EV Channels Review

This episode of EV Revolutions delves into the burgeoning EV market of 2018, highlighting significant global sales growth and policy shifts, particularly in China. The hosts discuss the increasing dominance of pure EVs over plug-in hybrids and the fastest-growing markets. A key segment features Ken's personal experience taking delivery of his new 2018 Nissan Leaf SL, a fully loaded trim. He details the car's features, including its "Jade Cross" color, leather and suede interior, tech package, and optional accessories like bumper protection and an interior cargo organizer. The review touches upon the Leaf's practicality, including its deep trunk and foldable seats. The episode also briefly covers updates on the Chevy Bolt and Hyundai Ioniq, noting production and availability challenges. While the Leaf delivery is presented as less 'sexy' than a Model 3, it offers a practical, real-world perspective on EV ownership.
