I was searching for this comment thanks! 😁
@@thousandcold most welcome, JBL.

Thank you for the hard work and the great information. I am looking at an EV. Jury’s out as to which one. Leaning Tesla, if they lower the price on the Y AWD. If cost remains high, I will look at the Ionic by Kia. Holding out a little longer for Tesla.
None of the vehicles discussed in this video are affordable for the average low wage working person
Thank you for your excellent review.
No problem!
Hi! I’m loving your videos, do you have any comments about the ID.4? Would you recommended?
I have this car and it's not a good car/suv. EV part is fine, but their system to control things like radio, heat, defrost, and mobile app are all terrible and beyond frustrating.
Another great video, but the time stamps are sorely missing.
Great review thanks
What is your thoughts about Hyundai kona EV please?
I just purchased the KIA EV wind AWD. The wait time from order was about 3 months. I had my eye on this car from the moment I heard and read about it. It’s truly impressive car. From the tech on the inside to functionality for daily driving in Colorado. I do have an order in for the Chevy Blazer, which I am equally anticipating to be a great EV with lot’s of options and functionality. It’s great to see an honest opinion for full electric vehicles.
Thanks for the help.
Priorities are Range and Reliability. So far, the latter is still very questionable but the primary index of quality engineering and construction. After 25 yrs., my ICE car is still perfect and a joy to own. But, when the time does eventually come, it will be an EV for me. So I'll continue to follow your reviews carefully.
Same. I was gifted a 2013 Camry 2 years ago for college. I love the sedan❤️ but I’m noticing a major shift in the car industry! I want to invest in an EV & have it for years on end, so durability & Reliability is a must have. Just like you said, range anxiety is real and questionable for an EV! Absolutely love the Ioniq 5, but I know it’s best to play the waiting game in years to come.
@@Monarq-q First, no passenger vehicle is ever an investment (certain antiques/classics excepted). They are rapidly-depreciating "assets". Your Camry is so new that, with only average care, it should be able to serve you well for many years to come. During that time, your financial assets will be able to compound more rapidly than otherwise unencumbered by the huge financial drain caused by a premature car purchase. With that said, I've been around a long time and would likely never have a Hyundai/Kia product on my short list.
@@BioniqBob ??
@@wholeNwon Sorry, I was lost. Cheers
A friend bought a new Bolt last month. She drove it one week and it quit in a parking lot. Had it towed to the dealership where it has sat for 31 days. The part has been in for two weeks, but the ONE EV tech is out on vacation. She still does not have an ETA on when she gets her car back.
wait ... a friend??? or a friend of a friend??? or a friend of a friend of a friend ... or
You just heard from Timmy behind the Shell gas station tell you during smoke break
@@MrAllister9 She finally got her car back. Took 10 weeks, but dealership did not even address service recall problems while it was there. Has to take her car back in March for that. If you were actually interested in the truth about these cars, you would know that Chevy has real problems servicing EVs.
@@galerae947 Gm serviced more then 11k Tesla's last year ... Maybe they were busy fixing them first
@@galerae947 What part was she waiting for that disabled the car completely?
@@MrAllister9 The e-brake module. Locked the emergency brake on and would not release. Had to have it skidded up onto the tow truck because two wheels were locked up.
Loved this! Also, when is the video coming out for the new EV vehicles to lookout for?
Next month!
@@carhelpcorner awesome!! Thank you!
I'm waiting to see what's coming.
I have a video on that coming soon 👍
Great topic. Disagree on the Toyota/Subie - should have the ID4 in there. Thanks for the review.
I find it funny that Model Y do not make it into the list while bZ4X do.
I drive a Model 3 myself and love it.
What’s your thoughts on the Audi etron series?
11th out of 10? Nice car though
I would put it around the same place as the Volvo XC40. The biggest issue with it is limited driving range.
