As an owner of a 2015 Nissan Leaf I can tell you that EVs have been far more affordable than the usual media outlets would have you believe. They have simply reached the point where it has become undeniable.
@trevorberridge6079 Absolutely, slowly that news will spread. Of course longer journeys need a little planning. But for day to day running about they really are affordable. But obviously oil companies don't want positive EV news to spread.
It would be nice to see the Renault and Citroen EVs in North America. What I am most looking forward to is the Aptera which should be in production this year. I hope you will do a detailed look at it.
I'm working from home right now, so at the rate I'm driving, I'm pretty sure that the Aptera, and possibly the Telos will be on the market by the time I need to replace my car. Of the cars I might actually see in the land of the allegedly free, I'm most intrigued by the electric Soul replacement.
Such a fun episode (love the graphics!)... I am looking forward to the Fisker Pear in 2024/5, both because it looks like an interesting and affordable city-sized (ie 'sized-for-the-city') car, but also because it will be a good indicator that Fisker have longevity in the market.
Hey Jack, you forgot Aptera in Q2 ‘24. 7000 in 2025. It’s small, but important. A grand grand project. Also, would love to see those new companies offering EV conversions. Someone mentioned Fisker, interesting cars there, no new ones next year?
With the Chinese import tariffs the rumor is we aren't actually going to get it in the US 😢 I hope they're wrong because it's what I'm hoping to get next
Seems like it will be a great year for EVs! I’ll believe it when I see it for some of the legacy brands, but if the small cars can come cheap and still with decent range, they should sell like hot cakes!
Let's define "decent range". For most people most of the time they will never need more than 50 miles of range on any given day. For most people long trips will consist of no more than 150 miles of driving during which time they will stop at least once anyway. So their car would not need 150 miles of range to be practical. Anything above 90 miles would serve all purposes. My 24kwh 2015 Nissan Leaf is now down to 70-85 miles of range and there still isn't anywhere I can't drive. So it would be very rare to find any new EVs that are actually only good for "city driving" on the basis of range. Practical range is almost guaranteed for at least 90% of all potential EV adopters. That will very soon become 100%.
@@trevorberridge6079 I'm a very specific case, but I've been looking for cheap, small EVs with a *reliable* winter range of 150 miles (by which I mean: being able to drive that distance with heating actually turned on. I'm using a "200 mile range" electric van at work which I love dearly.. except for its range, which is more like 150 miles on a good day, and closer to 100 miles if I want the cabin at a reasonable temperature throughout, in the UK winter). Because for anything less than 80 miles I... well, I almost never need a car in the first place, as it's either in my town, or a single bus journey away (or I can do without it). Oh, and yes, that range is for return journeys, because the charging infrastructure around here still leaves much to be desired. So, as far as I can tell, I need to look out for cars with *claimed* ranges of 250 miles or above to trust them to do 150 miles in the winter 🤷🏻 and that suddenly hasn't been easy to find any more (not at low prices, anyway). But luckily that's changing; MG4 is a good start, and more are appearing, so I should be able to make a choice soon
@@trevorberridge6079 Not sure if you are a handicapped person, my apologies if you are but I can certainly drive more that 150 miles without stopping and if I did need to it would be for a few minutes for a pee, not to have to wait for a charger to either be working or free then wait a half an hour to an hour waiting for it to charge.

Jack, love the retro format, but I think you were still 7 years from being BORN when Windows 3 was released in 1990 and 2 years from when Win95 came into being! Very excited to see that genuinely affordable EVs are here and increasing in numbers. My trusty old Leaf is due to retire soon, so a shiny new car with 200+ mile range, that I can afford will be very welcome.
@@aussieideasman8498 There ya go, brother. Aptera is a unicorn, like Tesla. You wouldn't know one if it bit you on the arse, eh. Thanks for the motivation.
Love that there are some smaller inexpensive (compared to the existing fleet) electric cars on the way. Hyundai Model 3, Volvo EX30, Renault 5 and the small citroen (sadly not likely to see many in North America, but that is life). And the profusion of LFP batteries in bigger sizes (eg. Zeekr golden battery) looks promising too.
When I think "perfect deadpan delivery", I typically think of Patrick Warburton. I am adding Jack Scarlett to that very short list. Great info. Beautifully delivered.
