The former Chevrolet Volt (discontinued in 2019) has an 18.4 kWhr liquid-cooled battery that manages 50 to 60 miles of EV range. When the battery is depleted, the vehicle seamlessly switches over into hybrid mode averaging around 45 mpg with its 1.5 liter engine. My wife's 2018 Volt needs regular gasoline about once every three months and she is averaging over 200 mpg with her daily 50 mile commute. No range anxiety at all with this vehicle and performance (0-60 mph in under 8 seconds) that would embarrass any of these "futuristic" mini-EV's. BTW, the thermal management of the Volt's battery is amazing with no loss of range in almost 4 years of useage.
Wow. That is fantastic! Thanks for the info on the Chevy Volt. It is a bummer that they discontinued it, but Chevy has a lot of EV aspirations for the future. We do have full-sized EV reviews on our channel if you ever want to check them out. All the best.
Got a 2012 Volt for 9 Years. it was a good car. AHowever, you will lose range and comparing a Volt with this lightweight non-cars makes no sense at all. Now owning a Tesla Model S and ordered a Fiat Topolino (Citroen Ami) as second “car”.
Its cool to see some big names in the automobile industry alongside smaller companies/startups. It will be interesting to see if the little guys can compete if this market grows.
Remember the narrator the disclosed that car manufactures sidestep automobile regulations by creating a class similar to scooters, bicycles or public transport vehicles. So safety is not a big issue or selling point.

Not only too expensive BUT as Trump said what happens when they turn off the electricity..?? and he said the govt doesn't want you driving around too far from home.. thirdly.. the automobile companies were confronted with a govt committee asking WHERE DO YOU Think YOU ARE GOING TO GET ALL THIS ELECTRICITY NEEDED IN THE FUTURE..FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRIC CARS????????.

My VW e-Up has a 90 mile range, no frills, bells or whistles and didn't cost me a fortune second hand, albeit it was one of the first small production EV's to have regenerative breaking. None of these cars on this list would temp me to change at the moment, the VW e-UP is simply great!
Don't forget the SOLO by Electra Meccanica! Great little EV. One-seater as name implies. 100mi range. 80mph top speed. 0-60 in about 10 seconds. Looks great.....not as nice as the Uniti but overall it's pretty good.
06:50 UNITY ONE ... extremely interesting seating and space system. 3 seats or excellent loading capacity. The 2 back seats are practically located aboce the rear wheels. And when laid flat, you can even transport long, narrow items using the space aside of the driver's seat.
What they need to do is make pods with wheels that are more inboard, and the vehicles being able to magnetically attach to each other so they can move together as a sort of divided train. That would improve safety and energy expenditure....create a road train for instance. But most of all, there would be huge space savings if the pods didn't need spacing gaps and reaction time to slow down. You could have a 2-across train and each pod could separate when it reached its destination (and so could drive down a center lane on a 3-lane one-way street in big cities)
When you look at the speed the range and the cost, the Chinese production vehicle is selling like hot cakes for good reason.i would buy one tomorrow if available in the UK!!
I hear ya. The dream of owning an EV can feel a bit like waiting for the next big tech drop - you're all hyped up, but then you see the price tag and it's like, "Oof, maybe next year." But hey, don't lose heart! The EV world is shifting quicker than a dual-motor Tesla in ludicrous mode.
I love the idea of a city runabout! Perfect for commuting and urban living. I would need to know about heating and air conditioning as well as heated seats for it to be really viable as a vehicle for me. Also the comfort level sitting in it, ease of getting in and out, and the number of cup holders.
Thanks for the reaction to my comment, I`d like to ask if the cars can get rubber (as bumpers cars) protection around the car where normally we have car crash could be awesome and save because are small cars and kind of bike with a plastic cover

Cool channel guys, just found you. I've always wondered why someone couldn't produce a stylish affordable EV ? These are great, one more thing that would make them better is a 40-50% better performance and battery size.
I want a small EVs but big on being compact, economical, still has space for some cargo, can handle any type of climate and although not the fastest but is tsking safety seriously. And if it can be resonably price, sign me on.

