Here's your opportunity to join the Electric Vehicle Revolution without spending an arm and a leg.

Only 43k km on the clock 8 Bar - SOH report to come shortly (when I can figure out how to use the Leaf Spy app. I believe it's about 85 ). Around about 100-120kms on full charge. I am the 1st NZ owner and this car has proved extremely reliable and smooth and quiet to drive. Regularly serviced. Tyres are very new. Car is in excellent condition. This was a 2nd car for me so didn’t get a lot of mileage. I can no longer afford to own 2 cars so it’s time for a reluctant sale. I’ve never used a fast charger. Only charged at home. I never charged it over 80% or discharged it below 20% (better for battery life) G spec model means it is loaded with extras: Heated front and rear seats Heated steering wheel Traction control Side Aribags Cruise control 17” Alloy wheels CD player B-mode: Regenerative braking (saves brake pad wear and extends range) Solar panel Reversing camera Bluetooth Steering wheel controls Comes with EV car charger (not pictured) Air conditioning Remote locking Electric mirrors ABS Brakes

Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.

Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.
