We took a Renault Scenic to Holland for some culture, windmills, tulips, and A LOT of food and drink.

The original Scenic had three full-size seats in the back. Will the new one be just as practical? It's road trip time! 🌷⚡️

Eye-watering heating costs, house upgrades, slimy creatures, tatty chickens, trying to be David Attenborough, The Semi-Gay Mr. EV Dining Experience, and meet the fluffy new member of our family. It’s all in our latest house update after a year of living in the money pit. 🏡

I found the source of the bad smell in my garage and I've learned a lesson today about making sure home batteries have plenty of floor clearance. Yes, I discovered a decomposing rat (video is not for the sensitive, you have been warned!)

The Mazda6e is coming to the UK next year. It’s big, sleek, roomy, and… Chinese?!

I take it for a drive, poke around the interior to see if it feels like a real Mazda, and even pick up some Japanese PR speak along the way.

Get ready for a bit of omotenashi!

How much are used EVs going for these days? I join my good friend, Jonathan Porterfield, for his weekly auction video to chat bargains, Buzzes, beavers, big batteries and much more. ⚡️

I've always loved the original Nissan LEAF, but its 80-mile range (if lucky!) is tiny by modern standards.

Let's see what's involved with replacing its battery with brand-new 50kWh modules from VIVNE. Is it simple? How much did it cost? What range will we get? Any stress?! 😬
