Efficient Alex

@UCO4mDYdw4pT3yGpPcmQPdtA - 21K subscribers

I'm Efficient Alex. After years in the automotive industry, a degree in Automotive Technology, and a lifetime passion for cars, I realised that everything I do, from design to daily life, comes down to one thing: efficiency. This channel is where that mindset meets electric cars. I explore what it’s really like to own, live with, and push EVs to their limits. From budget EV projects to smart charging tips and real-world experiments.
