- It's that time of year again folks where we crown the winners, and the losers, of the EV world in the AutoEV Awards 2023. This is our third year of these awards and as always, all the cars we tested in 2023 have come under close scrutiny to be in with a chance of winning the coveted trophy. If you thought Strictly Come Dancing was nail-biting, you've no idea how fraught the PR and Press departments get when we announce our winners.......
AutoEV - all electric, all independent.

If you have between £70k and £125k sitting around then the BMW i5 may be the best but the average driver can’t or won’t pay that for a car.
Absolutely. A great many of us balk at paying over 30 grand, which makes buying any EV a mute point. Perhaps in another decade when prices are reasonable and an electric car might actually carry me further on one charge than my old clapped-out Fiat Punto.
Interesting video, but the reason why ev sales are slowing is the ridiculous price of purchase….the fact we’re discussing a EV saloon that is around £50+ k , is utterly absurd
There will always be £50k+ cars. EV prices are coming down if you know where to look though, and if you can charge at home you will save heaps in running costs.
Need to update some of your chapter markers - they still say "2022".
Thank you for a year full of great reviews :) Based on your reviews last year I'm the proud owner of an Renault Megane E-tech and "I'm lovin' it..." :)
AutoEV is my best EV review UA-cam Channel of the Year!
Great recap! Thoughtful commentary. (Lovin' my Auto EV T-shirt!)
Best wishes to AutoEV for a happy new year, and a good health to all the staff. I had an afterthought concerning the best EV of 2023. I would propose the Polestar 2, with the range of the BMW i4, the charging speed of the Ioniq 5 and the build quality/reliability of a Lexus. What do you think?
Great video and a nice round up of the year. Nice to see the RS e-tron GT getting a plaudit as well, glad you loved it, it’s a compelling grand tourer isn’t it.
Keep up the great work and Happy New Year. All the best for 2024 🎉
Best EV car channel with the best EV car presenter! Keep up the great work!👍
Geely and BYD are putting on the pressure.
Lexus/Toyota has a massive dealership network.
Lexus/Toyota dealerships are threatened by minimal maintenance EVs………..and don’t want a bar of EVs.
The restructuring will be long, painful and with minimal enthusiasm.
Glad to see the mention of sustainability when discussing the innovation award. Please consider just creating a Best Sustainability category in the future, because in the end, that's why EVs even matter, and as you said, we're kind of failing at the brief, as EV sizes and impact are actually growing. In the early years, 24 kWh cars were more sustainable than the 100, 135, and now 212 kWh giant SUVs, trucks, and massive range luxury cars. Had you awarded Sustainability last year or the year before, maybe the Fiat 500e or even the MINI SE could have won with small batteries, light weight, smaller build, and good and very good efficiency respectively.
Polestar deserved a sustainability award in 2020, because they were the first to release an LCA report that admitted that their production emissions (CO2e in tons) is more than double what Argonne Labs GREET model suggested it has. In the intervening years, Volvo, Fisker, and in July BMW i5 have also admitted these dangerously high production emissions. Volvo is going so far as to rate all their vehicles including ICE and trucks. But awarding Polestar for sustainability is perhaps shortsighted, because their choice to build them in China has resulted in significantly higher production emissions, despite their early endeavor to use renewable power at a new sustainable assembly plant. The issue is their suppliers all are way behind on sustainability and low/zero emissions in their part of the chain. It's not fair to point fingers at Chinese production. No one is being transparent and doing their math in a way we can see/compare, though this move by Polestar began to scratch the surface.
2023 was the first year where a government penalized EV models for excessive production emissions when France was seeking a way to block Chinese EV imports. It may have been done for the wrong reasons, but it does shine a spotlight on the problem that you see with Chinese built Tesla Model 3, Polestar 2, Volvo Recharges, and every other manufacturer who ran to China to build EVs only to inflate their emissions creating them with Chinese parts and manufacturing. This is a trick subject, no doubt, and you might not consider yourselves qualified to judge this, but there is every reason to try.
