EV Channels Review

This episode of the EV Revolution Show, hosted by Kenneth Bokor, provides a comprehensive look at global EV trends and a personal update on his 2018 Nissan Leaf. Bokor highlights Costa Rica's ambitious push towards EV adoption, driven by government incentives and favorable demographics, noting the Hyundai Ioniq Electric and used Nissan Leafs as accessible options. He details 2018 global EV sales, with the Tesla Model 3 leading significantly, followed by the Nissan Leaf and Chinese models, and observes the growing dominance of all-electric vehicles over plug-in hybrids. The show also touches on the expansion of CCS charging infrastructure in Europe. A significant portion is dedicated to Bokor's detailed 2018 Nissan Leaf ownership recap, covering costs, energy consumption, and a realistic assessment of range degradation through different seasons, concluding that it remains a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option compared to gasoline cars. Bokor also corrects a previous assumption about Tesla Model 3 sales, clarifying that most recent sales were new orders, not just reservation fulfillment, which he views positively for Tesla's business model.
