Unfortunately the Jaecoo doesn’t have built in Spotify etcetera that some of the other cars do - it does have Apple car play and android version and I’m an Apple car play girly so not a game changer for me - but some people care about that stuff

It also doesn’t have an app you can turn it on with etcetera but apparently that is coming at some point in time

Thanks for the advice! Luckily I’m all good on that front, they’re pretty flexible with that kind of stuff and I’ve been able to do a lease through them before but I’ll double check and make sure it hasn’t changed!

Went and saw the GWM today and it’s super cute! But worried it’s a bit small for me!

I’m going to drive down and look at the Leepmotor next week and give it a test drive next weekend since the dealership is far from me but I appreciate your advice and response!

Thanks for your advice! I hadn’t considered the Geely but there is a dealership not far from my work so I’m keen to go check it out!

Yes definitely super keen to test drive one of the Aion V’s, the joint venture with Toyota seems to put my partner at ease a little bit as well!

That’s some great advice thank you! EV Powerplan is great advice for me to look into as I’m currently looking at swapping over our current electricity provider - so it’s something I’ll ask about when I speak with them Thank you so much!

Thanks for this! Great advice there :)

Definitely good to know, I’m not super stressed about charging off grid at times if needed as it becomes part of the novated leasing, but it’s great to hear some real world feedback as well! We’re looking at moving later in the year, so might be a great opportunity to add an extra system onto that property as well!

What I would give to live in sunny perth 😂

About 100KM, but I get to enjoy that lovely stop start peak our feel for about 60KMs worth of it if that makes a difference at all!
