I’m very grateful to have been invited along to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed with BYD and Denza. You can expect plenty of social media and YouTube coverage over the weekend 😎
This will be my 5th FOS. It’s probably my favourite day on the automotive calendar. Bring it on! 🙌

How much does it cost to drive an EV 1600 miles using public chargers? Can you really rely on EU infrastructure? If these thoughts keep you awake at night, then watch my latest video linked below! 😁
I also discuss my Polestar 2 in general, as a car, and how it swallows through the miles.

Here’s another road trip vlog for you all - filmed at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps. We said goodbye to Bruges in search for some automotive action, and it’s safe to say we found some! No vlog tomorrow, so take this one in! 😁

Our 4th European Adventure begins here! This time, in my Polestar 2 Dual Motor. Is taking an EV as hard as people say?
We board the ferry to Calais, and head into Bruges for an evening of exploration, food and beer. Enjoy! 🇧🇪

My first time abroad in an electric car, and I’m feeling quietly confident. We’ll see…
There’s something incredibly exciting about a foreign roadtrip 🙏
Plenty of videos to come!
