EVs & Beyond is a New Zealand-based EV media channel connected to the wider EVs & Beyond magazine and website. It is strongly focused on electric vehicles, charging, e-mobility, and the EV market in New Zealand, with some broader international EV coverage. The associated podcast describes itself as covering electric-vehicle news “from New Zealand and Beyond.” 

The channel is aimed mainly at EV owners, EV-curious buyers, fleet users, and viewers interested in how electrification is developing in New Zealand. Content includes vehicle reviews, local EV news, charging discussions, interviews, livestream-style panel conversations, and coverage of industry developments. It also covers related areas such as electric vans, e-bikes, charging infrastructure, and commercial EV use.

EVs & Beyond’s stance is clearly EV-positive and transition-oriented. The channel treats electric vehicles as a practical and growing part of New Zealand transport, while discussing real issues such as charger availability, road trips, vehicle supply, pricing, and infrastructure. Its tone is more industry/community focused than entertainment-led.

The production style is publication-like rather than highly cinematic. Videos often feature host Richard Edwards, guests, and panels of experts or industry participants. The “geek level” is moderate: useful for practical EV buyers and market watchers, but generally not focused on deep engineering topics such as battery chemistry or teardown-level technical analysis.
