true, and EVs CAN be good and viable for the right person under the right conditions. its not a problem that they exist but they DONT WANT to coexist, they want to TAKE OVER every other without actually being better than them in every aspect, the governments are enforcing that they should be sold or else. also they ignore their current flaws that still need a lot of polishing to actually be decently competitive.
@@Andrew-fq7pu I know where you're coming from, and don't get me wrong, I love the classics, but an old classic can be a lot of hard work and unreliable. I have a V6 3.5 Lexus IS 350 from 2012/13 with very low kms. It's modern enough to be reliable, comfortable and luxurious, while at the same time employing a tried and proven n/a V6 powertrain with six speed auto and rear wheel drive. The electric bits on it are common stuff too. It's considered a 'dinosaur' now, but it's the perfect blend of new and old.
My personal opinion is if people want to drive an EV fine they can drive one, but to force everybody to drive an EV is against our free will to chose and decide for ourselves what we like to drive. I don't want to drive a car full of digital apps.
That's the danger of us being a "live and let live" type of person (I am as well). Unfortunately the activist brigade will never be happy with just living the way they want to, they also want to force everyone around them to live that way too. It only emboldens them to gain more power and seek more control over what they want us to be allowed to do.

EVs are a solution to consumers being not offered affordable transportation. They are also a solution to reduce cancer caused by street level pollution. They are a solution to reduce the incident rate of injury in an accident. (40% lower incident rate) They are a solution to the reliance on military power to maintain fuel supply.
@@67ak7632hI didn’t mention climate change, I did mention air pollution at school drop offs. You stated EVs were not solving problems. Jonathon Porterfield keeps track of auction prices of EVs by the way, majority of people buy used cars.
@@67ak7632h You can afford an EV. You just don't know it yet. Or at least you will be able to afford an EV in the future. Prices will drop. BTW I don't agree with the climate change scam either but I do believe in breathing clean air. That's not a scam - air pollution is something tangible we all experience every day.
@aftonline did you think about polluting the air, the soil and the water there where all those metals are mined? It is maybe a solution for the west but not for the mining places. And what is causing the most pollution? The big factories, the food industry, the agro-industry, the chemical industry...
@@ghostofdre yeah, decrease the life of your already precarious battery by increasing the number of charge and discharge cycles ( battery life is rated in number of charge and discharge cycles ) ..... I doubt the 'profit' that they are making will cover the cost of a replacement battery. The fact that people can deplete battery life using V2L makes it even more risky to buy a used EV, because the mileage does not reflect true battery usage.
@ there are far more phones created everyday than electric cars. And phones actually are E waste whereas an EV battery is easy to repurpose once it’s not useful for a car anymore so get off your high horse lool
For the record, I miss video stores, it was fun to go as a group, get 6 or movies plus snacks and have a great night together as opposed to streaming on your own, as people don’t want to leave their homes. Video nights were fun
It's not safe to go out after 6pm to the video shop. I remember those days well, I was one of the first to get a VHS recorder in 1981. I did rent it from DER.
Tis said that the sense of occasion is gone today for movie watching. A movie would be advertised for the coming Friday or whatever day on TV and it was appointment viewing to be discussed afterwards at place of employment............ These days we all watch our own preferred stuff on our own screens in our own corner .
@ yes there is a lack of socialisation & good fun. That’s why I’m keeping my petrol car, great trips, stopping to fill up,get a drink or a pie. It’s fun to drive. The thought of sitting around for 4 hours for the car to charge is horrifying
You think cars pollute, watch this documentary. Freightened: The real price of Shipping. The 15 largest container ships pollute more than millions of cars. There are no pollution standards on the open sea where ships burn the cheapest most toxic fuel bunker oil. There are on any day 50,000 ships in international waters using this fuel. That is where the majority of pollution comes from world wide where no one can see them. They only burn less polluting fuel when in the territorial waters of countries. There are no standards for pollution on the open sea. That is why many ships fly foreign flags that allow this. Shipping companies use them to avoid countries own laws. So they pay very little taxes. We are being gaslighted by our own governments.
Which just goes to show you that the whole climate change issue is fake nonsense. If they really were concerned about the climate they would target everything and every country. Which, clearly they are NOT!
You make a very good point. So by Buying locally not only do we slow down this consumption of bunker oil but help our own economies. As far as I'm concerned global economies were never a good idea, unless your part of the elite 1% Unfortunately we are now stuck with this global monster because we have killed local manufacturing by buying cheep Chinese garbage products. We can't compete in the west because we are mired down in regulation that counties like China don't follow. Maybe Trump tariffs will help level the playing field.
Yes the insurance on evs is rightly more expensive to cover repair costs for the owner. But because of the reasons mentioned everyone else's premiums must also rise to cover the increasing probability that you may damage an ev while driving your petrol car. So the more evs on the road the more everyone's insurance costs rise. Thanks ev owners.
Wont be long before insurance companies will refuse to insure your house if you park an EV in your garage or driveway, just like they refuse you if you live in a flood prone area.
thats fine. i do it similar. my lifestyle has no room for visiting the gaspissstation anymore, to deliver my money and meet even more stupid people, waiting at the cashier lane. and for the really little money i spend on ev chargers (99% done at home and 95% from solar), i at least dont have to work anymore, thanks to the use and investment into that "bad" ev stuff... lol
I’m a Petrol head but got a MINI SE(electric) to try it and the instant torque is really fun. That’s maybe the only good thing I can say about it. Sold it back to the dealer I missed my diesel. Too many problems changing and all of the things you said in this video I experienced.
How much did you lose by selling it back to the dealer? As soon as you drive it off the lot it's a used vehicle with a registration history thus lower resale value compared to genuine new vehicle.
@@timhicks2154 I was just using it to drive to work and back only a few miles away. But got a wild hair once and drove it out to the coast in late fall so it was chilly (about 88 miles away), talk about range anxiety. I grew up driving old BMWs with broken fuel gauges and the electric range anxiety topped that!
A company I deal with has just dumped their fleet of Teslas because they were costing reps TWO DAYS A WEEK just waiting in the queue to charge their cars, not only that, but they were spending a fortune on coffee and snacks whilst they are waiting. To maintain the illusion of “ Green think”, the company has replaced the Teslas with hybrids, which do almost HALF the MPG of the diesels they had before this virtue signalling bollocks!
Quite right! Did you see where an EV school bus caught fir in Canada? I didn't realize such vehicles need an auxiliary diesel heating system to stop the kids freezing to death before they get to school or home! Terrifying...
Here in Douglas fur country we bought a fleet of English built Dennis buses,victoria town wanted some double decker buses so the factory had to retool to build left hand steering,these buses came with Perkins diesels so those engines were removed and we put the American Cummins engines in for a bit more power so they could get up the hills.Even though these buses came from a wet rather cool climate the defrost and heating system could not keep the cabin warm or the drivers windows clear of fog, so we added a extra diesel heater to warm them up a bit better.Cost a pile of money,thats what happens when Government buy buses.🤔🙄I think the English thought its the way it should be ,under powered ,cold and wet.
12. Catastrophe. Floridian here. I live with hurricanes. We've upgraded our building standards and we have new mitigation systems for flooding which assist the water seeping back into the ground so hurricanes don't terrify us. But you know that about every 10 years you will be in one. We have taken steps so fewer power lines go down. But there will always be power lines down. It will take a week to get the power back up for everyone. Blizzards ice up power lines and take them down. Earthquakes and forest fires sever power lines. Many people just lock up and drive to another part of the state to get away from that. People who live in a disaster area top up the gas tank on their cars as a preparation when a hurricane is coming. So reason 12 is that if there is a natural disaster you will lose electric power and you will lose the use of your only car.
Still remember news vision of Tampa residents wasting hours in several mile long queues at gas stations as peeps finally realised Milton was bearing down on them & they needed to take the evacuation orders seriously. Whilst EV owners had no delays using fast chargers or charging at home while they packed their car. Then on the road, ICE cars ran critically low on fuel as they crept along stop start congested roads getting very poor MPG consumption. Whereas, EVs only consumed energy when actually moving. Then while peeps looked at useless generators & lamented for fuel from gas stations that couldn’t pump petrol because of no power or they’d run out, EV owners with Vehicle 2 Load capability kept their frozen food cold & the lights on.
Very good point. We just had a mini cyclone smash into our village. Trees ripped up everywhere, rooves missing, cars squashed under trees,power lines down. Amongst other damage, a large tree was ripped in half at the front of my property and damaged the plumbing as it fell. So, no power and no water. Got out the battery chain saws. All went well until I ran out of battery. No power to charge the batteries. The emergency services didn't arrive , so I found a small two stroke chainsaw in the shed. Hadn't used it for years. Put some petrol in and rescued myself
Yes you are correct. But they are so complicated I also consider them a laptop on wheels. Do you know anyone that's NEVER had a software, hardware, or battery problem with their laptop?

