The 3 problems with electric cars is are: COST RANGE Battery Replacement. (New replacement battery can cost more that the car itself.) None of these can seem to be changing any time soon
Cost? I recouped the extra cost after rebate within 2 years of ownership due to how cheap electric cars are to own and operate. Range? 95% of all passenger trips is less than 30 miles. Anywhere I can't get in my EV I can afford to fly to because of how cheap my car is to own. And Battery replacement? LOL I have a neighbor who has over 500,000 km on his EV that he is using as a taxi. Still the original battery and just under 90% capacity still.
As for running costs I do less than 3000 miles a year running costs are completely irrelevant ev's are way overpriced and current batteries are not environmentally friendly as they use lithium and cobalt
I don't think electric cars are for everyone. The battery harvest is also not pollution free and the materials like cobalt, magnesium and other elements are not indefinitely. Will electric cars be the future.... YES! Will they be for everyone.... NO!
Yes Sven agree totally 👍 It is not easy to make a change from ICE to other free sustainable energy...hopefully will find a good way in the future...if not electric maybe Hydrogen
It was interesting to hear you opinion about this issue. In russia there no opportunity to use electric cars for normal people, without high salarary, and in winter your battery may just go out of usage, and our government don't say anything about it. Well, I'm frustrated because of world wide extermination of petrol and diesel cars, because I don't like electric cars, their design, their dynamic (nevertheless its outstanding), so we may say goodbye to golden era of cars
There is a NASA article which has the headline: Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds (over the last 35 years). Plants need carbon dioxide to grow.
Dan, good job and interesting topic! Don't you think that electric cars |will cause other problems to our environment? Think about the production of batteries.
Hallo Antonio, Thanks for feedback. I think we can find a way to recycle the batteries in time. But for people's health and for environment I think they are more clean then the petrol. Iam sure the technology will evolve and we will have more clean batteries. Let's hope so. Anyway if all the cars will be electric the Cities air will dramatically change 👍🙂🙏
@@davefroman4700 Yes but not everyone wants the silent whisper of an electric vehicle, I will take 40% inefficiency for the chance to hear a big old v8... And I am 18 yo, not any boomer...
@@fortcrafterbossbehold9027 You will not have a choice. In 5-6 years the automotive sector is going to abandon gas car manufacturing due to a lack of sales. And I doubt you will even be allowed to register one 10-12 years from now.
@@davefroman4700 I ain't interested in any one to begin with, since new ICE cars have less personality than electrics. That is why I actually support the 2035 new ICE vehicle ban; in other words I will 1950s-1990s designed ICE vehicles or not at all. However, I will not allow any old ICE cars I already have be taken or seized from me, for those I already own are my right. As for registering, I will fight to the end to stop such a law, and if that's not possible, I will just try to drive the vehicle as much as possible without registration without getting caught. And if everything else fails, I do several underground conversion projects of EV vehicles to gas, without cosmetically ruining the outer body of the vehicle as to hide ICE components from prying eyes. As for fuel, I hated the money looting oil jerks anyway, so I will just make homemade fuel using plant components. To be able to run the secret ICE conversions.
In a world dominated by carbon based life forms, C02 is absolutely essential to all life and particularly for the green plants that feed on it and emit oxygen, which is as essential for animal life. People in cities in The West have never had air so clean since the dawn of the industrial revolution, if not before. Burning wood and coal produces massive amounts of pollution and much of this was released inside the houses that people lived in. My mother was a nurse in London in the early 1950's and experienced the 'pea-soup' smog from domestic and power station coal burning. I remember going to London even after coal was banned for house heating, or smokeless coal was mandated, not sure which, but even in the 1960's and early 70's one's face was coated with black muck after walking around all day. Since the elimination of lead and sulphur in fuel, plus coal being banned, plus progressive emissions regulations on cars, the air has become relatively super-clean. Euro6 diesel emissions are now at the same level as for petrol cars and are a non-issue. They both still emit CO2 of course but the big polluters now are oil fired heating and industrial boilers, aircraft [in normal years] and shipping. These all have very lax emissions controls.
