At Electrifying.com we’ve driven and tested hundreds of electric cars. But the question we get asked the most is…. What cars do we spend our own hard earned cash on?
We drive every new car that comes on to the market to help you make your choice. But that’s not all, we can say with confidence that we’re the electric car experts, because we choose, buy and run our own - just like you.
We know how much they cost to run, because we have to pay for it. We take them for MoTs. We wait at broken chargers and spend long enough with them that we even work out what the buttons do. Mostly.
And, for the first time, we’ve assembled all our cars in the same place at the same, so we can say what we love - and hate about the cars we actually own.
If you own the same models and agree or disagree with our verdicts, please let us know in the comments below

It's a shame that all we learnt about the Ionic was the guy wanted to give it a wrap to make it more like his shirt
Agree - shocking poor review of car of the year
Yeah, that was kinda sad.
He seems a little unhappy with his recent purchase, buyer's remorse perhaps?
On the I-Pace, the speed camera warning beeps are connected to the SatNav voice guidance volume. So if you start navigating a route and turn the volume down whilst the SatNav lady is talking to you, as well as turning down your guidance volume, it will also turn down the camera beeps. If you’re really quick you can also do it when it’s beeping, but it’s much easier to do it when she’s telling you what your next turn will be as you have a bigger time window in which to do it.
Thank you so much - will try that!
I own a Peugeot e-2008.
Love the car.
Drove it from Norway Trondheim to Denmark Billund and back again this summer.
Journey that ended up in total 3147km at the end with small trips here and there.
I used the Tesla supercharger network and I have to be honest and say it was just brilliant 👍
I'm having one delivered on Friday :)
@@Harbourmaster68 congratulations 🥳
Bit disappointed that you concentrated only the things the owner didn’t like on the IONIQ 5. No mention of the driving, comfort, etc, whereas you mentioned several of the positive points on all the other cars. I know you don’t particularly like the IONIQ 5 (that came across in your review of it), but at least try to be balanced in your reviews when you do these comparisons.
They did say that it was voted world car of the year 2022, which is really the most positive thing you can say about a car...
Yes, but that was repeating what other organisations have said. The owner of the car didn’t make one really positive comment.
@@ChrisdyMD It did say, however, that it had many features...
I totally agree about your seemingly negative attitude regarding the Ioniq 5. There are plenty of good reasons it won both the World Car of the Year 2022 and World EV of the Year 2022. I own an AWD version and my wife and I both love it. We think it's the best car we've ever owned and I've been driving over 50 years(!) so have driven and owned many different vehicles.
Regarding the lack of a rear wiper, try spraying the rear screen with a ceramic coating, such as those made by Turtle Wax. It won't be as good as a rear wiper but it'll certainly help displace the water and it's one more item that doesn't need to be replaced!
@@GeoffBee1 - totally agree with your comments. I have had my IONIQ 5 AWD LR P45 version for 10 months and also think it’s the best car I have ever owned. I had the whole car ceramic coated, including the windows, and it makes a huge difference. I rarely have a problem seeing out the rear window, although snow would still be an issue without a rear wiper.
My Tesla is amazing. Not had a single issue, other than an Amazon van scraping my front bumper. Build quality is fantastic, everything works no gaps or anything falling off, maybe I was just lucky. Lovely to drive. Might upgrade to the Performance model in a year or two.
Since May I own an EV6 77,4 kWh AWD and I made one of my best car decisions, after owning many Mercedes, BMW 5-Series and also a Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4. On Highways (120 + 5 Max.) and on Mountain routes I consume 14,8 to 16,8 kWh. I also once considered an iPace, but fortunately my car dealer has booth Brands under his roof. Actually KIA is beating even a Model Y. Drivetrain is perfectly balaced, and after Mercedes-AMG and Maserati, it‘s the third car that uses a high-tech Suspension coming close to the iPace I also had for one week. Don‘t forget that Alfred Biermann - after leading BMW M Sports for 30 years - was the responsible. On the other side I did even not need the 585 HP GT, I have enough power with measured 333 HP and 608 nM. 0-100 km/h in 5,2 seconds keeps track with EQE and iPace. So the KIA is the leader in all classes in a long distance rating by P3 and ADAC, with for the first time ever rating index of 1.03; an EQS next positionned but top class got index 0.92 and the iX xDrive50 0.91, same as the 2021 Ioniq 5. Than comes Porsche Taycan GTS - also with 800 Volts-architecture - and 0.90. Also the Kia charges at an average of 203 from SoC 10-80%, while Jaguar forgot any updates so far. Imagine that a Tesla M3 LR charges only with an average of 146 kW. And against any Jaguar I make 100 Km more in distance. I also can tow 1600 Kg, even EQE/EQS have only possibly 750 kg on the hook. Not enough for my horses. 😜😎✌️By the way EV-Supercar builder and now owner of Bugatti, Mate Rimac, Porsche and Hyundai Group sit in the same boat so to say. So forget about prejudices you might have, Kia is the new Audi and actually the best deal you can get, and you will have no problems at your country or golf club for sure!
