FIRST TIME EV OWNER EXPERIENCE

How does the Telsa Model Y compare to the Kia Niro EV now that I have driven my Niro for over 2 years? In this video I show you a side-by-side comparison as well as my impressions on acceleration, handling, and road noise, among other things. The Tesla Model Y was on my want list when I ordered my Niro EV in 2018, but it was not available at the time, so this video is a great way for me to explore and share what I missed and did not miss. A big thank you to Patrick Beauchamp for letting me use his Model Y to make this video, I really appreciate it. ===== EV-olution Links ===== If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ ======================== CREDITS: - Model 3 footage from Track Day: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-9IhqrFTkc53Dx1HAGzRGw - Ioniq 5 roof footage from EV Brief: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcfMmB4d6kCZ18Enob8TEYg - Subscribe Button by MrNumber112 https://youtu.be/Fps5vWgKdl0 00:00 Intro 00:19 Version of the Y 00:52 Side by side 02:02 Overhangs 02:46 Trunk and storage comparison 05:57 Rear passenger room 06:53 The amazing roof 07:32 Charge port 08:09 Frunk and 12V battery 10:01 The driver seat 11:34 How does it drive? 12:51 Road noise impression 14:12 Acceleration 15:32 Handling 16:41 Did you know? 17:51 What I think of the Y 19:03 Things I don’t like 20:46 Bloopers

If you own an electric vehicle that is not rated to tow* a trailer (see list below), but want to bring some extra stuff on a trip, what can you do? You can add a roof rack and cargo box, but it is a bit more complicated that just sticking it on the roof. There are important things that you should know before you buy, and this video gives you the basic information needed. I hope you like the video and please let me know if you have any questions. ----- PLEASE SEE NOTES BELOW LIST ----- A list of some EVs that are not rated to tow. Towing with one of these vehicles could void your warranty*: - Nissan Leaf - Kia Niro EV - Kia Soul EV - Hyundai Kona Electric - Hyundai Ioniq Electric - Mustang Mach-E - Renault ZOE - VW e-Golf * NOTE: A comment on Facebook reminded me that towing capacity is different depending on the country you are in so verify on your local manufacturer"s Web site, or contact them directly, to confirm if you car is rated for towing or not. +++ NOTE: It seems that I was mixed up in my conversions, at the 2:07 mark the video shows 225 cm = 67 inches when in fact it is 170 cm. Sorry for the mistake and thanks to viewer U H for catching that. The link to the manufacturer is below, and here is the list of parts that I have for my Kia Niro EV (same for all Niro versions): - Thule WingBar Evo 118 - 711200 - Thule Rapid Podium Foot Pack - 460R (locks are extra) - Niro Thule Fitkit - No. 184076 - Thule Pulse M Cargo Box ===== EV-olution Links ===== If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Thule’s sites: https://www.thule.com Where I found my used kit: https://www.kijiji.ca/ ======================== CREDITS: - Subscribe Button by MrNumber112 https://youtu.be/Fps5vWgKdl0 00:00 Intro 00:29 Disclaimer – Not sponsored 00:57 Car roof capacity!? 01:29 Why I chose this brand 01:59 Cargo box choice and why 02:36 Thule Pulse M cargo box & Features 04:22 Modern anchoring system 06:14 How to remove the box 06:48 Blooper alert & Social media 07:46 Roof rack choices and parts 10:19 Rack parts and dismantle 13:00 How to install the rack 14:55 How to install the cargo box 15:24 Where I bought mine & the price 16:05 Analytics what? 17:09 Bloopers

The Hyundai Kona Electric shares a lot of technology with the Kia Niro EV, but it is not exactly the direct cousin. The Hyundai Ioniq Electric is similar to the Niro EV in an important aspect, more than the Kona Electric is. If you want to find out why, as well as find out how the Ioniq compares to the Niro, then you will want to watch this video. Yes, technically the Ioniq is a 5 door hatchback, but the styling of the car is more like a sedan. Thanks to Martialman.45 for pointing that out. ===== EV-olution Links ===== If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Kona Electric vs Niro EV: https://youtu.be/lxxS5dFykm0 Things I hate about my Niro EV: https://youtu.be/l2E7gF0Dx3g Niro EV 2020 vs 2019: https://youtu.be/w32_Uvd5T_Q ======================== CREDITS: - Subscribe Button by MrNumber112 https://youtu.be/Fps5vWgKdl0 00:00 Intro 00:25 Hyundai Ionic Electric not the Kona 01:28 The reason why 02:58 Trunk space! 05:11 Rear seat comparison 06:43 Charge port locations 07:15 Drivetrain comparison 09:58 Driver position interior comparison 13:28 How does the Ioniq drive? 15:19 What I think & Price comparison 16:39 Did you know? 18:02 Bloopers

If you own a car or truck that is a bit older and it does not have a backup camera, this wireless backup camera comes to the rescue. There is no wire going from the camera in the back of the car to the monitor in the front, but how fast does the image appear on the screen? Is it any good at night? Is it really that easy to install since it’s wireless? Find out in this video where I unbox, show things in detail, and review the use in both day and night. ===== EV-olution Links ===== If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Detailed installation video of this camera: https://youtu.be/c7A1pNa083k *****IMPORTANT MESSAGE***** I just found out, the night before this video goes live, that the Amazon US link will only work for people in the US and everybody else will see it as "inventory unavailable". This means that the discounted price is not available for anyone outside of the US and you are forced to buy from the manufacturer's Web site at the full price of 103.99$ US. THE PRODUCT IS NOT WORTH 104$ US. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT THIS PRICE.

