EV Channels Review
This "goofy drag race" pits the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV against a 2016 Nissan Leaf, with the Spark EV emerging as the clear victor. The Spark EV's standout feature is its surprising 400 lb-ft of torque, which allows it to achieve a 0-60 mph time of 8.1 seconds, significantly outperforming the Leaf's 107 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. During a track lap, the Spark EV completed the course in 1:21.38, consuming 5 miles of range, while the Leaf finished in 1:17, using 8 miles of range. The video also features a "bazooka to a knife fight" moment where a high-performance electric vehicle (implied to be a Tesla Model S Plaid based on the title) easily defeats both the Spark EV and the Leaf with a 0-60 mph time of 3.98 seconds. The reviewer praises the Spark EV's quickness and build quality, contrasting it with Tesla. The Leaf is described as slow and having flaws, while the Spark EV is noted for its surprising power despite its diminutive size and somewhat dated appearance.