@@carhelpcorner thank you. My wife and I are on the long waiting list for the Q4 e-tron. Just wondering if the wait is worth it. If you put it at par with the XC40, that's good.
DC fast charging is nice, but they tell you not to do it as it depletes the battery life. So occasional use only.
I have the i4 and i does not get to 300 miles. At 80% charge, I might get 180 and the only time so far I have charged it to 100% I might have been able to squeeze out 240. Not really an issue for me as I got it because I wanted a luxury car, I am loyal to BMW, I use it for mostly local drives and we have a gas car for our longer trips. Love the card despite the lower range than advertised.
I'm in a waiting mode. Our 3 rides are 1 Lexus, 2 Hondas, all 2020. If Hybrid cars keep rising as we approach the potential 2035 deadline, we make convert those extremely durable cars to Hybrids.
Going rates are about $10,000USD, installed. With time and growing competition, those prices will drop.
But full electric? Gotta have a minimum of 450mi range for our needs. And we're getting closer every day. Also, I expect breakthroughs in Hydrogen, or even other new technologies.
I'm just sitting back and waiting. 🥱
I like powering my house with it, or
ruclips.net/video/6WSbzDQKvQo/видео.html
Hydrogen seems like a lost cause that’s not going to happen. The infrastructure is too expensive to build and maintain.
More to come! Woohoo! Can’t wait!
ruclips.net/video/0qfvhA1eXKY/видео.html
yours is the best list
Thanks
After the Bolt they all got more expensive again. They’re all 50k+, ridiculous
I always love watching this guy’s car videos because they’re so thorough and informative. Check this one out about the 10 best electric cars you can get now. The one I would disagree with the Toyota BZ4X that he put at the No.4 spot simply because there’s a literal issue with the wheels falling off that new electric car. It’s crazy how he didn’t mention that. The other choices are solid, but I’m not buying some cheap ass Nissan Leaf that has shitty performance. My picks would be the Ford Mach E, Model 3, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and maybe the Volvo one.
Luckily Toyota stopped sales to fix that issue before delivering any BZ4Xs to customers. Now all is fine, but yes I should have touched on it 👍
@@carhelpcorner Thank you for responding to my comment. I heard that Toyota had to buy back all of these cars because of this issue and that no customer has it now. That as of now, they didn’t figure out what’s causing this issue. To me, it’s highly suspicious that it’s been over 4 months and they haven’t found a fix to that car. Maybe there’s more underneath the hood then they’re letting on.
@@aalmi002 No they found a fix and announced it recently. All BZ4Xs being produced have new lug bolts and a new wheel design to address the problem. Luckily no cars were delivered to customers before this issue was discovered. It was caught very early.
i came from a video saying that the Mach-e is not a good option , has many recalls , most of them regarding of power loss in hard accelerations
the xc40 is not starting at $45k Canadian. its $56k
Whaddabout the new Prius ? Oh I guess we need the hybrid list.
What about the Model Y? This review seriously underscores the issue with public charging. The hyundai and kia cars are great, but they don't have a frunk and limited cargo space like the other options. Also, what about safety? Was that even a consideration?
I would buy IONIC 5 OR KIA EV6
Wow E.X.P.E.N.S.I.V.E.
Forgot to mention new GMs. As for Toyota, they are basically rethinking their entire BEV strategy and recently stated they will use a new and better EV platform than the one on the BZ4X and Solterra.
And Honda is basically… nowhere.
Forgotten, or not top ten?
Oddly, little time on the many features of the Teslas (which outsell all other EVs combined 2 to 1 in the US… for a reason) what of the Model Y? The best selling BEV in the world?
And what of the Polestar? Why haven’t you mentioned one of the big factors re range… which is, how do we charge these machines?
If range is important, it is because a) you do long trips or b) you can’t charge at home. In both cases, understanding how many TRULY high speed chargers you can find and how fast they are, should make all the difference. Being able to charge at 350 is nice but where?
