EV Channels Review
This year-end review of EV ownership in 2024 highlights both the advancements and frustrations within the electric vehicle landscape. The reviewer praises the Mustang Mach-E for its appealing, non-futuristic design and enjoyable driving dynamics, while expressing admiration for the upcoming Renault R5 and R4. Charging infrastructure receives mixed reviews: Ionity and Circ-Electric are lauded as the best providers in Europe and Canada/US respectively for reliability and coverage, with Iceland noted for its surprisingly robust and high-speed charging network. Altronix and BYD Instavolt dispensers are highlighted for ease of use. Electrify America and Electrify Canada are commended for significant improvements in reliability and network function. However, the reviewer identifies Ottawa, Ontario, as a "complete black hole" for charging, citing poor infrastructure and long waits. A significant pet peeve is drivers leaving EVs plugged in at fast chargers long after reaching 100%, particularly Volkswagen owners who reportedly receive free charging. Despite ongoing controversies, the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are still recommended for their seamless user experience and ease of driving.