Nice video and well developed thoughts. Though one thing I was wondering is how less harmful are electric cars in total. Meaning that, petrol and diesel (lpg etc) cars pollute directly the environment and the electric cars do not. But, in order to charge the car, the electricity has to be produced which as far as I know is mostly done in power plants and in most countries by using heat engines fueled by combustion. In some cases for example they use lignite. So the factory pollutes. The pollution of the electric car is transferred to the pollution of the factory rather than immediate. So the question is how does this pollution compare to the pollution each car makes. I mean that if the pollution made by the factory to produce electricity is relevant to the pollution the total cars make then it is not like we are polluting less. Of course I guess that the total pollution by using electric cars is less, otherwise it shouldn't had been an alternative but I am just trying to say that we should not have the Illusion that by buying and driving an electric car we don't pollute at all the environment. The pollution goes to the plant which makes the electricity we use. But of course must be better than driving a petrol/diesel car. Lastly, someone might say that we can produce energy without contaminating the environment like with solar panels or wind generators but the amount of these are not enough, we would have to cover huge areas of such facilities and again we wouldn't be able to cover the demand in energy and for some other reasons as well. All in all, we should of course try to lower our emissions of CO2 and generally lower the pollution of the environment but the electric cars are not the only way. The first step should be done by governments regarding huge factories which contaminate much more, especially in U.S.A and China. And don't forget that many car companies except from investing in electric or hybrid cars, they are also developing modern internal combustion engines which pollute far less than older ones, so if the majority of people start driving more modern cars with such engines plus hybrid/electric cars the pollution will be less. And I think that internal combustion engines such as the petrol and diesel will not extinguish yet as I read in an article for many reasons but the requirements from E.U. for example will be much more strict. Again, very nice video, just wanted to add my opinion on the new trend of electric cars and that we should be aware of the deeper pollution of electric cars (in the power plants). 👍
Good points Ioannis. You are right most of energy for the moment ia produce by burning coal and it is not so clean.....but Nuclear energy is relatively clean ...plus all the new renewable energy from solar, wind, hydro.....also batteries are not 100% clean but in my opinion are much more clean then ICE. In future iam sure will find a way to make them 100% clean energy. Thanks for feedback and infos 🙏👍
Interesting video but I don't think the current ev's are the answer, at least not enough for me to consider one. City pollution, city car. Not suitable for other environments and still very costly on a like for like basis. Too much carbon is produced in manufacture there are questions about longevity Battery weight also needs to be greatly reduced so they can be lighter to give the ground clearance I need in my car.
Pushing taxes for co2 will motivate to buy smaller ICE and smaller car, ev is not yet a replacement for under 20k€ for average person, on other hand battery cell repackaging with optional cell replacements will give it 2nd life and total value loss not so dramatic. But first, such service has to build proper demand which is not happening before where is lots of ev or phev out there.
You are an intelligent man, please do your research. Electric cars are not anymore environmentally friendly than efficient gasoline cars. Crashed EV’s are starting to pile up here in the US. Those lithium batteries are a serious problem, along with the carbon fiber.
One of the biggest reasons the governments are pushing EV’s is because they will be more track able and controllable than conventional cars. I am not a conspiracy person however the US government did ask Elon Musk about shutting down all the Tesla in Russia. He would not do it. But just the thought that this capability is even an option? If people want to own EV’s that’s fine but when the governments are pushing something it’s usually not for a good reason.
Yes you are right but ....if all the cars in the cities were electric we whould all breath a better air then ICE....but yes .....complicated discussion
@@SDADanCars thank you for replying, thank you for your honesty. I live in a rural area but close to two large cities. My friends in the city are actually buying EV’s . Neither of them drive more than five miles daily. I have actually told them to get bicycles or just walk, but that is another discussion. Anyways EV’s for city dwellers is the right idea and even those who commute some miles. But the discussion unavoidable leads to power source. What a mess it is turning to in the USA. Solar and wind are just not the answer, not for a 1st world nation. Nuclear is the only real viable method. My countrymen are so ignorant because instead of reading, they prefer to listen to the weird haired propagandist. When I mention that a nation like France receives most of its power from nuclear, they are silent.
I always wanted to buy a BMW M3, I'm in a place in my life where I can afford one but what will it's value be in 5 years? Will it be obsolete and difficult to sell as we move towards electrical vehicles?
