard the team gets to work prepping it for sale (even before it’s booked for a full groom to get the bird sh** off 😆)

We had a quick opportunity to capture the Mercedes Benz EQ twins side by side this morning. They’re not identical twins but both win points for looks, that much is certain. The EQC400 is ready to be picked up by the new owner and the EQA250 is keenly awaiting the same fate.

Our yard hasn’t had this much space to freely roam and check out the EV’s in quite a while so Kiryl (our photo/video guru) ran around with his camera like a pup touching grass for the first time.

It feels like just yesterday our selection was similar to an autumnal forest, Leafs everywhere. We’ve still got plenty of those but now you’ll find Peugeots, BMWs, Audis, Mercedes, Mitsubishis as well as Teslas in between. Plenty to gaze at if you want to have a wander and wonder what you’ll be upgrading to next.
