THE FINAL WEEKLY UPDATE: CHARGER EV R/T MAY BE DROPPED, TOYOTA CH-R RETURN, NEW MANUAL HYBRID + MORE

EV Channels Review

This video marks the end of Matt Maran Motoring's weekly news updates after a decade of consistent content. The host explains that declining viewership, the rise of short-form content, and the prevalence of clickbait in the automotive news space have made the series unsustainable from a financial and algorithmic perspective. Despite efforts to improve production quality, the low return on investment, with recent updates earning around $100, has led to this difficult decision. Maran emphasizes his commitment to providing truthful, straightforward content, which he feels is not rewarded on the platform. While the weekly updates are concluding, he will continue to produce car reviews and will also be writing articles for Carbuzz, seeking greater stability. The video also covers several automotive news items, including rumors about the Dodge Charger EV R/T trim being dropped, delays for the Ram REV and Ramcharger, details on the 2026 Toyota C-HR and BZ, the upcoming electric VW Golf GTI, and updates to the Hummer EV.
