EV Channels Review

In this episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Charlie and Chris recount their recent driving experiences in Southern California. The hosts highlight a diverse range of vehicles, from the practical Toyota Mirai and the engaging GR Corolla to the luxurious Porsche Cayenne and the exhilarating Porsche 911 Carrera T. The GR Corolla is praised for its fun factor and unique three-cylinder engine, though noted as not being as quick as some rivals. The Porsche Cayenne is lauded for its driving dynamics and off-road capability, but criticized for its heavy steering in urban environments and susceptibility to tire damage on rough roads. The 911 Carrera T emerges as a standout, particularly favored by Charlie for its pure driving experience and manual transmission, despite a significant price premium over the base Carrera. The Mercedes-AMG EQS is deemed underwhelming, lacking driving soul, while the AMG SL63 is celebrated as a comfortable and capable grand tourer, with the only notable drawback being its futuristic door handles. The hosts also discuss the challenges and potential of hydrogen vehicles like the Mirai, noting the current infrastructure limitations.
