🤔Are EVs ready to handle extreme winter conditions without leaving drivers out in the cold? 👉Why Are EVs Being Banned Worldwide? The Shocking Truth Nobody’s Talking About! WATCH IT NOW HERE! 🎬th-cam.com/video/kZ52rNgItOI/w-d-xo.html
Even once the batteries switch over to solid state, the problem of overloading the electric grids remains. The problem with infrastructure remains, too.
Not correct unless your country not supporting it. Of cource infrastucture will get better and better. How many years needed to built gas infrastructure until functioning like now?
BEVs should be deposited in the dustbin of history like they were at the start of the 20th century. Don’t charge during the summer because of rolling blackouts. Don’t charge in the winter because of rolling blackouts. I would be curious to know how the BEVs made out during the evacuations in FL during the second hurricane.
As an electrician I have been anti EV since the beginning. Fires are the least of it, the toxic construction, the lack of infrastructure for charging, not to mention the costs
EVs were a a bad idea from the start. Producing them is so anti-ecological it defeats the purpose of building them in the first place. True, they make a very nice ride under ideal conditions, but otherwise they can very likely leave you stranded. Just ask yourself why nobody's building military EVs. Even the electric grids that feed EVs in the US are themselves mostly oil or gas operated.
unfortunatley the australian government with it's idiot leaders in it's left wing side of government are trying to do just that. and yes, they really are that dumb.
It is time for vehicle manufacturers to tell the Governments we and not going to make EV’s as our major product. The public has to tell Government we will not be dictated to what we must drive.
Lithium-ion battery technology is pretty mature. Current EVs are near as good as they're going to get, and for most customers it's simply nowhere near good enough or affordable. And it's a myth to say that they are environmentally friendly.
As a hybrid car owner and user I suggest this is a practical way forward. No plug in facilities needed, and range anxiety eliminated. With mpg ranging from 55 to 70 mpg depending on how heavy you are with your accelerator. A trip to refuel about every 500 miles again depending on how much accelerator one uses.
Switzerland can get a diesel generator like everyone else who are in a similar situation . In Russia they still sometimes start small fires under truck engines to heat up the oil and thaw out the battery , that's how cold it gets up there at times . Definately no place for electric vehicles
Ev's need to go away, to expensive, insurance to much, need tires more often, taxes are to high, to expensive to repair, resale value low especially if you need a new battery. If you are hit by one and the weight of it might be more harmful. I will never buy one.
An EV is good for 347 miles as long as the weather is fine, there is nothing in the car, you don’t turn on the lights, heat, air con, entertainment system, indicators etc etc then the range drops to about 14 miles, but always make sure that you keep a full bucket of electricity in the boot, just in case.
It will take the lifetime of an ev to balance the fossil fuel needed to produce it. Also where is the electricity to charge it come from? Often from fossil fuelled sources.
I live in a very rural area, it is more than 45kms to our nearest town, the large supermarket there has 6 charging points for EVs, many times I arrive & park & see EV owners waiting beside their vehicles for them to get some charge, 1 hour later I exit supermarket & still these people standing waiting, I load my shopping jump into my dirty 2.7 V6 biturbo diesel & return home, EVs are not worth the trouble. !!
@@Secondwind2010 Until they get range anxiety,or drive in snow wondering if it will burst into flames,or through deep puddles for the same result. Or maybe they will enjoy the depreciation when they come to sell it,or the cost of a new battery? Yep,what's not to love?
@ it’s all fixed. I have one. I drive it all winter. I just drove from Phila to Savanna Ga. You can drive a nail throw my LFP batteries and they will not catch on fire. Remember gas fires happen much more than battery fires!
EV should have been less than $10,000, two seater vehicles, meant only for local driving. That way a person could have a second ICE vehicle for long trips or numerous passengers. Didn’t GM make a lead acid electric car called the EV1 back in 1996?
EVs WEIGH 40% MORE THAN GAS COUNTER PART, THAT MEANS EV CANNOT STOP AS FAST, WEARS OUT BRAKES & TIRES MUCH FASTER, CANNOT GO AROUND A CORNER AS FAST AS A GAS CAR, & NO RESALE VALUE, BUY IF YOU WANTA WASTE YOUR MONEY BUY 1 !!!!!
Also at this point ICE vehicles are so clean that tire wear is the largest contributor to particulate pollution. Given that EV’s are so much heavier any pollution “saved” from not having an ICE engine is offset by the increased tire wear (increased amounts of toxic tire particulates released into the air). If people were objective, EV’s would be banned around the world tomorrow. Alas the “EVangelists” will continue to double and triple down…
Sitting in any vehicles With high voltage/Wattage....Electrocution/Explosions seems a possibility...when water is sprayed onto the High Wattage Battery fires?! Maybe that’s the concern as well!
