- IT STARTED! The EV Market Is WAY WORSE Than We Thought! The EV market is in free fall at the moment. The EV market is collapsing and the EV situation is getting worse from month to month. People are about to see the biggest auto crash to date. The EV industry that was hailed as the future of transportation and the solution to climate change is now facing a devastating and unexpected problems. What triggered this unprecedented EV collapse? Who are the main players and victims of this historic event? And what are the implications for the millions of EV owners and investors worldwide? In this video, we will uncover the shocking facts behind the greatest EVs market collapse ever, and why it is way worse than we expected.

😊 Hey guys! We created the Chase Car channel to give viewers a broad overview of the upcoming new cars from the top car manufacturers. We are huge fans of pickup trucks of all sizes: compact, mid-size and full-size trucks. So mostly, we will cover new upcoming trucks, but besides that, here you can find a lot of content about new sedans and SUVs too.
The Electric Vehicle wave sooner or later will become huge, so this type of content might appear on this channel from time to time. But as we are still on the way to becoming fully electrical, we mostly cover fossil cars from many amazing brands.

The gov’t needs to get the heck out of the market. NOW!!!
that's not a government
@@vinnartaigh2076Yeah Dat's #Company #Companies #Companys
Right. Unless you are an oil company getting billions in govt subsidies. No prob there.
Yeh more money, debt is low lol
and you need a brain asap
50% depreciation in one year is a disaster.
That’s not the point, because EVs were too expensive to begin with. Now they are beginning to have a reasonable price. (Remember when the first cell phones were released, only rich idiots bought them. Now everybody can afford one.)
I very much is in part “the point”,
Resell value, has tanked, used EV prices have tanked, insurance rates have skyrocketed, why because that low maintenance idea? Ya that was a lie, the estimated mpg the government told you? Also a lie, and they got caught!
The clear lack of infrastructure to run this whole mess? Is not in place, all of this is exactly the point and it doesn’t matter how cheep they are.
Just to be clear!
Worse than iPhones
The climate caused by ICE cars is a disaster.
An oversize cell phone on wheels is not a car.
Most of the people buying them, had a daddy who paid for ten years of college.
and when the time came to LEAVE college, daddy was there with envelopes of incriminating photos and other evidence to ensure little diddums got "top marks" or what do they call it in academia? "honours" or something... alumni?
then daddy talked to his golf buddy, and little darling there got himself a nice cushy 28 mill a year bank manager type role...
If you want a small car for round town and can charge it at home fine , but if you want a vehicle that you can drive long distance in Forget it !!
Why on earth are you adding spaces before the punctuation marks?
@@poliziagrammaticale9430 Big boofey fingers I reckon
If you want a small car for around town, and can charge at home, but NOT in your attached garage, and you live where electricity is made from renewables, and you are rich enough to deal with higher initial price and massive first year depreciation, and you are rich enough to pay for more expensive tires every year or so, and you live where it never gets below zero, and you never drive on potholed or dirt roads where the battery can be damaged, and you are rich enough that you don't mind paying massive insurance payments because minor accidents can cause the car to be totaled due to battery or frame (gigapress) damage, and you never plan going a long distance, the an EV is for you. You are a rich city dwelling virtue signaler who needs to spend more time in nature, instead of showing your devotion to the "planet".
But would you still want it charging in your garage?! _No whammies! No whammies!_
EVs are really good as a #2 car. They can be charged at night when the electricity is cheap and as long as one house, they are really convenient.
So basically... Reality once again beats out idealism? Who would have thought? 🤔
Idealism? Ideology!😁
@@crazyedo9979 ~ Environmental earth science Ideology that is not based on empirical science , that is proven, tested and repeatable science, are just theories. Theories are not facts.

No second hand market
Zip! Zero! Nada!
I want to buy one, so where are they????
Yes there is
It warms my heart to see EVs failing.
Same here and i have one 😂😂 (forced to by work - only evs available)
Unfortunately we still have to Elect Politicians to change these Policies because the FACT is they knew it would take decades to FORCE a transition & they weren't in it for the MONEY. They are pushing EVs because they believe its profitable so we must Elect better Politicians & America needs to start with Trump in 2024. Trump is the only President i've heard call this climate change movement a HOAX. We need people like that to push back. Too many politicians talk about meeting the Left halfway which is exactly what the Left's goal is when they go to extremes. It's great that so many people are rejecting EVs but it's gonna take more.