The Australian Fire Brigade STRONGLY RECOMMENDS not to leave an electric car charging overnight at one's own residence due to fire safety concerns, I just heard it yesterday on the radio. They also say an EV should be left on charge ONLY when there is someone around who can ACTIVELY check on it during the whole duration of the charging. This comes from a highly competent authority, not some random comment on social media
Your fire department has no fucking clue and just spreads panic. Half of Scandinavia would have already burned down. Just make sure to call an electrician who knows what he does
@@versusstatusquo Does not mean they have a fucking clue what they are talking about. Real life proves them wrong. There are alone 5 countries who have nearly 100% EVs with no problems. Btw ICE burn more often than EVs. Don't park them in your garage. I really wonder why the ICE lobby is so extreme in Australia. You people don't even build cars. Edit: Those countries have them for over 10 years already
@ ICE cars are about 100x more likely to catch fire per capita than EVs. This is a verifiable fact. 100 gasoline fires will always be worse than 1 EV fire.
@JoshHockman what planet are you on, ev cars catch fire just sitting in a car park, normal cars don't. Ev cars are very toxic and cannot be extinguished, normal cars are way less toxic and can be extinguished easily. Think before you comment
The one and only justification for EVs may be to cut down air pollution in heavily polluted cities. That's it. Except that EVs simply move the pollution problem somewhere else, back to where the lithium is mined and processed. And that's done with child labour and no PPE.
very well said. Probably what would make sense is a solution in which the municipality create a diffused fleet of city car based on BEV the citizen can rent leaving to the private the ownership of ICE car to be used for the long journey outside the city.
There is no such a problem in modern wealthy cities with cars not older than 10 years. Since E2 was implemented cars do not stink, everything above (E4, E6) is just greenish nonsense, tries to fool everybody - and finally VW fooled self.
I still can’t get over the cult telling me ‘oh the average distance travelled is ‘insert km here’ totally ignoring weekend, or holiday driving. We in Australia can easily do 300-400 round trips driving up bush and back. And I’ve seen those public chargers that say they pull 50-100 kwph. I’ve looked at cars hooked up and often they are pulling much much less. I’m not sitting round for an hour or so to get back home (and I love the ‘oh I go and have coffee or eat. Guess what. I generally eat or have coffee where I want. Not have it within walking distance of a charger).
One of the things taught on day one of any introductory economics class: Economic decisions are made at the margins, and not based on averages. You might average 1.5 people in your car when it's driving, but almost no one buys a car with only 2 seats.
100%. I looked at an EV. The range on a summers day at 30 degrees and doing country driving the manufacturer stated that range was only 375 km against 550 km city driving on a 20-25 degree day. ff I can easily do 375 km in a day. Have no desire to sit in some country town on a Saturday afternoon with half the places closed charging and twiddling my thumbs.
I cannot take part in any discussion regarding EVs any more since ten years at least. I am soooo sick about reading all that utterly pathetic BS time after time. "You have to seek psychiatric help because you suffer from range anxiety syndrome; a range of 150miles is sufficient for absolutely everybody" or "BEVs cost nothing in maintenance because they don't have a fuel filter and fan belts". Those annoying idiots can have their pathetic discussions with themselves.
@@xr6ladthe problem is, that those numbers are purely theoretical. In real life you leave home with a full battery and then you have to drive to the highway first. In my case that would be a 15 Kilometer drive. Which means that I drive on the highway with 85% of battery capacity. And you need to ask your navigation system for the next charger at 10-15%. So your theoretical range of, let's say, 350km shrinks to less than 200km.
And in Australia you are still lucky it is not cold. Low temperature would severely affect the autonomy of the batteries. I believe that in Wyoming for example the state strongly disincentives BEV
I read that to make all cars on the planet EV’s they would need to mine 250% more copper than has ever been mined on earth in the entire history of mining. That is another thing worth mentioning.
Yes, the copper scarcity had been mentioned in a previous video or two. And 250% more means 3½ times more but in speech people mean to say 2½ times more which is 150%.. more.
There is a CO2 threshold below which the life in our planet won't be possible anymore and we were pretty close to that limit in the past. Luckily the CO2 started to grow in recent years and in fact soil is more fertile and it is also more resistant to drought and as a consequence desert areas are shrinking.
Blockbuster is actually very much like an EV, you only borrow the EV and never really own it because the people who own the software actually have control of your EV, and can disable things if you do not pay the ransom money every year to keep software up to date.
Please don't lump us all together. I bought one as a "practical" alternative for my wife who drives less than 50km/day. We will not buy another unless things change radically, and I see EV's dying, not getting more common. P.S , I also bought a PHEV as I only drank a half glass of Kool-aid. If people want honest answers, I am the guy who will give you all the reasons we will never have one again.
I am planning to manufacture an ICE CAR that takes 4 hours to fill up if you include waiting in line Runs for 150 miles before empty, Less when its cold or hot Gas tank has a HOLE in it so you have to continually add gas even if you dont use it There are only 10 gas stations in the entire city for the special filler neck and only 5 really work Needs DOUBLE the cost for insurance Needs a VERY EXPENSIVE GAS TANK REPLACEDMENT that costs $20,000 to replace every 5 years Requires a SPECIAL UNICORN GAS that uses CHILDREN DIGGING WITH SHOVELS instead of dirty oil platforms Blows up occasionally Special tires cost DOUBLE Government will charge you a BY THE MILE TAX, for no reason at all Special light body panels cost $30k even for a SCRATCH to repair Doors will LOCK YOU INSIDE THE CAR in the event of a FIRE or power failure EV stands for EXPLOSIVE VEHICLE so dont park near anything you LIKE or LIVE IN Im gonna call it the "IM SMART-YOUR STUPID" car and will actually save the earth from blowing up Would YOU buy one for 50K?