Or a SCH (Self-Charging Hybrid, falsely labeled as HEV), the most reliable and lowest TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), opposite to the unreliable and huge TCO (especially when including the battery replacement) BEVs and PHEVs.
The EV insanity of NY and California has mandated electric snowmobiles starting with the 2035 models. I live in the Adirondacks, gas stations are scarce in many areas. EV charging stations are even scarcer. The cold weather's affect on battery life is yet another reason this is a foolish idea.
No way will EV's become the transportation of the future. It would take trillions of dollars for a country to build the infrastructure to support the number of EV's necessary to power them and provide the power to service normal residential, commercial, public transportation and industrial use. Solar and wind power generation is a non starter for such monumental change.
EV'S are $hit! Expensive fire hazards $hit resale value and take too.long to charge plus cost more to fast charge than filling a I.C. car with gasoline. And $uck in cold weater. ETC........................
People should be free to choose their own vehicle without government interference clearly the public’s appetite for EVs is nowhere near the foolish governments anticipations
You missed the fact that EVs are also very impractical in urban areas. How does my daughter recharge her EV in NYC when she lives on the 26thg floor of a high rise apartment.
CALIFORNIA, a state that can't even keep the electric on, they mandate EVs. FLORIDA, multiple EV fires during the hurricanes due to chemical reaction from flooding.
Stop making "big" EV. EV is very useful as a runabout, with maximum mileage of 150-200km at full charge. This will result in smaller battery and shorter charging time. Making it small will also make it lighter, thus needing less energy per km. A perfect EV is a cheaper, 2+2 seater, A-segment, city-car.
If you want to move forward, think advance. Things sometimes failed, so what we do, is to improve. If you think negative, then you are stuck, that's failure,failure ...
I tow a caravan and often tow it a long way. An EV is totally impractical for that type of use. Imagine towing in cold weather with the range firstly being limited by the weight I'm towing, then having to have the lights, heating etc running. Its then impossible to pull in to a charging station with the caravan on the back. I'm over 35 feet long! My journey would take hours and hours. Sorry, not something I'd ever consider and it frustrates me that the UK Government are trying to force the population (against their will) to buy EV's. Watch my lips...I don't want one.
Major European manufacturers are already......or at least scaling back considerably. Vauxhall is closing it's Luton factory due to undue pressure from Government.
My diesel X3 was recalled for an EGR component to be replaced. The courtesy vehicle was an i4 coupe which I had for a whole month because the part was not immediately available. One of the novel features of EVs is their performance figures. But when you check them out they are not as superior as you might think. The i4 0-60 time is quoted at 5.2 seconds, which is pretty quick but my three litre X3 SUV will do it in 5.8. Performance figures aside, the month I had that thing firmly convinced me never ever to buy an EV.
EVs may have a niche where you live in a small area with a short commute to your job, and can charge at home; but don't plan on them to be serviceable in heavy traffic, storms, or long trips.
EVs are going to cause insurance rates to become so high no one will be able to afford them. More over, homes near where EVs are are now at risk as well.
BEVs are a lot like the all-seasons/weather tyres. Apparently a cheap solution and excellent for a very limited set of conditions (average weather/temperatures mainly), but also extremely dangerous, unreliable, polluting, impractical etc. That's why I use only dedicated, performant winter and summer tyres (beside the track-days tyres for my Miata) and I shall not own a BEV junk.
California asked people not to charge at peak 5 pm to 9 pm. California did not prohibit charging at those hours My electric panels supply enough to charge my car for free.
EV's weigh a lot more than conventional cars. They will put additional weight on roads, bridges, parking structures, etc., that they were never designed for. Also, many EV's make their electric windows and doors inoperable after an accident, so that there have been people burn to death because they can not exit the vehicle, and the super tough windows of the Teslaas make it impossible for people outside the vehicle to open the doors by breaking the glass.
EV cars are for use and throw purpose: investors in these share market can expect lots of returns: more fires means more more money. The owners has to buy some more EVs.
This inconvenient truth makes Ford's infamous Pinto debacle seem like nothing. At least Pintos required outside "help" in catching fire; and even then, it never required pumping out half a Great Lake to put such fires out. Plus, Pintos had greater ranges, regardless of changes in climates (otherwise called "seasons"). Perhaps Ford should consider reinstating Pinto production. If there is any good to come out of this, it's that governments are learning the hard way that not everybody among the common masses is a sheep to their whimsical demands. After enough misleading, people will become skeptical of "Trust The Science, We Are The Science." That also goes for others who think their relative fame is enough clout to dictate to commoners. Take Neil Young, for example, who was an adamant advocate of this sort of technology and even converted a 1959 Lincoln Continental Mark IV to a full-fledged EV to push his narrative. After a while that car wound up cremating itself in its garage. Nothing more from him after that.
