GAS PRICES ARE SKY HIGH - HERE ARE THE BEST CHEAP ELECTRIC CARS TO BUY AND TO AVOID!

EV Channels Review

This video tackles the pressing issue of high gas prices by identifying affordable electric vehicles for purchase, focusing on models under $20,000. The hosts, Roman and "Jay," present a "best to worst" list of pure EVs they've personally owned or reviewed. The "best" list highlights the fun-to-drive Fiat 500e (with limited range), the practical Chevy Bolt (after battery recall fixes), the quirky Smart EV (older models recommended), the well-rounded VW e-Golf (2017+), and the unique BMW i3 (especially with the range extender). On the "worst" side, the Kia Soul EV is criticized for being underpowered and having limited range, the Honda Clarity Electric for its dated design and poor range, the newer Smart EV for even less range, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV for its golf-cart-like nature, and the first-generation Nissan Leaf for its battery degradation issues and outdated charging standard. The hosts also briefly touch on hydrogen fuel cell cars like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo as a California-specific alternative, noting their limited infrastructure. The overall verdict is that despite some drawbacks, there are viable and affordable EV options available for consumers looking to escape high gas prices.