Medically I won't use 1. I got radiation overdose, so must avoid certain things, like cat scan machines etc. I was advised the ELECTRIC FIELD, that batteries and motors give is dangerous to my condition. Ok, my condition is not normal, BUT, IF IT HARMS ME, IT HARMS YOU ALSO

@@stevewilcock4767 That's a myth. In the early days, Betamax had better picture quality than VHS, but the maximum length a beta tape was much shorter than VHS... too short for most movies and also too short for people to record their favorite sporting events. In time, the Betamax standard was extended, with lower tape speed options added for greater run times, along with thinner tape film, but that gave away the quality advantage Betamax had. It was still an improvement to most, as the limited run time was a much bigger deal than the relatively slight quality advantage Betamax had. Even with that flaw addressed, the larger tape cassettes of VHS meant that at any given tape speed and thickness of the tape film itself, VHS would have the longer run time. To match VHS' run time, Betamax had to use lower tape speeds than VHS, and that meant worse quality, the opposite of how it had been previously. Betamax was also a Sony standard whose licensing costs meant that a given Beta VCR or VCP would cost more than an equivalent VHS (JVC), which was licensed nearly for free. That meant there were a lot more VHS recorders and players on the market, which further reduced prices for consumers. VHS won because it was a better standard when everything was considered. It is a popular myth that Beta was better, but it wasn't.
You forgot to mention. Just the thrill of driving is none existent. The sound of the engine. Shifting gears. And basic maintenance on a Sunday afternoon are all things you enjoy about driving. Well a lot of us still do. 🇬🇧🙄
It's recommended not to leave phones, laptops, tablets etc. unattended whilst charging. Some how I don't think I'll be going to bed leaving a stonking great EV battery on overnight charge.
Do you have a link to the organisation that recommended this?.....Can you imagine everyone standing by their electric toothbrush/torch/phone/laptop/RC toys...etc while they charge. Lithium ion batteries have been around since the 90's and I don't know anyone who has had a battery catch fire, do you? What about the thousands of LI batteries attached to solar panels in people homes...so you rely believe people stand next to them while the solar panels charge them for 8 hours per day?
Around the corner from me they own a Tesla. 🚗 Recently the temperature has dropped near or below freezing. ☃️ I noticed that the Tesla is staying in the garage, and they are using their old ICE vehicle. 🚙 What a shame to buy a nice new car, and have to keep it in the garage. 😂
In Southern California, the power company is turning off electricity in a large area where wildfires are occurring. So, just stay home. Oh wait, you may have to evacuate. On your bicycle.
They eat up tires because the have a lot more power than an average ICE.....drive it like a low powered car and the tires will last the same.....are you trying to say EV's are a bad buy because they are too fast?.....
10 reasons? I only need 1!! EV's are horrible for anything longer than a short work commute and you have your own personal charger. As for streaming, it is convenient until your favorite movie/TV show is removed from the streaming service even if you were foolish enough to "purchase it". And no, you are NOT getting a refund in that case since it was really a LEASE disguised as a purchase. So if you want to own a movie, buy PHYSICAL MEDIA! They are the petrol cars of movies!
Just in these last few weeks in Australia, Sydney and Brisbane have had credible warnings of power blackouts. How does a country like Australia keep pushing electricity guzzling EV's while its grid is struggling with power demand thanks to weather events that ramp up demand while wind and solar have generation shortfalls?
It's not on ly EVs that will increase energy use so will data centres where in for a world of pain with any unreliable intermittent weather dependant energy
@@keepitreal2902 Batteries themselves do not generate electricity. Every time power is sent to a battery and retrieved it incurs a loss of energy and it causes a storage cycle that degrades the battery, they have actual wear and tear. This is why the actual grid operators have built very few "big batteries" even with economics of large scale, they have done the math and already know it is economically non viable. So they want to con idiots into doing it for them, thanks for volunteering yourself for economic rape.
I saw a recent clip of someone measuring the EMRs emitted by an EV. The meter went off the scale in the font seat area, right under where the driver sits. What the long term risks are is anyone’s guess.🤷♂️
EV's not using headlights in the dark, damp dismal UK "daylight" hours. Out shopping yesterday I noticed I could spot EV's as they tended to refrain from using their headlights, or any lights at all, presumably to maximise range.
One more reason. In places that receive a lot of snow, it's fairly common to have a long column of vehicles stuck for hours on the freeway. Heaters in EVs will drain the battery, and some may run out of charge completely. Once snow plows clear the road and ICE vehicles begin to move on, dead EVs will sit there and block everyone else behind them. As an EV owner, this is not how you want to make new friends with the other drivers stuck behind you.
i usedv to drive a snowplough in scotland the plough just pushed them to the side if they were covered with snow ,u definatly felt the bump as it pushed the car to the side of the road ,never stoped just kept going
@lesdundas4869 That has happened over here too on occasion, but there is the concern that someone might still be inside. Plow, not plough, is standard spelling in North America. My guess is that everywhere else they use British spelling.
@mickjoebills I was basing the comment on the knowledge that EVs often are close to not making it to the next charging station. You might claim that that is because of poor planning by the EV driver. While this might be true, it is still a safe assumption that there will be EVs with little left in the battery that will become stuck on a highway in heavy snow conditions.
I was recently talking to a car salesman at a display for a well known car manufacturer. He was quite clear that this particular company was beginning to favour hybrids over full EV.
At this point, I've not heard a single persuasive reason for ever using an "ev", on the other hand, I've been quite pleased for more than fifty years riding gas powered motorcycles and cars and diesel trucks.
TFI (transport for Ireland) have banned the carriage of electric bikes and scooters on public transportation since October 7th No electric cars in car parks either
The number ONE problem with EV vehicles is governments. These wouldn’t exist if government allowed the market to dictate. But as usual they stick their noses in to business of which they have absolutely no idea
No matter what battery chemistry you have, the thermal (resistive) effects of rapid charging DO reduce battery lifespan, and as you say, Company EV users are going to want to spend the least amount of time hooked up, irrespective of the immediate and long term costs (the Company pays for the charging); yet another reason why the after-market value of fleet leased EVs is so very low.
All of the digital displays containing the essential functions of your vehicle are a distraction, potentially causing accidents AND technically illegal to operate with severe fines and demerit points for "distracted driving". Also the lack of road noise while in operation causes some to be nauseous or "car sick".
1:10, EV's are actually bad for the environment as well from toxic fumes from battery 🔥 fires & from strip mining of the minerals & all the extensive use of plastics & vinyls used in production
The reason EV tyres wear faster than ICE cars is the performance not the weight....same reason a Ferrari wears tyres faster than a Honda Civic....I have to laugh when the anti-EV lobby bang on that people should not buy an EV because they are too powerful and we should buying low powered ICE cars to save the planet...
You may need an addendum - #12 Tyre pollution and more frequent replacement due to much heavier vehicle and higher torque and tyres are much more expensive than normal ICE cars.
EV's currently work for a very small group of people. Those with a home with off street parking, who never have to drive any where further than a few miles and generally don't go to locations they don't already know very well so they don't get stuck being unable to find a charger. For every one else it's really not going to improve until the Technology does. Electric motors on their own are fine, even great. But we really need something other than huge battery packs for a power source. Batteries that take hours to charge if you don't want to shorten their life spans with an expensive super charger.
You surprisingly missed a reason: weight. EVs weigh significantly more than their ICE counterparts, putting a lot of strain on tires, suspensions and other internal parts, roads, bridges, parking garages and other infrastructure, as well as causing a lot more damage to whatever they hit when they crash, due to the increase in mass for the equivalent velocity

