Ladysmith Show & Shine

Big thanks to the Mid-Vancouver Island EV Association for inviting us to the annual Ladysmith Show & Shine. We drove my 2025 BYD Shark with a 2017 Neighbourhood EV in the box — its first public outing — and the interest was overwhelming.

Beyond the show, we're excited about a bigger vision: a community-owned EV car share, a fleet ranging from a little NEV to a full-size electric truck like the Shark, with members simply booking whichever vehicle suits their trip. It's electric, it's shared, and it's owned by the people who use it.

For more details visit nzevpilot.ca.

Cheers, Dave Haberman
