EV Channels Review
This video chronicles an impromptu road trip from Germany to Austria in an AIWAYS U5, a Chinese EV, alongside a modified Tesla Model 3. The AIWAYS U5 is presented as a comfortable and spacious vehicle with a premium feel in certain areas, offering a good ride quality and a competitive price point under 40,000 euros. However, it suffers from a dated software experience with humorous translation errors and a low peak charging rate of under 100 kW, making it more suited for city driving than extensive road trips. The reviewer notes quirks like the pedal placement and driver assistance warnings, but ultimately finds it a decent option for its price, especially for those prioritizing comfort and space over cutting-edge tech or performance. The trip also highlights the growing EV community in Europe and the increasing accessibility of public charging infrastructure, including Tesla Superchargers for non-Tesla vehicles.