BTW, the BMW i5's estimated production impact from their report is 17 tons CO2e, vs. 23-26 tons CO2e for Polestars and Volvo Recharges, so your car of the year at least managed to reflect one of the few who do expose these production numbers and it's slightly better than Fisker, Volvo, and Polestar so far.

Here is Fisker's which also includes comparisons to Volvo/Polestar:
Just a note, LCA scientists all warn to NEVER compare LCA values across reports, because they are inherently non-standardized due to use of varying boundary conditions, model values, and methodologies used. I say, that subterfuge, even if they don't believe they mean it to be. We need them to standardize this quickly and to subject all cars to the same standards of evaluation, even if it's imperfect.
Dont forget my eBerlingo! Great awards thanks :)
The Jeep Avenger has this very down to earth practicality compared to everyone else trying to be a spaceship. Down to things like a physical button to tell the safety warnings to shut up. Its surprisingly novel. I am definitely more in the Smart #3 camp over the Smart #1 it seems wierdly upright but its clear Mercedes did have a hand in its design. I look forward to you getting your hands on a Smart #3. BYD being significantly cheaper outside Europe probably leads to them being thought of fondly.
Happy New Year.
Спасибо. 🤝🥂
Still loving my BMW i4 :)
Best small family EV, smart #1, you have had your head turned my friend....
Good video, just one thing for me, can you stop sitting or leaning on the cars. I can hear cries from car detailers all over the world. Cheers all the best for the new year.
surprised you didnt have best second hand EV or have the audi etron 55, i have had around 13 EVs over the last 17 years and the etron is really a great car, brilliant charging, practical, good suspension and build quality.
In the EV environment, best second hand would be a great idea indeed.
Good choices.
Great video, I am sure the i5 is a fantastic car, but a 20k premium over the ICE version does not get people into EV space. I am an ev driver of three years, but manufacturers needs to address this point. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.
I find it difficult to consider the Volvo recharge and Polestar 2 until they are built on a true ev platform. Great cars they undoubtedly are but there are too many compromises with the ice chassis for me. Both companies have shown that they can do it with the ex30 (exciting - can’t wait to drive) and the Polestar 3 respectively.
If they’re electric and are good cars, that’s laudable.
Great job guys, thank you. When will you be reviewing the Fisker Ocean in the UK?
👍
Good choice the Smart#1. It will always be better than the Volvo ex30 because it has sliding back seats to create more boot space👍🏻
And it has a speedo directly in the driver’s eye-line
Rev IM Jolly has returned 😂😂
🤣
what about the lotus ?
Haven’t driven it yet, so it doesn’t get included. We only include the cars we fully test.
iPace. Aged , never updated, poor range, expensive, to be discontinued and recalled for catching fire. I wonder what on earth was 4th behind it?
Driven one?
@@tangoadvance8393 Nope. Same as plenty of other overpriced cars with poor range which I also haven't driven
What was your best car to sit on for 2023?
And another BMW , well well well.
guess what, another BMW as a winner.....😮
Often like your reviews, but unforgivable not to have secured an EX30 drive THIS year not NEXT. How many other channels and auto content providers have it as their top or podium and you guys will be judging it a year behind the curve. Come on guys, it may be difficult to secure some of these cars but Volvo are shifting units and you really did need to get that driven and reviewed this year.
We can only drive them if we get asked to attend the launch event. We weren’t, so we couldn’t.
surprised you didnt have tesla for innovation, OTA updates, direct selling, giga casting, 48V electrics over 12v, self driving technology, no servicing requirement, etc,etc,etc
Tesla have to be commended on what they do, undoubtedly, but we felt Polestar’s drive for transparency surrounding manufacturing and reducing their carbon footprint was a more worthy case to be celebrated.
consider cutting your videos times by 50%
increase the kpm (knowledge per minute)
gain audience from viewers who value brevity.
Maybe for some channels. But with Auto EV I like them taking their time. It's enjoyable.
@@SPhoenixGB If you want this channel to stay small and irrelevant,
excessive blathering is the way to do it.
Channels with less than 100K viewers don't last.
They don't make enough $ to justify the effort.
NO way...please
