Video Summary
Key findings from the electric car review:- The car’s handling is superb; it feels light and nimble.
- The model tested lacks the nice big display seen in previous models, relying on some analog gauges.
- State of charge is difficult to view in percentage; it is more easily seen on the fast charger itself.
- Charge rate info comes from the car's Battery Management System.
- There appears to be a buffer at the top of the charge. Charging to 100% happens quickly and is done at less kW than what it should be able to handle, indicating that the car is not actually filling to 100%.
- The car has conventional key-in ignition, not a more modern push button.
- The lane assist feature does not stay centered; it’s more of a “ping-pong mode” that bounces the car between lane markers.
- At a cruise speed of 94 km/h on average, the range is about 190 km, considering the cold weather and headwind.
- Overall, the car drives well, but lacks features expected in a modern EV.
- This car weighs 1820 kg