You’re heart must be frozen then.
The damage to quality and quantity of car manufacturers is also fun to watch.
@@rogerdodger1790it was a good experiment, needs more developement
Who is going to pay the tax for road repair that I pay now each gallon of gas I buy? The roads will go to hell before they figure it out
NJ just passed a law that registration of an EV has a 4yr surcharge of $250 a year for 4 years up front, so they collect $1000 surcharge on every EV sale. The stupid aspect is that they also give a sales tax exemption on EV’s. That’s a $3,300 discount on a $50k sale. Why give a $3,000 tax discount but then add $1,000 to registration fees?
Floating boats look how they rock back and forth like a sledge hammer
that's also a lie the other side is using. How much does an average SUV weigh? How much Tesla weighs? You see, you are equally destroying the road and no one was going to fix it anyway.
don't worry, they are going to start taxing by mileage..which will require getting a module installed in your vehicle to spy on you. This will also apply to ICE vehicles. Planned to start in 2026. This means ICE will pay road taxes by the mile AND at the pump. Funny how that works out. It will of course also report other data, but that won't be disclosed, just like onstar is doing, amongst others. Oh, and it will also include the vehicle disabling off switch, just in case they decided you've been bad.
You aren't from around here
If people bought regular shaped cars instead of bricks. I do not want to drive any tonka toy. Carbon reduction is a false hope that needs to stop
Electrical power supply companies and recharging stations would not be able to cope if EVs were popular.
Good point.
They aren't able to cope now.
Joliet Illinois dud not allow a commercial truck charging station because it could consume more electricity that the local market supports for all uses
On the contrary, EVs are mostly charged during the night when there is overcapacity of electricity.
@@zeriousvolt1245
I love those plaza charge stations…
Every bay occupied with some nerdy guy reading a book or playing on his phone with a line up of teslas 40 deep….
Must be fun to spend a whole day at the charging station 😂😂😂😂😂
I havn't bought an EV because I can't afford one. I bought my Hyundai Elantra used for $13,000 with 14,000 miles on it a few years ago. I can't find an EV in that price range.
Until EVs support field servicable batteries there won't be a strong resale market for electric vehicles. The future batteries will improve, but at what cost? Military grade hardware? It took years and years for LED lightbulbs to replace incandescent. EV batteries won't be economical for $25,000 cars by 2030 - unless they come from China, and that will destroy the U.S. auto industry.
You were forced to buy petrol cars because the real EV price is $10k. The US gov push up EV prices to make you dependent on oil.
Good because I have no desire to buy garbage such as electric vehicles
Drive a Nissan for a true garbage experience !
The sooner the ev experiment fails the better.
Once again: It is NOT about environment or climate. It's about power and control. Write this hundred times as homework. Class dismissed.😁
All expert on Earth agree that the peak of oil production was in 2018. Since, oil reserve are decreasing. Nobody have the control or the power to change that.
Yeah, the oil companies had control for last 100 yrs !
LOL who could have seen that coming.!! I will stay with gas i will never buy any car or SUV i have to plug in to drive,.!!!
Well I’m sure the fires turned ALOT of people off… especially when the car literally turns in to death trap by locking you in it
Truck owners are Rational.... Enough Said!!!!
Not all truck owners...seen a Bro Dozer lately?

I’ll drink to that!🥃
"Smaller and cheaper EV"...with a 600 mile range and a
eh eh eh... it does,doesn't it?
@@josepeixoto3384 Yep , thought the same thing myself , we had a nice period where we could buy good cheap reliable vehicles that lasted a long time( ford laser was another , toyota corrola , and a bunch more ) , where cheap to service , and had just what the average person needs and not filled up with gimmicky shit , they even had jacks and spare tyres , and oh my gawd , .... a dash binnacle right in front of the driver , and knobs and buttons in convenient places so you did not have to look down at the stupid touch screen on the centre of the dash ( cough ... tesla :) ) , and asshole politicians tell us these useless forking EV things are the future ! :) :) not sure if serious !
