Good for China. Better tech EVs than any other manufacturer.

Who says built from slaves? American auto union? LoL they the reason Ford is thinking of moving their F150 production in Mexico.

I would buy this tomorrow if it were available

I own a '23 Pro, and the grumbling about the infotainment is a bit much. You get the hang of it very quickly. The weakest point is the "ID system" for media controls and VW's nav (which isn't great), but if you use Android Auto or Car Play, you won't be using the ID system much. Plus, they gave me a ridiculous deal on mine, which includes 3 years' free charging at EA stations. I'd love the bigger HP in the '24, but the '23 dual motor is every bit as quick as my old car - a '21 Jetta GLI. That's plenty quick enough.

I’d be waiting for the Kia EV3. It has legroom in the back, heaps more boot storage, buttons and a heads up display. Likely to be cheaper as well.

He reminds me of a more mature Blippi

Is there anyway to change the navigation view?

In this business people are paid to have a certain opinion

About how dirty is to produce an EV from time 2:15, yes the EV is not a produced with a clean process considering the entire chain. Mining is dirty and polluting, transport by large boats is also polluting (mind you, if mining is happening in China, the transport is not so far to the factory) and so on but I don't think it is worst than producing ICE cars. The steel is done with iron which is mined. China is producing over 50% of the world steel and have most of the mines. It doesn't make much difference whether we speak about iron, coal or other types of resources. Mining is polluting anyhow. I would say the main thing that makes the EV's dirtiest is the battery disposal and the fanct that replacement batteries are expensive and difficult to find and expensive to change. As such, one may change the whole car just because of the battery. This is where we need to work it out for the environment. Exchange batteries should be something easy. If the 1st owner don't want the car, the next owners should have the chance to change the battery in a convenient way. As it is, the EV cars will be scrapped just because of batteries that will start loosing their life and this is the big fault for the EVs

I've never had a problem with gloss black in a single car I've owned.

80K? Wide range of consumers? I think not! Yet another potential nail in Lucid's coffin. 50k should be the most for any ' luxury' vehicle in my opinion.

Great car. Lots of cool features. Heated/ventilated/ massaging seats should be standard for front seats.

Nice car, while I haven't driven this or the N - I see no reason to mimic an automatic - especially on the street. I never understood why a CVT needed 'gears' and see no reason why an electric car would need them either. Perhaps if I drove them it would make sense.

The relationship between 'segments' on the battery capacity display, and actual % degradation is rather mysterious on the 2nd generation LEAF. My 2018 LEAF has around 87% battery capacity remaining and all of the 12 capacity bars. This is different from the earlier LEAF (up to 2017). I haven't been able to find a reliable source that explains this relationship definitively.

The biggest downside to this car s the limited range in the Performance trim. I would like to see better route planning and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Otherwise, this is a solid luxury EV.

This car needs the luxury of more range. I’m surprised that it has the same range as the substantially larger electrified GV 70 which also has the same horsepower and boost mode. Maybe it will get the larger battery in 2025 like the refreshed Ioniq5.

Far far better screwed together than the Model Y. High quality build.

Not too much of a fan of the overall design aesthetic, but cant wait to see what they do for the Magma version.

I don’t mean to sound negative , as I love EVs. But until they put a stop to the vandalizing of EV stations, I’ve purchased my last EV. Nothing worse than trying to find a place to charge my car only to find the station is out of order because some creep has either cut the cable or simply damaged the station.

OMG! You're so nerdy!

I work for them, 670 horse, 650 torque, exhaust sound off, but very fast, but still all electric

I had ice cars for years. Then hybrid, then Plug-in RAV4, then now an EV (BMW i4). Let me know if you have any questions lol

The future... legitimate tech

Salty 😀

It isn’t going to help people with chademo ports.

If you wanna charge it at Tesla charger buy a Tesla otherwise get the hell out of my way

Cost?

Even one small screen is too much for me. First thing I do when I sit in my car is to turn it off...

Looks smashing and priced right.

