A proper 4X4 EV ute? Geely Riddara RD6 review

Can a battery-electric ute really tow, carry, and tackle Kiwi conditions? We find out with the Geely Riddara RD6 Pro — Geely’s all-electric double-cab now arriving in New Zealand. Richard Edwards takes the wheel to test the RAD’s range, payload, real-world performance and clever features like its vehicle-to-load outlets, huge frunk, and plush SUV-style interior. With more than 300 kW on tap and three-tonne towing capacity, this could be the EV ute tradies and families have been waiting for. We compare it to rivals like the BYD Shark PHEV and Ford Ranger PHEV, cover charging times, on-road comfort, and what the arrival of a true BEV ute means for New Zealand’s shift to electric work vehicles.
