KILOWATT HALF HOUR EP 88: EV4 OUTRAGE, THE MICRA BACKLASH AND VOLVO DOUBLES UP

EV Channels Review

The Kilowatt Half Hour podcast episode 88 delves into the polarizing design of the Kia EV4, with the panel largely agreeing that while the hatchback variant is more palatable, the fastback is an unusual and divisive design. Despite the aesthetic criticisms, the reviewers acknowledge the EV4 drives well and boasts Kia's longest-ever range, potentially exceeding 400 miles. The discussion also touches on Porsche's scaled-back EV plans, the impressive 800v upgrade for the Volvo EX90, and the increasing integration of automotive tech and chip manufacturers into car discussions. The episode highlights the growing affordability of used EVs and explores leasing deals for the Renault 5 and 4, while also addressing listener feedback regarding the perceived lack of differentiation between the Nissan Micra and Renault 5.
