Hidden in the middle of the centre console of his Nissan Ariya is a wireless phone charging pad.
All you need to do is place your phone on the marked spot and not worry about battery problems when on the road.
Ben revealed the unique feature when giving a tour of his car on the short video platform.
“The center console in the Nissan Ariya is very strange,” he wrote.
It comes after expert mechanic Scotty Kilmer revealed that models from a number of major brands boast a handy feature that could help keep you on the road during the deep freeze.
With Britain experiencing temperatures as low as -13C, it’s more important than ever to use all the tools at your disposal to stay safe in the snow.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Scotty urged hundreds of thousands of drivers to keep an eye out for the hidden switch.
He said: “Let’s say you’ve got a Volvo, and a lot of cars have it now, they have a snow button.
“If it’s really snowing, push the snow button.
“People don’t even know what it does, it starts your car off in second gear instead of first gear, so it won’t have as much torque.
“A lot of companies like Toyota, Honda they have a similar one, it’ll say snow or ice or whatever.”
Meanwhile, a savvy driver revealed the 6p Sainsbury’s item which de-ices your car in seconds with no fuss.
Drivers said they had no idea the WD-40 could make their frosty mornings hassle-free when Christina, who goes by @homewithchristina on TikTok, revealed her winter hacks online.
Christina explained that by spraying WD-40 on the inside of your doors, you can prevent them from being frozen shut.
The product, which retails for £6 on Sainsbury’s, has up to 100 uses, meaning customers spend only 6p every time they de-frost their car.
WD-40 can also be used to prevent snow from sticking to your shovel, Christina said.
TikTok followers couldn’t stop thanking the clever driver for her tips, with one user writing: “I had no idea! Thanks!”
Another commented: “This is very informative for people who are new car owners, living alone, and who live in areas where it snows heavily, thank you very much.”
A third replied: “No one has showed me or told me about any of these hacks, thanks!”
