- Sky News host Rowan Dean says the BBC has admitted the electric vehicle market is “collapsing”.
BBC economics editor Ben Chu says EV sales in the West “are down” and people need to buy “a lot more” of them to hit climate targets.
“Just as Australia and Chris Bowen are rushing ridiculous legislation which will force dealers to try and persuade you to buy an EV,” Mr Dean said.

Here in America you can’t even charge the vehicles because thieves keep stealing the charging cables from the charging stations for the copper inside them or robbing the people waiting to be charged.
That's America. Our public charging infrastructure here are getting better and better. Besides home charging is super convenient.
@@kamsunleong6648 It's still doomed, not enough power generated to meet their stupid targets. 100's of thousands of cheap Chinese Ev's blocking up the ports. Sales of Ev's in general drying up. It's all pathetic, I almost find it funny.
Politicians speak on advice. They themselves have no knowledge. Therefore, the future targets they express publically is based on someone elses sayso.
Turning up at a charging station with the cable missing due to theft or being robbed while waiting for it to charge up are about the only interesting parts of EV ownership.
Well, to be fair, lots of copper is needed in the market to manufacture charging cables for all of those stations that have lost theirs.
5 years before this they banned 100watt light bulbs because of the environment… what changed now that all electricity is seemingly free and GREAT for the environment? 🇬🇧
The EV market is falling apart faster than a Chinese motorcycle .
A lot of
Chinese made products work, whereas many to all German products I’ve used faulter and faulter .. balance out your whines
I'm keeping my gas guzzling 4wd. Its great for the plants.
I'm still driving my xtrail from the early 2000's, hasn't missed a beat and I happily refuel it with petrol when needed, no line up, no charging overnight or for hours at the charge-bay,, no limit on km travelled, and petrol stations available every where 🚙⛽😂and I'm not travelling on jet planes any where near as much as some politicians ✈️
@@user-zd3xs4ts6f you sick bastard, good job!
Everyone who could afford them already has one, and the rest of us were deeply unimpressed, both by the downgrade in quality, and the doomed-to-failure idea of government attempting to influence the free market. ICEs are here to stay.
Global EV sales are up, price parity in 2025 will cause EV sales to rocket.
@@rattusfinkus Global EV sales are in the toilet, they will never reach price parity as more and more car manufacturers stop making them. Like Volkswagen and BMW have already done. A niche market, already saturated and failing.
@@AximandTheCursed keep to the facts. Sales of EVs globally are up year on year.
Legacy auto made a half arsed attempt at EVs and have failed, that's why they have conceded the EV market to China and Tesla.
@@rattusfinkus You mean the fields of unsold EVs rotting in Chinese fields that make up nearly 90% of the EVs on the planet? Legacy auto were forced to make EVs by government policy, and nobody wanted the overpriced nonsense. And if China tries to sell their shoddy deathtraps overseas, hello, tariffs!
As for Tesla, just look at how their infrastructure is treated, and that's before acknowledging that they are poor replacements for the vast majority of ICEs at any level. You really think they'd be laying off as many staff as they are if things were going gangbusters?
@@AximandTheCursed those fields of EVs we mostly ride share company cars. Have a look at the current unsold lots of VWs and GM cars in China.
You don't have a clue what's coming. China will dominate car sales in Australia and many other places very soon. Do you know how many brands from China will be on sale in Australia in 2025? You're in for a shock.
We don’t want an EV, ever
So if technology gets to point where it takes the same time to fill your battery as it does to fill your tank and the charge points are in the same locations as the fuel pumps you still prefer the noisy and polluting method of transport?
@@pary327 Are you suggesting that EVs and all the green stuff don't pollute then?
@@oldbloke204 in terms of exhaust emissions, no EVs do not polute. The production of the electricity which charges EVs is increasingly produced by wind and solar. In the UK we have genrated over 50% of our power at times from renewables and that will keep increasing over time.
@@pary327 And how much extra pollution is imbedded in the battery and it's manufacture?
How much less polluting are they if they burn or get written off much more easily than ICE vehicles?
Buy one if you like but I'd rather not waste my money thanks.

