@@SpaceReportNews WTF r u talking about？hi-tech electric car is a shame in America?
You forgot to talk about Genesis eG80
caddy will put my 2011 LEAF to SHAME, especially creature comfortr and most of all...R A N G E no more RA (Range Anexiety)
Time stamps would be great!
Seriously. Saves time
There is no competition without a charging infrastructure.
Exactly.
😊😊Agree
I sadly have to agree. With the Tesla you just go to a Supercharger, and it works. With another car... i often get Issues.. or i take a Ionity charger... (Company that provides chargers in Europe. They are owned/operated by BMW, mercedes, VAG, Hyundai, and Ford is hanging in there as well. Which also means, that you get a pretty much 50% discount for two years on charging if you buy a specific EV model of them) which charge more then double from everyone else. And not even those work all the time.
Agree, the EA station by me is junk. complete PITA to get in and out of.
Electrify America is fast making that statement untrue
In France we ve got many small EVs and future productions :
Renault Zoé is mostly driven by administration and local compagnies for 5 years now.
We could also buy the sweet Peugeot e-208/Opel e-Corsa and the new Citroën C4 (136hp). The future e308 (golf segment) is also coming.
Renault is doing things on Nissan electric base and a future sporty Alpine E SUV is coming next 2023.
I have to say, this was an impressive list. Thank you for collecting all of this in a digestible format for those of us on the edge of taking the plunge into an electric commuter car! I can't wait to hear details about the new EV rebate legislation I keep hearing about, especially timing!
The Ioniq 5 looks really good. Great styling, good range, faster charging, affordable.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for this video! 2022 will gonna be a great year for EVs. greetings from Germany
Thank you for being the only one not standing in the doveish echo chamber. Your awesome man I love all your content
Hmm
Ryan Shaw, you da man!!! Love your content and how professional you deliver it! Keep up the great work! I’m always looking forward for what you drop next.
Thank you for the comparisons. Right now the one downer to ID4 is the dealers marking up price. Looking forward to the VW Electric Bus
Don't Forget about Lucid Air! Should be coming out later this year and can't wait to see them on the road
Makes every other luxury EV look like last year's design--simply a beautiful car!
@@britking right, Still love for tesla thought, But the way lucid is designed to perfection makes it all so better
@@Minaj4Cardi well we need more than just Tesla and lucid we need to scale the ev market and get the gas cars off the road
@@Jayismynickname right, I don’t get why these new electric car company’s wanna go against each other when they should work with each other
It would've been nice to include some tables at the end, comparing the most similar vehicles around the same price points and/or some other stats.
Personally like ioniq5. Looks futuristic and packing of features! Pricepoint is also competitive.
Many manufacturers offer Tesla charging adapters. You can use Teslas network with one on a non Tesla vehicle.
Kia is a subsidiary of the Hyundai motor group. Their 3rd brand, Genesis, will offer the GV60 electric SUV. HMG has 10 planned electric vehicles in the near future.
I don't think you mentioned nio / lucid , I might have missed them because you had such a big detailed list!
good research though! keep up the good work
Favs: Model Y, ID 4, Chevy Bolt (tough to beat for the money). Looking forward to seeing Ionic 5 and Ariya in person Spotted my first Rivian this week in San Diego. Manufacturer license plates.
I must say Kia EV6 GT is my favorite, fast charing, V2L (Vehicle to Load) meaning using your car as battery for other eletronics can power average house for 24hrs with A/C and TV on, pretty impressive, multi charging adapter so you dont need multiple charging adapters to carry, LG Chem built / SK Chem built batteries, very spacious, long wheel base, to name few. it will just be the matter of having charging network for all these new vehicles. always appreciate your great contents, congrats on 100K
I certainly like the design and features of the KIA EV6. KIA is an undervalued and underestimated vehicle in North America.
GREAT CHANNEL. Really informative. Keep it up
Champagne for 100k subscribers! Congrats Ryan!
finally had to subscribe and i NEVER subscribe to things. i find myself always watching your videos when i see them as it is. Might as well get them notifications now too lol. Keep up the good videos man!
Thanks for the informative information. I think in the next couple years the best of the best will surface and choices will be easier.
Very informative, all the new EVs in one place, thank you.
You sure put a lot of work into your vids. Thanks for that!
Always my go to guy for my Tesla fill. And now EV info in general. I will definitely use your referral code when i purchase my first Tesla!