Is hard to say … depend on politicians … they always change the rules and is hard to say … probably another 5 years you will be just fine 😁👍 i think after 2035 things will start to change
@@SDADanCars thanks for your insight. I think I'll pull the trigger, I'm 40 now so it's now or never, I can sell it in 5 years for an EV. My lust for a sporty car will probably be gone by then 😁
Kind of like pharma… oil and gas are huge money markets… they’re not gonna lose out on money like that. They wouldn’t be able to make up for it even if coal, oil or gas are used to produce electric
Yes Daniel that why in the world right now it is a secret war between big powers like Russia, USA, China.....not everybody like the Clean World idea ...because they will lose power and money
Interesting video on a huge topic. Some (pretty expensive) electric cars are fantastic, although I'm not convinced electric is the final solution. Science never ends. There is also the ignored issue of raw material use to make cars, it is similar whether ICE or electric, so there is little environmental saving there. It is also said that Lithium extraction for batteries is a very dubious activity. Over the past 20 years governments were all telling us to drive diesel and reduce CO2. Now they are telling us to drive electric. Based on their previous decisions, I have little confidence that they have it right, even now. Where will all this electric come from? There are insufficient supplies as it is. The best environmental impact that we all can influence immediately (aside from not driving at all) is to drive our existing cars for many years and only replace them when really necessary. This is a bigger challenge than we think and very hard to do. Frequent changing and especially buying new cars every 2 or 3 years is the real problem, otherwise known as "the elephant in the room", but this is constantly encouraged by leasing, advertisements and governments, they need the revenue! The resources used to make any car are very high but no one seems to consider this, we are still potentially destroying the planet, just in a different way.
Yes you are right. It is very complicated and the discution is is very long 🙂 really interesting what will happens in the future. Thanks for taking time to write ✍🙏🙂👍Really appreciate
@@SDADanCars Thanks Dan. It's a massive issue and electric cars are only the tip of the iceberg. Practicable 'solutions' will be more difficult. Every change we seem to introduce involves using even more resources. May be we really need to go back to basics. Time will tell. Have a good day.
As long as the prise of an electric car is high, people will buy internal combustion engine cars. In theory all is better going green... But is it affordable 😂😂😂😂... You cannot spend 25.000€ for a super mini car, without having sufficient parking/recharging space in your house, and also sufficient infrastructure around you to support this technology.... 2030 seems very soon.... Also don't consider only central Europe... The rest of the world is not even close...
Yes Kostas you are right 👍 Let's hope will come faster more affordable electric cars for all. And also improve the infrastructure of charging stations.
...and what about the vast quantities of copper, (and for now) lithium and cobalt etc that are mined. It will utilize vast amounts of clean water and pollute environments even much more than. It destroy communities livelihoods and their villages but the marketeers and developers cast a blind eye. There is no really "clean" solution. Hydrogen would have been close.
I think the petrol and diesel will be more and more expensive and is better to go electric. In one year there are many electric cars to choose from. If not I think petrol is still fine for a few years 👍🙂
I appreciate your effort and the content you are working on, I really enjoyed watching the video, but unfortunately, I am not good at English. Your follower is Saudi 🇸🇦 ♥ ️
Great video! I did enjoy your video! I would like to share some thoughts that I had and wonder what your opinion is. So I'm currently 20yo and I'm a car guy. Ever since I was a kid my would get me toy cars and I would play countless hours with every single one of them. My joy and love for them as the time went by, only increased. Having said this, you might understand how big of an impact this is on me that all combustion engined cars will stop being produced in only 8 years now... So let's say that I find a profession, a source of income that will let me buy an expensive car. Let's say that I now buy the Audi RS5, ok? Will I be able to drive it for 20 years? What happens to the regulations of a combustion engined car produced in 2030? Will we car fans enjoy the life of a nice car just like our parents, grandparents used to? My grandpa had a Dacia 1910 Break, I'm Romanian, but I live in Germany now (Grüezi!!). He had that car for around 30 years! It was a baby blue colour (very cute car). He had to give it to be crushed when I was around 10 years old due to an accident he had with his hand. What I wanted to say is that, would I be able to buy a '91 190E Mercedes with all the regulations that will be applied? What kind of fees will these old cars have (or even Euro 6 cars...). Will there even be petrol stations, if cars won't be anymore produced? Will we advance our technologies too late to create synthetic fuel, when everything'll be already changed? Will there ever be a way to avoid