Tesla’s have a huge number of chargers available to them at anywhere from 120 to 250. Since last year, nearly all new Tesla chargers have been 250.
These are the reasons, along with actually functioning Over The Air updates, built in security (Sentry mode), dog mode to protect pets left in car and many other features which constantly improve the car, which sway a persons decision.
Who knew Hyundai and Kia would be the top picks...
BYD and Hyundai are the best EV cars
Ship all the electric cars to Mars, the Martians need them really bad.
Searches best affordable ev's, here's a list of super expensive ev's.. thanks
What about the Kia Niro?
If every single person in the country Hoooonnnnnk Locked their car how much sum noise do you think that would make? Well They DO.
The Auto Industry made a HUGE mistake with this technology!
Please lock your vehicle quietly No Honk so people can sleep at night and have peace during the day.
How:
Press Lock and Unlock on Fob at the same time for 2-4 seconds.
This should turn honk off.
Check with your dealer as some cars are slightly different.
Thanks!
Where is Mercedes EQS? It’s better than all of those cars in terms of tech and range
I’ll probably just get an H1
thanks for the review. My Tesla 3 four year warranty is coming up and I wonder if I should keep it or trade. your thoughts
I bought my new Model 3 four months ago. The bottom panel has come loose. They can’t fix the wind-noise issue and the seat heater doesn’t work. I wonder what will go wrong next. No way I’m keeping it to end-of-warranty. Words for the wise...
I will order 2024 Chevrolet EV blazer suv, please talk about GM EV on your thoughts. :)
Bring down the cost to below 20k and even senior citizens may consider buying one.😮
Each conversion results in a loss of energy, so the overall system becomes more and more inefficient with each conversion. That is why cars that run on a load of battery cells are also very inefficient due to all those conversion steps (apart from the enormous environmental damage caused by the cobalt and lithium mines for the extraction of necessary elements and the disposal of those batteries that once again burden the environment) compared to the internal combustion engine where the calorific value of the fuel is converted directly into kinetic energy.
In the overall picture, "green" cars are not green at all and it is a pity that we as consumers are not given fair information.
Totally agree, see my other comments. The Marxists are throwing out our tax money at these polluting junks.
I’d get the Kia EV 6 Performance, as for wishful thinking.
Ariya is absolutely the best looking.
That's a great one too 👍
Do you have info on the a4 etron
Interest rates rising, inflation surging and a long recession. A great time to go into even more debt get an overpriced new electric car! Hey let’s get your loans officer to kick you out of your house and take your car keys too! 😊
Most of these EV’s become virtually useless in Canadian winters losing 1/3 of their range. Range anxiety skyrockets when your stuck in a snowstorm.
Only an idiot would “buy” (loan) a $50,000-$75,000 car in 2022/2023. Once the bank makes that trigger call to deadbeat debters who missed a payment they’ll want their stuff back. The average car payment is now over $700/mth. Pure financial insanity.
Best advice? Wait until the recession is over, interest rates decline and you start to see dealer rebates on EV’s. And watch GM. Especially the Equinox ✅
exactly, just get a 4k used car till the recession is done. sell it for 4k also
@@LCBear Precisely! Excellent strategy. 👍
Rich people ask “ How much?”
Broke people ask “ How much down and how much a month?”
🤓
Buy hybrid or ICE.
BEV's are far too expensive, unreliable, have a big TCO (even huge when you include the battery replacement and insurance), much shorter life, are too polluting (see other comments), very dangerous (battery hazard), not easy to use (especially on long trips or in extreme weather), are controllable by the Marxist governments etc.
Tesla. For the extensive charging network
No Lucid, No Genesis on this list..interesting...
Chevrolet Equinox
OMG, the top 2 EVs are from S. Korea...