Their days are numbered. Here in Asean the transition is well under way. Petrol subsidies will stop one day. To gas up will cost a lot more.
Why ICE forever? I suppose there were some people back in 1908 chanting at Henry Ford "you will never take our horses"

We won't own an EV, ever
It is predicted that the earth's fossil fuels will run out in this century. Oil can last up to 50 years, natural gas up to 53 years, and coal up to 114 years. Yet, renewable energy is not popular enough, so emptying our reserves can speed up.
Dear Rooster,
Your statement had me rolling around the floor in laughter.
Clearly you have a sense of humour and wit.
Your at step 9 of ten from owning a EV.
The previous 9 steps include your battery powered phone, your tooth brush, your power cordless, trimmer, whipper snipper, power trill, portable speakers, drone, need I continue.
Your might even have an electric skate board, cycles or scooter.
So although your comment shows defiance towards EV's your about to fall into the EV crevasse, but nice try, hilarious.
@@recurvearcher6542 So tell me, where are people going to get the money from to be able to afford an EV ? An EV work ute costs $250 000.
@rhyno1740 Thank you, you are right, not everyone can afford a new vehicle, particularly when we are confronted with new technology posing concerns and doubts.
Hell, even large car companies are wrestling with it, do we keep building ICE, do we build Hybrids, do we build pure EV's.
One thing to me that is crystal clear, the motoring public will decide.
I've never in my 72 years, seen so much development put into EV technology as we are seeing today.
Batteries, electric motors, self driving, AI . Ice never had so many developments in such a short span, ice 114 years EV 20 years.
Your pick up ute, at $250.000 yes that's bloody expensive, but costs of manufacturing, materials general efficiency, competition will bring these cost down, history in automotive prove this.
Remember, this is great technology. It's not perfect, but neither was ICE 114 years ago, but here we are.
In the next years, even 5 more the picture will look a lot clearer, its an exciting time, enjoy the ride.
@@recurvearcher6542 Unless they are only a few thousand $$$$ most people want be able to buy one. The majority don't want one anyway, including me. I will still with my ICE car, and as far as AI is, they can shove that where the sun don't shine.

Australia, if you have to power to stop this EV train wreck, act now.
The trouble is that the politicians are ramming it down our throats regardless of who we vote fore for and how much we protest.

Australia is years behind many other countries, held back by Neanderthal attitudes, all to its own detriment. Head in the sand Muppets who oppose EVs are too stupid to see Australia is sitting on a mountain of money that they want to get rid of - world's largest supply of lithium, large supplies of rare earth metals needed for batteries and electronics, world leading solar potential, world leading wind potential, and the chance to stop sending $100 million (EVERY DAY) to the Middle East and put it into Australian energy companies instead.
My cat honked up her lunch on the floor, it must have been climate change.
im never buying an EV !my little 1 liter car is way better for the planet
I’m sorry it’s just not
@@tssssL3R I'm sorry it just is.
Hi Boris,
My exact sentiments, your 1 litre, represent years of engine development certainly 114 years, when Mr Ford built the model T in 1909. Further developments in performance and size and efficiency in manufacturing resulted in the engine you admire. To fully appreciate this marvel in technology we must go back even further, perhaps some 13,000 years when we as hunter gatherers, started farming, and learned about minerals creating metals.
The EV engine was born from this same DNA that gave you the 1 litre engine. Sure, it's electricity, not petrol, but its purpose is exactly the same, that is, to power a vehicle carrying you to wherever you wish to go. In just some 20 years, not 114 years huge technology strides have and will continue to develop. In merely 5 more years, range, price, efficiency, power and convenience will way surpass anything a ICE could ever do.
Sure there's issues, as there was in 1909, I for one wouldn't want to give up my horse, for this noisy smoking contraption, but we eventually put our horses out in the paddock.
Enjoy the ride, you will never experience it again in human history in motoring.
@recurvearcher6542 You sound like an EV car salesman. Which is probably what you are. Just on here trolling.

EVs are an alternative to public transport for the smug elite who can not bear being near the lower classes. They are not an alternative to a real car for people living in Australia.
LMAO. .it never started , they have been lying about them from the start.
There are up to 5 year old EV's unsold and also the used EV market is so poorly performing as people go back to ICE engines. When trump gets in it will be game over for the EV market.
Ofc. He first needs to be elected. (but I don't think that he can loose, except thanks to others such as the media).
Game over for America.
The rest of the world is going EV. If America doesn't follow it won't invest in EV infrastructure so it won't sell non-US cars. And of course US Auto won't invest in EV, so won't sell abroad.
As a result USA Auto will go bust and the USA will have no car market. Keep up or suffer the consequences.
I couldn't afford to buy one, or charge it, or insure it...apart from that there's nothing stopping me 🤣🤣

And this is not an exaggeration.

Biden wouldn't have imposed 100% tariff if there's no demand for affordable evs in America. Without a high wall protection, Detriot could be history. The fear is real.