So lets do this. 1. Yes cost was higher but this is mainly due to manufactures raising the cost. My first ford fiesta all spec was 20k. Now same model is pushing 35K. 2. When you buy a car you are not thinking. Ooh my the cost is going to drop. So i should not buy anything where the cost is going to drop. There goes me get a new phone or laptop 3. Insurance. Then why are so many people getting ev car insurance why are so many insurance companies offering it. 4. My old petrol car was hit in the back. Minor damage the insurance scrapped it in full. This is because it's easier to replace whole kits parts over single parts 5. Yes new training is required. The first cars need this
I LOVE THIS! AGREE WITH ALL THE POINTS. You had me there - I thought you would be a blinkered EV & China fanboy like the "Electric Viking" Australian. As a physicist, I am very skeptical of the wholesale conversion to EV's. The grid just can't handle it. And each country would need to make BILLIONS of investment in the grid in order to increase the energy delivery. Sustainable energy sources are nice to have but the contribution of wind energy on a hot summer's day is negligible - just when everyone is running aircon or solar energy at night is zero. They can never be the only source. Nuclear power must be the backbone like the French have cleverly done. And it's even CO2 neutral. Forget EV trucks on normal roads - how to you want to drive from Sydney to Cairns with an electric refrigerated 40 tonner? It's not going to happen. A transport company owner was once called before a US Senate Committee to talk about electrification of the transport fleets. He practically laughed in their faces. Any engineer can tell you this - you just have to understand the physics and crunch the numbers. No amount of wishful thinking will make the developed world go completely electric, and forget the developing world. I drive a 2 litre Skoda estate (Czech VW Passat) that can regularly achieve 5.8l / 100km or nearly 50 miles per imperial gallon, 41 miles per US gallon AVERAGE on longer trips. It's a petrol (gas) engine. That's VERY efficient. 51.62 KW/h equivalent. or 67% of an _average_ EV efficiency and the heating is FREE. But for that I have best in class room and seating for 5. And I can drive over 1000 km on a tank. Regularly. Your speech delivery reminds me somewhat of Pat Condell, author and a long time voice of reason in these crazy woke times. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
@@mickjoebills Based on what fantasy world? Using publicly available resources I have crunched the numbers for my country, Switzerland 4.524 million cars, 49.5 million private car-km/year, 2000 kW/h per car average, 73 billion km driven by transport trucks. Average fuel efficiency of transport truck 35-40 litres / 100km. 1 litre of diesel is equivalent to 8.9 kW/h. Equivalent total transport kW/h goods transport AND cars (but not service vehicles, emergency, security etc.) *31.8 billion kW/h* ASSUMING electric vehicles are 3 times more efficient *EXTRA 10.6 billion kW/h REQUIRED* *Generated 60 billion kW/h per year* MINUS Industry 24 billion kW/h per year MINUS Household 40 billion kW/h per year NET DEFICIT 4 biillion kW/h (no electric vehicles) Switzerland imports from Germany and France for high demand and exports at other times. Now going ALL ELECTRIC would push Switzerland more into deficit by ANOTHER 10.6 billion kW/h. I rest my case.
You forgot to mention the battery loss of hold charge. A car that holds close to 100% when new will hold way less in 3 years. If you don’t believe just check your mobile battery from when it’s new and after a year. You will see around 10% decline per year for the first years, then the decline is less accentuate but the battery will discharge faster and take longer to charge.
They data doesn't reflect this tho. They last longer than a modern engine. Similar price to replace compared to. Look at the cost for a BMW engine and Gearbox. Plus the battery has end of life uses for storage Not accurate.
The blockbusters analogy is flawed. It was better to be able to buy a video so that you could always play it. Streamed videos seem to disappear even after you purchase them (same with video games). This is actually analogous to EV's which you never truly own and you are always at the mercy of the manufacturer and charging stations. EV's are NOT practical transport and they never will be. We need to focus on a real solution and not waste time on environmentally disastrous EV's.
I recently found out that the closest EV repair shop is 76.4 miles away from where I live. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to have a car towed that far but it would certainly be more than I could afford, plus waiting for the vehicle to be fixed, perhaps for weeks. How would I get home, since we are a one driver / one car family? And being that this is mountain country, in Canada, I'm sure that it would be less stressful to tow an EV rather than drive one. Nope. I'll stick to my economy gasoline powered car ( that can be easily repaired at the mechanic's shop just 2 miles away from here in town ) that purrs along at about 1,100 rpm gently sipping fuel on the highway where I do most of my driving.
It isn't. Can't see how they can possibly allow them on it. Even if the train keeps going, the fire would have long enough to do tremendous damage and toxic gases before it reaches the exit. Most likely the train would break down with catastrophic results.
@@philiphumphrey1548 There is the same danger with ferries. I live on the Isle of Man - it is a 5 hour minimum sea crossing from the UK mainland. Every time I see an EV with UK plates I think what a risk to hundreds of lives they have taken just to bring their EV somewhere with no speed limit!
@@MartinHouston42no fires have been caused by an ev on a ship. Currently short haul ferries are adopting battery power, 999 thus far. Two independent studies LASH Legislative assessment for safety hazards of fire and innovations in Ro-Ro ship environment and Danish Institute of fire and security safety, research EV fire risk and mitigation in maritime industry. Both closely studied the threat of EV fires and how to train crew to respond. Extracts; * EV fires are not more common/more likely than conventional vehicle fires. * The intensity of an EV fire is not necessarily more than that of a conventional car fire because most of the fire load comes from the materials used in the construction of the vehicle (plastics, interior etc) so the fire intensity is similar. * The fire growth rate of an EV fire is not faster than that of a conventional car fire. * Battery car fires can be controlled and extinguished by drencher systems among other methods. * It is highly unlikely that you will experience an electric shock from fighting a battery fire with water. * The re-ignition risk with an EV is higher than that of a conventional vehicle and the vehicle must be closely monitored after the fire has been extinguished Danish Institute report * All of the fires in the ELBAS tests could be extinguished safely. * The right equipment and training of crew is a critical aspect for lowering EV fire risks * ELBAS confirmed the effectiveness of drencher systems and boundary cooling. In their executive summary, DBI finished on a positive note: “In conclusion, the issue of EV fire safety onboard ships should not be a barrier to meeting the increasing market demand and support the green transition. The overall conclusion of the ELBAS project is that EV fires on ferries are not to be feared more than any other fire at sea. They can typically be dealt with using the correct technology, education, and training of shipboard personnel, as well as with coordinated cooperation between the ship and with emergency services on land.” (Quoted from DBI Executive Summary page iii.)
Simon, just a little addendum to the repair costs: It's not just the battery/high voltage electrical system that makes them expensive to repair, but also because many of those EVs are produced in a "gigacast" process, where the chassis is basically made just out of one single piece. They do this for two reasons: To save a little weight and cost, which they have to do because those are two main problems of EVs. But that also means if you just got a little dent in your chassis it's very expensive or even impossible to repair, because they would have to replace the whole thing. But of course the EVangelicals don't care about such little details with their so evironment friendly throw away cars...
I have seen video in which it is shown that thousand cell are literally drown in a foam and closed in a big case. That was Tesla. I doubt you can repair battery with that form factor
Charging is the issue, for not always obvious reasons. Many eateries who have nearby charging stations KNOW they have a somewhat captive audience, and if they are rural, they charge accordingly. High charge rates also mean high stresses on the charging infrastructure, especially in the "warmer months" such as Christmas, when "everyone" is on the road. Last year we had a significant amount of "Charger Aggro" around the FOUR charging points in our local shopping centre, with all the EV users queuing up waiting for their turn. Looking on the bright side, I gather the local KFC and McD's were having a very good time (with queues there too!)
Extra number 12. Heavy evs destroy roads at 2xs the pace. Not to mention the brake dust pulling up on the roads. More rare earth minerals being wasted. Sooo green😂
The green transition is definitely a scam. There is nothing really green about EVs if you take in the whole process involved in creating one, especially when it comes to the battery. Look up the video showing around 15,000 people digging in the mud by hand for cobalt in the Congo. Without their labor, the quality of the cobalt would be much lower because they supply much higher grade cobalt than the industrial mines do.
Do a bit of research and you will find that dozens of oil refineries, petrol stations, drilling rigs, petrol tankers, ships etc have also be destroyed by vast infernos....petrol does catch fire you know...
When you are standing stranded on the side of the road in the middle of winter, you will be happy that you have a lovely warm EV fire to keep you warm. 😅
I'm thankful I live in a nation that is about to exterminate EV mandates once and for all. (US) EVs should be available if someone wishes to virtue signal (errrr ... I mean "purchase") one, but government should never be able to mandate it.
If you want an EV, then go ahead and buy one. They should not be forced on everyone though.
Let the market decide.
true, and EVs CAN be good and viable for the right person under the right conditions. its not a problem that they exist but they DONT WANT to coexist, they want to TAKE OVER every other without actually being better than them in every aspect, the governments are enforcing that they should be sold or else. also they ignore their current flaws that still need a lot of polishing to actually be decently competitive.

