I missed the Melbourne EV show and joined the channel after at 234,000 since then I have learned so much about wind solar and battery storage. The insight you have given me into EVs has been inspirational, today I went out and bought a new MG4 Excite for the discount price of $30,950.00. I traded my Honda Civic ICE car got $31,000.00 and made $50.00 on the deal. I am 78 years old and all my 9 grandchildren think I've lost it, but we know better right?
In Queensland I bought one 3 weeks ago. The MG4 is great on the road and so smooth compared to ice cars. The only mild worry is the number of charging stations but that will improve with time. Charging at home even with a granny charger is brilliant.
@@geraldbutler5484 In Queensland where the sun is so intense being near the Tropic of Capricorn it makes more sense to get solar panels AND a 7kW charger. I have both in dull Newcastle England and they make driving very inexpensive. 👍
20% is the S curve inflection point. We are rapidly approaching that number. The picture is slightly complicated by phev and hev, but we will see the beginning of the S shape start to form in the next 18 months. Then we’re in for a hell of a ride.
In the UK EV sales are “falling off a cliff” ACCORDING TO MOST NEWSPAPERS. They are lying. But that is the world for you…. and tbh I’d prefer this to CENSORSHIP by people who have an agenda. Sam is very persuasive and easily defeats these liars. On top of that there is increasing WORD OF MOUTH from satisfied EV customers.
That "rest of the world" number has the potential to 10x easily in the next decade as China keeps making cheaper and cheaper cars, with falling battery prices. Keep in mind that India, South America, and Africa have close to 3.5 billion people who would like affordable transport.
affordable?? how many in Africa can afford an EV.. most even do not have electricity in home you live in a rich kid bubble lol many do not have water, sewage system...food.. medicine, dentist..
India blocks Chinese cars for the same reason the USA and Europe do (its competing with local manufacturers). Africans are too poor to buy cars. The total car market in Africa (1+ Billion people) is about the same size as in South Korea (50 million people)...
@@thiagoribeiro021you obviously do not know Africa to have that biased an opinion of it! What Africans CANNOT afford is filling up gas vehicles. But remote villages, which have no way to transport their produce to market, can now collectively afford an electric van and a solar mini-grid! Ethiopia has also totally banned the sales of new ICE cars, as the country cannot afford its oil bill, but generates plenty of renewable power.
We in the UK would like affordable transport as well?? Yes UK numbers are increasing but the numbers are low. It seems that asia is getting all the smaller cheap models while we get stuff that no one can afford.
10M-12M BEV a year is OK (~15% of new car sales worldwide), but growing more could hit resource constraints (Li, Co, Mn, Cu, even Al) and rising materials costs.
When my wife’s in the car and I’m driving, she counts Tesla cars , a little game she plays, a year ago, all day was 8 teslas , the other day we went out together all day, 40 Tesla
There are about 4000 Service Stations and say about 40,000 fuel bowsers (petrol, diesel, gas) in Australia servicing about 15 million FF vehicles. If we are to replace these 15 mill with EV's then where are the charging stations to match if everyone switches to EV's. We have petrol bowsers because of petrol companies. I don't see any electric companies creating any Charging Stations anytime soon.When EV owners start charging their vehicles from home batteries there goes the government's cash cow, golden goose and magic pudding all in the form of excise.
I’m glad to hear there are millions willing to buy these EV’s so they can work out the bugs on those people 😂. I’ll wait another 5 years when lithium is gone and the safer, more advanced & more affordable replacement is here.
Sounds positive but im worried the more EV's on the road the more chances EV haters will find and highlight negative stories, especially re fires and battery fails. Such events may only effect a tiny percentage but people read the headlines and form a distorted view which they pass on to others. Hope new battery chemistry will one day prevent these issues especially the fires which can be highly destructive in certain situations.
China has a vested interest in going fully electric. They have a smog issue that is being reduced as the quantum of EVs increases. But more importantly, they want to dominate the auto market not just in China, but worldwide. They are using the reluctance of the OEMs to pivot to EV as a lever against them. Legacy car makers are losing enormous market share within China and this will hurt them greatly as the majority of their profits come from China. China also wants to be the leading exporter, which they achieved this year. While tariffs in the US and Europe are hobbling them at the moment, they will find a way around these hurdles, including ramping sales to the "rest of the world" which has the potential to increase substantially if China can sell their EVs at good prices. I would hate to be CEO of Ford, GM, Stellantis, Mercedes, BMW, and especially the Japanese automakers.
They have a smog issue that is being reduclol... What's the source of that info? Also you know mostly if their energy comes from coal that means those EVs are running on coal indirectly , now you have the coal pollution to produce energy and you have the pollution and destruction caused by mining for the materials to make battery... so it's basically double or triple or more the pollution and the destruction of nature.
@@thiagoribeiro021you should watch more episodes of the electric Viking. , because his reporting is as accurate as the data sources available. China is installing more solar panels than any country in the world. In mid 2024, china was making 44% of its electricity from renewables, which is much higher than the world average and much more electricity than is used to power all of their ev’s. Their renewable energy growth rate was 8% last year and it will be much higher this year. Meanwhile, their coal power usage is shrinking and they are not making any more new coal power plants.
California has a vested interest in going fully electric. They have a smog issue that is being reduced as the quantum of EV’s increases. The same can be said for most other US states.
You are right, but as someone who wants all vehicles to be electric, I don't care. If Europe, USA and Japan are not doing enough, let the Chinese do it.
Hybrids and PHEV should not count. Those are the biggest con going on right now in the automotive business. Twice as many things to go wrong, and for dealers to rip you off on. The EV only auto manufacturers will keep increasing their lead over legacy.
Yeah and there are fairies at the bottom of my garden too........as if everyone who wants an EV suddenly went out and bought one in an instant......the sudden recharge rate would overpower the grid, and we'd have a massive blackout .......pull the other one mate it isn't happening.
I don't know. I charge my Tesla from my solar panels system and many of my friends do too. Others charge from the network off-peak, when it's cheaper and thereby balance the network. I don't see network collapse anywhere. Not even in Norway.
People only drive on average 30 ks a day here in ozz , so if you own an ev , you would probably only charge once a week at home over night , so yeah no catastrophes at all

