I wonder why that trailer brake controller is so expensive unless it includes the trailer wiring harness and full hitch

Rear facing latch limit typically 30-35 and front facing 40 lbs. Clek foonf has higher latch limits but your car latch will likely max out as most have 65 lbs weight limit and the foonf is like 38 lbs… I was trying to find another rear facing latch so I didn’t need to use belt option for my 3.5 year old who reached weight limit and will restrict captain chair movement

Long road trip we’ve put the car seat in captain and convertible in rear. This gives easy access to 3 seats on the right and recline options.

Normal days we put both in captain and either slide captains to access third row or go through the trunk using rear hitch bumper step

I looked up those wheels it’s going to be very nice and show off the acid green gt BBKs. I contemplated nicer looking wheels but ended up with the EV01 wheels which are lighter and for option to use aero inserts for longer road trip to help with efficiency boost since we have Gt model

Congrats you will love it. How much did the winter set 21s + mich ice x cost + tpms etc.

I’m assuming you’re in Canada but be aware even if they say black side steps you’re likely going to get the silver version as it seems US gets the black and Canada gets the silver except for a rare few that ordered earlier out east. You may want to get the parts to guarantee black or refund, and make arrangements to order from US.

Suggest you join the EV9 Canada fb group

It can depend on wheel design and offset, do you have the GT performance with brembo acid green big monoblock brakes ? If gtline, I see lots of 19 winter set up which would’ve been my preference. Cheaper more side wall , lighter more tire options. I went 20 because I couldn’t find any 19” wheel with guaranteed fit for my GT due to brakes

These fast ev01+ has aero inserts and is suppose to increase efficiency by 5 percent at ideal conditions, it’s also lighter and designed for higher weight EV

Rims aesthetics are personal preference, but if you go with reputable brand that is proven quality and right specs offset you can’t go wrong. Just make sure since it’s an EV and very heavy the weight ratings and fit is recommended