Fab video, as always, Jack - really cool... Of these new arrivals, I'm all in for the new Citroen eC3 - looking forward to finally having a comfortable ride on the UK's ever-worsening, pot-hole-riven road network...!! 🤗
Hi Jack. I hope you have a great 2024. I'd really appreciate it if you could dial down the 'Jackness' of your content somewhat, it would encourage me to watch more of your videos. And I'd appreciate that. Cheers, K.
Byd has some market with buses but is still building their network and market share with cars, mg4 and volvo are probably more popular brands in Europe meanwhile in Latin America,Australia they are very popular
Renault India has announced a localised EV in next 3 years. Hopefully it is based of the Kwid (Indian version of the spring) and will be available this year 🤞 in that case it'll become the cheapest EV available in our market.
More reviews for the US, please! I am the self-assigned pointer-outer of EVs in my family. The EV9 road by the other day and I didn't have any quick facts to rattle off. I'd be happy to help review EVs here if you need help.
Like Jack, I’m all about the Swedes in terms of excitement. Followed by the affordable French cars. Though I’d love to try a Cyberster when they finally come to showrooms.

Looking forward to having some large estates on the EV market. Love to see the A6 review. There are just too many SUVs which don’t cut it like the estate car.
I was getting concerned for those guys with smol pippies who have to prove it by making noise with their cars, but it looks like Dodge is still making cars for those "guys". And here I thought we had a future with silent nights ahead of us.
Man the Volvo EX30 will be an absolute game changer ! So much Swedish quality and sensibility for a low price! Also looking forward to hear about the cheap Dacia Spring!
I am as excited as you about the coming of many cheap small evz. The renault 5, id2 or possibly the citroen cv3 looks like cars that i would love to have and could afford. Would be fun to know how a used Renault zoe would compare to these economic alternatives.
I think the Seagul is the most interesting. EC3 too, but first reveals left me disappointed because of the price to value proposition. I think secondhand Kia's and Hyundai's oddly become more interesting if Kia and Hyundai can improve service. Also interested in Volvo, but from early looks I felt the Vilvo's were too much a compromise for the price, cleverly hidden by heritage and style. I havent had the privellage to own a VW to date. Autogefühl pleasantly recently showed the improved Id2All showroom concept, which put a smile on my face and a serious contender if VW is serious about this model and is willing to be a little more lenient on the amount of screen UI design customizations by third parties, the rear boot V2L actually supporting up to 3,6 Kwh at 220 V and one pedal to full stop driving, adaptive cruise control and excellent lane assist and 300 kilometer guaranteed all season all weather minimum range between 10-85% soc, even at 80% state of health battery is standard at 20000 euro sticker price, would be heaven.
I am keen to see you review the Smart #3, which I read is due to be launched early in 2024 in the UK. I tested the #1 recently, and was impressed. However, I need the slightly better rear legroom and boot space on offer with the #3, so am waiting to test that when it's available.
After the snake oil salesmen saying it's coming in 2009; 2010; 2011; 2021; 2022; 2023; and now 2024, I can see why Jack didn't add it. It's never coming.
Oh Jack! You thoroughly deserved your Christmas break but so glad you're back. Looking forward to most: Renault 5. Glad you got your left-hand fingers unstuck…
If you mention the Fisker Pear not due to 2025, I think you should have given the Aptera some mention. We should get a look at the production intent vehicle very shortly. Scrolling through here I'm inspired to see 7% of the comments mentioning Aptera!
Aptera does not slip Jack any money under the table like these other companies vying for publicity. What we are seeing is a bias against three wheeled vehicles. Aptera is poised to disrupt them all.

When we get to USA my eyes rolled so hard... In other parts of the world: Community changing cars, dynamic shifting, world transforming innovation... USA: Here's another unnecessarily big car that it's to expensive to make a change
Jack thanks, I'm two years or so from a new car so hopefully some of the ones you've mentioned will have had the bugs shaken out, I'm excited by Kia an Chevy entrants. I live in a rural area and we have relatively few car dealers near by and those two are the closest. While I hope my electric won't need much in the way of service until local garages get into the repair business for EVs, which I hear is beginning to happen in California I want a dealer I don't have to travel over an hour to if something needs attention.