Hyundai Ionic 5 👍👍
Too expensive. My current gas car works fine so I’ll wait until prices come down. The Tesla model 3 became $10 k more expensive in 1 year! Crazy
Even with the recent price cuts, these electric junks are still too expensive because of the most important factors to buy a car: reliability, TCO, life time, safety, range, comfort and mostly ideology (I shall never buy something forced by the Marxists, especially Chinese puppets like Biden).
vw id4?
Yes indeed!
#12/10 sorry
I like powering my house
ruclips.net/video/6WSbzDQKvQo/видео.html
EV6
Some day playboy some day
Problem is, NO ONE can buy these cars 'cause they're not available. If they are available, the dealerships are over charging for them.
Tesla model 3 or kia ev 6. Charging its whats keeping me from getting an ev i live in an appartment and theres teslas public chargers 10 minutes away appart from that im paralized i dont know what to do.
Hybrid or ICE (best second-hand deals).
BEV's are a scam, see my other comments.
Byd Atto3 or MG EV ZS.😂 Not on your pricey list for sure. After all EVs are not an investment by any sense, it’s all an experiment. Every model out there now will be obsolete in a matter of a couple of years, so it’s hyper depreciation and redundancy when better range batteries are available.
Lol! Chinese trash 😂
How come Rivian or Lucid are not on the list? They're amazing vehicles
Not realistic attainable options for the majority of consumers
@@carhelpcorner Agree. Except Rivian costs about 70-80K, not much more than BMW in the video. The line from affordable to luxury gets pretty blurry at this point🙂
I'm looking for a used model 3
This is a channel for the US car market instead of the world car market. Otherwise it will be naive to leave out China made EVs that outsold all the brands mentioned in the video, in other parts of the world.
Buy Chinese junks, get the Chinese commies!
You say the word "too" a lot.
no model y?
I'm liking that new canoo van ev. I hope they have an extended range version.
Toyota BZ4x not worth any money and should not be even considered they could have done much better.
They're too new to be making any comments like that. Have you driven one yourself or just putting your opinion about them out here?
@@jamesseabolt5915 for a company that has been making cars mind you millions of them can do better. I have driven most ev’s beat fun was Spark bad in range great little car to drive even that kept its wheels on. Point blank the company in question is dragging its heels right or wrong it does have impact on pricing from all other car makers.
What regulations are coming to your EV buying.
First 8 years of highway road due at purchase. Used or new out of state registrations will be charged for 5 years.
New NG power plant infrastructure Fee collected yearly with registration. State total fees should be sufficient to build two new NG power plants every year.
Fire rescue training fee on yearly registration.
Battery recycling fee at purchase. Manufacturers will be required to except and recycle LI batteries used in there brand forever. Those that will not comply will not be allowed to sell EV’s in State for 5 years.
Law enforcement will be required to report accidents involving electric cars with LI batteries. Wrecking companies will report to state vehicles recovered with LI batteries. On scene accident sights involving battery leaks will reported to state EPA authorities and considered a hazardous spill.
Environmental battery production fee.
New sales numbers shall be tied to real grid electric production capabilities. Each year the State sets the number of units that can be sold in that year. That number includes new or used cars out of State registrations.
New infrastructure charging Stations shall use only power they produce locally on property sight and can not connect to local grid without approval of the State governor.
Abandonment of an EV on private property with batteries on board is criminal act with penalties up to 1 year in jail and $10k fine. Abandonment is a car without a current registration for more than one year.
Well done!
Electric Cars, while they are quieter and don’t directly emit gasses, are in reality only around 20 percent more environmentally friendly because they use electricity. What is the most common type of power generator? FOSSIL FUELS. Electric cars are nothing unless that electricity itself is clean. And the thing is, we could totally do it. The US government could easily stop spending money on election campaigns and extensive weapons and instead build renewable resource power plants. Wave Energy alone could produce up to 60 percent of the US’s energy output, and combine that with many other types that can be optimized for any environment, we could, and should, be at least 50 percent clean energy in the next 10 years. Unfortunately, greed of fossil fuel companies will do anything to stay alive. I saw a disgusting ad actually advertising using oil over green electricity.
the leaf at least in my experience is terrible, the battery is terrible and doesn’t do great, and when driving on the freeway to get terrible miles per kilowatt or what ever measurement they use
Lucid just wasn't good enough either I suppose?
