The Best Electric Vehicles You Can Buy Right Now
In this episode of The EV Geek podcast, hosts Joel and Sebastian Clark discuss their top five electric vehicles, emphasizing personal criteria like ra... morenge, charge speed, practicality, and overall appeal. Joel prioritizes affordability and reliability, while Sebastian focuses on range, charge speed, practicality, and 'cool factor.' The discussion covers a range of vehicles, from the Tesla Model S Plaid and Hummer EV Truck to more accessible options like the Volvo EX30, Kia EV3 (projected), Mustang Mach-E, Tesla Model 3, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Rivian R1T. Notably, the Tesla Model 3 and Y are discussed with a focus on their minimalist design, which is polarizing for some. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 are praised for their fast charging and futuristic design, while the Rivian R1T is highlighted for its innovative packaging and comfort. The Ford F-150 Lightning and Kia EV9 are mentioned as strong contenders that narrowly missed the top five due to pricing and availability respectively. The hosts acknowledge that their picks are subjective and not based on scientific data. less
The Cadillac Lyriq Is a Masterclass in EV Design
Jason Lafayette provides an in-depth review of his Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edition, highlighting its strong points as a luxury EV. He praises its comfort... moreable, quiet ride, reminiscent of traditional Cadillac opulence, and appreciates the tactile buttons and physical controls, which he feels are often missing in modern EVs. The design, particularly the lighting and grille, is a significant pro, offering a distinguished look. Lafayette also commends the real-world range, noting it often exceeds the estimated figures, and finds the Super Cruise system to be a valuable driver-assist feature. On the downside, he expresses a desire for deeper technical data and customization options within the car's interface, similar to what's found in the app or on competitor vehicles. Despite minor early OTA update hiccups and a recall for the 12V system, Lafayette is highly satisfied, stating he would repurchase the Lyriq. less
Honest Kia EV6 Review
This two-year ownership review of the Kia EV6 Wind RWD highlights its strengths as a comfortable, quiet, and dependable daily driver, making it an exc... moreellent entry point into the EV lifestyle. The reviewer praises its normal car-like feel, user-friendly buttons, and superior auto wipers compared to Tesla. However, road-tripping is hampered by the limited CCS charging infrastructure and modest storage space, particularly the small frunk and shallow trunk. Interior materials show early signs of wear, the wireless charging pad is unreliable, and the infotainment system's deep menus are cumbersome. A recurring ICCU issue causing 12V battery drain and multiple recalls are noted drawbacks. Despite these cons, the reviewer highly recommends the EV6 for its low maintenance, widespread service availability, and increasingly attractive used market pricing, especially for those prioritizing everyday usability over long-distance charging convenience. less
Shattering Myths About Chevy Bolt
The EV Geek podcast features a detailed discussion with Chevy Bolt owner Sebastian Clark, who aims to debunk common myths surrounding the vehicle. Cla... morerk, a tech enthusiast, shares his positive ownership experience with his 2019 Bolt Premier, highlighting its affordability and practicality for daily commuting. He contrasts it with his previous Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, emphasizing the Bolt's full electric nature. Key positives include its surprisingly spacious interior, comfortable ride, and useful features like heated seats and steering wheel, especially for its price point. However, the review points out the Bolt's significant weakness: its DC fast charging capability, which is limited to a 55 kW peak and lacks battery preconditioning, making long-distance travel less convenient. Despite this, Clark has successfully completed trips to Kansas, Bentonville, and Memphis, noting that charging stops are longer than ideal but manageable with family breaks. Maintenance has been minimal, primarily involving tire replacement. Overall, the Bolt is presented as a compelling value proposition in the used EV market, especially for those prioritizing cost-effectiveness over cutting-edge charging technology. less
Tesla Model Y: Two Years of Living the Dream (or Nightmare)
After two years of ownership, the reviewer finds the Tesla Model Y to be a competent daily driver and road trip companion, praising its software, navi... moregation, Supercharging network, spaciousness, and efficiency for the price. However, significant drawbacks include a stiff and uncomfortable ride quality, particularly on rougher roads, and a general lack of refinement in build quality with noticeable rattling. The reviewer also highlights issues with Tesla's customer service and the app-based scheduling system, along with soft paint that scratches easily. While Full Self-Driving (FSD) is deemed useful for daily driving and road trips, it still requires occasional intervention and has abrupt braking behaviors. The reviewer notes battery degradation of around 7-8% over two years and recommends a sunshade for the glass roof due to heat buildup in summer, though heated seats are appreciated in winter. Maintenance costs were primarily driven by tire replacements, with an estimated $2,700 spent over two years, largely due to frequent tire wear and the larger rims. less