A shitty Ev will not be in my future !
The Ford Escorts of that era had 47-55 litre fuel tanks. That's around 50 miles per gallon according to you. Sigh...
If you are a tradesman what point is an Electric Pickup used to charge your tool batteries if at the end of the day you cannot drive home from the loss of charge.
FFS Electric vehicles are NOT the answer to transport needs, reduce the emissions form the major producers; of which CARS are nowhere near a major part.
The emissions thing you mentioned is the ONE thing that nobody talks about. Car pollution is small potatoes compared to UNREGULATED DIRTY THIRD WORLD INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION and it makes no sense to complain about car emissions which are far less than industrial pollution which no one talks about. Why doesn't anyone want to talk about the massive elephant in the room? Even if cars didn't exist, china and india would still be polluting the shit out the world environment and no one seems to notice or care.
And it is just not possible to charge a 350 mile battery in a "desired" 20 minutes ,like you well said; required is a 95Kwh battery; at 220 Volts you need 95000/220, or 430 Ah; that is in 1 hour; in 20 minutes, you'd need 430 x 3. or 1290 AMPERES !!! at 5 Amps per mm2 of copper wire, you'd need 258 mm2 of copper wire, that is a diameter of 2 x sqrt(258/3.14), or 18 mm ,almost the diameter of a man's thumb,and you'd need 3 conductors for that, live, neutral and earth; that is next to impossible to handle and connect to the car, and if you'd want to charge up a few cars at the same time you'd need an incoming line as thick as a person's arm; on top of that, there exists no conector that handles that current without special bolts and tools,so, not practical at all.
And here is another: Lithium batteries, at present, only hold roughly ~200 to 265Watts per Kg of their total weight; 95000 W/265W is 358 Kg, or 790 pounds, a hefty payload to haul around all the time;
Diesel or gasoline are just hugely better in their energy content, in the order of roughly ~10000 Wh per Kg , or 35 times better, and you can refill the tank is 5 minutes,almost anywhere; so, i am not interested in BCs,Battery Cars,or Elecos, at all.
There you go thinking again. You would not quality for a job at EPA. Lol.
Edit needed: "only hold roughly ~200 to 265Watts per Kg of their total weight" Watts should be Watt-Hours or wH for short. Also, "of their total weight" is redundant when units are "per kG". But good job on pointing out how ridiculous it is for EVangelists to claim technology advancements can reduce charging times - like I've put out in my own posts, when EV batteries are the size of a dog turd, you still have to supply the kWh to charge them up. NOTHING can change that! Good day! : )
Well, you obviously haven't done any research on how EV's are charged, their architecture etc, or you are deliberately putting out false information.
EV's do not fast change at home, they trickle change, because like you acknowledge the power to supply that rate of charge isn't there. Luckily they don't need to change that fast, because they charge while the owner is home.
Fast charging obviously can't be done at low voltages for the reasons you have mentioned. The amps needed would require massively thick cables. This is why high voltages of around 800v are used. ICE cars are at best around 25-30% efficient. While an EV is around 90% efficient.
EV's are faster, cleaner, quieter. They require far less maintenance and don't poison the air we breath in towns and cities, which cause many respiratory health issues and increased deaths.
It is human nature to resist change, as we can look back in history and witness. I'm sure most people on this blog will disagree with what I have written, but that's ok, because better technologies always win out in the end.
P.S. I'm old, I love ICE cars, but I know they will be replaced by EV'S.
That is an undeniable fact!
@@grycripps- you haven’t grasped the fact EVs use massive amounts of electricity. 800V is the total voltage of the whole connected battery pack. When such a pack is fast charged; it still needs to charge off grid 220V. To charge fast that requires very large currents and thick expensive cables. The truth is ; batteries are an inefficient way to store energy compared to the high energy density of a tank of fuel. So you’ll say that since an EV is so efficient at using that limited supply it’s still great? Wrong. When the EV has to carry around its ton / fraction of ton battery - that’s not efficient. The only form of EV that makes any sense is the PHEV, which allows an ICE to be shut down in cities to help keep the air clean. Otherwise EVs are just a way to restrict freedom.
