It's EV Tuesday!

16th June 2026

Good morning EV Tuesday readers.

What a lovely weekend we have just had! The Summer has finally started to kick in.

Here at Head Quarters we have been busy designing and building new Vehicle to Load Cables for other brands of EV's. Take a look below and click on the link if you have a BMW and would like to use your EV to power your appliances.

As always, we have a variety of tips, tools, links, reviews and the next edition of the EV Adventure Lap of Tasmania.

Until next time, have a great week!

Sit back, and enjoy this week's edition of EV Tuesday.

We will be posting this to our social media channels including Twitter & Reddit (check out r/evcables subreddit). If you have access to our blog, you will get an extra item :)

Get involved and give us any ideas in the comments, they may well get used next week!

Right, ready.....steady.........GO!!

Feedback, Requests, Questions?

As always, please give us feedback on Twitter. Which item is your favourite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Just send a tweet to @ev_cables and put #EVTuesdays at the end so we can find it.

Have a great week everyone and happy reading!