lithium in batteries (natural resource). Is Elon Mush sabotaging us with electric cars just so he can fund his plan and get away from all this? I don't know. I appreciate the affort that the governments do to be more eco friendly, but it all looks sketchy. For years, hybrid was the future, which is a very bad solution by the way and very impractical. Now it's time for EVs... You saw what Apple did with their packaging, avoiding putting chargers for "eco" reasons. You saw the price. It increased. Yes, inflation. But they still won more and was a marketing trick for them to get more. You saw what other companies did. It was the same. The ones who didn't do it yet, is because they win from the people who "appreciate" what they do, but guess what, they'll change too. This happens with everything all over the world. Sorry for the big text, could've written more, but it'd be off topic and I don't want it. Thank you for reading. :)
Hallo my friend 🙂Thanks for taking time to write. Very useful all your comments. Somehow I understand you very much, it is sad to see ICE cars go. But we have to try to adapt to the future and live on. Probably will be an synthetic fuel in the next years that will power ICE cars...let's hope will be not very expensive. We better take it step by step and see what will happend ...👍🙂 Wish you the best...Dacia it is a nice brand
@@SDADanCars Thanks for the reply! You know it's really funny this situation, because on one hand I really want the world to be more eco-friendly, but on the other hand, regulations and costs of a new car will be increased. Check out carwow's video on why cheap cars will stop existing. How specific targets will have to be accomplished for the new Euro 7 engines and how hard and super expensive will that be for Porsche, Mercedes and other manufacturers. Manufacturers who have been developing for years their engines. More fees, more regulations and more "correctness". To be honest, if Porsche does something impressive with the sound of their car, I'm sold. Haha Anyway thanks for replying!!
I'm not the most ecological person in the world, but my intention is make a ecological world but without harm the people's tastes and the nature. Exist more biofuels that you can get from waste and recycled materials without harm the nature, like the green diesel (renewable diesel), biodiesel, biogas, bioethanol and hydrogen, including the eco-electricity.
@@SDADanCars I'm fan of the hypercar sound, so if hypercars don't have a race sounds, they would be boring, and my intention is don't harm that taste, using biofuels. Brands that i know and make biofuels through recycled materials without harm the nature are Renewable energy group, Neste, Clean Energy Fuels, Biofuels express and Propel Fuels. ♻️🌱
Ev's are way way too expensive and not all that environmentally friendly efuels are the way forward and small engined engines ev's are another 20+yrs away for normal folk the batteries themselves cause environmental damage sorry but it's true
@@SDADanCars I use my petrol car for leisure and essential journeys only covering 3000 miles a year so why would I swap that's my point. also charging from home is very expensive electric being 4x price of gas and not charging from home is a none starter where I live in uk the electric infrastructure is none existent, ohh also the electric supplied to my home is not from a renewable source hence I'll be keeping my ice car for some time yet cheers for getting back to me just wanted to give my reasoning for me keeping to petrol
My next "move" will be an Plug in Petrol vehicle.... Swiss tax is very low compared with Diesel/Petrol engines. And for my 40 kilometres/week a eletric charge is more than enough.And have time in weekend to charge...or drive with combustion engine power.🤗👍

@@SDADanCars Thanks Dan. It's a massive issue and electric cars are only the tip of the iceberg. Practicable 'solutions' will be more difficult. Every change we seem to introduce involves using even more resources. May be we really need to go back to basics. Time will tell. Have a good day.
Yes right. Thanks you to 👍🙏
I was just looking what kind of car I want to get in the future... I'm depressed now.
😁🙂Hope you will do the right choice
As long as the prise of an electric car is high, people will buy internal combustion engine cars.
In theory all is better going green... But is it affordable 😂😂😂😂...
You cannot spend 25.000€ for a super mini car, without having sufficient parking/recharging space in your house, and also sufficient infrastructure around you to support this technology....
2030 seems very soon....
Also don't consider only central Europe... The rest of the world is not even close...
Yes Kostas you are right 👍 Let's hope will come faster more affordable electric cars for all. And also improve the infrastructure of charging stations.
Until I physically can’t anymore and isn’t possible I won’t stop using or buying a petrol car.
Thanks for feedback 👍🙂
...and what about the vast quantities of copper, (and for now) lithium and cobalt etc that are mined. It will utilize vast amounts of clean water and pollute environments even much more than. It destroy communities livelihoods and their villages but the marketeers and developers cast a blind eye. There is no really "clean" solution. Hydrogen would have been close.
Let's hope they will find a cleaner way 🙏🙂
I want to buy For example a new car in 2022 .. but I want it petrol . What y think ?