Glad that you are happy with your choice. I own 2 EVs and never going back.
We've ended up with 2 leafs, there's an aftermarket 40kwh active liquid cooled battery in the works here in new Zealand that in definitely watching kit for to extend the range. It makes the old 24kwh model a very compelling buy if the range can be sorted out.
Can't get a Peugeot here. I had a LEAF for 6 years and loved it. I've now had a Model 3 for 4 years and enjoy it, but to be brutally honest, it's losing its charm for me. Some of that tech was fun at first; now I rarely use all those whiz-bang, unnecessary features, and would just as soon still have my LEAF -but with the Model 3's range. I'm now seriously thinking of moving to a Hyundai Ioniq 5. I love that car, despite a few quirks (like not having a rear window wiper). Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to find a Limited edition here: way too much demand for it with very little supply.
Hello! Thank you for your service in putting electric car info out there! My wife and I bought a top of the line Ioniq 5 AWD and think it is wonderful! It was our first brand new car ever and our first full EV ever. (I’ve been driving a Volt now for over a year) It is such a beautiful car 😊 Like the i-Pace, I so enjoy the cooling seats!!! Love the Vision glass, the speed, the roominess, and the fact that it’s so fricking cool looking!
Thanks again for what you’re doing🤟🏻
I was surprised to see how little the COO/CFO had to say about the Ioniq.
Love the leaf. Always overlooked even by Nissan. If they switched the charger it would be a huge seller. People just fear chademo.
Lots of networks such as applegreen electric don’t even have it so there’s no point getting one these days
I really enjoy watching your shows, but as a Motability user who wants to get an electric vehicle l do get frustrated when l enjoy watching your plug (excuse the pun) for a vehicle only to find it’s not available on Motability. Could you every so often do a review of vehicles coming up on the scheme? I’m hoping that the Smart #1 is available. Keep it up. 10/10.
As a fellow Motability customer, I share your frustration with some car manufacturers on the scheme. I had to choose a replacement car last December and had a shortlist of 3 EVs (Kona, ID3 & Zoe) only to discover VW had dropped the ID3 from the scheme a couple of months prior. I went with the Kona and have no regrets with my choice. BTW, Hyundai said last year the ioniq 5 would be coming to the scheme but is yet to make an appearance. Oh and I totally agree about the Smart #1, would be great to see that too!
@@Moggster23 Another Motability user here sharing the frustration that the number of really different EVs ( i.e. different models not just variants ) available on the scheme is actually going down right now. It's almost certainly the fact that demand way outstrips supply so I think the manufacturers don't see the need to put their models into the scheme - or if they do, then they charge an outrageous upfront amount to claw back some extra cash. Let's hope the chip shortage sorts itself out soon......
@@thelaserhive3368 absolutely, last year there were 87 electric cars and today it's down to 50. I paid £499 advance payment on my Kona, today the advance payment is £1,099.
That was VERY nicely done, you two. Hearing the variety of +'s and -'s from the variety of owners is not something I've seen before. Extra credit, Electrifying!
As a Model 3 owner I can honestly say I have zero build issues with the Shanghai built model. I think journalists need to realise that a lot has changed in the last 3 years of the Model 3 and not always turn to the build quality as the negative.
In a world where charging networks and reliability of those charging networks is key for the transition of ICE, technology wins.
A friend of mine works for tesla and owns a model 3 but even he says that the build quality still isn't as good as the competitors.
He did show his build quality issue. To be honest, I wouldn’t be happy if I paid that much for a car and the brake looked welded on.
I have a Model 3 and the main thing I'm tired of is the crappy reliability and build quality. The air vents fell out, the window switches stopped working and random trim falls off. It's also been recovered twice in 25k miles. It's not at all what I would expect from a premium vehicle. So far I give it a 4/10. No more.
It is interesting how everyone has a different experience, I've not had a single build quality or reliability problem in my m3 after 30k miles (just a puncture) albeit it is a facelifted China model. The quality is no worse or even actually better than the vag group cars I've had *other than audi
@@BS25999 Extremely high rarity and I’m not exactly sure how an air vent falls out of a Model 3 when there aren’t really any vents as such, it’s a hole? My 2017 Audi window switches failed and cost me £250. All cars have minor failures.
