Why EVs aren't selling in the USA be your heading. The USA isn't the world, despite what many Americans seem to think.
10 years ago EV non existend. Now Millions EV Cars Sold every Year. ICE RIP. BYD 10.000 dollar. Wuling Bingo 10.000 dollar. And I have Rooftop Solar to Charge. Cheap EV is here. Rooftop Power is for Free. 👍
Little toys for the richest of the society and paid in great part by average Joe.
Nothing wrong with electric cars. It's the battery type that is the BIG problem. Lithium.
In what way? Lithium isn't as bad as oil on the environment. Plus Lithium deposits are concentrated in small areas around the globe. Oil fields are everywhere. Another thing Lithium can easily be recycled, Oil as fuel is only used once. Lithium recycling is set to grow and really starting to take off.
@@rickster9993 All dreams! Some other kind of metal needs to be found for the +ve electrode in batteries. Lithium batteries cause numerous fires, it is toxic, highly dangerous material.
Why they are NOT selling in America. First reason.... no good charging network. Second.... no decent EV to buy.... However, outside America they are growing in every other country
cause nobody wants them that simple. america is filled with endless highways and ev's suck at highway/interstate travel.
@billybobbob3003 The only ones that don't are Tesla and they are ugly.
@billybobbob3003 But America isn't going to stop the rest of the world from buying EVs. The 2025 models are all coming in at 400+ miles range. Eventually America will catch up
exactly. this is an american problem.. who were too late to adopt EVs due to legacy automakers hardon for oil. countries who figured it out 10yrs ago like many asian countries have already reached 50% or higher in total EV sales, and their demand is extremely high due to ACTUAL price selection for the masses - eg. EVs avail starting from $10,000. until tesla can sell an EV for less than $20k by next year, they are going to be overrun by the asian EV makers. don't forget the united states does not represent the world. just because u.s. EVs sales have gone over a cliff, doesn't mean other countries are experiencing the same.
@@OnsiteOneSolutions ev sales in china flopping lmao
the chemistry of the battery is for all practical purposes is as good as it is going to be so for a longer range you need a larger battery a larger battery is heavier and it takes energy to move it a battery storing energy is much heavier than a petro car the loop greater range versus weight has a limit and we are already there greater size also means more charging and longer times to charge it
I would buy EV if they cost around $20.000 or less with is possible because EV's are less complicated than gas cars, and Chinese proved it possible but prices are keeped up high by european lobby
My wife insisted we go hybrid instead of full EV, but the battery range is decent and we get good value with maintenance.
Exactly, for the most part range anxiety only exists for non-EV owners, I suggest renting an EV for a roadtrip to get rid of this irrational fear.
Do you know what sucks though? Realising you forgot to refuel last night and have to go 20 miles in the wrong direction before you can go to work.
Coming in 2030 near you, as the EV fleet of the US reach 20-25% of the total car fleet.
"My wife insisted" 🤣

Its a niche and thats it.
There is another reason. It's a bit esoteric, but you never truly own the electric vehicle. The manufacture (and/or regulatory agencies) can force software compliance that can alter the driving characteristics after your purchase. This is considered "bait and switch" by some.
Hmm. Good one, thank you for sharing this.
EV sales are increasing, just not for Ford and GM. Charging stations are rapidly being added.
But still, a lot of places where it's declining.
@@CarTalkChronicles Where?
@@CarTalkChronicles Where? Not in Europe where I'm from so what are you talking about?
Left out was the positive benefit of the many Apps that identify where charge opportunities exist. With EV charging Apps only a complete idiot would have range issues. Checking to see the charge network in the areas you drive is easy to do BEFORE you buy.
This video is very important to know about this.
I am in the midst of looking for an EV myself. I don't want to contaminate the environment for future generations anymore. Climate change must be stopped at all costs.
Have you considered how much energy is wasted to produce EV car and batteries and then to produce the electricity. Not all energy comes from renewable sources.
@urosgruber According to the 1st Law of Thermodynamics, energy can not be created or destroyed. Energy can only be transferred from one form into another. This is basic inorganic chemistry 101, dude.
@@Seven.Heavenly.Sins.666 Not sure what you want to say here? If you're referring to my word "wasted", I meant that energy is not destroyed but not used efficiently.
@urosgruber According to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, entropy is always greater than enthalpy. In other words, energy can never be used 100% efficiently. You win some, and you lose some. That is Mother Nature.
@@Seven.Heavenly.Sins.666 all true, but it's not the point here. Nvm.
Hey man! How do i contact you asap.
What do you need?
@@CarTalkChronicles can you send me gmail
@@CarTalkChronicles I saw your video, your editing is good but it is not according to the trend nowadays. I am a video editor who will help in growing your channel.
well done
Love watching the video, creative❤❤
Thank you 🤗
Are you wearing blinders. EV sales are sky rocketing. Every house is a charging station and actual charging stations are showing up every where.
Fossil fuel lobbyists and propogandists are shatting theyre pants. They're trying desperately to fight back but it wont work this time 😶
Numbers are showing different situation
The sales haven’t dropped, they are just not increasing, but there are still more EV sales than there has ever been. I see Teslas on every corner now.
