Fantastic review again, thank you. I love the way you always detail the room in the back seats. I wish manufacturers would make the sliding rail on the second row go all the way back. If there's rarely anyone in the back it would be nice to push the seats back even further for more legroom. Maybe they're worried about law suits from people getting legs crushed by accident, lol.

Well they like Tesla had to go through production hell and also transition from an ICE production to completely different EV. I ordered my EV6 AWD in September 2021 and got it in May 2022. Never in 54 years got my mainly German ‚premium‘ faster than that. But there are also ready configured cars around so customers should look for what they really need or take a car with all in and pay some dollars more. In Switzerland there are even importers that have cars in stock but might be you have not your favorite color etc. Take your time and you do not need two years😜😎🇨🇭

In the era of electric vehicles, their true strength is E-GMP, a platform dedicated to electric vehicles, such as motor system battery thermal management, which is a result of long research.The principle of the v2l function is simple, but there are not many electric vehicles equipped with this function yet. When charging and changing temperature in a car, voltage and current are different due to various charging systems, which can cause minute damage to the car.

*We just did a 1400 miles trip and in a gas vehicle and it took us 22.5 hours to get there (plus nap and stretch (which it wasn't much)). I cannot imagine how much would it take us in a EV vehicle to get to our destination WITHOUT taking into concideration the low infrastructure that EV chargers have so far. And gas wasn't that expensive outside Illinois, the trip was around $170 US one way.* This is a nice looking vehicle, but I will never go EV because of these and other issues as well. This is going backwards to us. Hopefully Kia make an almost exact version of this vehicle in gasoline.

[@zoltrix7779]

That's nice, no one cares.

@@zoltrix7779 Everyone planing trips SHOULD care, because the waiting time to charge an EV would be 7 hrs in type 2 and if you are lucky enough to get a type 3 charger, you will be waiting around 30 minutes which is very significant knowing EV don't have good mile range.

[@baronvonjo1929]

I think automakers are increasingly struggling to justify cheap cars these days. They are all planning years in advance and getting tons and tons of debt. So many of them are attempting to go up market like Mazda and VW. Here in the US some brands are only producing the highest trim level models. I wouldn't be suprised of the transition to EVs kills one legacy automaker. I have seen some brands actually lose money on ebery EV and need ICE cars to fund it all. So a cheaper EV will hurt them even more. But thats just what I have seen on a random article. I'm glad I'm not the ones in charge of these companies.

Electric cars are Not the problem it’s the Infer structure is bad also the time to recharge .

[@richardbartlett6932]

When they built the first motor car was the road network in place or was it built for horses until cars over? Vehicles and roads etc leapfrog each other since day one, so why would you expect the charging network to be fully completed before they produce the cars. Demand drives supply. Secondly battery tech and charging is really still in it's infancy. However the amount of money being poured in to R&D today means the rate of development for EV and battery tech is far beyond what ICE ever progressed to in the last 120 years. In 10 years time everyone will be thinking "why didn't we do this sooner?"

It’s why All are waiting for Tesla to open up its charges on mass. Once that happens then things for the EV buyer will improve .
