    Thank you Kyle. I always enjoying your range tests on BEV’s and Hybrid models. You cover all the important features of the batteries and the design critique. I am anxious to see the\is video and I would consider this BEV over Tesla. Keep ‘‘em coming Kyle. I appreciate all the videos created by your team on your channels. I like that I was number 911 on the likes of the this video.

    Really nice to see you guys crack 250 miles in this test. This is what I originally expected from the e-GMP cars, and I was disappointed with the Ioniq 5 tests. Sounds like you guys figured out Eco mode and were able to eke out the extra miles.

      @@geraltofrivian516 That's pretty good for a 100% charge. In general though I'd say a lot of the time the last 20% of the charging cycle is almost not worth it, on some vehicles the last 30% will take as long as the first 70%. Shorter but slightly more frequent charging stops tend to be the most time-efficient, it's best to line up charging with bathroom breaks if it's possible.

    Being the first owner in Alabama to have purchased a KIA EV6 on February 12 (couldn't get the vehicle until after the Superbowl debut Feb 13), I have logged over 3100 miles in almost 4 months. The KIA dealership gave me a ChargePoint Home Flex 50A ($700 value), a 240-volt Level 2 home charger that delivers up to 50 amps of power (approximately 9.4 to 11.4 kWh). I researched this vehicle for many months and in October 2021, the dealership called me and offered me the EV only saying, 'What color do you want?" In Alabama, the only answer is Crimson, and their response was "Runaway Red". I come from a different perspective on this topic. I don't use the term car as I see these vehicles as computers on wheels. With that in mind or to my point, I come from a strong software view and was shocked and pleased to hear Hyundai/KIA purchased Boston Dynamics for future manufacturing, AI and software development for their vehicles. As many of my friends who own EV in Huntsville, AL (ID.4, Tesla, etc.) all of them have had recalls that have cost them weeks and weeks of downtime (batteries burning up, dashboards going blank, et.) mostly caused from software issues. I just went thru an uneventful recall myself that cost me an hour of my time. more to come...

      I know what you're saying, the big companies are behind Tesla in sales. But as far as I can tell, every electric vehicle built in 2022 is outstanding. In 2022, all the legacy companies have raised their standards dramatically. The new Ford Mustang Mach-E was just reviewed by Throttle House and they said it's basically their favorite all around electric car, it handles almost flawlessly and has good fit and finish, and looks nice, they said the steering and suspension was basically perfectly tuned. And then the new Ford F150 EV truck, is maybe the best EV being made today, for the price. It's cheaper than most of the cars, and has outstanding revolutionary features. Chevy has the Hummer EV which is absolutely loved in the reviews, but Chevy and Dodge might be falling behind in the car category, and I don't think Dodge has a good electric car yet, but I could be wrong. But Ford has knocked it out of the park so far, with their Mustang and F150 Lightning.

      Elevation deratings on ICE vehicles have to do with air density changes, the electric motors aren't impacted by air density, the only thing impacting the electric motor is the amount of electricity provided. Temperature impacts the battery's ability to supply the required watts to the motors but that is about it.

    Nice car, but for £47,000 / $58,000, I can see it dating very quickly, especially after a test drive of one, the interior does not match that of a KIA ProCeed GT or Stinger GT. Considering Kia is also working on additional cars to be released over 2022-25, being the EV1-EV9, already confirmed are the EV4 (Kia Soul Remake), EV7 (Ceed Remake), EV8 (Stinger) and EV9 (New SUV). There is allot to come in the next couple of years! Which is also worth waiting for! 😁👍

    Great video. Overall, my only (constructive) criticism is that we need to stop being apologetic for driving conditions. Wind exists, cold/hot weather exist, low ramps exist, people inside a car exist, so tests like yours ARE real, if I wanted 'perfect conditions' (which rarely exist) I would just be OK with theoretical. The best solution is to put a 'range' on the range estimate.

    General question : whatever the range of an EV how many miles can you put on the clock before its a throw away , meaning putting new batteries is not worth the value of the car ?
    Im gonna say if you buy a good ice car meaning a model and brand known to last and you know how to drive meaning how not to abuse a car as far as operating temps and bad habits that kill life of main components like waiting for car to fully stop in reverse before slapping into drive and things I see people do in cars . I have never had any new car have anything fail in 100k pr even well into 100s except for a clutch on a car thay was stolen by somebody who didnt know or care how to use a clutch on a car over 100k , but yeah never had to replace even a clutch in a car including ones with V8S driven hard ( i think thats from not really using it much actually ) nor had a manual trans fail or an auto trans for that matter although I try to avoid owning them . But i feel like 200K is doable and you somewhat regularly see cars with 300k including people listing them for sale for 1000s of $ saying plenty of life left of which i would not risk , if you have a car with 300k with plenty of life left you should drive it and not expect somebody else to believe you unless they are a mechanic and take it 1/2 apart to see if that is so .
    But on average what is the ACTUAL LIFE of an avg EV . I realize like a phone or laptop and other products it will work but not hold charge as well so that means different things but even to say you keep an EV knowing it only has 50-60 % of range and have it along with another car and use it for shorter trips etc .
    What is the maximum life on avg if your willing to deal with loss of range as i figured but still use it to go shopping and shorter trips ( have another vehicle you would preserve life on by using ratty car same as ice cars , like use it to drive in NYC not. Eing afraid to rub paint with cabbies and pushy people and park on street etc) .
    It seems some people do for whatever reason end up with cars that need new or not new but " re conditioned " or used with less mileage new battery packs and there are scenarios where you have a nice vehicle but not worth anything because of battery / batteries crapping out so zero equity in car .
    It feels like EV owners dont at all think past 70k maybe 100k and replace their vehicles faster or similar to a german car owner for instance . I am more of a 10 year owner or longer even i have one care that is a 19 with 10K on odometer so god knows if the car doesnt outlive me at 57 years old at this pace .
    Evs being cheaper to run i might want to run more miles in fact .
    Yeah general question i know its broad and perhaps that could be for average tesla owner . Im gonna say normal driving 12-15 miles a year in NY with seasons . Is 200k a reasonable life span and is there any equity left at 200k or is it a part out if treated well enough ?
