TOP 5 ELECTRIC CARS IN 2022

EV Channels Review

This video presents a "Top 5 Electric Cars" list for the UK market in 2022, emphasizing value and real-world usability over pure performance or manufacturer claims. The reviewer stresses that "best" is subjective, depending on individual needs, but aims to cover a broad spectrum from affordable city cars to premium luxury vehicles. The Fiat 500e is praised for its fun character and decent real-world range (around 140-150 miles) in its larger battery configuration, offering good value for its price point. The MG range (MG4, MG5, ZS) is highlighted for its exceptional value, with the ZS Long Range being a standout for its affordability compared to competitors like the Tesla Model Y. The Kia e-Niro is recognized as a solid all-rounder family car with a good warranty and over 250 miles of real-world range, though it doesn't excel in any single category. The Genesis GV60 is lauded for its premium interior quality and driving experience, built on the strong platform shared with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, justifying its slightly higher price. Finally, the Mercedes EQS is crowned for its luxurious, yacht-like interior, solid build, and overall premium package, making the high price feel justified, unlike some technically advanced but less premium-feeling competitors like the Tesla Model S. The reviewer also touches on the rising prices of EVs, noting that some models, like the Tesla Model 3, may no longer represent good value at their current price points.