They are also offering a 50% discount code that would have made the product very interesting for the price. I apologize and wish I had known before hand. I am in Canada and it is completely stupid that I am unable to buy the product at the same price as someone in the US. This is an unfair policy from the manufacturer and I will make a very short follow up video shortly. ======================== CREDITS: Subscribe Button by MrNumber112 https://youtu.be/Fps5vWgKdl0 00:00 Intro 00:42 Why a backup camera review? 01:19 Did you know?

This video shows you how to install this new wireless backup camera in the '05-'16 Toyota RAV4. Mistakes will be made, unexpected disassembly required, corrections performed, but the installation gets done. Installation of a wireless backup camera should be simple since it is wireless, right? Maybe, but the car, or truck you have might be the difference between easy and not so easy even though there is no wire going from the camera in the back of the car to the monitor in the front. ===== EV-olution Links ===== If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Watch this first… My unboxing and review of this product: https://youtu.be/f1lV-Da-Um8 *****IMPORTANT MESSAGE***** I just found out, the night before this video goes live, that the Amazon US link will only work for people in the US and everybody else will see it as "inventory unavailable".

Although a great car, the Kia Niro EV (e-Niro in Europe) Is not perfect, like any car on the market. In this video I list the things I “hate” about my car, now that I have owned it for almost 2 years and over 36,000km of driving. Some things are Niro EV specific, but there are some things that apply to other EVs and even ICE vehicles. Watch to find out what I don’t like 🙂. ===== EV-olution Links ===== If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Fingerprint Workshop: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgvRHIimO6otkQ4Dcl_9YqQ ======================== CREDITS: - Subscribe Button by MrNumber112 https://youtu.be/Fps5vWgKdl0 - Free stamping sound effect from https://www.fesliyanstudios.com 00:00 Intro 00:32 Why are you here? 01:40 Just my opinion :-) 01:59 The What-the-fudge-ometer 02:34 Thing number 01 03:55 Thing number 02 05:47 Thing number 03 08:09 Thing number 04 09:28 Thing number 05 11:03 I don’t hate it all :-) 11:32 Intro Inspiration - Fingerprints Workshop 12:26 The circle of life for videos 12:56 Four Hundred Thank Yous 13:17 Links to everything EV-olution 14:21 Thank you 14:30 Bloopers

The Kia Niro EV, or e-Niro in Europe, is a great car but considering the price paid there is something under the hood that Kia should have done to make the premium feel of the car more complete. In this episode the problem is solved with hood struts bought directly from China. I also answer viewer questions by explaining what some of the things are that live under the hood of electric cars. If you ever wondered why an electric car has a 12 Volt battery, or how an electric cars heat the cabin, and more, find out by watching this video. ***NOTE: One thing I did not do in this video, but strongly recommend, is to put grease in the ball sockets of the hood struts. This will prevent premature wear and noises in the long term. ===== EV-olution Links ===== ***NEW - If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Where I bought the hood struts: Kia Niro: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000858841842.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.70124c4dnWMA8v I have not bought the ones below, nor have I tried them, but they are from the same manufacturer.

Did you know that there are wheels made for electric vehicles? The Fast Wheels EV01+ is one of four EV specific models available from this Canadian manufacturer. Lighter, more aerodynamic, and unique good looks make these a great choice for my Kia Niro EV. Watch this video to find out what improvements they offer over the stock Kia wheels.

I am just a guy who bought the wheels, liked them, and made 2 videos about them. ===== EV-olution Links ===== ***NEW - If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Find out more about EV wheels from Fast Wheels at their Website: https://www.fastwheels.ca/ ======================== Music by Joakim Karud: https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud - Rainy Days [From The Archive]

All versions of the Kia Niro, not just the EV, have a common problem with the backup camera, in the rain and in the winter, the camera gets coated in crud and becomes useless. The Camwipe in my video solves the problem! *** IMPORTANT: Be sure you remove your Camwipe if you use automatic car washes. DISCLAIMER: I was not paid for this review. I did, however, receive the Camwipe free of charge, but this review is not biased because of it. If the product had been garbage I would have told you. ===== EV-olution Links ===== ***NEW - If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ You can buy the Camwipe from Eldar Ibisevic (a nice guy) here: https://www.camwipe.com/ ========================

You can easily update the Kia Niro EV touchscreen software in Canada and the US! It is easy to get the latest user interface, map software, and firmware updates. Just follow the steps in this video. My 2019 Niro EV had the original head-unit software from April 2019, and I wanted to get the latest version for a refreshed interface and better performance. Fortunately, Kia’s map software Web site was updated with a new policy that makes the software 30$CDN + shipping instead of the old 250$US price! Even better, if you own a 2020 Kia in Canada, then it is free to download! * UPDATE 1: There is a new site for getting the updates for free, update.kia.com and update.hyundai.com. Please see my channel Community post: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxZPuP9sV4NP9h_Qu54AaABCQ * UPDATE 2: I missed an option when making this video. You can display your vehicle speed on the touchscreen when in map/navigation mode. Go to Navigation, Settings, Information and check the box to display vehicle speed. Thanks to Richard Wood for pointing that out! ===== EV-olution Links ===== ***NEW - If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ ======================== My new map version from June 15th 2020 is NAM.13.41.42.660.102.5 (part number 144S5_A) The instructions in the video also apply to Hyundai vehicles, including the Kona Electric and Ioniq Electric!

Almost 1 year of use and one winter, are the Tuxmat car mats still the best? Last year I bought and reviewed the Tuxmat car mats and called them the best car mats I have ever owned.
