In this week’s CarExpert Podcast, the guys talk about the Melbourne city council wanting to charge higher parking fees for utes and large SUVs, as well as Volkswagen’s recently announced ID.3 GTX electric hot hatch.

James runs us through how Nissan’s hybrid system works in the new Qashqai e-Power, and there’s a preview of a special Podcast episode with Chris Harris coming soon.
