This will be a VERY BIG PROBLEM for junkyards everywhere !!!
well, there's always that lake in the area. at night... quietly gently pushing the vehicle into its final resting place. as poetic as using 50k to light up a fire.
A commodity car means its value is for scrap parts and materials, that's it, the battery is destined for a landfill as toxic waste. How is this good the environment and how is this energy efficient? IT'S NOT!
@@martentrudeau6948 WELL they have a new multibillion program: "Removal of old batteries from landfills".
Maybe junkyards will turn them away, in case they catch 🔥
@@Ronick-Q-46 Or there will be special fire-secured junkyards - and they will have to pay them a high disposal fee..
Even gas car owner are now feeling it, i have been driving for 27 years, no accident, no claim at the insurance...but strangely this year my insurance raised from 122$ to 188$ per month with no reason. This is obvious that the insurer are now financing EV loss with gas car owner.
That’s nothing Bud, a family member with a Tesla was recently advised insurance was going up from 1.5 k to 3k a year , these EVs are an utter joke , and let’s not forget , battery and battery range degrades every year a small amount on an EV , and if your range was barely mediocre compared to an internal combustion engine vehicle , that is a huge turn off.
Add up all the other cons of owning an EV ….. they are utter rubbish.
Of course. Why are you surprised? We are paying for everyone else’s mistakes. Insurance companies want your premiums and then never hear from you again. If you get into an accident, REGARDLESS of whose fault it is, your two biggest mistakes are 1) you were there and 2) you reported it
What I have noticed is that they put the public chargers where people don't need public chargers. They're all over in the suburbs where people will just charge at home, but hardly any in the city.
There is a serious environmental problem with all the EVs parked because of expensive
repairs ! Writing off these EVs creates an environmental problem stashed in row after row on a big parking space because of the high cost from minor repairs to bigger damage !
Imagine the disaster if one of those damaged batteries decides to breakdown and go into thermal runaway.Not a very green eco friendly event
Considering the inability of charging infrastructure to match the quantity of EVs being produced - a relatively recent mismatch - I wonder why EVs are are selling at all. The hybrids, especially the EVs with hybrid backup like the Toyota Prime series are not more popular than straight EVs.
I suppose people who spring for Tesla Plaid are okay with the way they are fitting in. They are bought for their performance, not practicality, so how bad can it get for them. But for people wanting to get wherever they are going EVs have to be less than ideal.
I retired from a Fortune 100 electric company (okay... there is only one in Arizona but I don't feel right naming them on YT) and know more about electric infrastructure logistics than the average bear. The problem with EVs, in the immediate future, is not generation/load but distribution: getting bulk electric power where it is needed. The lead time for the hardware is indeterminate, but can run to many, many years. Surges in demand make the problem spectacularly worse. easily into decades. Nobody has enough of the hardware sitting around and everybody will want it at once.
I know one other thing: where money has to come from for these improvements. It varies by state, but here maintenance costs are borne by the company and capital projects (new or upgraded stuff) are borne by the ratepayers. For a planned project the provider files a request for rate increase with the Corporation Commission, which then looks hard at it. The members are elected, so decisions are typically made after the next election. Orders can be placed before approval because orders can be cancelled. Besieged suppliers would even welcome that, knowing the orders will come back when they can better provide the materials. These processes (and practical aspects of material supplies) mean long delays in such buildouts - decades at the minimum for being able to serve even a large minority of EVs. Just as well; not many of us can handle multi-thousand dollar (I am not exaggerating in the least) monthly electric bills. Residents of the Valley of the Relentless Sun know that being unable to cool their houses is dangerous and has led to deaths. Reality is a real B-buster.
One might ask: why is this aspect never mentioned?
Thank you for the nuts and bolts facts. People need to understand this.
So green!
110 year old electric car and a 2024 car has the same problem BATTERIES
The most expensive part in an ev is the battery. If the warranty doesn't cover it, it's a total loss.
EV'S SUCK!!!!
Yes, it was said that the best place for recharging EVs is at workplaces. The drain on the electrical grid is far less during that time and usually your car is inactive for a period of time.
This video exposes the big reason why EVs are failing: to be successful, cars needa robust used car market. The vast majority of motorists cannot purchase a new car-they buy when a vehicle is 2-5 years old-this age represents the optimum point to buy-you typically have another 7-15 years of useful life. And repairing an ICE is relatively easy-you can also install an engine from a wrecked vehicle. None of this exists for EVs-they are effectively worthless when the battery expires.
EV is disposable tech, like a smart phone...
10% mechanics are certified to work on less than 5% of the cars. How is that a shortage
We have entered the era of throw away cars. Good thing we are all rich and have no issue with that
What was that statement Toyota ceo came out with ? Oh yeah !! We are not going fully electric. Listen to the pros.
Hybrid vehicles are not less problematic the ICE vehicles. Hybrid's have an ICE engine as well as a Lithium Ion battery powered electric motor, this makes them far more complex than an ICE vehicle. An ICE car mechanic would have major concerns working on the EV components of the Hybrid.
Hybrid are more reliable than both BEV and ICE. Toyota Prius are the choice for taxi in many countries, good around town ( regen braking ) and super reliable and long lasting. Hybrid can get 40 mile plus range on battery ( PHEV maybe more ) and have no range anxiety on longer runs.
@@chrissmith2114 ~ See: Scotty Kilmer; Here’s Why Hybrid Cars Suck
@@martentrudeau6948 Toyota Prius has been around since 1997, many original ones still on the road and used as Taxis, which is the hardest work for any vehicle...
