EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers a range of automotive news, with a significant focus on upcoming performance vehicle debuts. The 2023 Honda Civic Type R is highlighted as the most powerful production Honda branded vehicle ever offered in the US, with its debut set for next week. The Ford F-150 Raptor R is also teased as a "scary fast" debut. Hyundai's "N Day" revealed the RN22e concept, strongly suggesting an Ioniq 6 N, and the striking N Vision 74 concept, a retro-styled hydrogen-electric hybrid coupe with impressive performance figures. The video also details the mechanical aspects of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, including its 800-volt system, 77.4 kWh battery, and claimed 379 miles of range. Rumors of a manual transmission for the BMW Z4 M40i, an E85-powered Dodge Challenger, and an electric Chrysler sedan are discussed. Cadillac's ultra-luxurious, hand-built Celestiq is shown in more detail, with pricing expected to exceed $300,000. The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X AEV Edition and new colors for the Jeep Wrangler are also presented. Finally, the video touches on Ford's trademark filings for "Ranger Lightning" and "Maverick Lightning," suggesting future electric truck variants, and Pagani's decision not to pursue electric supercars due to a perceived lack of driver emotion and demand.
