10 EVS YOU NEED TO AVOID RIGHT NOW - I DROVE THEM ALL

EV Channels Review

The reviewer identifies ten electric vehicles, both new and used, that consumers should avoid in 2025. The primary criticisms revolve around poor range, outdated technology, high cost relative to offerings from competitors like Tesla and Hyundai, and a general lack of innovation or passion from manufacturers. Specific vehicles like the Fiat 500e are called overpriced with insufficient range, while the Toyota bZ4X/Subaru Solterra are criticized for their "antiquated" displays and poor charging. The Nissan Leaf, despite its historical significance, is deemed outdated. Luxury EVs like the BMW i7 and Genesis G80 electric are flagged for their high price points and lack of compelling unique features compared to rivals. The Mazda MX-30 is singled out for its extremely limited range, and the Audi Q4 e-tron is seen as a rebadged VW ID.4. The Lexus RZ is described as aesthetically pleasing from afar but lacking substance. The Mercedes EQB is criticized for its engineering that mimics internal combustion engines and slow charging. Finally, the Dodge Charger Daytona is placed at number one due to its complete lack of EV-specific route planning, forcing drivers to guess where they might run out of charge, indicating a fundamental misunderstanding of EV usability by the manufacturer.