Another great upload, I have the Jaguar I pace.Amazing car and I just love it.Bought it after cancelling an Ioniq5 after a 5 month wait.
The navigation and only one available voice for directions and the lack of Apple CarPlay is a big negative for the Tesla 3 the drivetrain and charging network are amazing.
Great episode, good to hear some honest comments about the cars. I've got the e-208 GT. You can update the DAB radio stations on the 'list' tab.
I have a Mini Cooper SE. I work from home and charge at home and find the range to be surprisingly good, you can get more out of than they say if you drive well. The quality of the build and the feel on the road is unlike any car I have ever had.
I drove a 208-e gt for a bit and it felt like a plastic toy compared to the Mini. Bad handling and tacy insides. Unreliable range. Very comfy seats though and spacious.
I tried the BMW i3 for a few months and it was brilliant but couldn't get used to the look.
The leaf is nice and sturdy but a bit dull inside and out. Range is not reliable either.
After having a few bad experiences with chrging stations, my next car is gonna be a model 3. You just can't beat the reliability of their network.

Not a premium car at all, my experience was similar to yours so I sold it and bought a Škoda enyaq. Far better car. Utterly reliable and very well made.
Interesting . What happened with the air vents?
@@Mojo16011973 Also curious, I only have air vents in the backseat in my M3 LR.
@@Harrythehun Interesting that I got no reply Jari :)
@@Mojo16011973 Maybe a paid “influencer”
this is a good format, it'd be interesting to do a series of interviews with well known people and their EV's. it wouldn't have to be celebrities just knowledgeable people who can talk sensibly about their car.
Tesla Model 3 is great!
You don’t need EV charger, just install 32A socket and buy 32A tail from Tesla. Works brilliantly for fraction of cost the EV charge would’ve costed you.
Couple things are bugging me. Changing from one mobile phone to another could be better or have ability to connect two phones like VW or Skoda. When cleaning windscreen and drivers window is down you will end up with windscreen wash inside the car.
If I would change it Jaguar would be an option.
What about Tom (Ford?) and Nikki?
What cars do they own?
Nikki gets a free car from BMW but they don’t mention that 😂
Yeah where is tom ford?
Small criticism, instead of a full transition card with audio for each question every time, a pop up graphic would be much less distracting than reading and listening/watching back and forth. It might mean a little more B-roll with each person, but you're already throwing up their name and role.
The purple tinted windshield of the Ipace reminds me of the Pontiac Trans Sport mini van form the 90s. Every one of those always looks purple to me. I think they put factory tint of some kind from the factory in those models.
thanks all this is the type of review, from real owner/operators that I have been looking for
Sadly, most of these vehicles are not available in Canada - of the 5 you show, we can get 2. :( Also, our charging network is nowhere as good, but then Canada is HUGE compared to the UK.
I once owned a leaf, and it was amazing. Only gripe was the low mileage 110. Other than that, it served my family well. Looking forward to a new ecar in 2023.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
leaf is actually ridiculous... had to get rid of it quick.
@@ElGrueso although it carried the ugly stick award, ours did a great job
I have been waiting for over 8 months for my model 3 to arrive. In that time we have ordered, taken delivery of and enjoyed a Puegeot e2008, which we all absolutely love. Well built car and lovely to drive. Tesla may have gimmicks but as a car manufacturer I really believe they have dropped the ball. By the time my car arrives I may want to order something better. Once Tesla has your money, they genuinely give zeros - I still don't have an accurate EDD. As a customer you genuinely feel like just a number. My historic experience with Audi, Puegeot, BMW, Mercedes and even VW has always been exponentially better. Tesla is a terrible car company imo.
Been driving an e208 gt for about 18 months. Just love it.
Very surprised there wasn’t a polestar 2 in here
Awesome channel. Reviews are always so professional 😎👍
@ginny - radio... I had a similar issue on my MB radio... It was European dab spec, so some UK multiplexes (stations) were missing, and the dab aerial for rear window was italian spec.
Firmware update increased number of uk stations, mb eventually fitted a 3rd party windscreen aerial.
