In this video, we take a deep dive into the all-new KGM Musso EV, a Korean-made electric 4x4 pickup truck that is shaking up the commercial vehicle market. With over 55 years of experience in SUVs and workhorses, KGM (formerly SsangYong) has delivered a robust electric alternative to traditional diesel pickups. We put the Musso EV through its paces, covering everything from its 80kWh battery and 200+ mile real-world range to its impressive 7.7-second 0-60mph acceleration. We also see how it can save a ton of cash in tax personally and is at a really competitive price. Key Features Explored: ⚡️ Range & Charging: How it handles motorways and rural tracks, plus DC fast-charging speeds (10% to 80% in 36 minutes). 🤓 Practicality: We measure the load bed (110cm between wheel arches) and test the 690kg payload and 2,300kg towing capacity. 🔌 Vehicle-to-Load (V2L): See how the built-in plug socket can power tools, heaters, or camping gear for days. 🛻 Off-Road Performance: How the low center of gravity and 4WD system handle farm tracks and rough terrain. 💷 Cost Savings: Why the 4% Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax makes this a massive money-saver for company car users compared to 37% for diesel alternatives. Whether you're looking for a leisure vehicle that can work or a silent, smooth workhorse for the farm, the KGM Musso EV offers a unique combination of performance and practicality. 00:00 Welcome! 00:30 Who are KGM 01:15 Looks and styling 01:58 Is it a workhorse 03:00 Practicality - Size Dimensions Towing etc 07:40 Electric numbers - Battery, Range, Charging speed 10:00 Vehicle 2 Load (V2L) How to power your tools from the vehicle 11:25 Inside the vehicle 13:40 Off for a drive 16:45 0-60 Take 1 with a bit of a bodge 17:15 Take 2 0-60 Its QUICK! 17:35 Is it a "commercial vehicle" 18:10 Personal tax benefits - BIG