You think cars pollute, watch this documentary. Freightened: The real price of Shipping. The 15 largest container ships pollute more than millions of cars. There are no pollution standards on the open sea where ships burn the cheapest most toxic fuel bunker oil. There are on any day 50,000 ships in international waters using this fuel. That is where the majority of pollution comes from world wide where no one can see them. They only burn less polluting fuel when in the territorial waters of countries. There are no standards for pollution on the open sea. That is why many ships fly foreign flags that allow this. Shipping companies use them to avoid countries own laws. So they pay very little taxes. We are being gaslighted by our own governments.

Here in Douglas fur country we bought a fleet of English built Dennis buses,victoria town wanted some double decker buses so the factory had to retool to build left hand steering,these buses came with Perkins diesels so those engines were removed and we put the American Cummins engines in for a bit more power so they could get up the hills.Even though these buses came from a wet rather cool climate the defrost and heating system could not keep the cabin warm or the drivers windows clear of fog, so we added a extra diesel heater to warm them up a bit better.Cost a pile of money,thats what happens when Government buy buses.🤔🙄I think the English thought its the way it should be ,under powered ,cold and wet.
Edmonton has a whole fleet of new buses sitting in the bone yard for lack of parts
Even ICE buses and coaches have diesel heaters which are separate from the engine.
They also need to keep the battery warm.
12. Catastrophe. Floridian here. I live with hurricanes. We've upgraded our building standards and we have new mitigation systems for flooding which assist the water seeping back into the ground so hurricanes don't terrify us. But you know that about every 10 years you will be in one. We have taken steps so fewer power lines go down. But there will always be power lines down. It will take a week to get the power back up for everyone. Blizzards ice up power lines and take them down. Earthquakes and forest fires sever power lines. Many people just lock up and drive to another part of the state to get away from that. People who live in a disaster area top up the gas tank on their cars as a preparation when a hurricane is coming.
So reason 12 is that if there is a natural disaster you will lose electric power and you will lose the use of your only car.

Still remember news vision of Tampa residents wasting hours in several mile long queues at gas stations as peeps finally realised Milton was bearing down on them & they needed to take the evacuation orders seriously.
Whilst EV owners had no delays using fast chargers or charging at home while they packed their car.
Then on the road, ICE cars ran critically low on fuel as they crept along stop start congested roads getting very poor MPG consumption. Whereas, EVs only consumed energy when actually moving.
Then while peeps looked at useless generators & lamented for fuel from gas stations that couldn’t pump petrol because of no power or they’d run out, EV owners with Vehicle 2 Load capability kept their frozen food cold & the lights on.
Very good point. We just had a mini cyclone smash into our village. Trees ripped up everywhere, rooves missing, cars squashed under trees,power lines down. Amongst other damage, a large tree was ripped in half at the front of my property and damaged the plumbing as it fell. So, no power and no water. Got out the battery chain saws. All went well until I ran out of battery. No power to charge the batteries. The emergency services didn't arrive , so I found a small two stroke chainsaw in the shed. Hadn't used it for years.

This comes from a highly competent authority, not some random comment on social media

I still can’t get over the cult telling me ‘oh the average distance travelled is ‘insert km here’ totally ignoring weekend, or holiday driving. We in Australia can easily do 300-400 round trips driving up bush and back. And I’ve seen those public chargers that say they pull 50-100 kwph. I’ve looked at cars hooked up and often they are pulling much much less. I’m not sitting round for an hour or so to get back home (and I love the ‘oh I go and have coffee or eat. Guess what. I generally eat or have coffee where I want. Not have it within walking distance of a charger).
One of the things taught on day one of any introductory economics class: Economic decisions are made at the margins, and not based on averages.
You might average 1.5 people in your car when it's driving, but almost no one buys a car with only 2 seats.
100%. I looked at an EV. The range on a summers day at 30 degrees and doing country driving the manufacturer stated that range was only 375 km against 550 km city driving on a 20-25 degree day. ff I can easily do 375 km in a day. Have no desire to sit in some country town on a Saturday afternoon with half the places closed charging and twiddling my thumbs.
I cannot take part in any discussion regarding EVs any more since ten years at least. I am soooo sick about reading all that utterly pathetic BS time after time. "You have to seek psychiatric help because you suffer from range anxiety syndrome; a range of 150miles is sufficient for absolutely everybody" or "BEVs cost nothing in maintenance because they don't have a fuel filter and fan belts".
Those annoying idiots can have their pathetic discussions with themselves.
@@xr6ladthe problem is, that those numbers are purely theoretical. In real life you leave home with a full battery and then you have to drive to the highway first. In my case that would be a 15 Kilometer drive. Which means that I drive on the highway with 85% of battery capacity. And you need to ask your navigation system for the next charger at 10-15%. So your theoretical range of, let's say, 350km shrinks to less than 200km.
And in Australia you are still lucky it is not cold. Low temperature would severely affect the autonomy of the batteries. I believe that in Wyoming for example the state strongly disincentives BEV

