ELECTRIC ICONS EP.2 - THE COOLEST ELECTRIC CAR YOU CAN BUY!

EV Channels Review

The Chesil Speedster E is presented as the 'coolest' electric car available, blending iconic 1950s Porsche 356 Speedster aesthetics with modern electric powertrain technology. The reviewer is highly impressed, emphasizing that this is a ground-up EV design, not a conversion, built by Westfield Sports Cars. Key highlights include its exceptional build quality, feeling like a factory-produced car rather than a low-volume special. The driving experience is lauded for its progressive power delivery, immediate throttle response, and well-balanced chassis, offering a "brilliant" and "intimate" drive. The unassisted steering and brakes provide excellent feedback. While the pedal box is noted as slightly awkward, this is a minor critique against an overwhelmingly positive reception. The car's 44 kWh battery offers a decent range and fast-charging capability. Priced from £66,500 as a kit and £73,000 for a factory build, it's positioned as a premium, stylish weekend toy that successfully hides its modern electric components to maintain its classic look. The reviewer concludes it's "bloody brilliant" and the coolest electric car on the market.