So far, if I got to pick a current EV, I would be choosing between the Kia EV6 and the Ioniq 6. They may be different types of cars, but both seem to offer great battery quality and a fairly nice design. I'm eager to find out what EV battery technology will be bringing to the market in the next 3 to 5 years. Affordability is crucial, but quality is a must.
1:20 to 1:21 transition makes me feel the Mini Countryman or whatever it was is a sibling of the Ford Explorer at least due to the kind of animation and transition.
I had a walk around and sit down in the BYD Seal just before Christmas. It's an absolute beauty of a car. The ride height is nice and low. You feel quite centred among the action being basically atop the batteries. The boot/trunk is quite spacious, though the opening is a little limited (fine for a set of golf bats or some shopping though!). All in all, it's a great car for its price and I'm looking forward to seeing more next year.
Great content, and I LOVE the win95 graphics. I'm guessing the computer in the image is an old "AT" setup. Nevertheless, well done! I have a Hyundai Kona EV and absolutely love it. Current "bang for buck" winner at the moment, but FWD limits its appeal. Even though it is entry level, it is a fun car!
Thanks for the list. Very nice to listen to all the news. But you forgot to mention the facelifted e-Berlingo, which is getting slightly bigger (but most importantly) *LFP* battery.
Would love to see the Mini Cooper, have always loved minis and it would be nice to see your take on it Jack. Im also quite excited about another small car, the Renault 5. I mean for us who travel 1 mabye 2 persons in a car, it doesn't make any sense for us to buy or lease these big SUVs that the carmakers are pushing on us. I would almost be ashamed to drive a big car when I'm the only person in there...
I love this channel, just started watching these videos recently and definitely want to get a electric car in the future. I’ve been on the manhunt of looking at the latest fancy electrical cars. However I still have soft spot for old style grandpa sort of car. 😂 I am surprised in this video did not mention the Charge 67, oh well guess it won’t be on the market that soon, but on TH-cam I did not see anyone did a test drive with this car and it is an English brand…😢 so you guys please do a test drive with CHARGE!

Just been to the first showing of the ë-c3 in the UK hosted by What Car, one of only 3 pre production models worldwide, looking like it will be available in October, it will be worth the wait!
The Milano is not based on the Smart Car platform (from which Stellantis said 8 cars will be made) of the e-C3 but the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e's one. Also e-C3 Aircross (same Smart Car platform) will arrive this year. Dacia Spring will also get a refresh.
@@LoviJunior Smart Car is not a cheap platform, simply a new one requiring 40% less labour in factory. This platform and the e-CMP2 one which the Milano will also be based on are both developed by Peugeot.
By cheap platform I meant from car around 20k €, wheras Alfa will be around twice the price. Smart platform uses different battery, what is also cost cutting.

As an owner of a 2015 Nissan Leaf I can tell you that EVs have been far more affordable than the usual media outlets would have you believe. They have simply reached the point where it has become undeniable.
@trevorberridge6079 Absolutely, slowly that news will spread. Of course longer journeys need a little planning. But for day to day running about they really are affordable. But obviously oil companies don't want positive EV news to spread.
It would be nice to see the Renault and Citroen EVs in North America. What I am most looking forward to is the Aptera which should be in production this year. I hope you will do a detailed look at it.
I'm working from home right now, so at the rate I'm driving, I'm pretty sure that the Aptera, and possibly the Telos will be on the market by the time I need to replace my car. Of the cars I might actually see in the land of the allegedly free, I'm most intrigued by the electric Soul replacement.
It was never alleged to be free of gullible fools.
Erm, Fiat Panda not mentioned? To be launched July 2024. If you wanted a significant cheap EV, how could you have missed it!
And the Lania Ypsilon
Such a fun episode (love the graphics!)... I am looking forward to the Fisker Pear in 2024/5, both because it looks like an interesting and affordable city-sized (ie 'sized-for-the-city') car, but also because it will be a good indicator that Fisker have longevity in the market.
Hugely exciting car.
Why would you mention Fisker Pear and not Aptera. The Pear is definitely not supposed to come out until late 2025, Aptera is supposed to be 2024.
Late 2025 is believable for the Pear - 2030 is still unbelievable for the silly trike.
Hey Jack, you forgot Aptera in Q2 ‘24. 7000 in 2025. It’s small, but important. A grand grand project.
Also, would love to see those new companies offering EV conversions.