Go figure
But they haven’t as Betamax was far superior to VHS for picture and sound quality, they’ve bought into 78rpm Wax Cylinders!
@@stevewilcock4767 That's a myth. In the early days, Betamax had better picture quality than VHS, but the maximum length a beta tape was much shorter than VHS... too short for most movies and also too short for people to record their favorite sporting events.
In time, the Betamax standard was extended, with lower tape speed options added for greater run times, along with thinner tape film, but that gave away the quality advantage Betamax had. It was still an improvement to most, as the limited run time was a much bigger deal than the relatively slight quality advantage Betamax had.
Even with that flaw addressed, the larger tape cassettes of VHS meant that at any given tape speed and thickness of the tape film itself, VHS would have the longer run time. To match VHS' run time, Betamax had to use lower tape speeds than VHS, and that meant worse quality, the opposite of how it had been previously.
Betamax was also a Sony standard whose licensing costs meant that a given Beta VCR or VCP would cost more than an equivalent VHS (JVC), which was licensed nearly for free. That meant there were a lot more VHS recorders and players on the market, which further reduced prices for consumers.
VHS won because it was a better standard when everything was considered. It is a popular myth that Beta was better, but it wasn't.

EV's are like a chain. The weakest link is the time it takes to recharge. This is a deal breaker for me.
It's recommended not to leave phones, laptops, tablets etc. unattended whilst charging.
Some how I don't think I'll be going to bed leaving a stonking great EV battery on overnight charge.
Do you have a link to the organisation that recommended this?.....Can you imagine everyone standing by their electric toothbrush/torch/phone/laptop/RC toys...etc while they charge. Lithium ion batteries have been around since the 90's and I don't know anyone who has had a battery catch fire, do you? What about the thousands of LI batteries attached to solar panels in people homes...so you rely believe people stand next to them while the solar panels charge them for 8 hours per day?

Had to replace the battery in Wifes car at the weekend... Dang it cost me a whopping £93!!!!! But then it is for and ICE 4x4....
The battery in my diesel van cost me £63 Inc vat.
😂
Heh, my neighbor still doesn't know what happened to his battery last winter. :)
@@Qs_Internet_Cafe Is it still working? 😉🤣🤣
@@KevinD_33x150 Yeah, but it might be time to "refresh" , you know...winter and all.
Around the corner from me they own a Tesla. 🚗
Recently the temperature has dropped near or below freezing. ☃️
I noticed that the Tesla is staying in the garage, and they are using their old ICE vehicle. 🚙
What a shame to buy a nice new car, and have to keep it in the garage. 😂
LIAR
This video would have been a hell of a lot shorter if you listed reasons why you should buy an EV.
I'll never buy something government tells me to buy a EV.
in Denmark there is a hot debate about the "green transition" is largely a scam
In Southern California, the power company is turning off electricity in a large area where wildfires are occurring. So, just stay home. Oh wait, you may have to evacuate. On your bicycle.
Also: they eat up tires like there's no tomorrow
Also: more accidents due to extreme acceleration and "auto drive".
And their MASS. Like a torquey, missile made from pure lead smashing into a VW Golf... Very dangerous having ev's on the road
They eat up tires because the have a lot more power than an average ICE.....drive it like a low powered car and the tires will last the same.....are you trying to say EV's are a bad buy because they are too fast?.....
I know they can fly by my old girl, but then I will drift past them when they're charging, that's if they can get a spot.😂
Some can only do 60 mph in the UK as they are all trying to save range on main roads and motorways here in the UK.
10 reasons? I only need 1!! EV's are horrible for anything longer than a short work commute and you have your own personal charger. As for streaming, it is convenient until your favorite movie/TV show is removed from the streaming service even if you were foolish enough to "purchase it". And no, you are NOT getting a refund in that case since it was really a LEASE disguised as a purchase. So if you want to own a movie, buy PHYSICAL MEDIA! They are the petrol cars of movies!
EVERYONE's insurance is going up because of EV's.
Just in these last few weeks in Australia, Sydney and Brisbane have had credible warnings of power blackouts. How does a country like Australia keep pushing electricity guzzling EV's while its grid is struggling with power demand thanks to weather events that ramp up demand while wind and solar have generation shortfalls?
It's not on ly EVs that will increase energy use so will data centres where in for a world of pain with any unreliable intermittent weather dependant energy
Mate, EVs will actually help with Australias energy problems. They can be used as an enormous battery to stabilise the grid.
Sounds like California. Governor Newsom wants to mandate EV-only yet he can't stop the rolling blackout problem.
@@keepitreal2902 Batteries themselves do not generate electricity. Every time power is sent to a battery and retrieved it incurs a loss of energy and it causes a storage cycle that degrades the battery, they have actual wear and tear. This is why the actual grid operators have built very few "big batteries" even with economics of large scale, they have done the math and already know it is economically non viable. So they want to con idiots into doing it for them, thanks for volunteering yourself for economic rape.
Potential Jag owners will be salivating at the thought of child labour in the congo .
RIP Patrice Mulumba.
I saw a recent clip of someone measuring the EMRs emitted by an EV. The meter went off the scale in the font seat area, right under where the driver sits. What the long term risks are is anyone’s guess.🤷♂️
EV's not using headlights in the dark, damp dismal UK "daylight" hours. Out shopping yesterday I noticed I could spot EV's as they tended to refrain from using their headlights, or any lights at all, presumably to maximise range.
One more reason. In places that receive a lot of snow, it's fairly common to have a long column of vehicles stuck for hours on the freeway. Heaters in EVs will drain the battery, and some may run out of charge completely. Once snow plows clear the road and ICE vehicles begin to move on, dead EVs will sit there and block everyone else behind them.
As an EV owner, this is not how you want to make new friends with the other drivers stuck behind you.
i usedv to drive a snowplough in scotland the plough just pushed them to the side if they were covered with snow ,u definatly felt the bump as it pushed the car to the side of the road ,never stoped just kept going
@lesdundas4869 That has happened over here too on occasion, but there is the concern that someone might still be inside.
Plow, not plough, is standard spelling in North America. My guess is that everywhere else they use British spelling.
Such ill informed comments. an EV can idle in the snow for 3 days, without risking asphyxiating its occupants!
@mickjoebills I was basing the comment on the knowledge that EVs often are close to not making it to the next charging station. You might claim that that is because of poor planning by the EV driver. While this might be true, it is still a safe assumption that there will be EVs with little left in the battery that will become stuck on a highway in heavy snow conditions.
I was recently talking to a car salesman at a display for a well known car manufacturer. He was quite clear that this particular company was beginning to favour hybrids over full EV.
At this point, I've not heard a single persuasive reason for ever using an "ev", on the other hand, I've been quite pleased for more than fifty years riding gas powered motorcycles and cars and diesel trucks.
This channel is a breath of fresh air among all the AI slop EV coverage channels, thank you MGuyTV!
great vid! exactly!!!
TFI (transport for Ireland) have banned the carriage of electric bikes and scooters on public transportation since October 7th
No electric cars in car parks either
But under net zero even hybrids will be banned 2035 anyone supporting urgent climate action need to take a cold shower.
I leased a Chevy Bolt in 2020. I turned it back in for a petrol powered Equinox for all the reasons you just mentioned. Spot on.
Updates. any car that needs updates is a NO
The number ONE problem with EV vehicles is governments.
These wouldn’t exist if government allowed the market to dictate.
But as usual they stick their noses in to business of which they have absolutely no idea
Would love to know the specifics of thos
Most used electric cars have been used as company cars and they have usually been driven and charged very hard.
No matter what battery chemistry you have, the thermal (resistive) effects of rapid charging DO reduce battery lifespan, and as you say, Company EV users are going to want to spend the least amount of time hooked up, irrespective of the immediate and long term costs (the Company pays for the charging); yet another reason why the after-market value of fleet leased EVs is so very low.
@phils4634 😉👍
13. Water, especially salt water love electric cars........
All of the digital displays containing the essential functions of your vehicle are a distraction, potentially causing accidents AND technically illegal to operate with severe fines and demerit points for "distracted driving". Also the lack of road noise while in operation causes some to be nauseous or "car sick".
Ass, grass or kilowatts, no one rides for free.
Lol.
Doesn't have the same ring to it..
Conclusion : keep the combustion inside gentlemen.
A piston engine runs literally until it falls apart. A battery loses range from day one.
1:10, EV's are actually bad for the environment as well from toxic fumes from battery 🔥 fires & from strip mining of the minerals & all the extensive use of plastics & vinyls used in production
1) a total waste of money 2) a total waste of money
3) a total waste of money
4) etc etc -
Who signed off on this insanity!!? - Ahhh ...one more - a heavier car which means chewing through the tread on your tyres!
The people who buy them, who thankfully greatly outnumber the Luddites among us 😂
The reason EV tyres wear faster than ICE cars is the performance not the weight....same reason a Ferrari wears tyres faster than a Honda Civic....I have to laugh when the anti-EV lobby bang on that people should not buy an EV because they are too powerful and we should buying low powered ICE cars to save the planet...
I wouldn't have a new EV given me - free! Now I wouldn't mind a brand new Ford Cortina Mk3. Fantastic.
I'd rather another a TE Cortina again with a 4.1 Xflow motor like my last one, it was bulletproof & lighting fast
Regardless of discounts I simply DON'T want one , delighted with my diesel now owned for 12 trouble free years....
My body my choice. Funny how they want choice but don't want you to have choice.
You may need an addendum - #12 Tyre pollution and more frequent replacement due to much heavier vehicle and higher torque and tyres are much more expensive than normal ICE cars.
I'm yet to see a single positive reason to consider an EV. Too may negatives.
They're quiet and fast, but if you care about that get a non-EV Lexus.
EV's currently work for a very small group of people. Those with a home with off street parking, who never have to drive any where further than a few miles and generally don't go to locations they don't already know very well so they don't get stuck being unable to find a charger.
For every one else it's really not going to improve until the Technology does. Electric motors on their own are fine, even great. But we really need something other than huge battery packs for a power source. Batteries that take hours to charge if you don't want to shorten their life spans with an expensive super charger.
You surprisingly missed a reason: weight. EVs weigh significantly more than their ICE counterparts, putting a lot of strain on tires, suspensions and other internal parts, roads, bridges, parking garages and other infrastructure, as well as causing a lot more damage to whatever they hit when they crash, due to the increase in mass for the equivalent velocity
this a problem that they have in common with SUVs
EVs are a devolution. Going backwards with the advancement of time. It's like mining with a pick & shovel. Or using a horse drawn plough for farming.
EVil exposed! Great work!
The best thing about EV's is that they identify idiots.