CHEMISTRY 101 ! ! ! Lithium-ion batteries. Lithium (Li) is a chemical Element at the head of Column 1 in the Chemical Periodic Table, also in Column 1 are the following Elements in order, Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Caesium (Cs) and Francium (Fr). All of these elements are vicious in their activity with other chemicals, particularly water, where they burn at a very high temperature. The box these elements are kept in must be totally air tight to prevent even the slightest moisture from getting into the box, if moisture does get into the container it will explode and create one huge fire which it is impossible to put out. Now research is going on into Sodium-ion batteries which are much cheaper to manufacture than Lithium-ion batteries since Sodium is fairly cheap to manufacture from common salt. If ever they do make Sodium-ion batteries, well don’t even think about it, they will be ten times worse than Li-ion batteries.
Governments aren't doing it right. 1st, they should promote vehicles like the Chevy Volt which one can use gas when the battery is too low. That way nobody is stranded when the trip lasts longer than the charge. This is ideal for the people who can only afford to own one car. 2nd, they need to create a way for the battery to be charged while using gas to help with the lack of charging infrastructure and costs. 3rd, they should promote EVs for short to moderate range commutes while keeping a gas/diesel vehicle for long range and bad weather. Couples and families tend to own at least 2 vehicles. One can be an EV is the at least one person has an appropriate commute that an EV can easily handle. 4th, it's too early to expect non-house dwellers to own EVs when they have no place to charge and have to rely on expensive and always busy charging stations for their daily charging. 5th, governments should be considering the costs to the environment and people in the building, repairing, discarding, and dangers to charging EVs or getting them stuck in floods. If you're going to destroy humanity and the environment by trying to save the environment, then you're barking up the wrong tree.
If it weren't for the invented climate threat, these cars would never have been created.And they would not be allowed to be performed on public roads and private individuals would not even be allowed to own them.
It's only a matter of time before an EV catches fire onboard a car ferry carrying dozens of people. This technology is only good for milk-floats and golf buggies.
Yep?! I reckon the manufacturers know that as well.......they are just practicing on the public and production at present...Hugely High prices...higher profits....?!
Ev fires are associated with first gen lithium batteries. Lifepo4 cells are much safer. What may be a problem is charging facilities other than solar - ev may be env. friendly, but many power stations still run on coal.
Get A Horse! America’s Skepticism Toward the First Automobiles The inventor who claimed the first U.S. car ever sold recalls the birth of the industry and the general public skepticism about automobiles.
If you would take out the (most reliable and lowest TCO cars = SCH (Self-Charging Hybrids, falsely labeled as HEV) from the statistics that should include only the unreliable and huge TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) BEVs and maybe PHEVs, then you'd realize that the growth of the EVs is in fact a major decline. I shall never own a BEV (Battery Exploding Vehicle) or a PHEV (Plug-in Exploding Vehicle) clunker, but I do own performant ICE cars and a SCH (Lexus UX 250h F Sport) - that is amazing as well, even it uses the small hybrid battery far less than 25% of the time (it regenerates when braking / coasting and also recharges from the ICE - usually when it's going less than 40% charge, therefore providing great savings when driven in the city or through the hills/mountains).
@@codincoman9019 Why would I take out cars that run on batteries 80=90% of the time and often more? "growth of the EVs is in a major decline" So their still growing in number but not at the rate before. The growth of EVs when millions are on the road will always be a smaller percentage than when they number in the thousands.
@@glennmartin6492 You wouldn't. Because you don't have enough education to get to the truth (e.g. even the larger battery of the PHEV cannot last more than a few tens of miles, not to mention the few miles range of the hybrid battery of the SCH). Heck, even your grammar sucks - and English is not my first language (it is the third one)...
We already have an exceedingly effective CO2 removal system on planet Earth. It is called "crops" At 0.043% of Earth's atmosphere, CO2 is described by Physicists as a "trace gas" . Having been as high as 7% in Earth's past, bit of a worry it is now so low.

Not to mention the recycling nightmare.
When California tells EV owners not to charge their cars because it hasn’t got the capability you know that it’s all garbage.
Evs=ticking timebomb. Great info on Norway and Switzerland. Driving an ev in a blizzard can easily be fatal and you might end up in the morgue.
Strange how people in Norway think they are great 👍
@@Secondwind2010yes they are great of course. There will always be solution and better life then.
Fossil fuel will soon be scarce and only become advantage to spesific country. By the time the price will keep going up and unaffordable then.