Germany ended its subsidy for EV sales and sales continued to rise. What does that tell you about the "need" for subsidies?
UK car manufacturing must sell 22% EV in 2024.
Many car sales companies pre- registering EV and selling cheaper than rrp recommended retail price

just to balance that up we recently had "ev sales are Surging" but are they really??
I'm still waiting on these cheap affordable cars lol
Well said sir! I like that Sam simply shows us the ACTUAL DATA 👏

Great video

It's to be expected. Evs still have a lot of inside. Ice vehicles have peaked.

China going fully electric by 2030? Disruption doesn't take that long, not from where they're currently at.
EVs for the win 🏆 ICE sales are collapsing. All transport will be electric within 10 years, max.
Oh, the ICE supporter will find it hard to dispute that EVs worldwide Sales are slowing down and the consumers are wrong in switching to EV.
What?
@@jsanders100 🤣

Toyotas hybrids are the best in the business. Plenty of them doing well over 300k miles with only oil changes
If China is 70pct nevs they will be even more economically competitive.
Yanks will have 1000pct tariffs.
Maybe I'll be the only one left on the planet who will be owning an ICE car, if these massive sales of EVs 🤮keep going up. 😜😂🤣
You might own an ice but you won't be driving it. Even the oil industry will give up distributing ff when you are the last customer.
Yeah and there are fairies at the bottom of my garden too........as if everyone who wants an EV suddenly went out and bought one in an instant......the sudden recharge rate would overpower the grid, and we'd have a massive blackout .......pull the other one mate it isn't happening.

Overnight replacement isn't going to happen so don't worry. It will happen hand in hand with gris development faster than you think