So lets do this.
1. Yes cost was higher but this is mainly due to manufactures raising the cost. My first ford fiesta all spec was 20k. Now same model is pushing 35K.
2. When you buy a car you are not thinking. Ooh my the cost is going to drop. So i should not buy anything where the cost is going to drop. There goes me get a new phone or laptop
3. Insurance. Then why are so many people getting ev car insurance why are so many insurance companies offering it.
4. My old petrol car was hit in the back. Minor damage the insurance scrapped it in full. This is because it's easier to replace whole kits parts over single parts
5. Yes new training is required. The first cars need this
It's criminal that the taxpayer funds these cars and charging stations!
Yes, we should stop all innovation always. We should never try to improve anything ever.
I LOVE THIS! AGREE WITH ALL THE POINTS. You had me there - I thought you would be a blinkered EV & China fanboy like the "Electric Viking" Australian. As a physicist, I am very skeptical of the wholesale conversion to EV's. The grid just can't handle it. And each country would need to make BILLIONS of investment in the grid in order to increase the energy delivery.
Sustainable energy sources are nice to have but the contribution of wind energy on a hot summer's day is negligible - just when everyone is running aircon or solar energy at night is zero. They can never be the only source. Nuclear power must be the backbone like the French have cleverly done. And it's even CO2 neutral.
Forget EV trucks on normal roads - how to you want to drive from Sydney to Cairns with an electric refrigerated 40 tonner? It's not going to happen. A transport company owner was once called before a US Senate Committee to talk about electrification of the transport fleets. He practically laughed in their faces. Any engineer can tell you this - you just have to understand the physics and crunch the numbers. No amount of wishful thinking will make the developed world go completely electric, and forget the developing world.
I drive a 2 litre Skoda estate (Czech VW Passat) that can regularly achieve 5.8l / 100km or nearly 50 miles per imperial gallon, 41 miles per US gallon AVERAGE on longer trips. It's a petrol (gas) engine. That's VERY efficient. 51.62 KW/h equivalent. or 67% of an _average_ EV efficiency and the heating is FREE. But for that I have best in class room and seating for 5. And I can drive over 1000 km on a tank. Regularly.
Your speech delivery reminds me somewhat of Pat Condell, author and a long time voice of reason in these crazy woke times.
All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Dependence on any form of intermittent energy is suicide.
@RobWhittlestone If you want to be a bit mischievous just click the dislike symbol on his videos. That will give TH-cam some thoughts.
The grid can handle it.
@@mickjoebills Based on what fantasy world?
Using publicly available resources I have crunched the numbers for my country, Switzerland
4.524 million cars, 49.5 million private car-km/year, 2000 kW/h per car average, 73 billion km driven by transport trucks. Average fuel efficiency of transport truck 35-40 litres / 100km. 1 litre of diesel is equivalent to 8.9 kW/h. Equivalent total transport kW/h goods transport AND cars (but not service vehicles, emergency, security etc.) *31.8 billion kW/h*
ASSUMING electric vehicles are 3 times more efficient *EXTRA 10.6 billion kW/h REQUIRED*
*Generated 60 billion kW/h per year*
MINUS Industry 24 billion kW/h per year
MINUS Household 40 billion kW/h per year
NET DEFICIT 4 biillion kW/h (no electric vehicles)
Switzerland imports from Germany and France for high demand and exports at other times.
Now going ALL ELECTRIC would push Switzerland more into deficit by ANOTHER 10.6 billion kW/h.
I rest my case.
Electric Viking looks like he plug himself up to a EV charger,,,,,,,,,,,
You forgot to mention the battery loss of hold charge. A car that holds close to 100% when new will hold way less in 3 years. If you don’t believe just check your mobile battery from when it’s new and after a year. You will see around 10% decline per year for the first years, then the decline is less accentuate but the battery will discharge faster and take longer to charge.
They data doesn't reflect this tho. They last longer than a modern engine.
Similar price to replace compared to. Look at the cost for a BMW engine and Gearbox.
Plus the battery has end of life uses for storage
Not accurate.
The blockbusters analogy is flawed.
It was better to be able to buy a video so that you could always play it.
Streamed videos seem to disappear even after you purchase them (same with video games).
This is actually analogous to EV's which you never truly own and you are always at the mercy of the manufacturer and charging stations.
EV's are NOT practical transport and they never will be.
We need to focus on a real solution and not waste time on environmentally disastrous EV's.
We had a hollywood video. You could get 3 movies, watch and return the same day, and get another 3. For a small monthly fee. I miss that.
I recently found out that the closest EV repair shop is 76.4 miles away from where I live. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to have a car towed that far but it would certainly be more than I could afford, plus waiting for the vehicle to be fixed, perhaps for weeks. How would I get home, since we are a one driver / one car family? And being that this is mountain country, in Canada, I'm sure that it would be less stressful to tow an EV rather than drive one. Nope. I'll stick to my economy gasoline powered car ( that can be easily repaired at the mechanic's shop just 2 miles away from here in town ) that purrs along at about 1,100 rpm gently sipping fuel on the highway where I do most of my driving.
Ev's perform very poorly in the cold.
Fellow I know has just bought a Hyundai ioniq, asked him about the insurance, and he just walked away?
KIA EV6 800 Euro a year fully covered to new price. That's nothing. My Audi is 1800 ...
How safe is the channel tunnel with EVs? A fire can now bring down a muti story car park.
It isn't. Can't see how they can possibly allow them on it. Even if the train keeps going, the fire would have long enough to do tremendous damage and toxic gases before it reaches the exit. Most likely the train would break down with catastrophic results.
@@philiphumphrey1548 There is the same danger with ferries. I live on the Isle of Man - it is a 5 hour minimum sea crossing from the UK mainland. Every time I see an EV with UK plates I think what a risk to hundreds of lives they have taken just to bring their EV somewhere with no speed limit!
@@MartinHouston42no fires have been caused by an ev on a ship. Currently short haul ferries are adopting battery power, 999 thus far.
Two independent studies LASH Legislative assessment for safety hazards of fire and innovations in Ro-Ro ship environment
and Danish Institute of fire and security safety, research EV fire risk and mitigation in maritime industry.
Both closely studied the threat of EV fires and how to train crew to respond.
Extracts;
* EV fires are not more common/more likely than conventional vehicle fires.
* The intensity of an EV fire is not necessarily more than that of a conventional car fire because most of the fire load comes from the materials used in the construction of the vehicle (plastics, interior etc) so the fire intensity is similar.
* The fire growth rate of an EV fire is not faster than that of a conventional car fire.
* Battery car fires can be controlled and extinguished by drencher systems among other methods.
* It is highly unlikely that you will experience an electric shock from fighting a battery fire with water.
* The re-ignition risk with an EV is higher than that of a conventional vehicle and the vehicle must be closely monitored after the fire has been extinguished
Danish Institute report
* All of the fires in the ELBAS tests could be extinguished safely.
* The right equipment and training of crew is a critical aspect for lowering EV fire risks
* ELBAS confirmed the effectiveness of drencher systems and boundary cooling.
In their executive summary, DBI finished on a positive note:
“In conclusion, the issue of EV fire safety onboard ships should not be a barrier to meeting the increasing market demand and support the green transition. The overall conclusion of the ELBAS project is that EV fires on ferries are not to be feared more than any other fire at sea. They can typically be dealt with using the correct technology, education, and training of shipboard personnel, as well as with coordinated cooperation between the ship and with emergency services on land.”
(Quoted from DBI Executive Summary page iii.)
Simon, just a little addendum to the repair costs: It's not just the battery/high voltage electrical system that makes them expensive to repair, but also because many of those EVs are produced in a "gigacast" process, where the chassis is basically made just out of one single piece. They do this for two reasons: To save a little weight and cost, which they have to do because those are two main problems of EVs.
But that also means if you just got a little dent in your chassis it's very expensive or even impossible to repair, because they would have to replace the whole thing. But of course the EVangelicals don't care about such little details with their so evironment friendly throw away cars...
I have seen video in which it is shown that thousand cell are literally drown in a foam and closed in a big case. That was Tesla. I doubt you can repair battery with that form factor
Charging is the issue, for not always obvious reasons. Many eateries who have nearby charging stations KNOW they have a somewhat captive audience, and if they are rural, they charge accordingly. High charge rates also mean high stresses on the charging infrastructure, especially in the "warmer months" such as Christmas, when "everyone" is on the road. Last year we had a significant amount of "Charger Aggro" around the FOUR charging points in our local shopping centre, with all the EV users queuing up waiting for their turn. Looking on the bright side, I gather the local KFC and McD's were having a very good time (with queues there too!)
Reason 11: EVs lead to overweight people
This is under maintenance
- wear of tyres
- wear brakes
EV are heavier than IEC vehicles
Thanks!
And to think Maserati's were the worst for depreciation🤣

