• Future electric classics: BMW i3, Tesla Model 3, Renault 5 and more debated in special podcast

  Welcome to a special edition of the Everything EV Podcast from EV Powered, hosted by Matt Allan and George East.This time, we’re diving into a hotly debated topic: which electric cars of today will become the classic cars of tomorrow?From quirky concepts and cult favourites to landmark launches and misunderstood icons, Matt and George debate which EVs deserve future legend status — and which ones are doomed to be forgotten. In the running:The Honda E, BMW i3, and Abarth 600e – flawed but fun, and all the more loveable for it.Early trailblazers like the VW e-Golf, Renault Twizy, and Tesla Model 3 – are they automotive turning points or overpriced tech novelties?Modern design icons like the Renault 5, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, and Porsche Taycan – are they already classics in the making?Plus: why the Citroën Ami, Skoda Enyaq, and even the upcoming Fiat Panda EV could be cult favourites for future collectors.Along the way, expect plenty of left-field picks, spirited debate, and some brutal honesty about what really defines a ‘classic’ — from both a car enthusiast’s and an EV driver’s point of view.Want to weigh in?
