Have you considered investing in an EV? Do the vehicles showcased here have features that appeal to you? If not, what should manufacturers do to earn your purchase?

Drives a BMW i3, Hyundai Ionic 5 could be a good follow up, in my dreams I drive a Rivian across the World...

I've had a 2017 Chevy Bolt for about 18 months. I love it although now I'm work from home and don't commute. Still, when I was it was $15 a month for fuel and the first scheduled maintenance is at 150K miles, so much cheaper than the ever increasing repair costs of an ICE. I like all EV owners, never going back to ICE. We do have a Forester for our road trip exploring since it can go anywhere compared to a low to the ground hatchback.

@Mick Krever what?

*We don't suppose to talk about the big bad Nio and XPeng hahahaha 🤣* *- The Verge*

I am actively looking at an interesting list of EV bikes.

We gotta stop with gigantic cars in the US

Could you do a video on EV drive trains and the possible future of them. The Aptera is using hub motors which are way simpler as they have no drive shafts or gears. Just a powered hub. I love the simplicity of the idea but I'm not able to find much basic information on their real world performance. I'm not sure why they are not more common as they seem like a slam dunk to me- I'm maybe missing something? Or perhaps they are too new on the scene for large vehicles and there isn't much info yet? I'm new to the subject of EV's and I appreciate your video on them.

I'm dissapointed that you didn't mention the Aptera. Perhaps you didn't include it as it is not yet in production but is expected to roll the first ones out later this year. Maybe you could do a whole video on the Aptera? I think they are extremely interesting and rather unique in the EV world. For sure anyone interested in EV's would be interested in them I think.

Sorry buddy, thumbs down 2 min into. Pathetic.

Why are Americans so obsessed with SUV's? There are tons of other EV types around.

Great video. Now can we have one for the rest of the world?

Hummer EV is overdesign truck another mistake for GM....now they are eating dust aginst Tesla..

please please PLEASE make a video on the aptera concept

Cybertruck has over 1.2 million preorders

I think the topic is misleading. Every year will be huge for electric cars, not just 2021. 2022, 2023, ... and so on. The electric car era just kicked off and there is no going back. Maybe billions of barrels of oil will stay underground forever.

Dacia Spring EV , ID 4 , Tesla Model Y will be flagship cars of 2021.

Hey Lucid! Selling "air" to the public sounds like a corrupt business practice...

what kind of name is Xpeng? LOL

half a million 100 $ deposits?

Why? What's the answer

I would add Hyundai IONIQ 5 to the list. Hyundai has been making highly efficent EVs for a while and it's newly announced Ioniq 5 looks very promising with great specs, modern design... and it is set for sale this year.

I'm still a few years out until I buy a new car but this has me very excited for the future of EVs.

Wtf is this channel?

If you’re doing EV cars do about the e tron GT

Finally EV's are becoming a thing now...I hope this will help reduce pollution

its called planting more trees

Doesn't that China has the biggest EV market? Nio, BYD, XPeng...

WITH TESLA LEADING.

*"I swear: XPeng does not exist 🛑"* *- The Verge*

*"I swear if we don't talk about: XPeng does not exist 🛑"* * - The Verge*

*We don't suppose to talk about the big bad Nio and XPeng hahahaha 🤣* *- The Verge*

Lucid and rivian has a lot of hype but still no product..i hope they get in the market fast.

Yall didn't say a single thing about EV motorcycles.

Please make a video about Nio (or battery swapping strategy)🙏

Yes, more electric car videos!

It's ridiculous the amount of ads on this video. More ads or more cars

Please, do a video on Nio!

please do more electric car videos, I want to learn more about them as when I am at the right age to buy cars, I want them to be all electric. I'd want to be as informed as possible and these videos help a lot! :D

Overpriced cars, poor charging infrastructure and in some cases, poorly maintained charging points.... Nope, not for me thank you

Electric cars are still... cars. It's not sustainable transportation. Start riding your f****** bicycles right now.

That's Tesla truck is sooo desperate to be conceptually innovative that it's f*cking hideous!!! 🤮 That EV hummer though! I just came 🤤

a video about NIO would be cool!

Not my president...

LOL! We’ve heard this year will be huge for electric cars for at least a decade now. Nope. Still not going to happen.

For a sec I thought that first guy was Nathaniel Drew.

Please make a video about china’s foray into EVs

The crooked kite unquestionably wave because stem dentsply list for a pathetic brandy. harmonious, premium hell

It’s not Dieter, im out!

ITS RUBISH FAR TO EXPENSIVE ELON MUSK CAN KEEP IT!

