2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 - Range Test | Real-world Highway MPGe 

The Cadillac Lyriq enters the chat at that EV price point. Drove one recently, really nice, solid, quiet, etc... comparable interior as the GV70E with more range AND qualifies for the full Federal $7500 incentive. 😉

​@@NJturtlePowerhow much more range? As I understood it was 260mile

ehhh after 5+ years with Model 3's rated at 300+ but in reality get 240-250mi. on a good day I get by just fine and typically Supercharge only a handful of times a year. 3-4 Hour round-trips are easy enough with 230+ miles of range.

Agreed; great review and video. And agreed, the next improvement that is mandatory for broader acceptance of the Genesis will be more reasonable range. Surely there is some way to fit a 90+ KwH battery to this vehicle, and get a genuine 300+ highway mile range.

Interesting call! And you’re probably right. I’ll consider that for future testing

Won't make any difference when it comes to cruising. Comfort mode turns off power to the front wheels when cruising. Eco does the same thing and also reduces available power to the rear wheels, but at highway cruising speed the energy consumption results are the same.

@@stephenj280 That's what I was thinking. Perhaps climate control might run differently in Eco?

Grizzl-e

More pathetic are those commenting on tech they do not understand and have no real-world experience with. Been driving Tesla's (2 different Model 3's) myself for 5+ years now...What you going to tell me about EV's that are and and aren't "Mr. Thug" haha?

Ignorant comment and doesn't really make sense. you're saying that TV's no longer exist? TV's will always be around, and companies will utilize the most efficient technology, just like they are doing with automobiles. I'm not an EV owner, but I have done the research, and that is where the industry is heading, and will stay. No doubt, gas cars are an institution, but the technology is getting better and better for EV's, and will get cheaper and cheaper, as long as we keep moving forward. With progress, there will be always be folks fighting the resistance. Get with the times.

@@TimSmith-db1iu are plasma TVs still around? No. And the same will happen to *current* EV tech. Do you really believe these giant battery packs are the future? Maybe solid state batteries will make more sense but until then you can see why EVs are stockpiling

@@ballathug8404 They stopped making plasma's because BETTER TECHNOLOGY became available. EV's are 10 years ahead of gas cars. Car manufactures are trying to keep up and they pay companies to take apart the EV's to inspect them and then sell them the info to make their cars better. There's lots of misinformation out there on various news platforms, but the facts are that BOTH gas cars AND ev's are slowing in sales due to the economy. Look up the sales of EV's in CA in 2023, it's like 1 and 4 new cars purchased were EV's. You must live in a small town or something. Everywhere I go in Orange County, LA County, San Diego, Santa Barbara, all I see are Tesla's. Another reality about EV's is that once people switch to an EV, they never go back to gas. In my opinion, since traveling to remote locations can be a headache for EV's, I think having hybrid, and an EV is the perfect combo for a family.

Plasma is actually still a pretty nice display if you've got a vintage HD one in working order. Plasma was a fairly mature technology, it just cost too damn much. EV technology has the same price problem currently. And a weight problem. But those things will improve iteration by iteration, even the biggest EV skeptics know it's going to get better. (If they are honest.) Some of these current EVs will be around quite a while, they really are quite simple compared to ICE, and quite good. Others, eh, not so much. Such is the price of being an early adopter. So many different "solutions" being thrown out that some are bound to be duds. People around the world fast charging these early tech lithium batteries is kind of like a giant science experiment. It may seem pathetic but perhaps desperate is more like it. Just my 2¢.

Yes
