It just comes with Toyota’s model of, “slight tweaks, nothing revolutionary,” approach. Even their new turbo hybrid systems have been used in different applications for years (ex. Lexus LC500h twin turbo hybrid system used in current Toyota Tundra).

On my 3rd EV, starting with a 2013 Focus EV traded on a 2020 Bolt EV, both to small! Never paid over $30K now by ignoring the crazies I have a 2024 Blazer RS AWD that is awesome! At least 300 miles range as tested by experts on youtube, huge inside and smooth ride! Love this car! Only financed $30K with the Bolt trade in!

The reason it didn't make this list is, that for everything the Nissan Leaf Isn't, it IS reliable! The big problem with the Leaf, (at least, the older ones) is the CHAdeMO charge port. It's difficult to find DC fast charging for the Leaf. If you charge exclusively at home, it doesn't matter what charge port you have, because all EVSE cables plug into standard household outlets. Replacement batteries for the Nissan Leaf is now open sourced, making replacements easier to come by, and, less expensive.

The Model Y RWD is one of the EV values right now. With the tax credit it sells for the price it should have always sold for. The features and driving systems, along with its cargo space make a lot of the current competitors irrelevant.

He's mostly right when you look at these vehicle for purchase at MSRP however, some of this comes down to value for money. The Mercedes EVs are actually quite nice and some have good specs, they just aren't worth the full price for what you are getting especially when you look at depreciation. There are also some good lease deals out there where you can have an EV from anywhere like 18 months to 3 years. The Blazer would have been a bad purchase when it came out, but now after the stop sale and the lower price it might be okay. If it turns out that they fixed the problems, it could be a very nice car. Seems like most people came here to have their preconceptions validated, that's fine, I do that sometimes as well, but I think a lot of these vehicles are worth a look at a certain price. The loss in resale value of EVs seems to primarily be seen as a negative, but the silver lining goes to those who are willing to buy one that is a year or two old.

Can you review BYD and SU7 from Xiaomi. Please can you get hold of them

The Blazer sure looks good. Too bad the reliability doesn't seem to match the looks.

I disagree with the negative opinions about the Chrysler Pacifica. The issues primarily affect the 2017-2019 models, but models beyond that, including my 2023 Pacifica, have been problem-free. I've owned my 2023 Pacifica for almost a year and a half, driving it for 32,000 miles without any issues(25,000 on EV mode). It has saved us thousands of dollars on gas, offers plenty of space, and is a very comfortable car

I'm waiting to hear more about the up and coming Chevrolet Equinox EV, which IS supposed to be the all-wheel-drive replacement for the Bolt.

I agree with most of this. I'm not sure Lucid should be lumped in with VinFast or Fisker. Their reliability needs to improve, but their actual sole offering at this point is otherwise brilliant. As for the Blazer EV, the initial launch was disastrous, but of all the EVs I've driven recently, it's the one that stands out, and actually feels like a screaming deal in base 2LT eAWD form. The content and drive were very impressive, but I'm waiting a year for reliability data and the NACS charge port.

My last 2 cars were fuel injected, my first 3 had carbies datsun 200b all 3, guess which cars I enjoyed owning, were cheaper to keep on the road. The shit boxes I could work on by myself. The other 2 were better for city driving but that was about it and that was because the air conditioning didn't mean my top speed was 50km/ hour and my fuel consumption doubled.

1 month owning EV and 2500km on Blazer EV, I do not have any complain about it. Except the Mobile app which is common to all GM cars

I agree with you about most of these cars. Mercedes and BMW either don't get it or don't care, either of which is surprising for such landmark nameplates who pride themselves on innovation and are not cheap to say the least. The Blazer and Cadillac Lyriq are built on the same platform and GM has a somewhat unique approach to EVs which will either be hugely successful or bankrupt the company altogether in the long term. I am betting on the former. I don't know what happened with the Blazer but GM is determined and did halt production in order to avoid massive recalls. Volkswagen by contrast had a terrible launch of ID4 but went forward full steam anyway so the buyers of the early cars really got stuck with a terrible product, which has only recently improved. The other models are from manufacturers I would avoid altogether.

Both the E-tron and the I-pace are among the lowest in energy efficiency among other EV's. The BMW isn't much better.

In this day and age, I would buy a Toyota hybrid over anything else (other hybrids and all EVs). EV depreciation factor is just too high, overall ownership cost outweights the money you save on fuel, even you keep it 5-6 yrs while the battery is still under warranty. If you have business tax credit towards your ride, I would also say Model Y&3 if the insurance cost is not crazy: nearly sports car performance and cheaper than the ICE sports cars. That is why there are so many of them on the road.

I wonder how fuel consumption (MPG) data for hybrids is measured. I used to know one woman who had a Honday Pilot hybrid. She complained that on a highway her hybrid car had lower fuel efficiency than a regular Honda Pllot. MPG of a hybrid can't be better than of a regular gas model with the same gas engine that goes on a highway without breaking, because the idea of a hybrid is to recover part of energy during breaking. That is Physics 101. If that is true, then most MPG data for large hybrids is false.

