EV Channels Review

The EV Revolution Show's participation in the 2022 AJAC EcoRun highlights a significant shift towards electrification in the automotive industry, with all participating vehicles being either BEVs, PHEVs, or hybrids. Host Kenneth showcases his experience driving several electrified models, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, for which he expresses strong positive sentiment, noting the Ioniq 5's efficiency and the EV6's top performance in its category with 13.1 kWh/100km. He also provides initial impressions of the Lexus NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid, noting its seamless transition between electric and gasoline power but was unable to fully assess its electric range due to prior usage. The event also offered a first look at the Genesis G80 and Gv60, though detailed reviews are forthcoming. Despite challenging weather conditions on the second day, the host achieved respectable efficiency figures and finished mid-pack among journalists, concluding that the EcoRun was a valuable test of vehicle performance and efficiency at highway speeds.