So, your argument to the weight issue is to add two complete power systems? Brilliant!
Will Tesla survive another year or two? It a one horse pony and the EV market is going to die. They can’t just go back to making ICE cars.
Before covid-19 Tesla stock was selling for like 23 a share. It was a big pump from pandemic money printing and EV subsidies.
I you should more worried about Toyota, Ford, Chevy and Stellantis which will be toast in 10 yrs !
@@user-rq1mk9hi4x not Toyota, they be here for ever. They refuse to make electric cars. The others are garbage anyway. There may be no US made cars in 10 years.
Biden has destroyed the automobile industry.
It's just my opinion of course, but less EV's being sold might also speed-up disinterest in them. Customers may feel like 'why should I be the guinea pig, let someone else take the financial hit'. Just my theory of course & it's sort of like the opposite of the Macy's rush, where people jump in and buy crap because they don't want to miss out. Price, Range, Recharging & Battery hours are just some of the hurdles before the public will be interested. Then you'll have issue with insurance, etc. This'll be fun to watch!
I always thought when BEV reached 1% of the national fleet people would get to know them and refuse them. It happened at 0.7% actually.
There's still a lot of green sheeples out there. EV adverts everywhere to tempt them, but the reality is slowly showing itself.
The Tesla "guinea-pig" has been around for 15 years, and electric cars since 1883.
You need to catch up mate. All of your assertions are being overtaken by someone in an EV.
Pleasing. EV's are nothing but oversize slot cars!
would not take an ev even for free
Neither would I. They are Dangerous!
Whoever thought that the ppl who use pick-ups would buy EVs needs sacking.
F150, mustang, silverado.....incredibly stupid choices for EVs.
@@simonhunter8338 across the pond Alpha Romeo are going all electic in the next model roll out thinking they'll save the brand. Utter idiots.
Especially after seeing the complete failure of HDs Livewire. Not that it’s a bad thing but a lot of HD riders are also truck guys.
You look at the history of EVs which had several “boom times” since the 1880s think we can all agree though this time has been different with the mandate by the UN and governments around the world together with shit charging infrastructure, ridiculous prices and the shit and dangerous battery “technology”. The sooner the EV market implodes the better.
Why is it most EVs look like the old Tin Plate Toy Cars! Not only crap looking but not suitable for purpose in most cases. How did Auto industry let Governments run their businesses? Think it might be several decades, or never, before E Aircraft can fly the world routes and they are huge emissions producers!
EV'S designed by soulless feelingless robots to be driven by numbdout soulless feelingless robots
Current EV's are stupid. They are way larger than they should be. Pure Electric Vehicles should be street legal Golf Carts made for going for groceries and big box retailers where the maximum range could be 40 miles and a maximum speed of 45 mph. This could be done with deep cycle lead acid batteries instead of the massive and expensive batteries currently being used. You should be able to replace the batteries at a Walmart automotive service shop while you are shopping. I guarantee those would sell very well because currently nothing like that is available. Currently our DOT standards simply do not allow those types of vehicles to be used on even low speed roads or around town where they would fit in perfectly. Instead the only choice is a very expensive and heavy vehicle that can travel at 70 plus MPH.
exactly. a little two seater for old adies to drive to church or the rifle range or whatever it is old ladies do now... leave it on charge for a week, go to the shops. then back again.
go to see old pearl or mabel that live too far away for any sane person to drive (15km..., lol)? well, can pull up to one of those places that does them battery things, two small boxes that some attendant pulls out, puts on a trolley, swaps them for something else... pay a small fee... service, charge... batteries get inspected, placed back on a charging rack... gets back home, leaves on charger for the next week...
works on scooters...
wanna drive an f150 lightning? you get twenty of those boxes, and you gotta swap em over every ten km...
Yes, you absolutely nailed it. Common sense is not common any more.
You can't fool all the people all of the time...
IIRC, should not count Rivian for anything, as their pick-up is the base frame for Amazon EV delivery trucks and Amazon owns half(all)of Rivian. Rivian doesn't need to sell one truck as they are basically in house to Amazon for their trucks
The dealers do not want to sell EVs because they cannot rip off customers charging them ridiculous repair work.
