A lot of luxury nonsense here that will do very little to bring about the necessary move away from fossil fuels for personal transport. The concentration is on huge range (big heavy expensive battery) or ridiculous power – or both!
Why is no one thinking about a 40kwh battery – providing a much lighter and therefore better handling car that could fulfil most people’s driving needs for multiple days between charge – that could be piggy backed with an extra 40-60kwh for longer range when needed?
Holy cow
I LOVE that Alpha.
Electric is undoubtedly the future.
When will the Nio be produced and sold in the US?
I think my favourite is the Alpha purely on looks. Great episode thank you.
All to expensive odenary people want a cheep electric car that can do 250miles without all the bells and whistles
is that voice/accent computer generated or real? either way it was annoying.
Electric cars and SUV's are ok but what will happen when there is no electricity in the world . People will still have to use gas powered auto's. And I would never want a self driving car , where's the fun .
The Mercedes from the back looks exactly like the new Peugeot 208…
BYD looks really nice)) IS that what it calls a European Design?
Toyotaaaa you late… Run run
Xpeng stolen tec worth considering at purchase.
If we really cared about the planet Aptera is the only one, no need for huge grid up grade can be charged on 110 + 20-40 miles a day solar.
Nice overview, thank you!
The Aptera is missing its wings.
Awesome!
Aptera
Mercedes-Benz my favourite car
Happy to see the canoo being made in the USA and maybe UPS and other shipping companies will buy those and when are they going to talk about installing more charging stations all over the place it should be as quick or faster as filling up the gas tank and some of the screens are cool hopfully they respond to voice command well can’t wait to see more
I do quite like the look of the Alpha Ace! The shape reminds me of the Alfa Romeo Zagato Junior.
So only the Chinese companies are taking the transformation to EV seriously and American companies are busy making gimmicky EVs, raising funds, hyping the stocks and voilà you have a multi-billion $ company out of a photoshop session.
i love the , vision s
Nio has a variant of the upcoming flagship with over 600 mile range. Impressive
Boooring, expensive, wasteful !!!
Automakers really need to ditch the WLTP ratings.
The world of electric cars is growing rapidly. The 2021 has just begun but there is already a whole lot of EV-related news for you to check out. Which of these models gets you excited the most?
