ALL OF OUR EVS ARE BROKEN?!

EV Channels Review

This video provides an honest and candid look at the long-term ownership experience of electric vehicles, highlighting that even dedicated EV enthusiasts face mechanical issues. The presenter details problems with a 2007 Vectrix maxi-scooter (requiring battery and charger replacement), a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV (damaged front trim from a bird strike), and an F-150 Lightning (broken sunroof and sunshade). While the Bolt's repair is straightforward, the scooter and Lightning require more involved fixes, with parts and time being significant constraints. The presenter also touches on planned modifications for the Bolt, including a gas strut hood kit and sequential DRLs. The video emphasizes the importance of extended testing over short-term reviews and underscores the frustrations of unexpected breakdowns, even for those deeply invested in EVs. The Ford home integration system is noted as being more reliable with the second F-150 Lightning.
