EV Channels Review

In this episode of the EV Geek podcast, hosts Joel and Sebastian discuss electric vehicles they believe have missed the mark in 2024. The Fiat 500e is criticized for its poor value proposition in the US market, with short range and high price compared to alternatives. The Dodge Charger Daytona is deemed a failure as both a muscle car and an EV, citing high cost, underwhelming performance for its price, and poor EV-specific features like route planning and one-pedal driving. The Toyota bZ4X faces continued criticism for its abysmal DC fast charging performance, with only a slight improvement in charging session limits for 2024, and a confusing pricing structure. The Volkswagen ID.4 is flagged for persistent software glitches, cheap interior feel, and a driving experience that doesn't feel like a modern EV, compounded by a recent stop-sale order. Finally, the Tesla Cybertruck, despite its unique design and technology like steer-by-wire, is criticized for failing to meet its initial hype, with significant discrepancies in range and price, high repair and insurance costs, poor charging curve, and a lack of essential features like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, leading the hosts to prefer other EV trucks on the market.