Good luck. I'll stop and give you a lift when you're stuck on the side of the road.
Wow! So many choices. They all look fantastic! Every legacy car manufacturer is devoting unprecedented resources to interior and exterior design. 2022 is Prom Night for Electric Vehicles and everyone is dressing to impress. I can’t pick a favorite. Hyundai’s iconiq is one of my favorite compact crossovers.
I dream about an Electric Ford F-150 Raptor.
Correction- I was just at a Chevy dealer a week ago and checked the sticker on the bolt. Fast charging is not standard, it is a $750 option and is limited to 50 kw, not really that fast. My tesla I believe is 250kw.
Congrats on 100k!
Great video! I am excited about all of these new cars coming out, especially the Rivian! Though I am also exciting to see what Tesla will come up with!
Been watching your videos for months. Subscribed!
Just bought a Tesla Y... looked at everything, almost bought the Jaguar, but thought I should go with who knows electric best. Lucid is NICE, but too much for my budget. No current rebates for Tesla, the federal grants are all used up and the Massachusetts rebate is ONLY for cars under $50,000.
Me: Watching to see what options are out there
Also me: Refuses to replace a 2005 Toyota Corolla
When you consider the initial buying cost it makes sense. How ever you don't realise that you are loosing $5000 a year for petrol, spare parts and service by owning one of these ICE vehicles. On the other hand if you own a Tesla, the savings you make each year will pay for the vehicle by itself and when you sell, the depreciation is very little. Technically you dont loose any money.
@@henrythe8912 That is patently false. You always lose money.
@@henrythe8912 You make it sound like Tesla's don't break, they don't need parts, and they're cheap to repair. LOL boy have you got a lot to learn.
@@henrythe8912 I doubt that Ruby's 2005 Corolla would still be losing $500, year on year out.
The thing is, Ruby's happy with the 2005 Corolla & would know that trading it in, whether today or 5 years away it's not going to make much difference.
Meanwhile, the 2005 Corolla's getting the job done & petrol's cheap.
Also, don't assume that everyone can afford a new Tesla.
Thanks for the informative overview. Just curious, why did you not mention Lucid, they are beginning to advertise on TV and are taking reservations for the Lucid Air?
As Always great Information Thank you!, What about Aptera?
The Rivian SUV is gorgeous!! But I love my MY!! Great to have so many options coming out!!
Wow! Great video. I liked the most the one from Mercedes and Cadillac
Getting into my garage it has to get 300+ miles. Currently own the Mach-e and it does. Great BEV! The BMW I4 for 2022 has caught our eye. A friend for our horse, we'll see.
That Rivian SUV look gooood, especially in that green. it looks like cool take on a Range Rover
great video. i have an ice f250 as my faily drover and occasuonal tow vehicle. i am torn between getting the least expensive electric truck or the least expensive car as my daily driver. my ice truck i would only use for towing.
Just realized you Sooooo close to 100K! You have deserved it my friend!
Never been a Hyundai or KIA fan but they're designs are spot on - the IONIQ is one of the best looking EV in the video and with 800V charging capacity and quick performance makes it very compelling. It feels like the car market is being turned upside down and we can expect some bumps along the way. Let's hope it makes a real difference for the better in air quality and in the way we consume energy. I am skeptical of the Rivian's plans to build out their own charging network and it feels like we have been hearing about them for so long with no actual product that I wonder if they'll ever get anything off the ground. I really like the Rivian R1S SUV. I am not a fan of giving Silicon Valley any more power or influence than they already have and I feel like EV's will be a step in the wrong direction in that regard. The BMW is by far the ugliest EV in the video and it really wouldn't hurt my feelings if they just went away altogether. Mazda is 7 years behind. Cadillac is going back to its roots and taking huge risks that will likely pay off with unmatched bling. I seriously can't believe Subaru is so far behind as their customer base seems like the perfect market for EV's. The Hummer is just nuts and very expensive, it's like the off road version of the Escalade in an EV. In this video's broader context, the Cybertruck just looks crazy to me and as good as it will likely be it makes such a strong statement it will only be for those willing to draw that line in the proverbial social and cultural sand. Like a ski resort that doesn't allow snowboarding to appeal to the old school crowd, Dodge may be holding out to be the petrol-head groupie brand with a focus on massive power from gas powered Detroit-style behemoths. The EV Ford F150 will be a huge seller if they can get the range and towing power right and I imagine it will offer a million options.
