    Are these crop of cheap EVs interesting enough to lure you away from gas, or are you going to wait for even more inexpensive options? Let us know!

      No way…much much too heavy. When someone brings out a 2,500 pound electric sports car (hello, Miata), then I will be joining the electric crowd.

    Before you buy new, check the used EV pricing. Hertz has flooded the used EV market now causing prices to drop faster than a rock. Nothing wrong with used Teslas, save the money over new.

    • @BremboT
      @BremboT Před 3 měsíci +3

      Well, the way how used car interest rates are set up, it sometimes works out to be the same. If you have the cash money buying used can save you. But if you're just a regular Joe that rely on financing, probably better off buying new, get the EV incentive and cheaper interest rates.

    • @HNRichard
      @HNRichard Před 2 měsíci +4

      When buying used, there's no way to tell the real battery health of the car. Except for a few select EVs. Thus, many prefer buying new EVs instead.

    Love the video and the content you guys are putting up both in media and on your website.
    The EV range test data is also fascinating and a real straight-forward way to cut through all the advertised range claims by the manufacturers and show us what a real world figure looks like.
    One suggestion, if its possible - can you include the EV efficiency (wh/mile) in your charts?
    While range is a good data point, it can be skewed by larger battery size; vs say a more efficient (but smaller) battery with similar or maybe slightly lower range.
    Higher battery efficiency could mean less frequent charge-ups and lesser charging times (maybe you could do a video on this with your expert opinion), so its definitely an interesting data point to compare.

    Hyundai is offering a factory discount of 7,500 usd for the Kona, so its cheaper than the MSRP. Its been extended into to Feb. Though from my clicking around I see alot of dealerships are trying to steal the discount.

  • @carlfe4891
    @carlfe4891 Před 3 měsíci +4

    EX30 really shouldn't be on this list either - it can't be bought today. You put in a $500 deposit that one day may turn into an actual order. If you didn't do that literally 8 months ago, you aren't getting until next year.

    A few look nice. However as a 6’3” man, the front leg room of the 4d SUVs are usually quite uncomfortable. They just don’t make many 2dr anymore. Which are usually far roomier up front.

      i had never driven an suv before but test drove a mazda cx30 although its super compact…i assumed the height would be the same or better than the camry i drive, but the camry is on another level of spaciousness compared to the cx30. i was shocked. the back seats should be removed because only a small child would fit back there. idk if a carseat even fits back there

    Tesla did change reported EPA numbers just before model 3 refresh launch. Maybe they will finally get close to the numbers on your testing loop now.

  • @bobberardino9760
    @bobberardino9760 Před 3 měsíci +1

    The title lists “cars you can buy today”. The Equinox is not available for sale and is coming soon so it shouldn’t be on this list. Other cars like the EX-30 as well. So this is not really accurate.

    Where is the Volkswagen ID.4?
    ID.4 Standard has 209mi EPA range and starts at $38995.
    The much better ID.4 Pro has 275mi EPA range and starts at $43995. And they qualify for the $7500 federal tax credit!
    So the ID.4Pro comes in at the same price as the EX30, has the same range and power figures but it offers more space and a nicer interior
