Can EVs EVER Be SEXY and Cool?!
Season 1 Episode 35
How do we make EVs sexy — or is that even the right question?
This week on The Radiator Arms James (JayEmm on Cars) is joined by Ant (SPORTZ N TOURING) and Will (Will the Plank) to argue about styling, sound, range anxiety, bargain EVs, and whether electric cars can ever capture a petrolhead's heart.
★ In this episode we dig into:
• Sexy EVs vs gimmicks: Renault 5 E-Turbo, Rimac, Lotus Evija, McMurtry Speirling and the EVs that actually look cool.
• Fake exhausts, synthetic gearshifts, and whether added noise would make EVs feel more exciting (or just ridiculous).
• Is Porsche’s electric Cayman make-or-break for EV sports cars? And will lightweight platforms like the Kōmā (Project V) ever get to market?
• Accessibility & culture: cheap EVs as entry points, starter race series, and the idea that “sexy” is often just good design and affordability.