And an EV FIRE EVERYTHING LOCKS DOWN EVEN THE DOORS ,SO WELCOME TO YOUR VERY OWN MOBILE CREMATORIUM,PERIOD
@ they have emergency door release handles. The new batteries are much safer
Don't forget the Luton airport carpark fire. It absolutely was NOT a diesel. Entire carpark collapsed and 1500 cars destroyed
And don’t forget they tried to blame a diesel Land Rover before they could put the fire out

I will skip EV ownership completely. #1 reason, too damn expensive.
FIRE , COST , COST OF REPAIRS , INSURANCE , ARE NOT ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY .

Tis is my mom I.d. As an ev specialist, Tesla car takes 13000 kms to offset t carbon emission .
Evs combat Global Warming, but slowly

Maybe 200 years from now.
I'm sure that there will be another source of energy for vehicles than Li-Ion batteries in less than 20 years from now.

5th, governments should be considering the costs to the environment and people in the building, repairing, discarding, and dangers to charging EVs or getting them stuck in floods. If you're going to destroy humanity and the environment by trying to save the environment, then you're barking up the wrong tree.
Seems reasonable.
Not Tesla🤔. Banned EV from a certain country.
If it weren't for the invented climate threat, these cars would never have been created.And they would not be allowed to be performed on public roads and private individuals would not even be allowed to own them.
It's only a matter of time before an EV catches fire onboard a car ferry carrying dozens of people. This technology is only good for milk-floats and golf buggies.
Hybrids are better they do not need charging points
So now, back to old petrol smoky cars at last. ⛽😬😁
Hybrids, hydrogen or ammonia maybe ?
QUESTION,SO THE CHINESE ARE BANNING EV,sSO WHY DO THEY SEND SOME TO UK.
Hey, EVs aren’t banned in the “Super-Democracy” China.
I think electric cars are probably the future, but im not sure if batteries will power them.
Yep?! I reckon the manufacturers know that as well.......they are just practicing on the public and production at present...Hugely High prices...higher profits....?!
Ev fires are associated with first gen lithium batteries. Lifepo4 cells are much safer. What may be a problem is charging facilities other than solar - ev may be env. friendly, but many power stations still run on coal.
No, EV's are dangerous and should be banned.
Get A Horse! America’s Skepticism Toward the First Automobiles
The inventor who claimed the first U.S. car ever sold recalls the birth of the industry and the general public skepticism about automobiles.
I am tired of your endless stock photo clips.
But, they're so innovative.
Try one in -40 below
Not ahete a lot of people vome from
And all those scary videos you put up, when were they published?
Worldwide EV purchase rose up over 30% last year. Individual restrictions by individual and isolated businesses isn't a global trend.
ONLY by "pro China governments" manipulating the free market.
If you would take out the (most reliable and lowest TCO cars = SCH (Self-Charging Hybrids, falsely labeled as HEV) from the statistics that should include only the unreliable and huge TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) BEVs and maybe PHEVs, then you'd realize that the growth of the EVs is in fact a major decline.
I shall never own a BEV (Battery Exploding Vehicle) or a PHEV (Plug-in Exploding Vehicle) clunker, but I do own performant ICE cars and a SCH (Lexus UX 250h F Sport) - that is amazing as well, even it uses the small hybrid battery far less than 25% of the time (it regenerates when braking / coasting and also recharges from the ICE - usually when it's going less than 40% charge, therefore providing great savings when driven in the city or through the hills/mountains).
@@codincoman9019 Why would I take out cars that run on batteries 80=90% of the time and often more? "growth of the EVs is in a major decline" So their still growing in number but not at the rate before. The growth of EVs when millions are on the road will always be a smaller percentage than when they number in the thousands.
@@glennmartin6492 You wouldn't.
Because you don't have enough education to get to the truth (e.g. even the larger battery of the PHEV cannot last more than a few tens of miles, not to mention the few miles range of the hybrid battery of the SCH). Heck, even your grammar sucks - and English is not my first language (it is the third one)...
How about making a CO2 capture for gas engine
You mean CO as in MON OXIDE (the actual bad gas) capture
@geoffsclassiccars jep it possible in big scale so Why not in small scale
CO2 is an essential trace gas in the atmosphere, essential for all life on this planet.
No need to "capture" it.
We already have an exceedingly effective CO2 removal system on planet Earth. It is called "crops"
At 0.043% of Earth's atmosphere, CO2 is described by Physicists as a "trace gas" . Having been as high as 7% in Earth's past, bit of a worry it is now so low.
without co2 all plants die
The high weight of EVs would require the expensive replacement of highway safety barriers in the entire country.
Gas is no panacea. I remember that I could only buy gas on even numbered days.
The debate is pointless as in the near future fossil fuels will become ever more expensive until final depletion.
EVs are unavoidable.