We owned the 2023 VW ID.4 Pro S, and, yes, the infotainment system can be improved and the window switches are annoying. However, after a year and a half of ownership I still love the vehicle. I'm happy to answer any owner questions for this considering or fellow owners. Thanks for the review and God bless.

Not unless they have as Toyota proposed 125 miles of range. RAV4 Prime's rot on dealer lots due to the inflated MSRP & thousands of dollars of dealer add-ons. I'm sure Mary would be all excited to have an average transaction price of 50-60K'ish for upcoming GM PHEV's.

At LEAST get a plug-in, if not BEV

OMG! You're so nerdy cute!

People will start plugging in when gas is over $5 a gallon.

Part of the attraction for an EV is getting away from ICE maintenance and repair. Plug in hybrids still have to get emissions testing, still have to have regular oil changes, still have transmission problems... I think I much prefer to get a commuter EV for 90% of my use cases and keep my current ICE vehicle for the rare occasion I travel out of town etc..

My 4xE is currently plugged in. Collecting photons that land on my roof, converting them to kWh and shoving them back into the battery.

ordered the tech + pack in green. waiting arrival cant get enough of how the colour suits the car.

A lot of people don’t like the idea of a plug in hybrid based on theory of how it will perform. I have a 2021 Rav4 Prime and it’s been great. It’s a great EV around town and on short trips. I drive electric 90 % of the time and when I go on long trips its a very efficient hybrid vehicle. It’s been reliable and fun to drive. So far so good based on my personal experience.

Got an awesome sale between gov discounts and dealer discounts on my 2023 Escape PHEV (almost $19k CAD off). Can honestly say it’s exactly what I want living up in the north where the EV infrastructure is sparse and slow @50kw (or less) charging. Since I live in an apartment, couldn’t get the apartment owners to put in a 30+ amp EV plug-in to my parking, so the mix of a PHEV has been working perfectly too and from work, and 44mpg+ hybrid mode on long trips. I know people want to push EV, but people like us in the north for now just don’t have the infrastructure like big cities, and when you live in an apartment, you might not have a landlord willing to allow EV charging outside of 110v (even if you offer to pay). For me, I think PHEV is a good transition, whether it’s temporary as infrastructure and regulations still catch up or if it’s all a person needs/affords, I’m happy and would recommend for those unsure. Just wish PHEV’s would at least get 100km+ EV only mode, only get about 65km~ on daily trips.

I would, if you need 2 cars in the family, a cheap EV for around town like the Bolt and an ICE for longer trips. This is what we do and the default is the person going the longest trip in town for the day gets the Bolt. Cheers

I drove a BMW i3/range extender for 8 years . I used the motor once a month. I started it, let it run for 15 minutes, then turned it off. I adjusted my driving style to use the electric range of the i3. I used the motor a few times while driving, but, for the most part, carried the extra weight of the motor and premium fuel for nothing other than the peace of mind. As was stated previously, if an EV meets your needs, get an EV. If it doesn’t, get a hybrid. Don’t settle for a vehicle that tries to do both well, but is mediocre at best.

I regularly meet people with 4xe Jeeps and being frustrated with the electric range not being far enough.

Either buy a fuel efficient car or buy an EV. I don’t like middle men. I would be perfectly happy in a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder so long as the car is comfortable. I don’t care about the extra power. But an EV gives you so much more. PHEV seems like too much sophistication.

If they don't plug in they are not helping themselves. In getting about 80+ miles per gallon with plugging my car with 28Ev and can drive it anywhere

Hybrids are not an answer. In the long run they are ridiculously expensive. You either go ICE or EV. I’m in favor of EV. It works for me. But, right now they are not for everyone. Unless they come down in price and the infrastructure is improved in this country like it is in other parts of the world, the EV automotive industry will be just spinning its wheels, so to speak.

I do like the idea of PHEVs, though I think I'm more of a fan of range extending type EVs. I hope that one, the other or both become more prevalent though as automakers realize perhaps pure EVs need a bit more gestation time before they are ready for true mass adoption.

I think from ice to hybrid to PHEV to fully electric. But you have to plug in correct.
