For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world. Through regional and national programming on multiple platforms, including CBC Television, CBC News Network, CBC Radio, CBCNews.ca, mobile and on-demand, CBC News and its internationally recognized team of award-winning journalists deliver the breaking stories, the issues, the analyses and the personalities that matter to Canadians.
Corporate controlled trade policies like NAFTA, which incentivize industrial production in Mexico, are the biggest threat to Canadian workers. Decades after NAFTA was adopted most Mexican manufacturing workers earn around $1 per hour. The rhetoric around the recent 'Three Amigos' summit indicated that American and Canadian corporations intend to keep Mexico a low wage ghetto as a core pillar of North American industrial planning. NAFTA has directly cost us hundreds of thousands of jobs. The adoption of modern technology, as discussed in this report, is the least of our concerns. The recent talk of a shift away from PRC is simply a pivot to other Asian production centres as opposed to a policy to bring manufacturing back home. As long as our politicians lack the spine to even utter the phrase - Buy Canadian, our value added sectors remain in serious peril.
2:54 The power train of an an ordinary passenger vehicle has nowhere near 2000 parts. And the only way to come up with only 17 parts in an EV power train is if you completely ignore the battery cells and power electronics components.
And yes I know they said "moving parts", but that is intellectually dishonest in terms of assessing complexity, economy, and reliability.
The IC engine itself has many, many parts. I'm not sure exactly because I didn't count them when I rebuilt my engine, but it's way closer to 2000 than you may realize. Moreover, battery cells are not moving parts. And I don't know what you mean with the term "power electronics components" most electronic components don't move.
@@gordonclemmensen It doesn't add up. If we count "moving parts" on an ordinary four cylinder engine there are not that many: one crank shaft, one cam shaft, two timing gears, a timing belt or chain, two oil pump gears, and a set of pistons, rods, valves and rockers for each cylinder. Add the remaining parts and you have the block, head, and pan. And all of the above are made from inexpensive, readily available, easy to manufacturer steel and aluminum. There simply isn't overwhelming complexity there. And representing what complexity does exist by a simple "parts count" is either disingenuous or utterly naive.
@@gordonclemmensen We can't separate moving and none moving parts to compare complexity, economy, and reliability. The whole system has to be considered. This comparison and line of reasoning is becoming a meaningless trope.
Count the parts in just the CV axles, which are identical in EV's and ICEV's. They're all moving parts and they're identical in each type of car. You'll have two or three times more than 17 parts right there. And they are, indeed, part of the drive (power) train.
Building cars no one can afford or wants...this should be interesting.
Cars that have a year backlog of pre-sold orders, go directly from the factory to the new owner. But hey, maybe you should call them up and explain things to them.
Not to mention, no one can recycle or repair these cars and the cars may not last as long....and they will need more coal burning plants to produce enough electricity to power these cars. And you can't haul anything heavy (for commercial businesses) with electric trucks.
@@Ynalaw Ontario is 90% nuclear.
It will happen. Slower than some people think but the battery tech will get more robust and better, the electric infrastructure will happen and the assembly plants will drive down the cost. The Model-T had 20hp, cost twice as much as a horse and buggy and got stuck in the mud.
@@trails3597 Ontario is 10GW nuclear, 2.2GW Wind, 3.6GW hydro. 130 MW gas. Zero coal. Source: IESO.
Need to upgrade the power grid to provide more electricity to power the autos
Did you notice all that orange wiring at 7:45. Totally inefficient. That is not cutting edge design.
Ontario has an incredible ecosystem for innovation and manufacturing here. From Windsor, Oakville, Brampton, and Oshawa, there is plenty of capacity to make electric cars, trucks, and buses, and other components that are needed for electric vehicles. This is the way forward for the planet. I'm happy to see it.
There is 0 future for electrical vehicles
The power grid is gonna need major upgrades
@@jkb358 Tell that to the business community, the US government, California, the EU, Norway, France, Germany, Spain, the UK, China, India, and automotive industry. I'd love to see how that goes down.
@@wewantmoreboomboom8313 In 2021, the entire global fleet of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids consumed a total of 50 TWh of electricity. In 2019, Quebec generated 212> TWh of electricity, and not even at full capacity. There is no shortage of generation capacity, and the transmission, and distribution lines can handle it.
Would you sign a consent form to allow old batteries to be buried on your property or beside your property ... don't worry, we will ship you bottled water for the next thousand years .. maybe.
If electric cars are simpler to make why are they not cheaper. Why do we have to pay these exorbitent prices for them
Electric vehicles were damaged the most in floodings around the world, they just cant operate like standard petrol vehicles. Petrol powered 4x4 are the most robust for all weather conditions.
well they are trying the 15 minute cities so you will not need a car. where dose the stuff that makes the batteries come from? child slaves in african and the power comes from coal.
Good reporting
It's all lies
The 2000 vs 17 "moving parts" bit is intellectually dishonest. I don't know why people cling to this. You can't single out just "moving parts". You have to consider all the parts or any analysis of complexity, economy, and reliability, is fallacious. Even if you do single out just "moving parts", there are not 2000 them in an ordinary passenger car's drive train, and not only 17 on and EV. Not even close.
This is all about money. Batteries are far worse for the environment then fossil fuels
Batteries are recycled. I guarantee not one litre of fuel has ever been recycled. And the damage done by fossil fuels is one of the reasons we are going electric.
@Winston Smith You only have to look into Redwood materials among others to see it is very much true. But don't let facts get in your way.
This is just a mindless talking point repeated by sheep. You only have to mine metals once and can recycle them indefinitely. Fossil fuels must be extracted again and again. It's also the same metals used in laptops, smart phones and other electronics, but no one is opposing the use of those.
@@Sorcerers_Apprentice you are going to recycle them ?
@@teamallyracing1780 yes people are able to recycle them. Are people able to recycle fuel?
Thanks
Hydrogen*
Will never be a thing. In cars at least.
The government and the media can push ev all they want. But until they can build a battery that will hold a full charge at -30 and can fully charge anywhere in 20min or less I will continue to drive my ice vehicles. And as I can repair everything on a ice vehicle I can continue to drive them for decades. Ev are nothing but the new plastic bag. It's a massive environmental misstep and the consumers will pay the price for it when the battery fail and replacement costs more then a total engine rebuild
