    I think the Smart #1 is more exciting than the Skoda and the Kia but the range isn’t as good, but that not a problem for me

    I’m now part of the electric car club now 🎉 I got the Scottish government grant to buy a second hand electric car and I found a Citroen eC4, 1500 miles, e-series and I couldn’t be more happier with the tech inside, she drives amazing!

    The Elroq looks exactly like my Kona facelift, and I like it, it’s rear wheel drive which I think all EVs should be for general common sense.

    I wouldn’t worry about the price of the Inster. List prices are a guide at best these days and given the whopping discounts you can get on Stellantis products I imagine lots of cheap pre reg deals after it’s been on sale a while

    Glad to see the electric R5 isn’t a giant, inefficient joke, but kept focus on humble and efficient, which is the better tribute.

      I saw an initial review for it that stated its actually a tiny bit shorter than the current Clio, so definitely a small car.

      @@toyotaprius79 It looks like 18-inch wheels with 195/55 R18 tires according to the French configurator. That’s narrower than current Leaf, 500e, or ID3 and the same width as BMW’s i3s. Tall wheels aren’t necessarily bad for efficiency. BMW went out of their way to use of skinny 19″ wheels on the base i3. Did you see a different size quoted for the new R5?

    Tom I think that cars are like most things in life, we each have our own likes and dislikes. What suits me won’t suit the next person. I’m glad that there is now a wider choice of EV’s. I’m with Ginny on this, I love the look of the mini Enyaq (Elroq), it’s much better than the EV3 or volvo. I think ṣ̌koda have done a great job with removing the badge from the bonnet and steering wheel and just putting the name. That’s my humble opinion. Great job with today’s video, loved the chemistry with the 3 of you. 💙💙💙

    On charging and running costs, i mostly charge at home on the overnight rate and with solar pv in the summer. Last year for 13500 miles i used £267 of electricity, less than 2p per mile. That was on an Octopus tariff, now swapped to Tomato Energy which on average is 30% cheaper.

    I’m awaiting the Hyundai Inster and Skoda Epiq. If they don’t appeal to me, I will probably go for a used Kia EV3 in the next year or two.

    I wish Skoda and the VW group in general, would offer a better warranty.
    I expect 5 years as standard.

    Thanks EV team, for our weekly 30 minutes of EV info-fun.
    I think most EVs are generic, because the designers all use AI, fed by wind tunnel programs. Result, . . . endless lines of deadly boring 4-door sedans and SUVs.
    Once the overall concept is ready, the designers themselves can only add some “gimmicky” things. A line or stripe here, and a shadow with color there, the shape of the light longer or rounder . . . that’s it. And it has to be easy and cheap to manufacture.
    If you only saw the silhouette, no one would know what car it was.
    Today you can see from a mile away that a car from the 50s or 60s is coming . . . . . . Why? . . . .
    Those were still designed by a person, with enough imagination and a sense for special shapes, that HE thought were beautiful.

    I’m intrigued to hear what Euro NCAP score the Inster and the Renault 5 get, if they ever get tested. My money is on the 5 doing better.

    Sorry about my NDA comment but I found it funny when you was speaking about breaking NDA’s on the previous week’s half hour kilowatt podcast 😂

    Great work though guys! Your YT channel is my favourite for EV content! Thanks!

    Skoda are very late to this party. We traded our ICE Karoq in for a used Kona Electric because we wanted something electric & smaller than the Karoq with a decent range. The Kona has been great but it’s not without it’s faults (annoying driver aids that can’t be turned off permanently, too easy to spin the front wheels & the ride is a bit choppy). The Elroq looks to be the same size as the Karoq so probably not for us. As a result we’ll have to wait for a used Skoda Epiq to replace our Kona in 2 years time. An EV3 might be an option but might be a tad too big but we will definitely not be considering the button-less & driver display-less EX30.

    Lowest cost Model Y was dropped in US because it didn’t qualify for $7500 rebate so it was effectively more expensive than the current one. So the cheapest Tesla Y is actually a price reduction as well as a range increased. No brainer.

    I’m an avid ‘Electrifier’ so please keep up the good work (always make time for Ginny 😍). The latest Whatcar least reliable car results came out a week or two ago and amongst the worst are MG & Vauxhall EVs. Have you at Electrifying thought of doing your own survey of EV owners and publishing the results? Maybe you can add a reliability rating to your reviews and used car sales page? Peace and love! 🖖
