A lovely family road trip in one of our latest vehicles!
Over the holidays our very own Alan Cao, took our newly landed bZ4X for a nice family trip to test its limits and make sure he was ready for any questions our customers would have. ๐
Alan says the bZ4X handled a drive (with charge to spare) from Auckland to Hamilton to visit extended family ... even with the music and aircon blasting! ๐ฅ๐ He made special mention of the smoothness of steering, suspension and the amount of torque. He says everything was so smooth even Sara, who doesn't usually want to drive, wanted a turn.
He goes on to say that there was plenty of space for his kids and all their stuff in the back even with both front seats back as far as they would go. Very family friendly.
And finally, Alan says when pulling into the driveway in Hamilton, there was much talk amongst family members about just how good the bZ4X looked next to their Prados, RAV4s and Yaris GXs.
All in all, a great weekend for Alan and the bZ4X๐ฅand cheers for this lovely family pic (Taken before you set off) ๐
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

โ ๏ธ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. โ ๏ธ
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
๐ The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50ยฐC in less than 15 minutes.
๐ Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
๐ This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
๐ It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you โค๏ธ