Someone mentioned Fisker, interesting cars there, no new ones next year?
Aptera: I bloody hope this is the year. We'll see.
Fisker: Next up is the Pear in '25 I believe
You left off your list the most awesome one of all! APTERA! 🌞
Windows 3.1 interface? Did VW inspire this retro UI?
😂😂
Renault R5 is the one I’m most excited about. I’d hope to see it in Australia but suspect we won’t.
Love ❤ the "Jack in the Box" retro style videography and not an Apple product placement in sight. Good job!
Great review, too bad you missed the best two on the way !! CANOO AND APTERA !!
Aptera is a scam. Best to wait until after someone ever buys one.
I am most excited about the small Mini EV, because finding a rare parking space is paramount in my American city (and Minis are super fun to drive).
New one looks a huge upgrade too. Will cover it ASAP!
With the Chinese import tariffs the rumor is we aren't actually going to get it in the US 😢 I hope they're wrong because it's what I'm hoping to get next
U forgot Aptera!!!
Seems like it will be a great year for EVs!
I’ll believe it when I see it for some of the legacy brands, but if the small cars can come cheap and still with decent range, they should sell like hot cakes!
Hey BMW merc and Volvo are ALL in the teens now for double digit ev sales. 👍🏻
Vag Ford gm and toyoduh though are struggling in ev only market share. 😀
Let's define "decent range". For most people most of the time they will never need more than 50 miles of range on any given day. For most people long trips will consist of no more than 150 miles of driving during which time they will stop at least once anyway. So their car would not need 150 miles of range to be practical. Anything above 90 miles would serve all purposes. My 24kwh 2015 Nissan Leaf is now down to 70-85 miles of range and there still isn't anywhere I can't drive. So it would be very rare to find any new EVs that are actually only good for "city driving" on the basis of range. Practical range is almost guaranteed for at least 90% of all potential EV adopters. That will very soon become 100%.
@@trevorberridge6079 I'm a very specific case, but I've been looking for cheap, small EVs with a *reliable* winter range of 150 miles (by which I mean: being able to drive that distance with heating actually turned on. I'm using a "200 mile range" electric van at work which I love dearly.. except for its range, which is more like 150 miles on a good day, and closer to 100 miles if I want the cabin at a reasonable temperature throughout, in the UK winter). Because for anything less than 80 miles I... well, I almost never need a car in the first place, as it's either in my town, or a single bus journey away (or I can do without it). Oh, and yes, that range is for return journeys, because the charging infrastructure around here still leaves much to be desired.
So, as far as I can tell, I need to look out for cars with *claimed* ranges of 250 miles or above to trust them to do 150 miles in the winter 🤷🏻 and that suddenly hasn't been easy to find any more (not at low prices, anyway). But luckily that's changing; MG4 is a good start, and more are appearing, so I should be able to make a choice soon
@@trevorberridge6079 Not sure if you are a handicapped person, my apologies if you are but I can certainly drive more that 150 miles without stopping and if I did need to it would be for a few minutes for a pee, not to have to wait for a charger to either be working or free then wait a half an hour to an hour waiting for it to charge.
What about Aptera Fully Charged?
What number is your ambassador ID?
Excellent overview with a humor level that only Jack can pull off.
You missed the Aptera 😢
Next year... Maybe... It's almost sort of ready but not quite
He missed the flying saucer also.
@@LoneWolf-wp9dn Next year it will be almost sort of ready but not quite.

For the next time you guys need background music of different regions, I recommend looking up region-specific downtempo hip-hop tracks instead of the normal traditional music of the region
For instance, jrap goes INCREDIBLY hard
I hope that the NEVS Emmely is going to make it to production this year. An other Swedish car would be nice.
Even if I wasn't following the ev car industry closely I think your videos would still be great fun! Always a pleasure, Jack!
Looking forward to seeing the Polestar 3 and 4 ⚡️👍🏻
Jack, love the retro format, but I think you were still 7 years from being BORN when Windows 3 was released in 1990 and 2 years from when Win95 came into being!
Very excited to see that genuinely affordable EVs are here and increasing in numbers. My trusty old Leaf is due to retire soon, so a shiny new car with 200+ mile range, that I can afford will be very welcome.
Missed the Aptera.
And the Unicorn.