Did the federal government destroy the EV market?
Or the entire automotive industry?
The cult the owns the governments and corporations are pushing the EVs. The market for EVs wasn't there to begin with, because EVs can't replace ICE vehicles.
Technological limitation destroyed the market?
No, reality did.
The unspeakable powers that should not be own the governments and corporations are pushing the EVs. The market for EVs wasn't there to begin with, because EVs can't do what ICE vehicles do or replace ICE vehicles.
Right now wouldn’t touch an EV with a ten foot pole. Not ready for prime time.
The Hyundai is claiming that much, but they are lying.
Exactly. That recent test in Britain showed that the real range was around 75% of quoted range.
Common sense is more common than we thought!!
Will I ever purchase an EV?
Fughettaboutit!
We need big V8"s not a driving fridge...
I can't imagine the founders, when writing the Constitution, thought that "interstate commerce" would allow the Federal government to stipulate the design of wagons and buggies or the breed of horse used to pull it. The 10th amendment reserves this sort of thing to the states or people. Such overreach is how we waste money and divide ourselves.
Who thought selling the car before charging stations was out was a good idea. The infrastructure for gas took how many years, and they think overnight a new one can be built.
I see a different thing happening.
EVs are in general not sold through dealerships. More than half of US EV sales are Teslas, and Tesla does not use dealerships.
We see manufacturers revising their contracts with dealerships so EVs can be purchased online and delivered to a dealership for pickup.
If the dealership is only involved with handing over the car, it should not add more than a few hundred bucks to the cost.
Avoiding the dealer represents a $3000 savings per vehicle.
Because of this and similar factors EVs will generally be ordered online for you to pick up at a scheduled date - no opportunity for excess inventory.
Battery prices continue to fall, allowing the major EV manufacturers to drop prices while still making profits.
At this rate, EVs will cost less than ICE in about 2025/2026.
That is if ICE prices remain the same - but they will not remain the same because we have an excess of 1m ICE cars in inventory - they have dropped prices to sell inventory... ICE prices must go up after they clear the inventory for those companies to survive.
Seems inevitable to me.
EV's don't meet the transportation needs of 90% of drivers. That led me to make a prediction 15 years ago that EV sales would never top 10% of the market. That seems to be just where the collapse started. Once you've used up all of your fan boy customers (who will put up with the EV's shortcomings long term), you're done. The marginal sales that folks made out of curiosity dried up even faster as the word got around. They also don't meet the requirements of 99% of pickup drivers, which is why that collapsed first and fastest. Adam Smith's "invisible hand" at work again.
I've maintained all along that the government's talk about mandating EV's, and the industry willing to bet the farm on an ICE ban, would be a major disaster. Once you've "untooled" ICE production, it's much harder to tool up again, and this is an industry that is responsible for some 20% of our GDP. The government might be able to mandate what car companies can build, but they can't mandate what consumers will buy. All an ICE ban would do is create a massive black market in gas-powered vehicles.
RIVIAN screwed up by not slow walking an affordable model
For the green transition, it is more important that batteries are used for energy storage. But that development of better EVs is still surging ahead, while virtually no improvement has been done to ICE cars the last 30 years.
Small compact evs was the way to start the Chevy bolt was a hot seller but they took it off the market cause big electric problem bring the Ev compacts on to solve congestion to
The chevy Zippo burner? Worse fire record than a Ford Pinto?
Cause of crappy engineering, doesn’t bode well for Chevy !
tesla stock down again yesterday. 3.6% minus lol. at this rate they will be bankrupt soon
If the left wins the next election taxpayers will bail them out. Which will skyrocket inflation.
A recent Gallup US survey showed that only one-sixth of people either owned or would seriously consider purchasing an EV. Another one-third would consider it, and one-half would not consider purchasing an EV. The market for EVs is nearing saturation, unless huge strides in cost and performance can be achieved very quickly.
Introduction of new technology should always be left to market forces and not dictated by laws. The whole idea of forcing people to switch to EVs is causing pain and financial loss.
Ban all EVs
Really sad. Just went to Missouri in my 2006 Pacifica 440 miles on a tank at 70-80 MPH. Only stopped one time GA to Missouri over 600 miles.