Kia got new design and engineering directors 2 years ago bout from bmw
that was great thanks... I think the Nissan Ariya is the one, but I have a cyber truck waiting for and I would really like to make a side by side comparison
Almost at 100k!
!
Yes indeed! Thanks so much for the support. Can't believe we're this close!
You deserve more subs
@@RyanShawtech You deserve a million 👍👍
+ 1 after watching this comment.
The important information about these cars from the ICE giants is how many are they intending to sell and which ICE models in their line up are they planning to remove or reduce to make room?
Very informative ..Thank You !
The Ioniq 5 is built on the same E-GMP platform as the KIA EV, not on the existing Ioniq platform!
Ryan - thanks for another awesome video, I'm a huge fan. I'm on the pre-order list for the Tri-Motor Cybertruck but honestly the Rivian R1S is a very attractive SUV.
I have an pre-order for cyber truck as well but think the rivian is very compelling. But after I thought about it it became clear that for the value of ehat the cyber truck offered it was the clear leader. It seems that rivian is doing many of the things tesla has put in place. But any time you go with a new company you will likely invariably get pinched by growing pai s such as available parts, repaire and support issues. For those and range/price cyber truck got my order.
@@dkositsky I agree with you.
The cybertruck has totally grown on me. I have a family of 6 so need something that we can all fir in. I prefer Tesla - wish they had an SUV that looked more rugged like the R1S. I get they are more about function and so their Model X is aerodynamic but I'd like a rugged looking 7 seater from Tesla.
Ionic 5 is going to be a serious competitor.
Wish the panoramic roof was an option instead of standard on some of these cars. Was never a fan... very informative video, enjoyed watching it. Keep up the great work!
The Nissan Ayria....have a Leaf and love it but would like more bells and whistles and obviously, more range. I have a Model S, too with a 360 mile range..fantastic vehicle.
Ryan why did you not mention Lucid Motors in this video?I enjoyed viewing it just wondering why that company was not mentioned?
I've been hearing that Tesla won't deliver the plaid model s till July. Is that true?
Its June 3rd. The F-150 Lightning Looks amazing.
It’s the same old truck with a new grill. Where’s the style that should herald the new coming age of electric future?
subaru ev looks exactly like toyota announced BZ4X... looks like a collaboration
Subaru is partially owned by Toyota and is very much in the Toyota family. Their electric vechical is going to be nearly the same as Toyota's.
Besides the 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+ I actually kind of like the Polestar 2 (a sub Volvo brand) It uses Android automotive and has a super fast Infotainment system. I was really impressed with you walk through of all the new cars. Thanks. Per (DK)
Thinking of AWD versions of BMW i4 and Kia EV6. Prefer hatchbacks to SUVs or CUVs. Need AWD for rain or snow handling. Fast charge more important than range.
You didn’t include Lucid vehicles in your great video. Any reason?
Also, do you know if Elon’s recent switch away from LiDar will affect existing Tesla owners? Will the LiDar be deactivated in an upcoming OTA update??
In the beginning of the video He said he wanted to include only popular affordable brands. Lucid is not that popular and besides the base model is not very affordable
Great video as always
My favorite would have to be the Rivian R1S because it meets what kind of car we would get next. I have always been a Tesla fan so I could see a Y in my future but never an X due to their efficiency and design.
Context: I’ve owned a Nissan Leaf and I now own a Chevy Bolt 2017
The VW ID.4 is similar to Tesla MY in size. CUV class.
The ID.3 is more like TM3 type of car, but smaller (golf size) & with a hatchback trunk.
I'm going to get a Sono Sion as soon as it comes on the market, bye bye charging, hello sun! Combined with my solar roof I can even power my entire house with it, do peak shifting, have power back-up... suntastic!
Thanks Ryan, as for my favorites, I'm looking for a Tesla Model Y in the next year if they incorporate a better suspension system than current. The other maker I look forward to in 3 to 5 years is Subaru because they know how to make cars suited to winter and back road driving with a higher ground clearance than the Model Y. Subaru may find itself well suited to filling the gap in Tesla's lineup with a less city oriented approach. However the future offerings 3 to 5 years out may include a Tesla to fill that gap on their own. To do that Tesla will need higher ground clearance, better suspension, better tires and reduced 0 to 60 performance in favor of higher range as much as 500+ miles. We'll see. Cheers, Sideman
Hands down my favorite is the hummer. Large battery, 20 minute charging, spacious and powerful, endless utility, fast acceleration, decent brand and looks amazing. My only real gripe is the price point. I mean, i get it. Alot of perks and good bang for your buck. But what is the point of establishing product dominance if only a hanful of people can even obtain it. I hope to see more reasonably priced options like this in the future
Ioniq 5 ! My favorite.
