WE DRIVE CADILLAC LYRIQ, IONIQ 6 REVEAL AND VW ID.AERO

EV Channels Review

The hosts discuss several significant EV developments. Kyle Connor shares his experience with Tesla Model S Plaid paint correction, noting that while Teslas require significant paintwork, it's not unique to the brand, with even high-end cars needing similar attention. Rivian's Adventure Network launch is highlighted, with the network's focus on adventure-oriented locations and proprietary charging hardware. The Lightyear 0 is critically reviewed for its high price (€260,000) and seemingly impractical solar integration, with the hosts questioning its value proposition. Tom Moloughney presents a compelling comparison of Tesla Supercharger versus Electrify America charging speeds using a CCS1 adapter, finding that the adapter-charged Tesla Model 3 was surprisingly faster, though acknowledging caveats in the data. Chevrolet Bolt EUV and EV highway range tests are discussed, with the EUV performing well and exceeding its highway EPA rating, while the EV ran out of charge due to aggressive testing and a lack of precise battery status indicators. Finally, Dominic previews his drive of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq, describing it as a large, sharp-looking luxury SUV.