Drove a Tesla the other day , felt like driving a sewing machine with a hint of washing machine on spin cycle .

Sixty-thousand-dollar golf cart that isn't legal to carry your clubs on the course.
I said this years ago and I'll never stop saying it, EVs are luxury vehicles, sell them for 20K without govt subsidies or GTFO with the environmental mumbo jumbo.
well said, it was supposed to be a simple setup, of battery and motor, not loaded with electronics paraphernalia beyond belief, that not even the dealer can repair; i read that a bottom scrape, under the car,will be a write off, due to the danger of the batteries,that are right there, starting on fire
Luxury golf carts.
OEM trying to turn all cars into fully loaded luxury vehicles .CANT find lower priced models cause they don’t make them . Stop the nonsense they catch on fire . Ice vehicles catch fire every day . Listen to the traffic reports . Always reportiing traffic backups cause of car fires
We have to have a Smog test every two years to make sure our vehicle isn't poluting. Our air quality has improved greatly. All EV's makes no sense at all.
I had a Buick Lacrosse hybrid. Because of the many travels i do, i wanted to upgrade range. I looked at many EVs and the only one i found was the Lucid. A large full size luxury automobile is what i prefer and not provided by EVs. Range is 500 miles but they wanted over 100K for it. So i got the large luxurious Jaguar XJL. I paid 41K for 570 miles of range which is a hell of alot better than 100K for 500 miles of range. Paid off. I fuel up once a month at 3 minutes...Ok, 5 minutes because i godda run in and grab a coffee. Come out with EVs with these fine qualities and improvements, now we're talkin, I'll be the first one at the gates to buy one immediately! If china can come out with EVs that offers over 600 miles of range, so can the United States. Since long range EVs dosent exsist in the United States of America, I'll keep my jaguar XJL and leave well enough alone....
If EVs are so bad, then allow Chinese cars in U.S.
We already have enough uncontrollable fires.
Hell. The very first gas-powered vehicles didn't get off to a very good start. Unreliable & you didn't see very many gas stations around.
Legacy makers have not really tried to compete. Still making ICE vehicles mostly and just offering a few EVS as well as still maintaining a dealer network means they will likely NEVER be able to compete. Tesla makes nothing but EVs and has NO dealers so they are ALWAYS cheaper. Also their increasing manufacturing makes their vehicles cheaper as they go along. Aside from that Tesla makes a LOT more profit on EVERY sale and the more they make the cheaper they are. Legacy makers are not selling whereas Tesla does not have that problem. Sadly the legacy makers have been watching Tesla for 10yrs and are still doing things the way they did 100yrs ago.
evs not the answer, better options are being developed.
Is it that the tech is not quite ready, or is it that the manufactures deliberately made them bad to give the tech a bad name?
I wonder what percentage of trucks are sold to suburbia and never used for work? Around here they are just luxury status symbols.
The problem is, once those trucks get older, the used truck market is for people who will actually use them to work and haul and that market won't exist. Can't exist.
yeah, luxury, fools and their money will soon be parted ,lol
@@robertkubrick3738even more tragic is the poor and lower middle class drive used older vehicles. EVs won't last to fill this need.
@@GIUL7301 So true.
My first boss (I was new engineer in heavy manufacturing plant) told me pioneers are people you find on the trail with arrows in their back.

Companies should follow the market, not government injunctions
Who wants a 50k car?
Any idea what the median income is?
Clearly not!
People are complaining about charging problems when there is less than 1% electric vehicle on the road, wait till it is about 30% if it ever happens.
The hard push sounds as effective as "Operation Warpspeed" but without the myocarditis.
for me it looks a bit like this. 43 km to work so that makes it 86 km round trip, if the car only gets 150 km range i have to charge it every day.
compare that to say a Toyota Aygo, it drives 20~ km/l with a 35 litre fuel tank, so refuel 1 a week.
not to mention price of the car to start with
They had so many plans, it's a pity they didn't do enough market research or offer us a practical vehicle. But instead they gave us a disposable cell phone on wheels.