Thanks Ryan for a great run-down of EVs. My choice is still the Tesla line, preferably the Model 3 for it's range. I live on a well-maintained packed gravel and dirt road system of 6 miles. In this environment, I hope to see some real-world videos. It's not an off-road development but it is also not a chip-sealed system. The Model Y has a little more ground clearance than the Model 3 but is pricier and has less range. If a higher ground clearance can be achieved on a Model 3, that would be my clear choice. That all adds up to my being in a wait-and-see mode although I will be trying a test drive in the M3 sometime soon on roads like my home system.
The Ioniq 5 is my favorite, Lyriq and Rivian are amazing too.
Is the Ioniq 5 available from dealers?
the BYD x dream has blade batteries, 1 million kms before battery drops below 80% capacity, 500km range and in Australia it will cost $35,000 and will be here early 2022, It is a front wheel drive SUV
Hello interested question for you guys please
What would be the range with aircondition on as there is a time you need it as we are not from Alaska ???
AC makes close to no difference in range. As a general rule, range gets bigger the hotter it gets. It's really wet roads, cool temperatures, and the heater which consume range.
The F150 Lightnings starting price is 40k and max of 90k. Range is 400 plus as it’s 300 mile range was given with a 1000 pound payload. Guys who are testing it now are saying 450 at 80% charge
Kia and Hyunday look the best
Good synopsis of the up and coming EV world....you hit on the key issues, is there a charging network like Tesla has, and will the other manufacturers besides Tesla have access to batteries.
favorite on the list is Aptera and Kandi!
I would like the egmp genesis tbh. But the kia ev6 gt looks great, have a feeling it’ll be hard to snag one due to dealerships being clueless. I like the hyundai style more but no concrete info on n version
The TSLA competition tag line has been used since the 2012.
That tag line is like whipping on a dead horse.
The blue cruise option is a $600 OTA option for the Mach E and the f150 gas truck.
The MBUSA EQS will be a 2.5 hrs to be disassemble and then 2.5 hrs to reassemble and not including the bench time for the repairs.
Gotta keep the money scheme flowing.
The compute jargon of EQS is essentially trying to compete against the plaid S on the compute power.
You can’t just throw compute power @ the problem without the software.
My next vehicle will be an ev. The Tesla supercharger network is a point in their favor. I live in the south, so one of the last areas that will probably get massive electric charging investments. There is some, so not like completely void, but it is sparse in areas. Still might end up renting a gas vehicle for some trips based on charger locations if I went non Tesla. We shall see.
I’m liking what Polstar have in the offerings -practical, safe, fast.
You missed the Toyota bz4x
Thanks for this great video! I like the Ionic 5, looks futuristic. BUT, with the all-new G-IMP- platform, I'm surprised the range isn't longer than other brands. That's a disappointment.
These new batteries... any idea when they will be avail in the model 3?
Good information..
Biggest problems with most competitors:
1. No easy and vast charching network such as Tesla (at least in Europe where I live)
2. Still most other car manufactures have not yet mastered the software part - Over the air updates, battery management, infotainment system, reliable navigation to available charging points.
3. Performance wise almost no other EV offers the speed, acceleration and/or efficiency for the same price
4. Equipment, most traditional auto makers confuse with packages and extras not included in the base model or even higher settings. Take for example the VW ID3 it looks a lot cheaper than the Model 3, well it is not, in order to just get close to the M3 specs in range, acceleration and other features you have to get a much higher line, the heat pump cost extra etc. after adding all that it’s far more expensive.
I do think though that others have started to make some very interesting cars which are great within small distances, but except some more expensive cars such as the Audi e-tron or the Porsche Tycan most of those cars are not for long range due to the above mentioned lack of charging infrastructure or at least it’s inconvenience. How are you going to convince a ICE car driver that EV’s are a good thing if he has to have a bunch of plastic cards for several different charging providers in his wallet and/or he has to download an app and then it doesn’t work and and and. It has to be convinient. Plug in and go.