@@nolomite3921 Sales are actually increasing but the price is dropping due to large decreases in battery prices.. Battery cost will continue to decline as more battery plants and EV factories come on line this year so expect to see the price of EV's continue to drop.
Sitting on a ticking fire hazard. I'll pass for now.
Actually EVs catch fire less often than gas burners.
The main reason: EVs are scientifically not viable for general use.
Scientifically? What does that even mean? They exist, they drive, they are being bought so what exactly are you talking about? You stand to sound much more credible if you were to say economically not viable for general use. It's all about economics and guess what, you'll be wishing to be driving an EV in a couple of decades and nothing else because driving and ICE cars will become unrealistically expensive. Or do you perhaps think oil will be coming out of the ground for eternity? Lets see you wanting to drive an ICE car if it's 10 times more expensive to do so. Also, do you actually believe all those car manufacturers making EVs are doing it because they want to portray en eco friendly image? Nope, it's because they see the writing on the wall for the future. They invest and develop now in order not to fall behind. Those car manufacturers that aren't on top of the game in EV building in the future will just die and no longer exist. Btw, I just love how you just say they aren't "scientifically viable" and provide no clarification what so ever. It sounds like ignorant nonsense, probably not even aware what exactly you're saying.
@@flybeep1661 If you don't know what it means - I can't help you. Here's an example: EVs carry too much dead weight because of the batteries, therefore the energy conversion from burning coal/oil/NG, converting it into electricity, charging EV batteries is so inefficient (compare to just burning gas) that the idea of EV efficiency is absurd. And don't forget that energy coefficients from main source of energy (fossils) to electricity to EV batteries is so low that the EV idea is so stupid - it defies belief. If you also take into account how much energy it takes to produce batteries and then dispose of them . . .
@@flybeep1661 Also, what would help if you studied hard sciences instead of the crap they teach in public schools, then you may have understood what I'm talking about. Study math and physics in particular.
I guess I have different science on the planet I live on. With my full house solar system combined with the local grid largely powered by recently built renewables none of your "science" makes any sense. My science is me laughing all the way to the bank with the crazy low operating cost and near zero maintenance. I wake up everyday with a full "Tank" filled as I sleep from either my full house battery system or directly from my solar power during the day or from the grid which is primarily renewables backed by minimum gas power. The off peak rates are nicely VERY low. Over a 10 year period I save over 26,000 dollars compared to my gas car in energy cost alone. Science - Shmience. You have no idea what you are talking about. @@ChessCat9
EVs are terrible for the environment when compared to the total impact of a even some of the worse consumer vehicals. Everyone I know that has and EV overall hate it after about a year or so of ownership. The biggest surprise complaint is how fast they go through tires and how expensive they are. These cars are generally a one trick pony that can at times accelerate quickly if all of the contiditions are met. The rest of the time you're better off driving a soul sucking Prius or equivalent.
Interesting stuff. Do you own one?
@@CarTalkChronicles No he doesn't and every thing he knows is from some one who knows someone who lives next door to someone who does.
@@CarTalkChronicles I don’t own one and don’t look forward to owning one. I don’t feel like I’ll own one until automotive manufacturers address the length of time it takes to charge the vehicle. I have young kids and having to stop for an hour (or more) to charge when going on a road trip is not my kind of fun. 6 of the people I know who have an EV use that to commute to and from work. This does work for them as a 2nd vehicle. The rest are (roughly 10 or so) that got a Tesla Model 3 or equivalent as a primary/only vehicle dread it and feel they made a mistake. They either got it to be “greener” or to save on the cost of ownership. Those who are going for the “green” movement are terribly wrong because of the huge impact on the environment in manufacturing and planned obsolescence of the vehicle based on the battery charge cycle life. As for the people saving money on gas. The total cost of ownership was quite more than expected because of taxes on mileage and the expensive tires they are required to purchase. The weight of the vehicle and a large amount of torque cause excessive tire wear. 2 people I work closely with end up having to get 2 sets of tires within the last 12 months. According to them they don’t drive their car like a race car and try to drive as economically as possible. I’ll stick with my slow and soft gas car and run it into the ground until something like hydrogen cars take off.
"The biggest surprise complaint is how fast they go through tires and how expensive they are."
Spotted the Big Oil troll, what do I win? :)
@@supernoobvs.5760 You're just blowing wind. Nothing you said is insurmountable. Going on vacation? Most big chain restaurants have charging stations now days. My daughter and her husband drove from Settle to San Fransisco in one they rented. The motel they stayed at had charging stations. The little town I live in has 4 charging stations at it's biggest restaurant and 6 charging stations at the main motel. I don't believe Tesla requires special tires and yes if you have a heavy foot you're going to be burning rubber. You will also be out running just about every thing on the road. Except for other EV''s. Everybody I know that has EV's love them.
I looked into and electric vehicle but I decided to go with an electric bike instead. Far cheaper. Very dependable. Gets me to the store. Gets me back and forth to work. Does everything a car did for me but I don't have to pay for gas? I don't have to pay for insurance. I can just get on my bike and ride way better than a car
Interesting idea 👌🏻
