      The majority yes, and you can toggle on/off All and public. I’ve never had issue in UK or Europe finding the incorrect one. ​@@ricco123tube

    That was fun, thank you.

    None of the cars you awarded are ones I would want to own, but I can see why they are good. Perhaps the Alfa Romeo Junior, and especially Veloce, might have had a mention.

    All good winners agree with them all, barring the fact I hate the look of the EV3, it’s ugly to me, but still a decent car.

    Could we not include cars that you can’t actually buy? The R5 doesn’t even have a list price!

    Hello team from Italy, really like your work and that’s kind of refreshing given that here the big names in car journalism make interactions trashing EVs and playing the victim card.

    Anyway.
    You convinced me to go to the motor show and I did, being very impressed! Especially by the Renault group stuff.
    I will try for sure the R5 when available. The ccs big battery one is like 32k€ but hey, still better than the competition it seems…

    After the Renault stand I went to the Kia stand with the EV3 and to be honest I was underwelmed. Great exterior looks, great specs, great space but the interior was light gray hard plastics.
    Bad looking, a bit shiny and with a significant reflection on the windscreen. I mean I would have to check it on the road and not below the lights but yeah… that seemed bad.
    So my COTY is the R5 for sure.

    Used car of the year and best charging network should be Tesla with the model 3. My daughter ordered an Kia EV3 Air long range only yesterday.

      That’s what I thought. About 30K Tesla model 3 are going out of the Lease in the Netherlands….

    Absolutely agree with your car manufacturer of the Year award. We have two Hyundai EVs; a Project 45 IONIQ 5 and a Hyundai Kona. Both excellent cars, and the IONIQ 5 is shortly to be replaced by…..a 2025 IONIQ 5 Ultimate, with the bigger battery, and a rear wiper. Go Hyundai. Great choice. Love the show and keep up the good work of keeping accurate EV news out there. Chris D

    Charger of the year is quite interesting. Where we are the only instavolt chargers are at Costa and Mcdonalds and they are very very expensive.
    I’ve been doing a few longer journeys northward and to be honest, the go to chargers on the A1, M1, M6 etc are gridserve. They are usually quite a few chargers at each station and positioned near services.

    One of the questions about instavolt where they are at Costa or Mcdonalds, is what are the rules about parking and times? It’s really confusing and there are so many stories about people getting fines, even when they have eaten in the restaurant?

    Nice video again.😊

    Good choices all. The EV3 reminds me so much of my i3. The stance, and most views are strongly reminiscent of it. And to think the i3 was regarded as weird 10 years ago.

    I’d have put the Renault Scenic in there, there are good deals out there.
    Its my top of the list at the moment, saving for a deposit….
    We’re at the point now where the overall costs of a petrol hybrid to an EV are in favour of the EV, if you mostly charge at home.
    Can’t believe a Kilowatt Half Hour lasted half an hour!

    Electrifying: PLEASE can you do a round up of all manufacturers to see what their policy is regarding main dealer service intervals and cost, to keep the warranty?

    I went to the Kia EV3 and Insta launch. Insta great little small ev. The Kia (unless the market changes) will be my next EV to replace the current Kona Ev. Great decision on your car of the year. I think future decisions will need to be based on buttons and rear wiper!!

    Kia have been absolutely smashing it in recent years. I knew when I saw the finished version of the EV3, that was going to be my e-Niro’s replacement. So I just went ahead and ordered a GT Line S right after the order books opened up. Been told by my dealer it will be here mid November.

    Yeahhh our weekly favorite EV half hour show, the K.H.H. Thanks all.
    We were at the Mercedes dealer today, and saw the DONGFENG Box. . . . .
    That was a pleasant surprise in the flesh. Maybe have a look at that one?
    A lot standard features, decent range, and in the Netherlands only €23.799
    Even cheaper than the ë-C3 standard version and better spect than the ë-C3 MAX.
