Why Some Carmakers Refuse Me Test Cars 🚗⚡ | Honest EV Reviews vs. Press Events

From Battery Life.

Description:
I get press cars almost the entire year – but not from every manufacturer. In this video, I explain how carmakers decide who gets test cars, why big channels are prioritized, and why smaller YouTubers like me (and others) provide the real tests you actually need before spending €50,000+ on an EV.

I also share which brands don’t give me cars (Skoda, Mercedes, Hyundai, Porsche, Renault…), and how YOU can help me get these EVs tested on the channel.
