KILOWATT HALF HOUR EPISODE 7: A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

EV Channels Review

The Kilowatt Half Hour podcast episode 'A difference of opinion' features a lively discussion among the Electrifying.com team. A significant portion is dedicated to the Mazda MX-30 R-EV, which receives a largely critical reception. Tom highlights its inefficiency, comparing its electric range and MPG unfavorably to established EVs and petrol cars, deeming it a "bad solution to a problem that wasn't really there." The team finds the rotary engine's noise intrusive and questions Mazda's strategy. In contrast, the Citroen Ami Buggy garners affection for its charm and fun factor, despite its impracticality and high cost. The episode also touches on the subjective nature of car reviews, the prevalence of Nissan Leafs in one village, and the importance of long test drives. A segment on sustainable manufacturing and BMW's "Green Hero" award adds depth, emphasizing the need to consider a car's entire lifecycle. The team also shares pet peeves about car depictions in media.