I am a happy owner of the Nb1 in your list. It is a smart fortwo ED. I love it. I really love its power at 60kW and its small size to park anywhere in town. If I change for something else, I will definitely exclude any vehicle options with less than 60kW of power. And I will give priority to 90kW+ options. EV car makers should also give us decent wheels and tyres for Electric propulsion. I am shopping around for the best tyres for my smart ED. Because the original tyres do not have good enough grip for the vehicle.
Those are cute cars and affordable but here in the US they need to be little bigger and faster especially when driving here on highway and turnpike speed limit is 65 .
Maybe not possible in the US to the same extent, but in Europe, I've set my GPS for shortest route as there most places are plenty country roads, I usually drive 10-15% shorter and though I drive slower and need to stop at lights, with no traffic it takes only 25% longer. If the highway is busy, I beat the clock easily. Nice thing is that I can average 100Wh/km, less than half of what a Tesla uses on the highway. I did a test with a friend that just got a model 3: He used 25kWh to drive 122 km on the highway going 130+ km/h or 80+ mph. Me on the back roads used 9.5 KWh and travelled only 107 km. I did arrive half an hour later, but just a single holdup on the highway and we would have arrived together. I paid $3.67 to get there he spent $9.62. which is more than it would cost in gasoline had he not had a flatrate subscription. Yes charging is expensive in Europe.
I've got a 2020 Smart EQ. Most underrated EV out there right now. Looks great, all the modern features of a hatchback in a tiny car and 90 miles of town range for £16k, and in town you get more like 220eMPG.
heyhey i have the twizy but spoke with an smart owner @ charging station. he had the new four for but sadly the smart only charges with 1 phase... 3.7 kw. for this price this is bad compared to a dacia spring electrik. the dacia costs only 12k has 200 km range 30kw ccs fastcharge and an 6.7 kw onboardcharger. Even my twizy is a fastcharger compared to the smart for that amount of money i would never buy a smart
I don't believe manufacturers will be rushing to produce this type of product in the near future. They are all pushing higher up market cars that turn bigger profits. Just take a look around and see how they've all mostly abandoned the small city type car.
I would love to know why so many designers think that a responsible and useful vehicle has to look like an escapee from a Noddy cartoon, and/or F'ing horrible. Make something that people actual want to own, and they might buy it. Witness: Tesla. And speaking of that company: I live in Australia, not Europe. The nearest neighbouring city to me is a 5 Hour drive away at 110Km/h. All these options that offer an astonishing 60Km range followed by 2 hours of charging are completely and utterly useless over here. If thes things want to be treated like a mature industry, they'd better do some growing up.
Yes thats a fact ,so many want to eksept that the car manufacture make something like that .Why put bicycle wheels on a car ,isn't that dangerous ... I found something that is in the same category ,but all I get is the thumbs up and it is not in the video above .Made by the frame maker of Lamborghini ,Ferrari and Bugatti .NR 1: safety NR 2 design NR 3 battery range
Yeah. These are ugly as sin and pretty useless in suburban Texas because of their paltry range. Also, out here if you can afford to live in a densely packed urban area you can afford an actual car or motorcycle.
If EVs are really about lowering emissions, these types of vehicles would be what it would naturally come to. If we are going to make electric cars, making them several hundred HP multiple ton cars is not exactly the best option. In a "dream world" (depends on who you ask) you would use small EVs for urban areas or local transport and long distances would be public transport (I know, even in the middle of europe there are many places without public transport). Also one might have to mention that all EVs in the world are useless if they are charged by fossil fuel power plants, you are basically just moving the emission to another place to make yourself feel better, losing efficiency on the way. I think battery technology needs to be greatly improved before a complete change to renewable energies and electric cars can be made, but over here in Germany they seem to be so focused on rushing the change that they don't really seem to have a plan on how to do it.
I’m sorry you left out Aptera up to 1000 mile range. With up to 750 watts solar charging that may almost never need plugged in for short commutes. Not one of these EV’s compare not to mention cheaper then many of these EV’s.
This video is NOT about currently available EV’s and your link completely skips my hole point. Screw that not subscribing without honestly reporting EV’s
I wonder what happened to the concept EV that I saw about 9 years ago. Its top speed at that time was only 30 mph, but it also had the ability to become a road train by connecting to other vehicles of its kind. By becoming a road train it could reach highway speeds and save on battery life.
This audi urban mini ev should have went into production. The corporation would had a lot of investments and a lot of people wanting to purchase this vehicle.
what happens if the cart takes someone in the wrong way and there are injuries or deaths. My GPS is so dumb it asks me to go through places I can't go. That Navigation for the AI better be on point.
The Twizi, if it is safe and comes to Australia, I would love one to get to and from work, but where do the dogs go ? The Eli Zero is another I could buy and use. The Audi looks great, but no luggage space and will cost a bomb the Honda, good little unit, I am up for that as well The Smart is good and I would buy one for a decent price.
One thing that sickens me is the fact that small companies with people of vision developed these cars, and now the big manufacturers are putting out small channels like this as veiled advertising. These large companies put nothing into the development of mini vehicles and should not be allowed to just take over. People it is time to remember the smaller manufacturers that put their hearts and souls into developing less polluting ways of transportation and remember to buy from them. Don't just drop by a large car lot and purchase from a brand name that risked nothing, but just sat there waiting to see of there was enough of a market to come in and take over. Lets be loyal to the smaller manufacturer that started this instead of rewarding opportunists who would never have helped the environment themselves, but now there is a buck here they are. Lets reward these often local visionaries by buying your new electric car or truck from them instead. ✌🙂❤😎