You forgot a bunch of stuff. Piss poor resale value, high maintenance costs, high insurance costs, reduced range in cold weather, charging problems, poor build quality, to name a few problems and why they don’t sell. Did I mention fires?
What nobody has even mentioned is that most car buyers, probably over 90%, buy USED. And almost all of those are gas powered vehicles. A huge percentage of U.S. car buyers buy used cars in the $10,000 and under range, and those are ALL gas powered. People are hanging onto their gas powered cars much longer, with many paying way over their cars market value to keep them going. I just had the engine and transmission replaced in my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis, which had over 400,000 miles on it. It cost way over the market value of the car. But now that car will likely last the rest of my life. The cost of the engine and transmission replacement was peanuts compared to the price of ANY new vehicle, and ALL new vehicles are absolute GARBAGE, not to mention being loaded down with spy devices and driver interference systems. People are even pulling older cars out of junkyards and rebuilding them, because there is nothing acceptable in the new car market. You couldn't GIVE me a new car, even a gas powered one.
EV is a nice idea; it just needs two things to MAJORLY improve it; internal and external infrastructure. One, give us batteries that are more stable and longer lasting, as well as improved charging and modulation electronics/software to accommodate said batteries. Two, give us a reliable external infrastructure to match that of existing gasoline and ICE cars (more numerous charging stations). Just conquering those mere two caveats would boost a more positive public reflection of EV overall…
Ask an EV owner, it's the future, I would say you'll be hard pushed to find many EV owners that will not like it and I mean owners not leasing.
Financing a ev at 10+% interest rate that will decrease in value by 50% really isn't desired

The big three auto makers could do a lot better at making EV cars and trucks, but they have been paid by the oil industry for decades to stay away from EV’s and now they’re trying to catch up with Tesla and failing miserably. Batteries will continue to get better and cheaper and solar power will continue to grow. I’d love to have a Ford Lightning truck but not until they fix their software and lower the price by at least one third to one half. There’s no reason why they should cost so much to make.
The problem is there was enough market for Tesla and then all these other companies started but they don’t build good cars so they ruined it for the only one that was building a half decent car
Simple. If you can't charge your overpriced EV at home . Or have to wait for charging station and then waiting more than an hour to charge your EV . Then why buy it ?
2nd hand EV s are soo bad because of battery longevity... then why buy it?
The whole situation is that governments, lobbies and companies were /are pushing it down to our throats those EV . Albeit EV s are being made more than 100 years ago... so why buy it ?
Repairs and battery changes are too expensive also, most EV A/S are bad. So why buy it ?
Hybrid car will be my next car . A Toyota or Kia
I'm absolutely loving the EVS demise 😊
I concur.
EV's are toxic and are a future environmental threat and disaster waiting to happen.
EVs make great sense for some people but for the other 80% of us they don’t. A free market would reflect demand not mandates. For many people they don’t have a home where they could actually charge their car slowly overnight. Who wants to spend 1.5 hrs waiting while their car charges when u can fill up an ICE in 5 minutes and there are gas stations everywhere. Fast charging is also hard on batteries. I also imagine the price of electricity will sharply rise as demand rises and I also have to imagine car insurance on EVs (which is already high) would only increase as less and less ICE vehicles exist to offset loses. Probably homeowners insurance will also go up due to the fire risk of having home charging. EVs are heavy and tire wear is much greater and they are tougher on our roads too. Some of these trucks are 3 tons!
There’s nothing wrong with the EV market, except high price and bad batteries.
I want to buy an EV, but for a reasonable price, and with a reliable battery. Where are those cars? I don’t see any in the car stores. This story can’t be true.
How long have we been saying this? Decades.
Yesterday, I saw a Tesla M3 with minor dents on multiple body panels. Beater EVs are out there. Will a how-to develop to self repair EVs? I am not aware of any mechanics shop that specializes in EVs. Thats the "infrastucture" that is missing.
Tesla actually cut prices to get as many models as possible under the $80K limit for qualifying for the $7500 Federal tax credit.
The problem is that the EV mandate was put in place when mass adoption was possible, but well before mass adoption was feasible.
