And on several videos I have seen such as from What Car that public charging is now more expensive per mile than using petrol or diesel.

Let's define "decent range". For most people most of the time they will never need more than 50 miles of range on any given day. For most people long trips will consist of no more than 150 miles of driving during which time they will stop at least once anyway. So their car would not need 150 miles of range to be practical. Anything above 90 miles would serve all purposes. My 24kwh 2015 Nissan Leaf is now down to 70-85 miles of range and there still isn't anywhere I can't drive. So it would be very rare to find any new EVs that are actually only good for "city driving" on the basis of range. Practical range is almost guaranteed for at least 90% of all potential EV adopters. That will very soon become 100%.

Because for anything less than 80 miles I... well, I almost never need a car in the first place, as it's either in my town, or a single bus journey away (or I can do without it). Oh, and yes, that range is for return journeys, because the charging infrastructure around here still leaves much to be desired. So, as far as I can tell, I need to look out for cars with *claimed* ranges of 250 miles or above to trust them to do 150 miles in the winter 🤷🏻 and that suddenly hasn't been easy to find any more (not at low prices, anyway).

@aussieideasman8498 if you have such an abundance of integrity I expect to hear from you within the next year or two for your apology. Until then I'd recommend to quit with all the ridiculous posturing you will also need to Apologize for.

Aptera?

After the snake oil salesmen saying it's coming in 2009; 2010; 2011; 2021; 2022; 2023; and now 2024, I can see why Jack didn't add it. It's never coming.

I love YOU! Best presentation in a while!😁😂 from Sweden with love!

Glorious stuff Jack. More power to you Sir; m'Polestar bretheren ...

No mention of Aptera? Should also arrive in 2024 ...

Not likely until '25, but if the Fisker Pear got a mention then so should the much more exciting and interesting Aptera.

Jack needs to be top of the list when Top Gear reboots again.

Man the Volvo EX30 will be an absolute game changer ! So much Swedish quality and sensibility for a low price! Also looking forward to hear about the cheap Dacia Spring!

Thanks Jack, very informative like always. Can you do video on vans and commercial EVs coming in 2024

I think the Seagul is the most interesting. EC3 too, but first reveals left me disappointed because of the price to value proposition. I think secondhand Kia's and Hyundai's oddly become more interesting if Kia and Hyundai can improve service. Also interested in Volvo, but from early looks I felt the Vilvo's were too much a compromise for the price, cleverly hidden by heritage and style. I havent had the privellage to own a VW to date. Autogefühl pleasantly recently showed the improved Id2All showroom concept, which put a smile on my face and a serious contender if VW is serious about this model and is willing to be a little more lenient on the amount of screen UI design customizations by third parties, the rear boot V2L actually supporting up to 3,6 Kwh at 220 V and one pedal to full stop driving, adaptive cruise control and excellent lane assist and 300 kilometer guaranteed all season all weather minimum range between 10-85% soc, even at 80% state of health battery is standard at 20000 euro sticker price, would be heaven.

What a fantastically entertaining and informative video, I love it! Thanks Jack! 🤩🤩 I’m intrigued to see whether the Kia EV3 will also replace the eNiro as my lease expires in December this year… 🤔

Fun review! Fabulously written ha ha Thank you

BYD U8... and JAC also have some really cool small EVs and geely with its geometry series

Brilliant way of presenting it!

Rivian R2 isn't scheduled for release in 2024, but I suspect we'll get to see some pre-production versions this year.

Hahaha that AcerMate PC is sitting right next to me, ohh wait my top drive cover is more yellow 🤣

The Milano is not based on the Smart Car platform (from which Stellantis said 8 cars will be made) of the e-C3 but the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e's one. Also e-C3 Aircross (same Smart Car platform) will arrive this year. Dacia Spring will also get a refresh.

Right! He didn’t prepare, and what he said is hurting future Alfa image, as an expensive car, based on cheap platform, not worth a penny.

@@LoviJunior Smart Car is not a cheap platform, simply a new one requiring 40% less labour in factory. This platform and the e-CMP2 one which the Milano will also be based on are both developed by Peugeot.

By cheap platform I meant from car around 20k €, wheras Alfa will be around twice the price. Smart platform uses different battery, what is also cost cutting.

@@LoviJunior Indeed you're right. Smart Car will be for Citroën, Fiat and Opel, maybe Peugeot but not Alfa, Jeep and beyond.

In Australia we've already started to receive deliveries of BYD Seal. We picked ours up on 17th December, and have been absolutely loving it so far. A comment on the BYD Seal U, despite the deliberately confusing name it actually has very little in common with the Seal. It's not just the body that is different, it's the platform too. The Seal is built on a dedicated BEV platform, while the Seal U is based on a mixed energy platform. In fact in Australia we're only going to get the plug in hybrid version of the Seal U. So, it's not only uglier than the Seal but it's also a step backwards technology-wise, too.

I my opinion the BYD Sea Lion is much more interesting that the Seal U if you really want an SUV, but that's probably not going to make an appearance outside of China until 2025. In 2024 we are supposedly going to get a BYD ute in Australia, but again that'll be a mixed energy platform and probably only sold here as a PHEV.

Wow that is super weird. Appreciate the insight!

Looking forward to having some large estates on the EV market. Love to see the A6 review. There are just too many SUVs which don’t cut it like the estate car.

Great review, Jack! Keep it up

The Renault 5 and similar! Please can you start commenting on the widths as parking and actually getting in and out is getting more and more tricky

Nice short look ahead! Liked the retro look, but a small detail... Pc and monitor weren't turned on... 😅
