Welcome to Episode 251 of the EV Quest Podcast with Adrian Maidment and Riz Akhtar from CarLoop.
This week we look at Tesla's new cheaper Model 3, what has changed, how much range it gets and whether the lower price makes it an even more attractive EV.
We also take a first look at the updated BYD Atto 3 Evo, BYD's first 800-volt vehicle in Australia and New Zealand, and discuss the changes to its design, interior, technology and driving dynamics.
