Hey guys

I’m going to pick up my car next week and wanted to check what’s the best and cheapest company you’ve found? Based on the comments, it seem like it’s AAMI but wanted to check with others in SE Melbourne.

Thanks

Edit: AAMI quoted $1.3K

Hey guys

I’m getting my car soon and will need to get the charger installed in the garage. Any recommendation in the SE of Melbourne?

How much did you pay?

Thanks

Hey guys

I’m waiting for my EX5 now and I know there’s a lot of things that can be set up or should set up like drivers profile. The bing and bong.

But would love to get a list of all the essential setup that you’ve done for your car.

Thanks in advance

I’m really enjoying this series so far. As much as I’m not a fan of Katy Kung. I’m loving the energy the series has. Very early 2000s TVB.

It’s silly. It’s cringy. It’s fun.

We need more of this

Hey everyone,

I'm in my final shopping process between two cars and I know these are two very different cars overall and probably aimed at different buyers, but I’m curious if anyone here has actually driven or owned both the Geely EX5 and the Zeekr 7X.

I was pretty set on getting the EX5 because from a bang-for-buck perspective it seems really hard to beat. Comfortable, practical, decent range, and the pricing makes a lot of sense to me.

But recently someone told me I should seriously consider stretching to the Zeekr 7X instead, and now I’m second guessing myself a bit.

I do really like the design and overall premium feel of the 7X, but we’re talking roughly another $20k depending on spec, which is a pretty significant jump.

For those who’ve driven both or seriously cross-shopped them:

• Does the 7X genuinely feel worth the extra money?
• Or does the EX5 still come out as the smarter overall buy/value proposition?

Things I care about most are:

• comfort
• tech/usability
• ride quality
• value for money
• long-term ownership experience

Would love some honest real-world feedback rather than just spec-sheet comparisons especially in Melbourne (Vic) driving.

Hey all,

I’m pretty new to EVs and trying to narrow things down at the moment. I’ve landed on the Geely EX5 and Kia EV5 as my main options, but struggling to separate them beyond the spec sheets.

I've tested them both today and fine them both very similar in terms of the drive and familiar to what I'm used to.

Would love to hear from anyone who owns or has driven either (or both):

• What do you actually like / dislike?
• Any issues or things that annoyed you over time?
• How’s the real-world range vs what’s advertised?

I’ve seen people say EV range can drop a fair bit in real life — like down to ~60% of claimed. Is that actually true in your experience, or a bit exaggerated?

For context, most of our driving is just suburban Melbourne — school runs, errands, etc. We rarely do long road trips, so range isn’t a dealbreaker, but still want to understand what I’m getting into.

Keen to hear some honest experiences before pulling the trigger
