EV Channels Review

This episode of Motormouth tackles a variety of viewer questions, offering insights into reliability scoring, Toyota Crown Signia release timelines, and warranty differences between Canada and the US. The hosts emphasize a multi-faceted approach to reliability, suggesting a combination of brand history, owner feedback, and data from sources like Consumer Reports and JD Power, while cautioning against relying on a single source. They note that vehicles with longer market presence and fewer changes can sometimes be more reliable, but also highlight exceptions. Regarding the Toyota Crown Signia, they anticipate a release in early 2025, with minimal changes expected from the initial model. The discussion on warranties reveals that Mazda is unique in Canada for offering unlimited mileage, while US warranties often include complimentary maintenance. The hosts also touch upon the Subaru Solterra's slow sales in Canada due to its higher price compared to the mechanically similar Toyota bZ4X. Finally, they discuss the complexities of 'all-in' pricing in Canada versus the US, with Canadian dealers legally required to advertise prices that include freight and fees.
