We Bought The Cheapest (And Most Hated) Electric Car

This week, the guys reveal a brand new project 'car' that is sure to divide opinions! (Viewer discretion advised!)

I’d love if @carthrottle did a scrap car challenge where they save 3 cars from being scrapped and find who has the best car and who can make it better.

Put a diesel generator on a trailer and run it as a hybrid. would be interesting how much MPG you get 🙂
And I also like the idea of a RC G-Wiz

[mikerichards]

I'd love to see this as a drag electric car (sorry quadricycle) Small cage big power electric motor, what could possibly go wrong

[guillaumegaudin]

17:00 that is legitimately the most CO2 releasing EV i've seen

[Xavierpng]

Long distance trip with Gary sounds like some proper entertainment 🤣

[SKOMPAS]

I would love to see the G-Wiz converted to LiPo batteries like some Tesla or Nissan Leaf cells, I can imagine that old brushed motor can take some serious amps!

[TerranRedsky]

This seems like the perfect car for Jack to do a 24 hours in a car challenge I think.

As a lover of old bad electric cars. I would totally pay 400 for that. It's in much better condition than the citicar I was looking at for that price.

Next up, lithium swap, bigger motor and controller, doughnuts.

I’m personally grateful to the G-Wiz, since I owned an Austin Allegro (my dads old car I inherited) so I only had the second worst car

6:18 I'm surprised no one is talking about when Alex said you can sit in between me not for the first time 😂

[Rmx]

That thing is a deathtrap. Shows how far you guys are willing to go for content, thanks guys!!
Edit. you must try offroading it LOL

[drunkenhobo]

17:00 - Love the irony of blasting out a load of CO2 from an electric car.

[Doneysaur]

I’d like to see it on some JDM 10” wheels, lowered with a nice paint job. Full interior refurb too.

[devanblank]

I work on forklifts for a living and it was so weird to see the same motor controller you’d find in an electric forklift, and hear the same click from the contactor engaging when you turn the key… though I’m sure the motors in my forklifts have a bit more power 😂

[TheScottishSprayer]

Gary needs to be a targa top or ragtop for headroom. Oh and a slim system in the boot playing big exhaust noises.

Budget ELECTRIC off roader:
Make it in to an electric off roader! Raise it, new tires, lights could be cool. I reckon it might be able to do something because it’s so lightweight.
Off roading is pretty slow so the crash test results can be forgotten of (:D), but maybe build a roll cage as well just to be safe!

[keetandaish]

Love how much Ethan has grown and changed in these videos, proper main character energy now fucking love it 💜

[danielmorris]

I have a neighbour who has one where I live and he uses it almost daily to go to the village shop and to see family and friends around the village, he only needs to charge it a few times a week. We get snow quite a lot here and for that reason the vast majority of people have Land Rovers, this guy uses it when we get snow and because it is so lightweight and underpowered it kinda glides along the snow without getting stuck like a normal car. Last year some people (who presumably had been on their way home from the pub to the hotel as they woke the whole village up in the night) actually lifted it and put it in the middle of the road. That might sound funny and if they hadn't have damaged it then it would be on the cusp of being a funny sort of prank, but they also came back later in the night and smashed the windscreen on it.

[Gobbbbb]

I absolutely love how proud ethan was with the V5 joke 😊

[VluggeJapie]

This needs a bike engine, imagine seeing/hearing this thing screaming at 15.000 rpm.
