Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:The 2016 iMiev is the least expensive electric car. After factoring in the tax credit, the car starts at $23,000.
The car is powered by a 49-kilowatt electric motor that produces 66 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque.
ChargePoint apps allow the driver to easily find nearby charging stations.
The remote can check battery level, set a charging timer, and control the climate.
The car comes with a 120-volt home charger. Charging speed can be set to 8 amps or 12 amps. For a full charge at 8 amps, it takes 19 to 22 hours. Using the fast setting, or 12 amps, drops the charge time to about 14 hours.
Using a 240-volt charger cuts the charging time down to about 6 or 7 hours.
The interior has a cheap feel with a lot of hard plastics.
The bare-bones interior has unexpected heated seats.
Putting the air conditioner or heater on reduces the car's range by 10 miles.
The car has regenerative braking. The best place for this car is in stop-and-go traffic instead of highway driving.
Whether or not the good outweighs the bad depends on the lifestyle and how the car is driven. If the driver does not tend to drive more than 40 miles a day, this can be a great fit.
