It’s no coincidence that executive cars are among the first successful mass market EVs. Well-off folks love their four door yachts on wheels and definitely can cover the initial added costs of battery electric vehicles. The upcoming model year will mark the tenth anniversary since the original EV in this class Tesla Model S saw the world, so in this episode we will report on the progress made within the last decade by showcasing the newest flagship EVs manufactured by the major car brands.

Geely looks tasty!
Lucid Air and Polestar for the win
Polestar Precept ✔️🏁 2023 price tba
That geely design is a beast
junk
Great presentation, however it's missing something, unless your target audience is computers, or students being tested for note-taking skills.
I believe presentations like this should include a summary table with narration providing key information of properties and specs to provide context and comparison.
Geely! 🤩👍😎
The Xpeng and the BYD Front remind me of the newest Peugeot 508 sedan
That EQS had so much potential but the exterior is so ugly
I liked the last one the best
Ffs….Just give me an elec Corolla ..and I’ll be happy.
Its great that new EVs are joining the market. But many of these mentioned here still have developmental problems so consumers still stick to tried and tested Tesla until otherwise their issues are resolved.
The main hindrance is the price. Economy of scales will make them affordable soon.
Cant wait for an increase in EVs so we can afford even a used EV still in good condition.
genuinely, Tesla need to fix their design. i don’t think they make a single car that looks good, besides the new gen roadster, but they still haven’t revealed that. if they wanna keep the massive advantage they have over ever other manufacturer, make your cars desirable to look at, the proportions are all off and they look too plain. the model s looks fine, but the back is boring and too high.
Get rid of the computer voice.
they are r expensive
Geeky Starburst. Best look
În 10 15 years maybe ill afford one with some loose batterys…..
please start the hydrogen vids, we need to know what is going on
China's *killing it, on price points *& specs.
What do you mean about TBD &EST in your video.?
China is the best 🥰
Until the prices come down it’s the used market for me.
My choice is: CHANGE Han or NIO ET7 but the most beautiful in my opinion, both interior and exterior is TESLA MODEL S from 2014 to the year 2021 "not the newest!"
It's "revenge of the electric car nerds" . Hi Po electrics still can't even come close to a Hi- Po nitrous Mustang , or even a Honda civic SOHC 1.6 turbo (???). (Watch the video) I would like a cheap simple electric car for a around town car…But these are ridiculous. There's barely enough electricity now even to run all the AC units.. Go figure.