Too expensive and not a realistic option for most consumers
Tesla claps no diff.
I’m leaning on Hyundai , second Subaru
This list is not complete without some Chinese EVs
Buy Chinese clunkers, get the Chinese commies!
EV has about half the part count of a gas car, but yet these EVs cost 2 to 4 times as much.?? It has its own type of pollution ( gases from Lithium or Ultium batteries) known to expel highly toxic gases both when charging and discharging. This added to our already polluted air. The total operating cost of these EVs is extremely high on the long run.. No thanks, I'll pass. I don't want to add to the problem.!
At least I won’t die when sitting in my garage with one
@@soyer4137 The research, published in Nano Energy, identified more than 100 toxic gases released by lithium-ion batteries (Li-ions), and other EV automotive grade batteries ,including carbon monoxide. The gases are potentially fatal, they can cause strong irritations to the skin, eyes and nasal passages, and harmful to the environment. You're surrounded in a pool of toxic chemical gases every time you drive your EV, not to mention a constant fire hazard.
Lithium batteries do not off gas whatsoever. They are sealed.
@@tannerlesueur2186 EV PEOPLE , you need to do a little more research or ... go back to school and
try not to kill us all, by trying to saving us .!

Spouting propaganda then claim you don’t want to be part of the problem. That’s rich.
EVs don’t pollute when charging/discharging.
Over their life cycle they’re over 3x less polluting than gas vehicles.
Depending on the vehicle, they can be cheaper than gas over the course of a 6-8 year lifespan due to reduced fuel costs and reduced maintenance costs. Definitely not 2-4x more expensive with that in consideration.
Excluding Chinese EV cars makes this list extremely dull.
It's not the list dull, but the stupid comments.

Debating between a Tesla model 3 and a BMW plug-in hybrid 330e.
Teslas are bought at twice the amount compared to all other evs combined. Any one who doesn't put Tesla at number one is getting paid by another car company. They are the safest car, largest range, by far the best technology, 10 times better charging experience. People aren't stupid.
People buying BEV's are very stupid. While Tesla is better than others, their junks are still very unreliable (something like #26 in Reliability Consumer Reports top), very poor quality etc.
The EV's are bought for the virtue-signalling or for the tax cuts.
Beside being fast (great acceleration due to instant couple) and quiet, the EV's are an "eco"-Marxist scam, just like the Diesel for small/city cars was few decades ago, based on the huge lie that CO2 is a pollutant.
EV's are far too expensive (even without factoring in the more and more expensive battery and special tires replacements), unreliable, impractical (like range anxiety, especially in the winter), very dangerous, time-consuming and CONTROLLable (the government can shut down the car YOU paid for because of BS reasons like exceeding your carbon or social credit or whatever they invent at the NWO request).
I 100% bought my Tesla Y for the tax credit, state rebate & charging at home. I live in CA where Gas prices are ridiculous, but I mostly bought it because its so fun to drive.
@@cmartinsgirl, I understand your reasons, a friend of mine bought a Tesla Y using the same logic. However, there are high expenses for you in the future (hugely expensive battery, tires, insurance, time to charge when travelling, some body work after small crashes etc.) plus the big threat of burning down your house! Not to mention that in probably 10 years you' ll sell the car for few thousand bucks (meaning a total depreciation/loss of few tens of thousands dollars)... Still, the main problems with electrics are that: 1. You encourage nonetheless the left's madness (huge in Commiefornia); 2. The consumed batteries will pollute again (not that much as when they were built, but still). And eventually you'll be facing the consequences. And you'll not like it at all...