My favourite is Uniti from Sweden 🇸🇪 but I would also like to see Microbilo from Switzerland 🇨🇭
The Uniti One Mini EV, ftw!
I would give a like, but the static sound effect on letter change is so annoying
Haha. Understood. We fired our video editor for that one.
Definatey would love to see the audi in production
When it will be launched in Indian markets
not sure
This audi urban mini ev should have went into production. The corporation would had a lot of investments and a lot of people wanting to purchase this vehicle.
Good point.
Good
what happens if the cart takes someone in the wrong way and there are injuries or deaths. My GPS is so dumb it asks me to go through places I can't go. That Navigation for the AI better be on point.
Good point.
Can you buy the Wuling mini EV in Belgium?
Hmmm... great question. I don't believe yet.
The woorest is Twizy and Ami...the prices of these cars in France it's triple with the same price you can buy BMW
Thanks for sharing.
the sound effect on this video is terrible - otherwise great video!
Thanks! And sorry about the sound effect.
Great and informative video, but HOLY CRAP the little stinger used every time a stat comes up as a caption is incredibly annoying...
Haha. Sorry about that and thanks for the feedback. We won't use that sound in the future.
Is the Nils for sale in America at Volkswagon dealerships...
It is a concept vehicle of theirs (for now).
Excelente 🌈♥️
:)
The Twizi, if it is safe and comes to Australia, I would love one to get to and from work, but where do the dogs go ?
The Eli Zero is another I could buy and use.
The Audi looks great, but no luggage space and will cost a bomb
the Honda, good little unit, I am up for that as well
The Smart is good and I would buy one for a decent price.
The Smart EQ and Honda Neu-V would probably be best for those with dogs.
Golf carts with style ! LOL
golf carts are the OGs of electric vehicles.
Please use also WORLD WIDE STANDARD Metric Systems for rest of the World! Thank for understanding. Nice greetings from EUROPA 🤗
Thanks for the feedback. This is a familiar debate. We try to do both Imperial and Metric where possible.
The audi urban looks like what I would design for a ev, just makes sense to me.
Agreed. I wish they'd go to production with the Audi Urban.
My favorite is the Unity One but I doubt that it will ever make it’s way to North America
Who knows, it is one of the better performers on the highway.
RIP Unity.
Cuando llegan a Colombia. Precios? Gracias.
Todos los precios disponibles se mencionaron en el video. No se sabe nada sobre la disponibilidad de Columbia.
i like nils... but if it was for 2 people sitting like in fighter jet cockpit i would like it even more.
That would be awesome.
Why not build microcars for crowded metropolitan areas with emphasis to max 20-30 miles of max speed but longer range and easier charging?
Good point. Maybe these mini EV manufacturers will get on this.
One thing that sickens me is the fact that small companies with people of vision developed these cars, and now the big manufacturers are putting out small channels like this as veiled advertising. These large companies put nothing into the development of mini vehicles and should not be allowed to just take over. People it is time to remember the smaller manufacturers that put their hearts and souls into developing less polluting ways of transportation and remember to buy from them. Don't just drop by a large car lot and purchase from a brand name that risked nothing, but just sat there waiting to see of there was enough of a market to come in and take over. Lets be loyal to the smaller manufacturer that started this instead of rewarding opportunists who would never have helped the environment themselves, but now there is a buck here they are. Lets reward these often local visionaries by buying your new electric car or truck from them instead. ✌🙂❤😎
Agreed. Please buy local and from small manufacturers wherever possible. The dollars/euros/yen circulate within your community a lot more.
Yes on the urban audi as long it comes with a hard version
I believe it does.
Hmm! Thinking Now Tazzari Zero ,Wuling, Zacua,Or New Renault z or just Bikecar
The Wuling and Tazzari are great.
Wuling MiniEV is the best electric car
That is one of the best for sure. The Citreon Ami also has great potential.
May dream car
How can I perches this vehicle? Is there an agent in Sri Lanka?
Not sure. Sorry I can't help with that :/
The SMArt EQ is known in the United Kingdom as the SMArt #1.
Thanks for the heads up
I think you need to review you description of the Uniti’s photo chromatic roof…
Thanks for the tip. Will do!
I like all of them. I don't like the internal combustion engine anymore.
Woot woot. Yep. Same here.
