That’s our aim. So many channels out there are worried about not saying nice things as it impacts them getting cars. We tell the truth and hopefully the cars keep coming our way.
I have seen a comment about "supporting the channel".... Totally happy to do that, as soon as realistic prices are talked about. Mass market affordability is where it needs to be not rich ponce limited run cars! Even, supporting and showing where the nearly new bargains are.?
@DiscoverEV As an enthusiast I have had to patch together The Electric Viking, EVM and Definitely not a Guru. Just to understand EV battery life, the cost of running an EV and where to find an EV that is truly affordable. No one channel has all the real information. Especially, no UK channel that focuses on UK issues. Whilst you can't make a living out of just bringing the facts and I understand a bit of bling is good. I do think that there is room for a channel with the right name, to help people in the UK discover the affordable truth. As channels like The MacMaster are able to fund themselves just by spreading nonsense and rumours.
@@mikadavies660 It's for this reason we set up Discover EV in the first place - check out the website and look at the following sections: Features, Ask Discover EV and Jargon Buster 🙂
the alfa romeo 'VELOCE' is pronounced vel otchi, ....also, when you were in the macan talking horsepower.... the PS is always more than BHP (1BHP =1.014 ish PS), and final edit/constructive criticism (only trying to help, no hate) is 'Alpine' is pronounced 'Alpeen' but apart from that....good job
Sad but true: many of us Brits seem to think everything foreign should be pronounced as though it were French. Hence 'vell-os' for 'vell-o-chay' (here); 'porsh' for 'por-shuh' (almost every car show); and, in far too many Italian restaurants, 'broo-shetta' for 'broo-sketta'. And don't get me started on how even the doctors mangled Clostridium difficile (it should be 'dee-fee-kee-lay', not 'diff-iss-eel'). Still, it's not a bad world if this is the worst problem in it (spoiler: it isn't). Pedants unite! :-)
To an anglophone, the 'pine' of Alpine (not a Sunbeam) will actually sound much more like how the word for that small sharp object is pronounced: pin. An english speaker should not even think about that last "e", to them it remains silent (slight exception: a speaker with a pronounced Provençal accent would terminate the word just as Germans do Porsche, with an "uh" sound for that last e). Thus, the closest approximation for "Alpine", as it would be pronounced in Dieppe (home of Alpine) and by the vast majority of native French speakers, should be read as "Al-pin" by a native English reader, not "Al-peen". Try walking into a hardware store and asking for a ball-pin hammer if you think there is no difference between "pin" and "peen"...
A very direct and informative review. Of all the mainstream EVs coming soon, I'm most looking forward to the Renault 5. To me the Alfa Romeo Junior is just a blinged up Fiat 600/Peugeot 2008/Citroen eC3 with more power.
18:18 I've always hated the way beamers look, because of that silly "grill" design (like they're trying to give the car nostrils) and that one was no better sadly.
Sorry but STARTING an EV at £32,000 and saying "for that money you can't go wrong!" is utter nonsense... That is not AFFORDABLE as a starting price. The Dacia Spring at £14,995 is the real starting price and more manufacturers need to get a model down to that price as a starter.
True, but lots of EV’s now coming between £20k and £30k. That’s the same price as ICE hatches, but agree still too expensive for the majority of buyers.
It's always in July... It will take place from 10th-13th July next year. There's also Goodwood Revival which is worth a visit - this year it's 6-8 September.
It is funny how you refer to the British flag on the R5 as a Fauxpas, but you do pronounce the very, very French brand Alpine as if it was a British mountain sport…😂
I LOVE the idea of the Renault 5. Also that Maserati is like every old model they have ever made. I literally can’t see any difference, in the style. except the terrible colour.
This may be true, but there are people with blended families that need that kind of space, or those that lift share with school runs/clubs and need the space, and also consumer lifestyles have changed since Covid. More people are increasing focus on outdoor activities, travel, and recreational pursuits - all of these factors drive demand for MPVs.
This thing about high end material it total rubbish because on a blind test customer where told a mercedes was a new budget chinese ev with all the nice material as this woman did some said it was copy mercede but the material where a lower quality but fine for price point. As soon as people are told it a less expensive vehicle they start spoutingbthis rubbish . Manufactures have known for years they can use there badges a get away using budget materials where as vauxhall used top quality materials and where critised yet the same vauxhall badged as vw it had amazing high quality. People neec to grow Smart people purchase skoda superb and high spec octavia instead of audi and vw passat. Because they getting value and the quality materials . Stop and think did people notice audi and vw move to hard plastic rear door cards. But upped the prices. Be more open minded the chinese are producing some great cars with great quality interiors
Odd that the electric 272 mph Aspark Owl doesn't get a mention let alone any prescence at a renowned Festival of Speed. Maybe they refuse to put a Union Jack on the roof...or ain't keen to see the fossil-fuelled military-industrial flag-waving Red Arrows fly-over...yawn. Paul G

Great and fantastic video. It feels like I was there myself. The Alfa Romeo is amazingly beautiful to me.
Completely agree 👍 thank you for the comment
Bit surprised you didn't think of the Volvo EX90 among your alternative 7-seaters, although nearly twice the price it is ten times the style of the D9
It's a very good point - we guess it wasn't on our radar has production has been delayed! We can't wait to get behind the wheel though!

well its your countries putting on tariffs on EVs etc making them 3x more expensive

Every july
It is funny how you refer to the British flag on the R5 as a Fauxpas, but you do pronounce the very, very French brand Alpine as if it was a British mountain sport…😂
Ha ha that is very true! Noted for future videos - "Al-peen!"
Alfa Roméo is stelantis or or a big PSA.
Cybersteer???
The UK builds an electric beech buggy 😮 why am i not surprised 🤪🤪🤪
That, and a lot of electric restomods!
The French guy was either pissed or half asleep. Omg I had to speed over that voice
Is the answer the Lotus because it crashed ten yards off the start line?
You'll have to watch and see!
The mg is only in badge and the sculpture of late doesn't seem special

Its such a cool car, but the Alpine, takes it for me.
@@DiscoverEVi can absolutely see why it would. Did you get chance to look inside?
Unfortunately no-one was allowed into it, and of course we asked, but we could see in. It was great, exactly as you would expect.
What a shame. But i can imagine it being pretty epic. Does the range take a knock for performance?
Likely it will. But nothing confirmed yet. It will be worth the sacrifice though 😉
The union jack flag was just for Goodwood
Ah okay - thanks for letting us know!
MG Cyber Steer? Is that a robot cow or something? 😂😂😂
Yes. I was a bit confused what MG Cyber Steer was. Ok. It's Cyberster
Nearly 7k views, under 500 subscribers and hardly any likes. Come on people try help the channel a bit ✌️

Which EV …
I ‘hate’ it’s ’disgusting ‘ ……no messing around here
Am i the only one who find it ironic that "electric avenue" has bp plasterer all over the place?
Yeah the irony is picked up by many of us too. Thanks for the support.
A lot of Chinese brands, Chinese owned brands. Most EV parts and batteries are from China.
They certainly have a hand in the EV market!
Alpine is pronounced Alpeen...😊
Why do we need so much a 7 seaters. For decades the birth figures are going down and there are not many families with 3x children.
Louise has 4 kids, Ben has 3, plus elderly parents who aren’t able to drive. So yes, WE need them. But you are right, the population is reducing.

Chinese car might be great but what supercar poser wants to tell folk he drives a yangwang
I'll take the Alpine A290.
it's pronounced "velochi !"
Noted for next time!
You might want to try pronouncing the names correctly, one thing you right was the colours on the the Maserati were disgusting
Noted for future!
