Amazing value AND 300+ miles. 180kW charging… plus a built-in freezer?! 🍦⚡ In this episode Sarah Aubrey (@ElectrifyThis ) and Tom Gan (@LudicrousFeed ) get an early look at the GAC Aion V, a mid-size electric SUV that is coming to the UK (available to pre-order from 23 April 2026). Known as the “Chinese Toyota,” GAC have ensured that the Aion V arrives British-proofed with suspension tuned for UK roads, improved repairability, and a competitive starting price. But the real question, is it any good?! From rapid 180kW charging and a 300+ mile range, to one of the most unusual features we’ve ever tested (yes… the freezer), we put it through its paces to see if this could be a genuine EV bargain or another buzzy newcomer. ⚡ Key Specs: Starting price: £36,450 Battery: 75.26 kWh (LFP) Range: ~317 miles (WLTP) DC charging: up to 180kW 00:00 The GAC Aion V 00:20 Ad Break 00:41 The GAC Brand 02:20 Specs 04:34 Frunk or no Frunk?! 06:00 Exterior Design 06:54 Interior - a fridge?! 10:32 ADAS, a little chatty?! 12:40 The Boot 14:28 Seat fold 15:05 Value for money? 16:11 Concluding thoughts Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric TECH: https://www.youtube.com/@EverythingElectricShow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electricvehiclesuk #ElectricCars #EV #ElectricSUV #EVReview #CarReview #EVUK #ElectricCarUK #AffordableEV #BestEV2026 #GACAionV #AionV #ChineseEV #TeslaAlternative #300MileRange #FastCharging
