THE ELECTRIFYING PODCAST WITH NO NAME: A WEEKLY ROUND-UP OF ALL THINGS ELECTRIC | EPISODE 2

EV Channels Review

This episode of The Electrifying Podcast With No Name features hosts Ginny and Mike discussing recent EV news and their driving experiences. The Smart #1 receives a surprisingly positive review, with the host praising its build quality, comfortable ride, and peppy performance, despite initial reservations about its name and size. The infotainment system, featuring a "fox" virtual assistant, is criticized as "badly judged" and unintuitive, though Apple CarPlay is a saving grace. The discussion also touches on the challenges of charging infrastructure, particularly at motorway service areas, and the growing adoption of EVs in hotels. Mike shares his ongoing affection for his BMW i3, which he's keeping due to tax bills, while Ginny highlights the practicality of the Polestar 2 for film crews. The episode concludes with a look at upcoming reviews, including the Citroen e-C4 X and BYD, and a discussion on the surprising sales figures of Chinese manufacturers like BYD and MG, alongside the rising trend in used EV prices.