The two problems are charging infrastructure and battery technology. The problem with the charging infrastructure is that the charging stations do not produce enough revenue to justify investing in them. The battery technology problem is that there is not enough lithium to support an EV mandate and batteries that store their energy in a combustible electrode is a bad idea. All cells that discharge by pulling atoms from an electrode and recharge by plating atoms onto an electrode face the problem the electrode starts out smooth, but gets rougher and rougher with each discharge/recharge cycle. Better production quality delays the failure of the cell, but the cell will always fail. In a lead acid cell, this bulges out the battery case and, with one shorted out cell, the battery is no longer capable of cranking the engine to start. In a lithium cell, the result is usually a catastrophic fire. What is needed is a cell chemistry that does not store the energy in the electrodes, but in the electrolyte. The electrolyte based energy storage allows for the possibility to pump out the discharged electrolyte, pump in fully charged electrolyte, and recharge the electrolyte separately from the vehicle.
Only way it could work is each EV has solar panels to self charge and some form of wind or turbine charging while driving.
Otherwise its a no-no - esp in cold cloudy weather.
EV’s… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The government anticipate the Chinese are going to conquer the market with EV cars with cheap EV and therefore tried to cut back what a jealous reason.
Really the only problem the EV market has is insufficient government mandates. Once the bureaucracy takes over and buying an internal combustion engine vehicle is a capital offense and EV purchasers receive a $1 million stimulus check for buying required EV’s the EV market will rebound and the funeral home business will become very profitable growth area in our economy.
Tesla increased its inventory by 45k to 300k unsold Teslas in Q1 2024. Q2 2024 first week YoY decline of Tesla sales in China was 85% (WoW 89%).
Good. Time to bring up something else than stupid battery
It was crazy to focus on pick ups. What was needed was cheap commuter vehicles that people could use as second car/run about. Cut the pollution in cities and concentrate the charging network. After that the emphasis could have shifted to general purpose/rural vehicles. The hype just exceeded the current battery capability and charging network. I would envisage that current battery technology will be obsoleted in 5 years. So many better options are in the pipeline.
The bigger issue is that there has to be enough capacity in the electric grid for everyone to charge their car and there are now times when fast chargers can't fast charge so your 20minute 300kw fast charger only charge at 40kw so that 20minute charge to 80% now takes an hour and half.
Dealers don’t want to sell EV’s because A.) dealers don’t make money in selling cars. They make money on subscribing people to logbook maintenance subscriptions you need to keep your car running and under warranty. EV’s don’t need servicing. And B.) they’re giving an opt out option.
The best selling EV’s in the world aren’t sold through dealerships. So the evidence is there.
The EV market has reached its saturation level, and the market is severely over supplied. It's not that dealers don't want to sell EVs. It's just the majority of the public simply doesn't want them and can't even remotely afford them. EVs were over hyped, and have under delivered on the hype. Tesla is not the most valuable automotive company in any actual real world terms. It's just propped up by it's over valued stock price. In reality, Tesla is fragile company that is heavily dependent upon emotions, propaganda, and fan boys to keep it propped up. As the EV hype meets EV real world reality, Tesla will continue to struggle to maintain sales volume and profitability. Selling its carbon credits to other manufacturers is the only thing contributing to Tesla's profitability not the vehicles it sells. Unlike other automakers, Tesla is a one trick pony. The only sell EVS. As EV demand wanes, so will Tesla. Charging station availability and charging times are big issues for EVS, but they're not the biggest real world issue. What's not often talked about is the increase need of available electricity. It's estimated that there would be a need to increase electrical production by about 40% nationwide. This would accommodate the mainstream adoption of EVs especially at the target levels currently being discussed. Already, there is not enough electricity production for the current level of EV adoption.
Convert homes to solar, problem solved . Which prices are dropping every year, tremendous change in 10 yrs
He just said it all. "The government had a plan".
So electric car sales growth rose by 15%. Wow, sounds impressive until you realize that EVs make up about 1% of U.S. cars, so the 15% growth is still just a small fraction of a percent. Doesn't sound so impressive when you say it like that.
Surely for most people way better than we thought with EVs having such limited appeal. Nowadays any supposedly popular opinion we are told that we all believe in is usually held only by a tiny minority of people who just force it on others.