Hybrids are not as simple as ICE cars, because of their extra complexity they are more expensive than ICE vehicles. They are not greener than ICE vehicles nor are they emission free. They have all the same problems as EVs and are not as environmentally as friendly as ICE vehicles. Twenty year old ICE vehicles can be repaired and run as long as parts and fuel exist. Lithium batteries require hundreds of tons of raw materials mined and processed using petrol vehicles, coal, gas and oil powered powered plants to build and charge. A new Hybrid and BEV has a larger carbon footprint than a ICE vehicle. When the battery expires the vehicle is dumped in a landfill. Green policies are a threat to our freedom to travel.
@@martentrudeau6948 Hybrids have the same advantage as BEV in local travel, they can regenerate power back into the battery to slow car down instead of applying mechanical brakes that just waste energy as heat. This explains their continuing popularity as Taxis which Prius has been doing since 1997, and they are reliable and cover extremely high mileages. Plug in Hybrid can be driven on battery power for most normal trips up to 40 miles, and then the engine can take over for limitless range ( as long as petrol is available ). In short Hybrid have some of the advantages of BEV, but non of the downsides. It is also a lot cheaper to replace a hybrid battery than a full EV battery. I hate EV but would have a hybrid as my next car, my sister in law has a small Korean petrol electric hybrid hatchback and gets 45 to 50 mpg around town and over 60 mpg on a run.....
Just wait till governments across the world who rely on "fuel tax " to maintain roads.
ALL e.v. will pay a "per/milage use !" . Thats right , everytime you have to get your Tags , you will have to report milage and pay how much you have driven !!..
Lies an fukery kids 😅
It would be easier to just take an EV from the showroom to the junk yard and save people all the trouble.
EVs are like Bic lighters, disposable! As soon as it needs a battery, it can cost more to replace than the car cost new!!! DISPOSABLE!!!
There are no trained mechanics for EVs because EV manufacturers refuse to share the technology with anyone forcing you to go to the dealer for just about anything
And TESLA VOIDS your warranty and turns off your "RapidCharge option"-if anybody but a TESLA service center works on your car.Have fun when you need a $150 wiper blade!
This video is extremely biased. Its focus on the UK makes me wonder if many of these are British issues, however, much of this heavily depends on the manufacturer. I just read a study which was the latest of a few, not to mention one of traditional the car review shows I watch have tackled all of these and stated its brand dependent. New EVs actually have fewer issues than gas cars when it comes to legacy brands, especially as successive generations roll put. No, EVs do not need regular software updates, in fact some EVs don't get them at all. In the US, typically legacy automakers make dealers go through a training program to be able to sell EVs and this includes their service department, so they can always service those vehicles. Typically, for Fords for example, at least 2 technicians in their service department can handle the cars. The vast majority of these issues are with Tesla vehicles. Tesla flooded the market with EVs as the video stated, but zero support. Also, it's the insurance companies, not the owners, selling the cars with little body damage. Start up EV makers also are the ones that tend to have vehicles totaled (a word which was absent from this vehicle, making me wonder if it was research or just spit balled) more often due expensive repairs as they often make design choices with the cars that make them easier to store more batteries, but harder to fix. EVs by traditional automakers usually don't have these issues. The problem is, the vast majority of EVs on the road today are by start ups who don't really know how to make cars but can make EVs. That's the reason for the issues. However, according the general consensus is that EVs are far cheaper to operate and maintain that gas cars overall, and that has been repeatedly confirmed.
what is an ice car?
Internal combustion engine. Cars that runs on petrol/diesel/biofuel
One with spikes or chains on the tyres.
But I thought that Electric Cars don’t need service- aren’t they supposed to be perfect??
Everything needs maintenance. Evs MUST go back to the dealer for just about anything which means $$$$$$$
Nothing you can fix on an EV at home, the company has you over a barrel with your pants down. Do not mention that you 'rent' the software to run the car from the maker and have to pay for it every month.
EV 😂😂😂😂 while I’m driving my BMW 530D 2003 with 310K on the clock and super easy to maintain. With EV they look good on paper, real life they are 💩. Few people I know have EV’s are going back to ICE 😂😂👍🏼
Goodbye Tesla welcome back Toyota!👏👏😂
The big T is dead, long live the big T
EVs will be the paper napkin of the car world, one short use and pitch it.
Musk will quit making ev cars..
EV's aren't repairable, if it goes wrong the whole part need replacing
If the battery goes wrong the whole vehicle needs replacing.
I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf that I bought used in 2015. ALL that I have done is: charge it, fill tires with air, and replace windshield wiper blades. NO visits to a dealer nor a mechanic. A Nissan Leaf is the WORST of the EVs.
This is quite a contrast with my 2015 Subaru Forester. Every 6,000 miles change oil and filter, which I do myself. Every 30,000 miles for dealer service at $450. Every 60,000 miles to the dealer for a $1,000 service.
If I ever need to replace the Leaf battery, there is a service on Bainbridge Island that takes crashed Leafs and puts the often higher capacity batteries into older Leafs. However, I will likely replace the Nissan Leaf before I have to do ANYTHING.
My plan is to buy a Tesla in 2024 to replace my Subaru Forester and an Aptera to replace my Nissan Leaf. Please keep the FUD coming. I want my next EV purchases to be cheaper.
BUT EVs are good for the environMENT. They are totally convenient; for those who have time to burn, who can wait hours for charging, and love McDonald's (food?). They're "Safe and Effective" (now where have I heard that before?). OBEY. lol. Strength! GODspeed!
china, lets not talk about you in here
