Faux sports cars who start to love the electric car? It is not science fiction, this is what Lachaineev Youtubers managed to do with a very special electric car.
They swear by petrol, the roar of the cylinders, the meca box presence and the oil smells. But a few days ago, in Saint-Émilion, some have vacillated.
Worse, they came out of an electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 N with banana. This is the crazy bet that La Chaêne Ev With his latest YouTube video: bringing pure and hard thermal enthusiasts on board one of the most radical lives of the moment. The result is tasty, and disturbing for purists.
“I’m not at all electric, but that changes the situation”
The concept? A closed road, an event rather known for its thermal appearance (the lex rally hats), and a skewer of skeptics.
Guys, and girls, who, in front of the camera, swing without filter: “perhaps the noise, the passage, of the reports”. “Do you like electric?” “Asks JC” No, not at all “. Atmosphere.
“I think I can no longer spit on the electric”

But now, they get on board. And from the first acceleration, the masks fall: “Oh yeah, it tract!” ». Then the virtual pallet strokes, the simulated pop pops of the exhaust, and this chassis riveted to the ground finish turning them. “It’s stylish, it’s too cool!” », Balances one of them.
“I had a crush on the thermal i20n but that one is shocked me” adds another passenger, who tries to film the experience with his smartphone without succeeding in with the driving of Alex is dynamic.
The illusion works so well that you come to doubt it. Is it still electric? Everything is there, however, but artificial: the speeds, the sound, the breaker … But the feeling is very real.
Hyundai understood everything. Where many seek to define new sportiness, the Korean brand cheats brilliantly. It is aimed at our muscle memory. And the effect is stunning.
At the exit, some confuse their disorder: “I think I can no longer spit on the electric”. Others completely change camp: “You made me change my mind, frankly, it surprises”. None remains indifferent. And this is undoubtedly there the most great success of this Ioniq 5 n: not convince with figures or autonomy, but behind the wheel, at the moment, by the feeling pure.
La Hundai Ioniq 5 N
In a landscape where electric cars are still struggling to reach enthusiasts, this approach contrasts. She abandons didactics for raw experience. No speech to try to convince, just 3 laps on bitumen, with a lot of grip, sensations, and smiles to the ears.
The ioniq 5 n will not convert the entire automobile to electric, but it proves that even the most refractory can vibrate. It must be said that with 650 horsepower distributed by two engines, without a drop of essence, the sensations are extraordinary.
And as Alex sums it up, at 80,000 euros so well, to have a new type petrol car of the same type, which provides the same kind of sensations, it is impossible. Especially when you know that by recharging at home, a car of this type costs around 4 euros to travel 100 km.
Unfortunately, Hyundai has just made a strong decision in France: the restyled Ioniq 6 will not be marketed in France, because of the French disenchantment for the sedans. Too bad, because the Ioniq 6 N which should soon be presented could have helped convince lovers of beautiful mechanics that the electric car can be even more interesting than a petrol car.