Less than 300mile is hard to be very popular, when you factor in cold weather reduce battery life, 300 mile in winter maybe only 250mile in full charge
Having owned a 2018 Nissan Leaf SL for going on 4 years, my wife & I are most interested in the Nissan Ariya for a follow-on vehicle. The Chevrolet was an interesting alternative but is no longer in production. The Bolt variations really don't impress us, so at this point the Ariya is top on our list followed be Tesla Model 3 or maybe Model Y. That said, we expect to keep our current Leaf for a few more years so the playing field may be vastly different when it's time to purchase again. p.s. I liked this vid!
What about the Silverado BEV?
almost at a 100k subscribers!
I'm honestly excited for all of the EVs to come out. As we have seen in the past its a whether or not they actually get out on to the road. I am personally interested in the CyberTruck though. So abstract and interesting with the most to offer in my opinion
I seem to recall that you must keep your hands on the wheel on the VW vs not with the super cruise. A non-starter for VW for me!
You forgot Fisker Ocean.
My phone is an android, not Iphone will it work with these cars that have that appleplay?
Very comprehensive review. One point (which is not your fault) is that you are directly relating the info from the EV automakers, and unfortunately they have gotten into the bad habit of listing the lowest model's price together with the top model's acceleration and extended range. This is a bait and switch technique where uneducated buyers think that the entry level EV also is capable of fast acceleration and long driving range. Which is a lie. When they are showing the longer range capability, they need to show the matching higher price, and the same goes for any performance/dual-motor models, which cost more. Mazda's MX-30 is supposed to get a small rotary gas generator PHEV model, but the shipping timeframe and capabilities are not yet known. I missed seeing mention of Lucid Motors and Aptera, which are also due later this year. Dodge/Chrysler will probably get an EV infusion from parent company Stellantis' European EV products, but not for another year or two. I think that Tesla's competition will heat up in Europe with the German-built Model Y production starting (hopefully) July-August, and those new models will be getting Tesla's own 4680 batteries, and their cast front and real subframes. The question is whether or not those revised , 4680 battery powered Model Ys will be built and sold in the U.S. later this year, produced in Giga Texas!
虽然也喜欢Model Y，但总算有个综合性比较的视频啦。将来可以多进行这样的跨品牌深度比较分析，这样更能帮助大家做出最好的电动车消费选择。谁还没几个人是中文的朋友啊，博主想看懂很容易的哈。
While you also like Model Y, there is a comprehensive video comparison. More cross-brand depth analysis can be done in the future to help you make the best consumer choices for electric vehicles. No one is a friend in Chinese yet. Bloggers want to understand it easily.
Any thoughts on Lucid?
Ioniq5 is a future popular one in this house - my wife particularly like it
Be prepared to pay a $10k "limited supply" surcharge at the dealer ;)
What are your thoughts on Lucid?
I'm sorta in the market for an EV and really looking at getting into one this year or next year. I have a 2013 Kia Optima and not impressed with their current EV's but their EV6 does look impressive to me. It's sister company Hyundai with the Ionic 5 is also on my list. The ID4 is on that list as an option. The one I really want to see up close is the Nissan Ariya. Other than the ID4 it's one of the few out there that look like the everyday car without looking too futuristic or oddly shaped.
You know...0 to 60 is important but not a selling point for me. All of the other things like fit and finish, options, reliability, warranty are a few of the main things that interest me. The biggest items are cost and range. Even though the average person drives less than 40 miles a day it's still nice to have the ability to get into and EV and not have to worry about stopping too many times. Even though that in of itself isn't a deal breaker. The last on though is "price". The question then will the price be enough to lure me in. Each one of the vehicles on my list are coming in $40k to 50K. Then the question at that point is do I go with one of the mainstream companies for that price or invest in a Tesla. Ultimately over the next year I'm going to be weighing that out.
I will say that this is a great time to be looking at these vehicles even if you're still unsure if you want to get one. You're starting to see increased competition and see companies produce better and better vehicles. Holding off may be a good idea for some as you could get a old of a good EV giving you 300+ mile range and not breaking the wallet at the same time.
Great reporting
No mentioning of Lucid motors?? This company is super interesting!
I am looking at the Kia EV 6 or the Mach E
You made a brief comment on the Polestar, do you have any further details?
Probably 10 years from maturity - cheap and amazing range with leaps in battery tech improvements
Should I buy a tesla model 3 or which model should I buy, if I drive 130 miles everyday
Or should I buy a Toyota hybrid