@@aussieideasman8498 There ya go, brother. Aptera is a unicorn, like Tesla. You wouldn't know one if it bit you on the arse, eh. Thanks for the motivation.
@@barnabasseadog7660 Unicorn like kids think, not like businessmen think, but you already know that.
Great retro video guys. Jack delivers the humour with just the right amount of sarcasm. Going to be an interesting year for EV's I think.
Love that there are some smaller inexpensive (compared to the existing fleet) electric cars on the way. Hyundai Model 3, Volvo EX30, Renault 5 and the small citroen (sadly not likely to see many in North America, but that is life). And the profusion of LFP batteries in bigger sizes (eg. Zeekr golden battery) looks promising too.
maybe the e-C3 comes over the Chrysler Side of Stellantis or at least the next higher up in the Line
You're getting the Fiat 500e from this quarter.
When I think "perfect deadpan delivery", I typically think of Patrick Warburton. I am adding Jack Scarlett to that very short list. Great info. Beautifully delivered.
Windows 95 and my dial-up modem is struggling. Can you post me the floppy discs of this episode?
Man the writing and delivery on this video was absolutely on point. 👏👏
Had me genuinely snorting 😂
Fab video, as always, Jack - really cool...
Of these new arrivals, I'm all in for the new Citroen eC3 - looking forward to finally having a comfortable ride on the UK's ever-worsening, pot-hole-riven road network...!! 🤗
Hi Jack. I hope you have a great 2024. I'd really appreciate it if you could dial down the 'Jackness' of your content somewhat, it would encourage me to watch more of your videos. And I'd appreciate that. Cheers, K.
More 20-30k medium sized family cars needed please.. MG seem to be doing well but what about BYD ? More please…
BYD sold 1,158 cars in the UK in all of 2023. If they don't cut their prices, they are dead in the water.
Byd has some market with buses but is still building their network and market share with cars, mg4 and volvo are probably more popular brands in Europe meanwhile in Latin America,Australia they are very popular
LOVE the win 95 background. Very cute touch! Blending the past withe present! Cleverly done!
Renault India has announced a localised EV in next 3 years. Hopefully it is based of the Kwid (Indian version of the spring) and will be available this year 🤞 in that case it'll become the cheapest EV available in our market.
I personally can’t wait for the Aptera, the solar autocycle. We’ll hopefully see 5,000 by 2025.
More reviews for the US, please! I am the self-assigned pointer-outer of EVs in my family. The EV9 road by the other day and I didn't have any quick facts to rattle off. I'd be happy to help review EVs here if you need help.
Haha, I bet everyone who watches this channel is the self-assigned pointer-outer of EVs!
you'll definitely be seeing more of our man Ricky Roy this year - lots to talk about stateside in '24.
Informative, sarcasm, retro computer backdrop…. Good job old chap! Earned a subscription here!
Like Jack, I’m all about the Swedes in terms of excitement. Followed by the affordable French cars. Though I’d love to try a Cyberster when they finally come to showrooms.
This guy gets it!
Not long to wait now. MG has lately been seen playing with an uncamouflaged one near their Longbridge HQ.
The Renault 5 and similar! Please can you start commenting on the widths as parking and actually getting in and out is getting more and more tricky
No mention of Aptera or the Silverado EV? Unacceptable.
Aptera wasn't mentioned because it's not coming in 2024; nor 25; 26; 27; . . .
@aussieideasman8498 and when it does, I look forward to your apology. But we all know that you don't have the integrity for that, so I won't hold my breath.
@@Dr.Gehrig "and when it does, I look forward to your apology." I have promised an apology and will deliver. Not only that - I will put in an order for one (so long as every claim is fulfilled).
"But we all know that you don't have the integrity for that," If you're stupid enough to think the skin cooling works, then you're stupid enough to think I lack integrity. No surprise there.
"so I won't hold my breath." Do the world a favour and start now, lol.

@aussieideasman8498 if you have such an abundance of integrity I expect to hear from you within the next year or two for your apology. Until then I'd recommend to quit with all the ridiculous posturing you will also need to Apologize for.
@@Dr.Gehrig There's no such thing as an abundance of integrity. Intelligence - yes; integrity - no. Give me a list of my top 10 ridiculous posturing? I'll need to know them them for the apologies.
