Just the process of mining those minerals for the batteries wrecks the local environment and speaking of "wrecks", don't EVER crash one violently enough to break open one of those battery cells! Even a simple fender bender will cost you thousands to fix, geez!😮😢
One more reason for NOT TO BUY AN EV! It is clear, EV's are not the answer. If buying a new EV has its own problems, I can't imagine a used EV! Even if you get one for free, it is going to be expensive to own. Thanks, but no thanks!
You would have to set aside a separate country to hold all the disposable EVs this will create, and the biohazard effect will come a lot sooner than any climate catastrophe.
@@steveknight878,, spoken like a true tree hugger.. better read and change channels before you say that again.. look at horrific devastation they caused in south america/ Chile. It takes about 1.6 + million liters of FRESH water to dissolve 6 tons of acid and lithium, what's left is an isolated swamp of pools of toxic waste.. you can recycle 100% ICE.... max 90% of an EV. And the chemicals it takes to refine that used lithium,, cobalt, etc is ridiculous and costly..
Problem driving in United States is that you do not know that if the other driver is illegal and unable to pay insurance. If you get hit by one of those who doesn't have license, you ended up paying your own repair.
The cobalt in EV batteries (which is fast becoming a non-issue, because newer batteries don't use it) can be recycled. The cobalt used in oil refining cannot be recycled.
It depends on which one you are buying, there are some EVs that could be very easy to fix the battery and change what it needs (no spay foam inside the battery pack). Anyway battery should last about 200K miles if you not always charge the battery to 100%. If you can charge at home, it saves a lot of time especially the one that has DC fast charge about 50KW. It allows you charge while you doing some shopping. You can always rent the gas power for long trips. I don’t know 100K on this thing still runs the same way as the first day when it came out of the dealership. I don’t think there is any gas power car that can run 100K with zero service.
There are professional instruments that may put an EV battery to a real test (the car may need to be driven or charging), to assess the battery's health and remaining life.
Depreciation is a reason to buy. If they lose half their value in the first few years, you don’t want to buy new. You want to buy a low mileage used one. Not tat I am advocating for them - I am not even a fan of hybrids. My in-laws bought a new Infinity hybrid and the mpg was almost identical to the 2005 Malibu I paid $1000 for. The added weight took away any advantage. They also checked the cost of replacing the battery just to find it is discontinued and the only place that can custom make a new one is in BC. Not a good thing if you are in Saskatchewan. And what if your screen is discontinued? The car can be scrapped because no one makes aftermarket ones.
Every smartphone i have ever renewed promised "a longer lasting charge", every time its turned out to be a lie, great for the first month, battery cars are a fools paradise.
I have owned many ice cars petrol and diesel, I had them serviced regularly but each one had problems with costly repairs. I now own an EV I never have any problems and no expensive repairs. All you ice owners must be unlucky
Two old ICE driving seats, one arse. Already got a driving seat per buttock, getting an EV I can't use (new or 2nd hand) is not on my bucket list, hell, it doesn't even make it onto my shit list. My Rolls Royce is way cheaper to insure than an EV.
Get lost, Even the very heavy Lithium iron cells are done after ten years, thosse lihium-ion cells do even worse in cars where temps go up to 70°C and down to minus 20°C.
Buy a used Ev a few years old and enjoy all the benefits that they give you… you wouldn’t want to go back to petrol / diesel cars .. E v’ s are brilliant.😁👍

Eco friendly? I don’t think so
EV = Explosive vehicle😂😂
All valid points on used EV’s
Bollocks
You know squat about Evs
Basically, a used EV has ZERO value in the market, as maintenance costs can exceed the market value.
They are disposable tech , like last years laptop or ''old '' mobile telephone ! EV

So do not watch the Oprah Show if she starts giving away electric cars!
Been very happy with my used EV so far. Saved a ton of money in running costs.
Hey stupid mine is 4 times cheaper to run and cost less than an ICE car.
A friend of mine just spent $15,000 for a battery for his 10 year old EV. 😅 He bought it used and still owes $25,000 on a $6000 car.
@@KevJ1247 That seems rather unusual.

EVs are more recyclable than ICE cars.

You lying toad. They are not disposable and battery recycling facilities are more than enough

What are you smoking? Are you 10 years old? WTH do you think junkyards are for?

Mine lost 50% value in just one year and 5k mi on car 😮
You're lucky , most lose more
Buying a used EV is like buying a roll of used toilet paper.
Yes - you would be that stupid
Google joe rogan cobalt and its a 14 minute video showing how horrific the EV batteries are.

Wrong, EV's isen't enviromental friendly.

50% depreciation in 3 years? If you must have one, lease it and give it back.
I wouldn't get within 50 yards of a usedEV!!!!!!!!

What about EVs in small countries like the Caribbean. There are no charging or range issues there.

Not true.
Most people just get around 5-6 years their battery . Degradation is so bad that many of the battery modules have to be replaced. $$,$$$
@@davehope2210 Complete rubbish. Even if true, they would be replaced for free.
Kind of seems, to me at least, it's the same problems as the new EVs..
BREEZE Through charging stations? B.S. Never happen EVER- STOP THE B.S.
Im going to build my own car.
Im driving 20 years old citroen c4 , runs like baby , EV can only dream about it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
can i used evs for drifting
To redundant
No thank you. I will keep my ICE vehicles.
All the "scammed" people i know are very happy.
They obviously have easily accessed charging, new cars and have plenty of money.
@@kenik2023 how? In my country EVs are cheaper to buy and run. Rooftop solar offset.
Nothing. New here. Too many points. Get your msg.out quicker.
