Love a good wagon.
ZEEKR 007 Wagon has been spotted and looks similar to the renders!

Hoping this one will come here if the 007 does make it down under!

Skywell BE11 / EVA 5 has been ADR Approved.
Another mid sized SUV coming from China!

2 variants approved for AU.
72kWh and 86kWh variant.
Everything else is same between variants.
One odd thing - the right variant is 22mm longer with a bigger battery.

Farizon SV (SuperVAN) has been ADR Approved. The usual document with some high level specs has not been uploaded yet so there are still a few unknowns. Great to see a commercial van in full EV is hitting the markets soon!