Looking forward to having some large estates on the EV market. Love to see the A6 review. There are just too many SUVs which don’t cut it like the estate car.
Where did you get a copy of Windows 12 OS?
What a brilliant presentation Jack, thoroughly enjoyed it. Jolly good chuckles in there too, thanks.👍👏
No mention of Aptera? Should also arrive in 2024 ...
Not likely until '25, but if the Fisker Pear got a mention then so should the much more exciting and interesting Aptera.
They are looking at what WILL arrive; should doesn't cut it.
@@lsh3rd Because it's only called a pear - not looks like one.
Pretty clever!! Your dial up connection was pretty darn good!! Sure do remember those days.
I was getting concerned for those guys with smol pippies who have to prove it by making noise with their cars, but it looks like Dodge is still making cars for those "guys".
And here I thought we had a future with silent nights ahead of us.
Thanks for the video, Jack and crew. I am waiting for the Renault 5 to come to Australia.
Widows 3.1, come on Jack, Xerox Smalltalk 76
Man the Volvo EX30 will be an absolute game changer ! So much Swedish quality and sensibility for a low price! Also looking forward to hear about the cheap Dacia Spring!
Well, the Dodge looks awesome!
Yup, it certainly does ... and I'm not even American!
Best presenter in this space. Loved this video.
Jack needs to be top of the list when Top Gear reboots again.
I am as excited as you about the coming of many cheap small evz. The renault 5, id2 or possibly the citroen cv3 looks like cars that i would love to have and could afford. Would be fun to know how a used Renault zoe would compare to these economic alternatives.
I think the Seagul is the most interesting. EC3 too, but first reveals left me disappointed because of the price to value proposition. I think secondhand Kia's and Hyundai's oddly become more interesting if Kia and Hyundai can improve service. Also interested in Volvo, but from early looks I felt the Vilvo's were too much a compromise for the price, cleverly hidden by heritage and style. I havent had the privellage to own a VW to date. Autogefühl pleasantly recently showed the improved Id2All showroom concept, which put a smile on my face and a serious contender if VW is serious about this model and is willing to be a little more lenient on the amount of screen UI design customizations by third parties, the rear boot V2L actually supporting up to 3,6 Kwh at 220 V and one pedal to full stop driving, adaptive cruise control and excellent lane assist and 300 kilometer guaranteed all season all weather minimum range between 10-85% soc, even at 80% state of health battery is standard at 20000 euro sticker price, would be heaven.
I am keen to see you review the Smart #3, which I read is due to be launched early in 2024 in the UK.
I tested the #1 recently, and was impressed. However, I need the slightly better rear legroom and boot space on offer with the #3, so am waiting to test that when it's available.
Aptera?
After the snake oil salesmen saying it's coming in 2009; 2010; 2011; 2021; 2022; 2023; and now 2024, I can see why Jack didn't add it. It's never coming.
Surely the BMW i3 was their first bespoke EV? (And have been laggardly in producing EV only models ever since.)
Great video Jack... Although BMW did already have a bespoke EV in the i3 (which they sadly ditched).
Keep up the good work.
Oh Jack! You thoroughly deserved your Christmas break but so glad you're back.
Looking forward to most: Renault 5.
Glad you got your left-hand fingers unstuck…
If you mention the Fisker Pear not due to 2025, I think you should have given the Aptera some mention. We should get a look at the production intent vehicle very shortly. Scrolling through here I'm inspired to see 7% of the comments mentioning Aptera!
Aptera does not slip Jack any money under the table like these other companies vying for publicity. What we are seeing is a bias against three wheeled vehicles. Aptera is poised to disrupt them all.
@@barnabasseadog7660And you'll say exactly the same thing in January 2025 when it still hasn't come out.
@@drunkenhobo8020 As an Accelerator I'll be getting one of the first 2000 vehicles anyways, whenever that happens. I'm commuting with an Arcimoto FUV in the meantime. I aint tripping over missed timelines.
When we get to USA my eyes rolled so hard... In other parts of the world: Community changing cars, dynamic shifting, world transforming innovation...
USA: Here's another unnecessarily big car that it's to expensive to make a change
Jack thanks, I'm two years or so from a new car so hopefully some of the ones you've mentioned will have had the bugs shaken out, I'm excited by Kia an Chevy entrants. I live in a rural area and we have relatively few car dealers near by and those two are the closest. While I hope my electric won't need much in the way of service until local garages get into the repair business for EVs, which I hear is beginning to happen in California I want a dealer I don't have to travel over an hour to if something needs attention.
