Charging while being away!!

So what do you EV owners do if you go away for a few weeks? Do you plug it in and programme the charging at night? Is it safe to do so? Or do you just let the battery drain for a few weeks? And again is it fine to do that or not?

Geely Ex5 or BYD atto3?

Between atto 3 and Ex5 which one is more reliable? I think from a tech perspective Ex5 would be ahead but if you don’t really care perks that much and are mainly looking for something with a good range and most importantly reliability then is the atto3 a better choice?

Dying Vivoactive 3

My vivoative 3 is dying. I have had it for 5 years, the battery doesn’t last more than an hour during any activity, sometimes 30min for strenuous activities. Syncing is also not its best off lately.

Any suggestions if I can revive it somehow, may be a new after market battery? Or software update? Or do I need to fork out $$$ for a new watch.

P.S: not a heavy user, only use it track my runs or long walks usually. Do wear it to ofc sometimes.

Business Use and Novated Leasing

Looking into Novated Leasing for an EV and was wondering if someone can provide some info on what difference it makes if you use the car for business purposes? For my petrol car, I maintain a logbook and use the cents per km method for tax deductions. Obviously can’t do that with the EV but what options do I have? Can I continue using the petrol car and use the EV just for private purposes?

Lastly, does it impact the NL payments if I use it for business purposes?

What’s the best rate everyone’s got?

Hello peeps, just wondering what is the rate everyone’s got as I have heard there it all boils down to your bargaining skills. Had a bloke tell me he got the ex5 for $40k with extras as tints, mats plus free service for 7 years. Not sure how true it is. But yes, keen to know the rates everyone’s getting.

Also if going down the Novated Lease path, at what point do you tell the dealer? Then, do you just get the quote / invoice and forward it to your NL company?

Suggest an EV under $40k

Newbie to the EV world but it is enticing and am thinking of getting one. Please suggest something under $40k which is reliable and hassle free. Have been looking to Jaecoo J5 , Cherry but would love some insight. Tesla’s are expensive and wouldn’t go second hand for an EV, but again looking to be educated on that front too.

Byd Atto 2 or Used Rav4 Hybrid

Hello peeps, just tossing between Byd atto 2 or used Rav4 hybrid under 100,000kms? Would love some genuine advice. First time thinking of going down EV route. Don’t wanna spend more than $35-$36k. Novated lease can also be an option. Honestly have no idea about EV’s but generally handy with cars and pretty hands-on.