See if you can find out who makes the radio for Peugeot (eg blaupunkt, etc)
I would have loved the e-208 myself, but I am driving mainly long distances and I want to tow in future so went for the EV6! I love it, though it is a lot bigger than I like and Kia is still sorting out a lot of software issues. But design and for such a massive crossover it does handle really nice. But to be clear: the moment one of the French OEMs comes with a hot hatch that can tow, I fear the Kia will have to leave…
First car...I've had one from 2013 to 2021 as short range second car. Never had a tyre problem or fast degradation on the tyres. fast charging only once. I do not know what is wrong on that 2015 model. or the rest I do agree with this story. (But I do not find it very efficient when compared to the hyundai ioniq electric 28 KWH (model 2017,premium with heat pump, the car which is replacing my leaf). And also I do agree that it is very cheap in maintenacnce. In those 8 years only once changed the tyres (after 70000 km...the same distance I made with tyres on ICE cars).and had to replace the type 2 charging cable (broken).
The story about the ioniq 5 is extremely short....I've bought this model one year ago (delivered july 2021 , model project 45.)
It's our long range car which charges so fast that this month during holiday travel the car was at any toilet/coffee stop charged enough for the next stint (>80%) before we were ready to go (using 350KW chargers). Driving through Germany and Poland with 130 km/h we did not lose much time on average compared with driving with our previous ICE cars at the same distance. Only extra planning....making the stops where chargers are available.
(I never tried nor had the cars to do so to travel with speeds from 180 km/h)
Bothering...It's beeping to much....even when we are leaving somewhere in the night...can awake neighbours.
Hyundai should lower (or disable) the beepings when the car is not driving especially in the night.
(The other cars in this video I do not know from inside.
But during waiting on our ioniq I had a konAE64 with me. It's extremely well designed but not that suitable for a family...lack of room backseats (for bigger children) and not much for luggage. I'm told that the technical near the same Kia Niro has a little more space.
The new jags have a better infotainment system?
Why has your one not had an OTA update?
The newer Jags have a hardware upgrade to improve the infotainment system. So the older ones are stuck with the old tech. As an owner it is my one gripe there are no more software feature upgrades available for the older models. However this is very much a first world problem as none of my previous cars had software feature upgrades ever.
The I-Pace looks like it could be an old fleet vehicle given the reg. Is it a 20MY or 21MY vehicle with the increased charging capacity? i.e. the 11KW charger of the initial 7KW charger.
Is the tractor counted?
Nice Video..... Big shame about the Jaguar iPace... They promised over the air updates. They should have updated the infotainment over the air! It was an expensive luxury brand. But it is not doing what it said & looking after their customers. Also Jaguar should be releasing more models, but they are not and overall "sales" prove it is a brand on the way down.
It's lucky y'all drive a variety of models; imagine how embarrassing it would be if you all owned Model 3s. ;)
Why have harness slots but no harness?
No DAB on the Leaf sounds like heaven. Radio stations that stay on, don't jump backwards and forwards, or disappear altogether for minutes at a time, are much more useful. DAB doesn't work on the move. Give me FM anytime.
I own a 14month old e208. The car chang itself the language english to french and mph to km/h. Not to easy to find where to change km/h to mph.
Even though I absolutely love my little lion 😁
Any updates on these owner reviews? Recurring faults or other issues? This sort of content is more useful than the usual press car, press release based content tbh..
2017 Nissan Leaf 30kW with DAB radio and we have the Nissan app but it’s Ireland base not England so shows range/charge in km but works in uk for all your climate and charging etc and we get 4.4kW per mile
All things going well I'll get an e-208 as my next car at some point probably next year
KIA EV6 GT
Great choice Ginny!!!😍
Ginny - how long before you replace it with the Buzz ?
I'd guess that Ginny drives the Tesla.
I drive a Audi etron 55 quattro and love it!
FYI: There are free third party apps for the Leaf that work perfectly well.
Mind naming them? I have the old Nissan official app hooked up to my 2013 Leaf but would a backup
I have the Nissan EV app. 2015 24kWh Leaf purchased 4 months ago. I can switch on the climate control, check mileage and start charging from my phone. I did call Nissan as at first the App was registered to the previous owner. Not sure if it’s based on location as I believe the car needs 3G.
I have a Tesla model 3 and absolutely love it , did a tour of England in it and just done the NC500 with no problems, love the supercharging network, the only thing I don't like is the phantom braking it's done it a few times but hopefully with OTA updates that will be sorted
Nice video 😎
I am very partial to the Pegeout and I think next to Suzuki they make the best small cars. The Tesla is good and different but w car should be a car first then a tech partner after
No leaf app?… eeerr the leaf app is old but it works just fine
My favorite Tesla
The brake pedal on the Model 3 is welded like that so it deforms in a crash and doesn't break your leg. It's a safety feature.
