I watched this report, interesting that there was not a balanced report on the environmental challenge with "oil" extraction. The pace of development and advancements in technology is amazing. Battery tech seems to advance daily which means it is only getting better. The after market battery business is going to be amazing, as batteries loose the ability to hold a charge at high levels, the new ones coming out will be much more advanced and better capacity. I own two EV, car and a truck and would not move back to an ICE. Every morning both vehicles have a full charge, no smell, no mess. Instead of spending $400+ a month for fuel, I spend $34-$38 a month on electricity. No to mention that I have solar but all charging is at night. Cost wise, no comparison (EV are so cheap to drive), drive wise, ICE cars can not compete. Range, sure the 1,000 mile battery is not in mass production but it's coming. Charge speeds are rapidly increasing. So you stop a bit more now, enjoy the journey. Its worth it. Take a good look at all facts and not just opinions, I drove my first EV 6 months before buying my Truck (Ford Lightning) Love the ride and power
May I respectfully suggest Autoinsights 101 before posting another segment take a look at the Electric Viking (Sam Evans) your report was correct if it was 2004 almost every statistic you mentioned was in correct. Today on car sales Aust MG EV $26.000 including all on road costs and tax. Batteries are outlasting the life of the car. Range 1000klm becoming common. Manufacturers guarantee after 10 years still 85% charge.I think you need more research on your posts.
Aside from the drive train EVs are the same as ICE vehicles It is not contested that electric motors are better in all metrics than internal combustion engines, not by people with solid understanding of the engineering of both Performance, Efficiency, Size*, Weight, and environmentally The area of concern is the battery, However, today's batteries are sufficient for most people's needs The batteries generally outlast the car and are safer than Petroleum feuls The charging time is a concern for some with a charge time of 15 to 60 minutes, However, for home charging that concern evaporate when you only have to plug and forget The Petroleum industry is promoting a lot of misinformation and disinformation about renewable energy and EVs to protect the trillions of dollars in profits that is in the ground
1. New tech is more expensive, production cost will go down over time. 2. Many EV's get 8-10 years 75% battery capacity warrenty, yes batteries does degrade, however what kills batteries is temperature, and the new EV's will heat / cool them if needed, giving batteries a long life, and battery cost will go down. 3. Charging infrastructure is on the rise - maybe not for the Iceroad truckers but moslty everywhere else. 4. Most people will be able to charge their cars when its night, and well taking a break on long journeys is not so bad, might even prevent accidents. 5. Charging cost can be more expensive? where I live sometimes the price on electricity is free due to overproduction on the grid, most of the times it's cheaper IMO, but yes ofc someone needs to pay for the charging infrastructure network. 6. Better battery tech is coming, it will flip to the EV advantage, it will get the longer range. 7. Extreme cold I agree that the fossil fuel maybe better but then we are back at the iceroad trucker, Alaska, Northpole places for it to be unuseable. 8+9. Problem is recycling and that cost money, I do agree there is a problem here, but fossil fuel cars also pollute, exhaust gas is also linked to Lung cancer. 10. Buy an EV if you can find something that fit your needs. It is the future.
Extreme cold drops the range bacause some energy is used to warm the battery to its correct operating temperature. Norway wich is nthe country with the mmost sewvere weather has almost 100% ev sales (a few diesel cars/trucks asre still sold) It's car feet passed 50% this month so replacement of the ICE is happeneing much faster than anticipated). So there is a full country that proves that range decrerase is not that important.
WARNING : All the video is misleading information. Please look at battery manufacturing process (for example Tesla). Energy agencies, and other studies from environmental agencies. And ev car driven 15,000m miles per year reachs CO2 parity in 10.4 months according to the most recent study that was done at England an ev ev was foud to get parity at 12,000 miles of driving (one year in Europe) Well know ev manufacrturers have lower prices than ICE cars in the US. Battery breplacement. Old battery packs last 300,000 miles, double the desing life of an ICE car. New types last 500,000. This year batteries ready for 2025 will last 1,000,000 million miles and will carry a warrantee for "life" (66 years of driving). NO ICE car can offer that. Charging stations in the US? 1,000 are added every week. Charging time? I have never charged outside home. A frequent traveler can charge a new car in about 15 minutes, shorter than a "pit stop" needed anyway. Charging cost? Depends a lot on the private company. Those with exhorbitant prices will be out of ther market very soon. Yes you cab spent more using those places, but there in contras are other free recharge placess too. Where can you find free gasoline? Rabge anxiety was conceived by the anti ev movement. Soft ware in all new ev have route planning so you never get out of range to charging stations. All done by the car. Performasnce in cold weather. NORWAY has more severe weather than any US city. They are aproaching 100%ev sales (there are same diesel trucks on the road) The leet of cars in Norway passes 50% ev this month, so the old ICE cars are replaced due to threir masintenanance cost, and fuel cost.

Information is already obsolete since the Cyber Truck is the most sold ev Truk during the first 6 month of the year by a wide marging. The best selling car is the Toyota Rav 4, with 2.8% market share but by the end of this year the best selling will be an EV(Tesla Model Y also at 2.8%) The Toyota sales are diminishing while the Tesla Model 3 is rising Model Y continues as the best selling car in the world.
No they are not as good as they seem, they are far better than that, naturally talking about Tesla and no others. Been driving one for a long time and I can guarantee you that they come from some other far more advanced civilization.
VW is closing two ICE plant in China with a combined capacity of 2/1M cars. One is the most modern plant in VW with a caopacity of 1.7M vehicles. ICE cars are not selling in China. VW used to sell 40% of their total productuion there with 50% of their profits. They will go bankrupt in 3 years if they can not save 11million euros. GM is selling (and decreasing) 1 million ICE cars (down from 4 M about 4 years ago). Stellantis is in trouble, and so is Ford. Same for all Japan manufacturers except Toyota as of today. Wait 2 more years/

Will look into this and post an updated video if required.

No. A video coming in favor of EVs as well. Just putting facts out there.

Farzad, is that you? LOLOL.
EV will save ICE that will be a weekend toy.

The problem is that ev cars is shit. To expensive and to dangerous. No one wants a used ev. Call it the most stupid idea. 😢
