TOYOTA E-PALLETTE, HYUNDAI NEXO, KIA NIRO EV - CES 2018 MEDIA DAY 2 FEAT ALEX FROM E FOR ELECTRIC

EV Channels Review

This video covers three distinct electric and fuel cell vehicle reveals from CES 2018: the Toyota e-Palette, Hyundai Nexo, and Kia Niro EV Concept. The e-Palette is presented as a versatile, autonomous electric concept for mobility services, though the hosts and guest Alex Guberman express disappointment, viewing it as a gimmick rather than true innovation. The Hyundai Nexo, a next-generation fuel cell SUV, is acknowledged for its improved efficiency and range (370 miles) with a quick refueling time, but skepticism remains regarding the viability and cleanliness of hydrogen production. The Kia Niro EV Concept is met with similar underwhelming sentiment; while it offers a familiar 238-mile range and potential for good efficiency, it was largely a known quantity rather than a groundbreaking reveal, leading to a feeling that Kia and Hyundai are not pushing the EV envelope as aggressively as expected.