Short range and unaffordable. Ice vehicles getting more efficient.
ICE is lucky to see efficiency gains of 1% so they still waste 70% to 80% of the energy they use.
Blame Rowan Atkinson........it's all his fault so they say!!
Haha they will blame someone for sure.😊
Simple market forces…….they are very expensive. Most people don’t have off street parking with overnight charging facilities.
I don’t have charging station in my apt. I charge once every week in a charging station. Takes me 30 min which I take the time to do a little work on my laptop. I can get 400 -500 km on one charge on my Tesla . I drive 30-50 km a day. I don’t need to charge it everyday

Bruh. Its coming to midpoint 2024. EV sales here in Asean are just taking off. You can stick with your polluting gas guzzler. But here, petrol price is gonna go up soon when our government ends their subsidy.
"They are not safe". There are frequent ice vehicles combusting on our roads. You are basically driving on top of a highly flammable gas tank. A leak or a rupture could spell disaster.
How's that going? Have you seen how the battery prices are falling, EV prices are falling and EV production is ramping? Do you know how many new EV brands are coming to Australia in 2024/2025?

At one point they were cheap to run, charging costs were low. The inevitable happened and the charging costs went up massively so its not far off petrol prices now at service stations. It's cheaper to charge at home but not everyone has a driveway and home charger. The only reason anyone was interested in these was super low running costs.
EV's a TRASH cars. A long time ago, their was this big argument amongst a group of people I knew, who wished they never had EV's and went for fuel, when a supervisor wanted to go home and the car wouldn't start, becuase it's battery was flat as it wasn't charged up.

EVs are a good idea in concept, however the battery storage technology is not there yet. Lithium-ion will cause a huge environmental impact when we have to dispose of it. Interesting the first EV was in the 1920s.
Batteries are here baby, look and the Shenxing plus and the qilin batteries
@@rattusfinkus yes I know this technology, I have not yet done any design work with them. The nickel manganese cobalt has some promising potential. The issues remains safely disposing of the batteries after end of life. These days the design cycle includes end of life disposal. I believe we are not too far from a good battery chemistry but for the moment not yet. I wonder about all the homes that have lithium ion batteries as part of their solar system. If you have not declared this in your house insurance and they catch fire you might not be covered.

Yes I agree and cigarettes not being extinguished cause even more fires. My point is lithium based batteries are not safe. I have even seen car parks banning electric vehicles from parking. This unfairly gives EVs a bad reputation. A better chemistry will emerge.
The evs are expensive and expensive to change batteries batteries don't last hard to charge junk and worse resale value.
There are ev taxis running around in Chinese cities for more than 8 years clocking up hundreds of thousands of km in mileage, without having to change their batteries. New battery tech means they last longer without degradation. Should keep up with the latest innovation.
The are low mileage, fire bombs that require extensive specialised equipment to put them out. A car after 3 days completed submerged in water can still burn. They are also 4 times more expensive and require trades experience in computer technology and
engineering to fix meaning owners can’t repair minor issues with a degree
I don't dislike the idea of an ev... They can work perfectly for a lot of people... It is just that they don't work for my present use case.
Maybe in the future they will work for me but for now, they don't
abolish ULEZs as well UK!
Hybrid vehicles are the current leaders with massive fuel savings and reduced emmisions both positive attributes.
With many new Hybrid utes coming to Australia next year the market for Hybrid vehicles is only getting bigger.
The point where I would consider buying an EV is getting closer though. The goal of sub half an hour charge times with no battery degradation until around two hundred thousand miles should be attainable.

In a capitalist system you have capitalist solutions. EV is a prime example of this where its more important to make money than actually find a lasting solution.
The depreciation rate on the value of these Electric propelled automobiles is ghastly, also the life-span of the batteries while decent is render mote due to the immense cost of replacement. The closest to electric vehicle most Australians will go is a hy brid car.
Depreciation is high because EVs are getting cheaper, soon they'll be cheaper than ICE
There's a Rap star with a name something like ludicrous. Like this present FUD article. New paradigm, new rules. The ICE age IS over.
A far more sensible option would have been to focus on turning petroleum into methanol or ethanol and then using fuel cells in cars, rather than burning these fuels.

True that. It now seems to be a scary reality. Since the planet started warming, about every first weekend in October the evenings get markedly hotter than even the week before. This continues on until the first weekend in April and then, for some strange reason, the evening temperatures stabilise again.

Where is it collapsing, because sales are still rising
So you believe in climate change, and so shouldn’t care that EVs take more CO2 to create. I’m not sure either. Mandates are also an issue.
I do care about the emissions from car tailpipes that are killing people, particularly in big cities, and dont understand why you dont see reducing them as a worthy thing to do.
And why an Australian channel isn’t supporting Lithium given AUstralia provides roughly 50% of all lithium worldwide.

