26 EVS COMING IN 2020. PART 1: THE FIRST 13.

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of the first 13 electric vehicles slated for release in 2020, highlighting the growing EV market driven by stricter EU emission laws and UK tax benefits. The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for the Porsche Taycan, praising its fast charging and luxury appeal, though noting it's not a Tesla competitor but an "internal combustion engine killer." The Renault Zoe ZE50 is lauded for its improved range (242 miles WLTP) and the significant addition of CCS fast charging. The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense receives criticism for its "awful" interior design despite its striking exterior. The Skoda Citigo e iV, VW e-Up!, and SEAT Mii Electric are grouped as essentially the same car, offering great value but hampered by slow 40kW charging. The Peugeot e-208 is commended for its tactile interior and a specific GT trim, though its premium over petrol/diesel models is a concern. The Mercedes-Benz EQA's design proportions are disliked, but its luxury and 249-mile range for around £31,000 are seen as decent. The Mini Electric is positioned as a good city car, comparable in price to a top-end Cooper but with a limited 144-mile range. The BMW iX3 is presented as an electric version of the X3, expected to be expensive with a 249-mile range. The SEAT el-Born, built on the VW ID.3 platform, is expected to be a good, affordable option. The Vauxhall/Opel Corsa-e is seen as a familiar small car but potentially less value than the Zoe. Finally, the VW ID.3 is highlighted as a significant release, a "car designed by an EV from the start" with impressive tech, a good price, and the potential to be a "car of the year," especially given VW's manufacturing scale and commitment following "dieselgate."
