LUCID is a good quality car.
USA have a great and one of the best E-automotive Fabrics.
No Lyriq ?
Range and fast charging are an ultra important issue. It takes less than 8 minutes (generous) to fill my gas tank. Electric needs a full charge in the same time and over 500 range, 1000 is the optimal number to make me a customer.. I would like to see Ford build an electric sports car. That could have been the Mustang but someone in the company must've had a stroke and named their suv wrong..
Nice eco-friendly cars
In order to buy anything remotely desirable customers will have to spend at least $80K. Will there be enough buyers to make all of these start up automakers successful?
Let invent a truck that in the back rises up with a net around it like a tent to keep mosquitoes out
Can you put the editted subtitles at the top instead? Bc i'm reading CC at the bottom of the video. Thank you
I'm not a fan of electric cars, there are still no cars you can rely on when you go on the road
The Aptera is the most exciting for me – hope it makes it into production asap. Tesla is leading the field. Lucid motors is very promising and has great tech derived from their involvement in Formula E racing. The only losers are ICE vehicles which are obsolete anyway. EV sales are booming whilst ICE sales are plummeting. ICE vehicles will plummet in value as soon as you drive one off the forecourt.
They should make a Tesla minivan
Do commercial vehicles.
did you know that the FISKER Ocean doesn't have a proper front bonnet???
I got money there will be a recall on GMC Hummers
Anything by Fisker is a Fail.
I really find it weird. Electric cars are supposed to be saving
the planet, but they are really expensive to purchase and not many countries
are making efforts to make them more available in their lands!
This will make people reconsider buying them for that price point!
Besides, the over luxurious options aren't really needed in an everyday use car.
This doesn't make sense!
O que falar da picape GMC Hummer, humilhação total numa Troller Pantanal…
The electric car industry is really interesting! And its good to see more manufacturers getting "Tesla-capacity" on their batteries.
TESLA ONLY! The rest of American Electric cars won't make it!
American auto manufacturers are having high hopes for the EV transition and have a handful of new models in the works. Here is the review of the most exciting modern vehicles. Which of these is your favorite?
