22: Toyota and Honda go mini, but we go big on EV range

In this week's episode of the Hook Turn podcast, we discuss Toyota's retro-tastic, baby LandCruiser FJ, and whether it can successfully take on rivals such as the Suzuki Jimny. We then talk about Honda, and question their product planning nous in importing the tiny new Super-One EV but (still) not selling the funky new hybrid Honda Jazz in Australia. Finally, we move on to what you need to consider when figuring out how far your EV can really drive.