ELECTRIC CARS ARE FAR TO EXPENSIVE I WILL KEEP MY GASS CAR. ELECTRIC CARS MUST NOT COST MORE THEN$4000. TO $5000. ELON MUSK HE CAN KEEP ELECTRIC CARS FOR HIM SELF ARE YOUREAL!

Talk Nio and other foreign EV startups!

*"I swear: XPeng or the biggest EV market by far does not exist 🛑🤐 Zip"* *- The Verge*

Ev charging stations are the new money makers. They are needed anywhere and everywhere you park and they can be franchised.

nice job guys! Thanks

0:01 YOU AMERICANS SERIOUSLY CAN'T DRIVE.... THAT'S EMBARRASSINGLY... WEAK

It's amusing how most of these cars from legacy manufacturers have faux grills. It reminds me of how the early motor cars looked like buggys from the horse and buggy days.

Who is craving for SUVs? Really? Bulky heavy useless car...

Yes another video on EVs

TEXAS FREEZE RAISES COST OF TESLA CHARGE TO $900.00 TEXAS FREEZE RAISES COST OF TESLA CHARGE TO $900.00

NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT, MY FRIEND.

All those cars probably have better computers than yours

For tesla and lucid definitely, the others, not so much.

YES, make more EV videos 👌🔋

More electric vehicles mean more federal taxes to make up the tax loss of gas tax.

They could pay for it with the subsidies they use for oil.

Isnt torque normally measured in NM ? Never heard of pound feet

I hear it more then NM for description of torque for a car, it's the American way of describing it.

You guys missed Hyundai Ioniq 5 which will be big player in this market.

Tesla is the daddy for the rest of electric vehicles 🔥🔥🔥😂🤣🤣😂

The Rivian doesn't look "masculine" enough for the type of people that normally like to drive pickups.

11,500 lb feet of torque??? Or 1,150 lol

The absence of sedans in the US market is really appalling to me. The auto industry has pushed SUVs too far, and this doesn't bode well for city life at all.

The electric car sounds good but they we will have dependence on electric. If we start driving millions on electric cars the electric grid system will have to be upgraded in parts of the country. Look at the parts of the country that are still without power now because of the storms. I understand electric is an alternative fuel source but it will probably cost billions to upgrade the existing electric grids which have not been upgraded for years and well as more underground power lines. What good is an electric car when there is a weak electric grid and we could be out of power for multiple days? You are stranded.

It would require a 30% expansion for 250 million EVs, if these EVs had VTG you wouldn't have to worry as much as each car would be capable of back flowing into the grid and powering your home for a duration, tesla uses a proof of concept mega battery in Australia to prevent blackouts and brown outs all with huge savings, politicians in the US have gotten real good at making excuses not to upgrade our infrastructure such as, "it's too expensive" or "it cost too much" and my favorite "we dont have money for this!" When the wealthiest nation on earth fails to mend itself it will quickly become the second richest nation on earth, and you know who will take 1st? China, their electrical infastructure has rapidly expanded for a country with significantly less funding then our government. Power in Texas went out because people where using too much gas and there wasn't enough for the GAS powered plants, so it's not just gas infastructure, the Texas government management of its power failed and they blamed it on wind power.

Talk about Nio and Xpeng

Disappointed in verge

Ahahahah, mustang? Really?

Don't know about figures but I am noticing a lot more Tesla's in my hometown of Bundaberg QLD AUS since model 3 has come out.

I definitely wanna know about nio and other emerging EV companies in China. How and If they are advanced in tech vs USA EV market.

They aren't more advanced, they are just cheaper to make so and they copy designs payed for by other companies, these companies can eventually outcompete US ones by doing it, this is a strategy they had for over 20 years and it's working for them.

I would love to see more videos about the electric car industry in China.

*"I swear: XPeng does not exist 🛑🤐 Zip"* *- The Verge*

i don't know who needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving money.invest some part of it if you really want financial freedom.

Mr Roland lerch is a well known certified bitcoin and stock exchange trader. He taught me all the ethics of trading i know today.

@Cleo Jessy Financial advisors heads management/guide on trade and risk on investment.

@Richard Arnold someone already shared it

This Expert must be very good at what he does . Well am gonna find out myself, writing to him now.

How can i reach him? I really need to start investing in a good platform like his.

Finally people are realizing that EV's are not just Tesla. Electrification of the auto industry has been going on for a long time, just without the Tesla cultish hype.