Something that's missing in this car. Watch the video from 1:04 and you'll see they have to use a hydraulic lift to remove the crash test dummy WITHOUT one leg!
th-cam.com/video/fHzXclEpwmQ/w-d-xo.html
How is there no Mach E?
Have I missed something... Since when did the E-208 'GT' get 'hot hatch' status? As an owner of the petrol variant, I'm not saying it's a bad car, but it's a long way off a 'hot' hatch, in my view.
Have you driven one
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What about Nicky and Tom?
?
Wow, so many colour options on most of these models and you all went out and bought the most boring options. Nothing but a sea of gray and silver.
Also please tell your editors to level the audio because Ginny's sound level is so much lower.
I’m not fussed about DAB, as most of the places I drive, there is no DAB coverage.
Nissan LEAF: Zero battery cooling
Hold the middle toggle down and beep twice
Model 3 is a great car, but this sedan design is just so impractical. I have a much smaller car, and i can put my bicycle in it no problem. Into the Tesla? Mission impossible...
Very nice you should show the COD on these vehicles…I think u would be surprised…peace get rid of the grill grrrr
now do the luxury version? Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, LUCID etc.
leaf battery degradation? thermal management?
Given he said he only charges at home, battery degredation and thermal management is likely a non-issue for him.
Jaguar Beeping, I don't know but you can try to turn the volume down when it is actually beeping with the volume knob.
Yes, reducing the volume for the navigation guidance should reduce this. My beeps are definitely not loud :)
@@j.williamkay2771 thanks - will try this!
Please get to grips with the difference between power (watts, kilowatts, etc) and energy (kilowatt hours, megajoules).
Sorry what MOT, they are all less than 3 year old cars?
Oh the 2015 Nissan Leaf…being compared to 5/6/7 year newer cars.
Can you experts explain the battery capacity in series / parallel. Volts, amps, watts current draw, efficiency per mile or do you just make big claims with a bad accent.
I don’t think this review was about that stuff? Range, charging speed and efficiency are the important things from an ownership perspective (and of course driving characteristics and reliability) - not volts, amps, series/parallel etc - no one cares about the internal construction of the battery. Technically, I’m interested but this was an ownership review not a technical deep dive. What big claims? And why the bad accent quip?
Hyundai Ioniq 5 is (🏆🥇)!.
Ioniq 5 was too quickly dispatched.
So what’s Tom Ford driving?
Ionic 5 after a month- it has been out for over a year!!
the leaf wont blow up- the range will drop and the battery may need to be refurbished
Ben Margolis. -A British person buys a British car (patriotic) and praises this car from the ground up. 🤔
Who drives the classic Ford 5610 in the background 😆
If I had the money IPace all the way over almost every other ev. I would like the Peugeot as an option in Australia they look like a great car.
Everybody is pushing electric car, but don’t want to tell you that replacing the batteries cost almost as much as the car.
sorry to say this but the Tesla looks like a 70s jelly mould and the dash is boring with that massive screen........ at the mo i do like the interior of the Genesis cars.
I have the peaugot sisters car the corsa e and love it
the sad thing about the Jag is that it charges so slow. and if you manage to hit a pothole, and with a big unfortunate hit to the battery, it will set you back €35,000 to repair/replace it.
Got that wrong.
Your wife drives the Model 3
Just need to correct you I drive a Nissan Leaf 24kw myself. Is one of the most inefficient ev on the road you don’t 4 kw per mile if your lucky you may get 60 miles on a charge I get 45 miles. Take it from me repair costs are huge had to buy secondhand parts from Japan. Only buy if your commute is 20 miles max in the winter the range drops.
The UK built car is much better than the early cars. Mine has averaged 4.0m/kWh over 50k miles. TB
Northern Ireland reg. for some reason Ginny?
That numberplate doesn't exist, it also looks like it was edited into the video, the reg on the car in the moving footage at 11:35 and static at 11:28 is a GB reg.
🤪 Sitting on the bonnet of a car is not cool
Tom kwh not kW you need to get the basics right!!
I always thought that cars were technology, but there again I am a chartered engineer so what do I know.
Contrived Dialog. Yuck!
You can't force humour guys!
Good video though!
Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Peugeot e208 looks better!.
Tommy is the most awkward presenter. Being next to Jinny just makes it even more obvious

What was the I5 review about. Come on. Do better.
You are all so self satisfied And think you are the fount of all knowledge. Get over yourselves. Oh and the choice of cars is probably slanted by who funds you!
Let's just get the facts straight right away. The Tesla is NOT self driving.
