The Handpresso or Portable Coffee Machine
Now in New Zealand we all love our coffee, right? We also have sparse landscapes to explore. The Handpresso or portable coffee machine allows you to take your coffee to any destination. There are a variety of plunger type coffee machines that offer a great option for coffee on the road. However the 2022 handpresso is an invention by Nespresso that uses a similar system to the coffee pods, but with minimal use of space. This is a car gadget that could hold a lot of value in New Zealand, for those driving across the country.
Portable Car Vacuum Cleaner
This car gadget is one that we named in our top christmas gifts of 2021. However a portable car vacuum cleaner is still a leading car accessory in 2022. A portable car vacuum allows for car cleaning anywhere on your travels. It is handy for dog owners who like to quickly clean their car after a k-nine adventure. Or anyone who likes to maintain that quality of the interior of their vehicle. Most portable car vacuums come with multi-use nozzles that get into all areas of the car. And are an excellent affordable gadget for your car.
Car Cams
For driving around town or for longer travel a dash cam can document your travels and keep a log of any incidents. Dash/car cams are constantly updating and are becoming important technology to have in your car. You can have cams that provide video for both the front and back of a vehicle. And ones that link or save to your phone or another device. Or very specific cameras such as a video rear vision mirror that records what is seen in your rear vision mirror. For 2022 the latest car cams are a must have for vehicle technology.
Digital Key
Digital keys are extremely easy to access through an app on your phone. This will link your automated key with your phone so that you can lock/unlock your car through your device. However to ensure this works with your model of car it is best to talk to the relevant car company. Additionally it provides features such as showing you how much petrol you have left or how much battery range your EV has. Some of the simpler apps may provide a service like ‘find my key’ where you can locate a lost car key.