The mpg advantage of hybrids is in stop-go city traffic. Rather than heating the brakes, energy from stopping at a red light is stored in the battery to be used when the car starts out again. Since there's little stop-go driving on a highway that savings goes away. The mpg may even be worse due to the need to haul those batteries around. Driven carefully, limiting braking and rapid accelerations, and an ICE can get mileage not that different from a hybrid. That is why my 2000 Toyota Echo gets 42 mpg around town, not that much less than a hybrid Prius.

I thought the majority owner of is the Sovereign Fund of Saudi Arabia. I doubt they will go bankrupt. Fisker, on the other hand, will be bankrupt very soon.

You forgot to mention The Honda Prologue that basically is exactly Chevy EV Blazer

I have to disagree with the assessment on the Blazer EV and Model X. The Blazer had a horrible launch because GM rushed it out the door much like Fisker with poor hardware/software union tuning. With updated firmware and software updates most of the problems were resolved. I have never owned a GM vehicle but I do find the Blazer looks and rides very well. If you're a GM buyer it will probably be much more reliable at the 10 year mark than any Acadia/Traverse ICE that they currently sell. Sure it's going to lose a lot in depreciation but it will still start every day unlike the ICE counterparts. Same with the Model X. I've had one for 6 years and other than 2 sets of tires, the brake fluid flush and wiper blades it hasn't had a lick of repair maintenance. I am luckier than some with those Falcon doors but there's no better highway cruiser on the market with that much space that moves so economically. It has a high up front cost but the significantly lower chance of rollover compared to minivans/SUVs made the decision for me to switch off my Honda Odyssey. The Kia EV9 is a good budget option but will probably have more mechanical issues. The Rivian R1S is a better off-roader but again has more mechanical issues. Unless you're taking more than 2 long haul trips a week with a large family I would easily choose a Blazer EV or Model X over similar ICE counterparts for safety and long term reliability.

BS. A Korean (PHEV) clunker cannot even come close to the champion Toyota Prius (Prime). The battery is covered by a very solid warranty (8-10 years, depending on checking it annually or not) at Toyota. Replacing it would mean that it is out of the warranty period or it was involved in an accident w/o insurance or it has too many miles on it etc. Also, 16k seems like the price for a small BEV battery, not for a PHEV one. But, yes, it is true that this same vlogger uncovered real cases of electric Korean cars' owners being ripped off in Canada with battery prices of above 50k!!! I don't even have a Toyota (I drive a few other Japanese segment champion cars), but I managed fleets of hundreds of cars, including Korean, European, American or Japanese cars, so I have enough know how on all of them, mostly in line with the statistics from Consumer Reports, I See Cars, yourmechanic.com etc. It seems you are just a Korean fanboi, trolling the best Japanese car producers.

For Prius hybrid the TCO is known already and it is amazing (thus the taxi fleets' owners choice), but we don't have yet the TCO for the PHEV. What we already have is that the #1 car producer (Toyota/Lexus) is far above the Kia/Hyundai/Genesis conglomerate (despite being helped a lot by the South Korean government, like Samsung and others) in both reliability and low TCO. Thus nobody can argue that the Koreans are better than the Japanese top producers according to hard data/statistics.

PRO TIP: DO YOUR RESEARCH AND BUY WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU, NOT WHAT SOMEONE ONLINE WANTS YOU TO DO.

Pro tip: standard hybrids have been around for almost 20 years. The technology is mature and effective. If you have any qualms, stick with hybrids from Toyota, Honda, and Ford, maybe from Kia/Hyundai.

not an expert reviewer, you don't go into technical details or present any data. all I heard is basically "really bad" and "not really good" which are really good opinion. good effort though.

As usual your video is terribly biased. The best advice for anyone considering an EV: Stay away from anything from Japan. First of all they are made in China, second they do not perform anyway near their claims. On top they are not better protected against rust than their fossile vehicles. HEV´s and PHEV´s are for city driving only. Outside cities they are costly and stupid vehicles regardless of make. No one really can make any claims about chinese EV´s yet, as they just came about. So no one really knows. Until somebody do, I would stay away from them, incl. Japanese/Chinese disasters. IMO the only ones doing serious business into EV´s are Tesla, VW, BMW and MB. Tesla is the leading star, regardless of all the crap told about them. They use aluminium throughout the chassis, and very well thought out electric technology. Don´t underestimate Tesla. VW has as well as Tesla created a very efficient platform, taken into business by i.e. Ford, who will stop producing ICE in Europe only in 2026, replacing everything with VW EV platforms, which are performing very well. Renault/Nissan is also very competitive, and they are using Google Automotive, which is Andoid on wheels, and is absolute spiffing, leaving the rest of the ricecookers behind. Toyota claims every now and then, that they are almost ready with 800 miles battery capacity, charged from 20 to 80 in 10 minutes. Don´t beleive that crap, Toyota blew their chance long time ago, and the japanese legend of smooth and reliable mechanics was lost with EV´s, needing nothing from the past. Just my five cents

Yeah.....sorry but most of your statement doesn't reflect the reality

Battery driven cars will not work. The overall engineering is so poor it is not a feasible technology.