Team anything that isnt tesla

Evs in china yess please

I don’t get Cybertruck haters. If you want pick up truck, then you want rugged. Cybertruck’s body is literally the sturdy chassis, not some aluminium body that dents all over in few years and it’s lighter. It’s literally the only pick-up that has some innovation to it. All the other EV pick ups are literally just heavier pick ups with less range and aren’t no different from any modern pick up we had for decades.

Do a global electric car companies video.

Nio

Talk about the eu and China

That china thing is something I want to see you make a video about

*"I swear: XPeng or that by far the biggest EV market does not exist 🛑🤐 Zip"* *- The Verge*

How about lowering the price? For those of us that make less than minimum wage.

More EV content please!

How you gonna charge it Texas ain’t got no light 😂

Yes make more videos about EV

Cyber truck rules \m/

Yes. I want to see more videos about EVs. I hope an EV would be my next car purchase.

did they miss the sony electric car?

I predict Cybertruck sales of a whopping 6 units in 2021.

Hmm...so no one noticed a broken windows on cyber truck in thumbnail. 🤣

A healthy competition is great thing for all of us. Tesla may be in trouble pretty soon! Tesla doesn't make any profit on its cars so any minute now.........

@Csanad Barczy yet its money they generated.

@Miguel lopez nope, that's investment money

@Csanad Barczy ok does ford make profit with their debt from 2009? Tesla sold 10 billion worth of stock last year, is that profit?

@Miguel lopez Tesla ownes about 6 billion dollars of debt. Last year was the first year they claimed about $900 million but if you off-set that mount against their debt, there is no profit. They survive on promissing rainbows and unicorns to the planet! And if you look at their car production only they can't cover their cost! That's not profit!

@Csanad Barczy do I need crayons for this? The only reason tesla is in business is from profit made by their cars, they sell solar, battery storage, insurance, develop self driving systems, and charging network, these are things tesla is spending $$$ developing for further profits but haven't been completed to the point of generating predictable revenue.

The only thing I'm concerned with is the Battery degredation. If I buy my first EV I will use it maybe atleast 10 years.

Yea please make a video about that

Don't forget about the new Chevy Bolt crossover called EUV.. I think it has the chance to compete with Tesla's model 3 for the best selling Ev spot. It looks great and it starts in the low 30's before incentives.

I have no idea how long is going to take to create a good electric car? 1st I don't want to freeze in the winter because of the battery , 2 nd that battery is going empty in the winter so quick That u cannot be able to use radio to much and u cannot think to drive in the night...u need lights so you're battery is going to be empty very quickly. 3rd If you're out of electricity you're time to recharge is up to 8 hours in the winter more badly... Petrol cars 5 minutes.... If something is broken and u need to repair you're fkttt...to expensive...and u cannot repair at every service... 4th let's say everything what I mentioned is not a problem , and let's trying to analyze the range u can drive with a full battery . You cannot find cars under 30000 euro with what you are able to drive more than 600 km .... every Petrol car is going to drive 1000 km and refuel in 10 minutes...Soo... Why? When ? I will pay taxes and Money for something badly that a fukkn..horse.. Well never... I'm so sorry but are not all the people so Rich and not everyone is going to stay at home when the car is not able to work because of something broken... You cannot go to work, you cannot...etc. You're personal or private recharge station is going to be broken every month...if u use a public one u cannot find to many and you need to pay a lot for 1 kwatt....so I advise everyone to think a 100 time's before buying something that is going to making him insane and crazy everyday... Trust me you'll going to be crazy till the end. Well you n

Battery only drains because it heats itself to maintain full power, if the battery gets cold it cant discharg as much energy so you get reduced capacity and power output, overall this is abut a 30% drain on a 75kwh battery. LEDs, radio, and computer all run on much less power then the battery and cabin heater. A tesla supercharger can still charge them to 80% in 25 minutes during the winter, these chargers are the most common network charging system in the Americas and are more reliable as well, price for these stations still usally put it below gas in terms of cost per mile. You seem to have a lot of bias in EVs feed by your lack of reaserch. Give me more hard hitting complaints.

Dudes check your figures. Globally 3.1 million out of 75 million vehicles were plug ins in 2020. Just do the maths yourself. I m sure it is not 2 percent.

Some charts distinguish between plugins and plug in hybrids.

How many weeks has it been since Trump promised a national test and trace system from the likes of Google again?

Ahaha really?!

yeah, talk about it.

The design of those electric vehicles are freaking COOL.

GREAT STUDIO ENVIRONMENTS - THUMBS UP

great video obv., but WHY NOT MENTIONING THE EV's from CHINA???
