Toyota Actually Built A Great EV! 2024 Toyota BZ4X XLE: My Full Review
The 2024 Toyota bZ4X XLE is Toyota's first mainstream EV, and while it avoids the pitfalls of being a "terrible" or "worst EV ever... more," it also falls short of being the best. The reviewer praises its exceptionally comfortable ride quality, comparing it favorably to premium European offerings, and commends the high-quality interior materials, particularly the cloth seats and overall Toyota build quality. However, significant drawbacks are highlighted, including slow DC fast charging (100 kW peak, 0-80% in under an hour) and a relatively slow 6.6 kW AC home charging speed. Real-world range is estimated at around 300 km for the AWD model, which is considered average at best. While the acceleration feels quicker than its specs suggest, the reviewer notes that better-equipped and more capable EVs are available for a similar or slightly higher price point, such as the Tesla Model Y. Ultimately, the bZ4X is positioned as a conservative, safe choice for loyal Toyota customers who prioritize brand stability and local driving, rather than cutting-edge EV technology or performance. less
Tesla Fires Entire Supercharger Team! What Does This Mean For The EV Industry?
The host discusses Tesla's decision to disband its Supercharger team, a move that has sent shockwaves through the EV industry. While acknowledgin... moreg Tesla's historical dominance and reliability in charging infrastructure, the presenter questions the strategic rationale behind this decision, especially as other manufacturers adopt Tesla's NACS standard. The video highlights the potential disruption for automakers who have integrated NACS, the loss of a significant competitive advantage for Tesla, and the impact on EV adoption. Concerns are raised about the future reliability and expansion of the Supercharger network, the potential for a "brain drain" of talent, and the overall fragmentation of the charging landscape. The presenter expresses a loss of trust in Tesla's long-term commitment to charging, comparing the move to Apple abandoning iOS. Ultimately, the decision is deemed a strange and potentially damaging business move for the EV market, creating significant uncertainty. less
The Vinfast VF8 Is Better Than You Expect! In-Depth Review
The Vinfast VF8, often criticized, proves to be a surprisingly competent and compelling EV, according to this review. The reviewer challenges the nega... moretive press, highlighting the VF8's attractive Pininfarina-designed exterior and a surprisingly spacious interior with good rear legroom. While the seats are noted as being a bit too soft with insufficient bolstering, the overall interior materials are deemed good, and the high-quality steering wheel is a pleasant surprise. The infotainment system, though Tesla-like, is functional and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The reviewer praises the dual-motor AWD setup, delivering around 350 horsepower, and notes that while real-world range might be closer to 375-400 km rather than the claimed 450 km, it's adequate for many. The ride quality is described as stiff but not uncomfortable, comparable to a Model Y, especially considering the VF8's significantly lower price point. The review strongly emphasizes the exceptional value proposition of the VF8, particularly through its attractive leasing options, making it an ideal first EV for many buyers. However, the reviewer points out significant shortcomings in Vinfast's dealer network and service experience, which need substantial improvement to match the product's value. less
The Mini Cooper SE: The Most Underrated EV
The reviewer highlights the 2023 Mini Cooper SE as a surprisingly capable and fun EV for road trips, debunking the notion that its range is a signific... moreant limitation, especially in regions with a robust charging infrastructure like Quebec. The car is praised for its engaging driving dynamics, making it a joy to pilot through scenic routes. Despite its compact size and perceived range limitations, the Mini SE proved adept at handling a 366 km journey with zero issues, thanks to the readily available charging network. The reviewer notes the car has become their daily driver, a testament to its practicality and enjoyment factor. While the charging port design is criticized as "chintzy," the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, positioning the Mini Cooper SE as an "underrated" EV that punches above its weight class for those seeking a spirited electric driving experience. less
Tesla Model 3 LR 1000km Challenge! Is Circuit Electrique The Best Charging Network?
This video chronicles a 960 km road trip in a Tesla Model 3 Long Range, focusing on the viability of Quebec's public charging network, specifical... morely the Circuit Electrique and Kempower chargers, as an alternative to Tesla's Superchargers. The reviewer highlights the Model 3's efficiency and comfort, dubbing it a "range beast." Key takeaways include the positive experience with the Circuit Electrique network, noting its widespread availability and reliability, and the impressive 500 kW total power at the Kempower site in Rivière-du-Loup, capable of delivering up to 300 kW per dispenser. A minor drawback mentioned is the heavy cables at the Kempower station. The reviewer also briefly contrasts this with a V3 Supercharger, noting the lighter cable and the absence of preconditioning on non-Tesla chargers. Overall, the experiment successfully demonstrates that a robust public charging infrastructure can support long-distance EV travel without relying solely on proprietary networks. less