@@pary327
No, it won't. Infrastructure won't support a significant increase in EV use. That's not specifically EV infrastructure - that's roads and bridges, electric grids, daily schedules, logistics...
EVs require massive amounts of electricity that some municipalities cannot provide. EVs cause significant wear on transportation infrastructure, requiring more frequent maintenance and repairs. EVs take considerably longer to charge, and can't go as far on a charge as a comparable ICE, making them infeasible for people's daily lives, long distance traveling, and commercial use. When considering California's mandate to switch to electric freight haulers, consider that towing a heavy load cuts your electric range by half - and naturally, all the loads are heavy. Long haul truckers in electric trucks will have to stop every few hours to recharge their trucks, significantly increasing delivery times.
Somebody had the "brilliant" idea that using electric school buses could somehow generate extra electricity that they can feed back into the grid. Their idea is that, since school buses don't run at night, they could drain their batteries back into the electric grid at night, thereby providing extra power for the area. Except, that leaves the buses without power to pick kids up in the morning. They'd have to be recharged...off the same power grid you just emptied their batteries into.... And I think that perfectly sums up the average EV believer.

Not only do you need to mine toxic metals to produce them (using gas or diesel-powered mining equipment), they also require large amounts of petroleum in the manufacturing process. Most municipalities also get their electricity from natural gas or coal. The heavy weight of the vehicles wears out tires faster, putting more chemicals in the air - and the increase in tire production to compensate means more chemicals needed to produce tires.
And once the batteries or cars themselves are worn out, there's extremely limited methods for dealing with the toxic metals.
I used to be on board with EVs. I was planning to start making my own EVs. The research I did into sourcing components showed me that it was not viable. Unless you're in the luxury market, EVs are not a financially stable business model. "Economy" EVs would still be prohibitively expensive for the average consumer. After five years, I gave up entirely. Even selling ICE cars to fund the EV business is out the window now, with the EV mandates and looming bans on new ICE production and sales.
EVs must stand on their own, and let the market determine their fates.
It's not collapsing. It's just been a steady, very small niche market and always will be since only the very well heeled can afford them (though I suspect many naive people will own their first and only one and then get a very rude shock at trade in time). But any "collapse" is simply one of activist expectations having to contend with the reality that was always known to anyone with any commonsense.
Global EV sales are up, price parity in 2025 will cause EV sales to rocket.
@@rattusfinkus Do you know why you can't recharge your phone inside of an airplane? Now think about an EV. They burn.
@@gvdschoot you can't take a Jerry can of petrol on a plane either
@@rattusfinkus There are lots of things you can't take inside of a plane. But do you know that in Australia you can't park an EV inside a parking lot? Now, guess why?
@@gvdschoot which parking lot, probably operatored by a sky News indoctrinated moron.
5 GALLONS OF petrol has the same energy density as a 2000lbs battery ,, where is the common sense here its insanity.... EV trolls hahahahhahaagagahahagaahahagahahahgagahaahagahahah ,, did you know a horse will put over double the CO2 of a car over its life time
WTF is this true about the horse?
A 100km of diesel costs $20, 100 km of electrons costs $4 or less.
Ha di hahaha
The battery costs a little bit more.
@@gvdschoot battery costs have halved in the last year and set to halve again. Soon batteries will cost around $50kwh which for a typical 60kwh battery will be about $3000. It will be cheaper to make EVs than ICE cars soon.
@@rattusfinkus Aha... "soon"
EV sales will go up when petrol, gas and diesel is banned, That will be happening over the next few years.
Not in the next few years but maybe prices will slowly reduce their use.
Sure Thing 😆
Oh! Look over there 👉 it's a flying pig 😆
Lol! Most fuels are earth's natural resources, that'll never happen. Imo
That won't happen because the economy is run on the Petrodollar.
Take away oil and millions of people die.
You need oil to make a EV
Your deluded
EV sales will go up in 2025 with price parity, they are getting cheaper and cheaper. Also we have run out of all the easy oil, it'll only get more expensive here on in.
I just read a lot of the comments. Most of you probably never drove an ev or owned one. Or a good ev for that matter. And this news is very biased and aggressive. I’m Chinese and I work overseas. I respect the culture of the country I’m in. I admire and want to learn from the westerners and be respectful at the same time. Cheap Chinese cars? lol it depends on how much the car is. That’s what determines the quality. There’s a lot of knock offs. But why would a company wanna embarrass itself and fuck its reputation to the world. China has mature manufacturing lines. And Australia doesn’t. Because they never were known to be a country famous for manufacturing products except maybe natural products like fish oil. Ev is very nice. You can’t just say something is bad when you don’t even own one. And I’m not saying buy China ev. I have a Mazda cx5 and a model 3 and I love both. But the model 3 is more fun tbh. That’s just me.