So far, if I got to pick a current EV, I would be choosing between the Kia EV6 and the Ioniq 6. They may be different types of cars, but both seem to offer great battery quality and a fairly nice design.
I'm eager to find out what EV battery technology will be bringing to the market in the next 3 to 5 years.
Affordability is crucial, but quality is a must.
1:20 to 1:21 transition makes me feel the Mini Countryman or whatever it was is a sibling of the Ford Explorer at least due to the kind of animation and transition.
I had a walk around and sit down in the BYD Seal just before Christmas. It's an absolute beauty of a car. The ride height is nice and low. You feel quite centred among the action being basically atop the batteries. The boot/trunk is quite spacious, though the opening is a little limited (fine for a set of golf bats or some shopping though!).
All in all, it's a great car for its price and I'm looking forward to seeing more next year.
Slow charging speed tho
Are Stellantis doing anything with the Fiat 500e platform? It’s not like them to only have one car on a bespoke platform.
I'm hoping to see Nio resume their efforts to sell in the UK.. Especially with that option to hire a 150kWh battery for the long journeys.
Missed INDIA
Checkout Tata & Mahindra launches
Mahindra THAR EV Concept is mindblowing
I wish the Dacia Spring had 3 seat belts in the rear if only just for kiddie school/club runs. They would be the prefect second car..
Great content, and I LOVE the win95 graphics. I'm guessing the computer in the image is an old "AT" setup.
Nevertheless, well done!
I have a Hyundai Kona EV and absolutely love it. Current "bang for buck" winner at the moment, but FWD limits its appeal. Even though it is entry level, it is a fun car!
"when the Mayfair Waitrose car park gets too icy" 😂😂😂
You missed the flat pack car the guy from scrap heap challenge did a video on.
Thanks for the list. Very nice to listen to all the news.
But you forgot to mention the facelifted e-Berlingo, which is getting slightly bigger (but most importantly) *LFP* battery.
Would love to see the Mini Cooper, have always loved minis and it would be nice to see your take on it Jack. Im also quite excited about another small car, the Renault 5. I mean for us who travel 1 mabye 2 persons in a car, it doesn't make any sense for us to buy or lease these big SUVs that the carmakers are pushing on us. I would almost be ashamed to drive a big car when I'm the only person in there...
Thanks for the info on 2024 EV's. We would chose the Renault R5 for looks, and when it has the LFP battery we would probably buy one for the €25k.
I love this channel, just started watching these videos recently and definitely want to get a electric car in the future. I’ve been on the manhunt of looking at the latest fancy electrical cars. However I still have soft spot for old style grandpa sort of car. 😂
I am surprised in this video did not mention the Charge 67, oh well guess it won’t be on the market that soon, but on TH-cam I did not see anyone did a test drive with this car and it is an English brand…😢 so you guys please do a test drive with CHARGE! Please!
I love YOU! Best presentation in a while!😁😂 from Sweden with love!
Just been to the first showing of the ë-c3 in the UK hosted by What Car, one of only 3 pre production models worldwide, looking like it will be available in October, it will be worth the wait!
Rivian R2 isn't scheduled for release in 2024, but I suspect we'll get to see some pre-production versions this year.
Keen to see what that audi A6 is going to be like. Bring on the electric estates!
The Milano is not based on the Smart Car platform (from which Stellantis said 8 cars will be made) of the e-C3 but the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e's one. Also e-C3 Aircross (same Smart Car platform) will arrive this year. Dacia Spring will also get a refresh.
Right! He didn’t prepare, and what he said is hurting future Alfa image, as an expensive car, based on cheap platform, not worth a penny.
@@LoviJunior Smart Car is not a cheap platform, simply a new one requiring 40% less labour in factory. This platform and the e-CMP2 one which the Milano will also be based on are both developed by Peugeot.
By cheap platform I meant from car around 20k €, wheras Alfa will be around twice the price. Smart platform uses different battery, what is also cost cutting.
@@LoviJunior Indeed you're right. Smart Car will be for Citroën, Fiat and Opel, maybe Peugeot but not Alfa, Jeep and beyond.