Extra number 12. Heavy evs destroy roads at 2xs the pace. Not to mention the brake dust pulling up on the roads. More rare earth minerals being wasted. Sooo green😂
You do realise that EVs are lighter on their brakes than ice vehicles right ?
The green transition is definitely a scam. There is nothing really green about EVs if you take in the whole process involved in creating one, especially when it comes to the battery. Look up the video showing around 15,000 people digging in the mud by hand for cobalt in the Congo. Without their labor, the quality of the cobalt would be much lower because they supply much higher grade cobalt than the industrial mines do.
It’s almost like the most successful company makes an ev 😢 cry harder😂
EV battery recycling facility in Missouri USA recently caught fire and was completely destroyed in a vast inferno
Do a bit of research and you will find that dozens of oil refineries, petrol stations, drilling rigs, petrol tankers, ships etc have also be destroyed by vast infernos....petrol does catch fire you know...
When you are standing stranded on the side of the road in the middle of winter, you will be happy that you have a lovely warm EV fire to keep you warm. 😅
🤣🤣
13. weather, here in Canada they were stranded everywhere in last winter's cold snap unable to charge!
I'm thankful I live in a nation that is about to exterminate EV mandates once and for all. (US) EVs should be available if someone wishes to virtue signal (errrr ... I mean "purchase") one, but government should never be able to mandate it.
And with Diesels, when they turn off the pumps, they will quite happily run on used vegetable oil from your local fish and chips shop. :P
which vegetable is the oil coming from? im confused.
Insurance for the repair shop that works on EVs?