I think the petrol and diesel will be more and more expensive and is better to go electric. In one year there are many electric cars to choose from. If not I think petrol is still fine for a few years 👍🙂
I love yr channel greetz from Brussels
Thanks my friend for feedback and support 🙌👍🙏
when my MB 300D from 1982 finally gives up...id be long gone and dead =)
🙂
So true ! We all must go easily on electric ...and not only the cars also the industries . Thanks for video ! Amazing
I appreciate your effort and the content you are working on, I really enjoyed watching the video, but unfortunately, I am not good at English. Your follower is Saudi 🇸🇦 ♥ ️
Thanks my friend for feedback. I will add your language as subtitlu and you can see it with subtitle 👍🙏🙂
Great video! I did enjoy your video!
I would like to share some thoughts that I had and wonder what your opinion is.
So I'm currently 20yo and I'm a car guy. Ever since I was a kid my would get me toy cars and I would play countless hours with every single one of them. My joy and love for them as the time went by, only increased. Having said this, you might understand how big of an impact this is on me that all combustion engined cars will stop being produced in only 8 years now...
So let's say that I find a profession, a source of income that will let me buy an expensive car. Let's say that I now buy the Audi RS5, ok? Will I be able to drive it for 20 years? What happens to the regulations of a combustion engined car produced in 2030? Will we car fans enjoy the life of a nice car just like our parents, grandparents used to? My grandpa had a Dacia 1910 Break, I'm Romanian, but I live in Germany now (Grüezi!!).
He had that car for around 30 years! It was a baby blue colour (very cute car). He had to give it to be crushed when I was around 10 years old due to an accident he had with his hand.
What I wanted to say is that, would I be able to buy a '91 190E Mercedes with all the regulations that will be applied? What kind of fees will these old cars have (or even Euro 6 cars...). Will there even be petrol stations, if cars won't be anymore produced?
Will we advance our technologies too late to create synthetic fuel, when everything'll be already changed? Will there ever be a way to avoid lithium in batteries (natural resource). Is Elon Mush sabotaging us with electric cars just so he can fund his plan and get away from all this?
I don't know. I appreciate the affort that the governments do to be more eco friendly, but it all looks sketchy. For years, hybrid was the future, which is a very bad solution by the way and very impractical. Now it's time for EVs...
You saw what Apple did with their packaging, avoiding putting chargers for "eco" reasons. You saw the price. It increased. Yes, inflation. But they still won more and was a marketing trick for them to get more. You saw what other companies did. It was the same. The ones who didn't do it yet, is because they win from the people who "appreciate" what they do, but guess what, they'll change too.
This happens with everything all over the world.
Sorry for the big text, could've written more, but it'd be off topic and I don't want it.
Thank you for reading. :)
Hallo my friend 🙂Thanks for taking time to write. Very useful all your comments. Somehow I understand you very much, it is sad to see ICE cars go. But we have to try to adapt to the future and live on. Probably will be an synthetic fuel in the next years that will power ICE cars...let's hope will be not very expensive. We better take it step by step and see what will happend ...👍🙂 Wish you the best...Dacia it is a nice brand
@@SDADanCars Thanks for the reply! You know it's really funny this situation, because on one hand I really want the world to be more eco-friendly, but on the other hand, regulations and costs of a new car will be increased.
Check out carwow's video on why cheap cars will stop existing. How specific targets will have to be accomplished for the new Euro 7 engines and how hard and super expensive will that be for Porsche, Mercedes and other manufacturers. Manufacturers who have been developing for years their engines. More fees, more regulations and more "correctness".
To be honest, if Porsche does something impressive with the sound of their car, I'm sold. Haha
Anyway thanks for replying!!
I would not buy a combustion vehicle even in 2021 ... I would never buy it any further ... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for feedback 🙏👍
True 👏👏
I'm not the most ecological person in the world, but my intention is make a ecological world but without harm the people's tastes and the nature. Exist more biofuels that you can get from waste and recycled materials without harm the nature, like the green diesel (renewable diesel), biodiesel, biogas, bioethanol and hydrogen, including the eco-electricity.
Right 👍
@@SDADanCars I'm fan of the hypercar sound, so if hypercars don't have a race sounds, they would be boring, and my intention is don't harm that taste, using biofuels. Brands that i know and make biofuels through recycled materials without harm the nature are Renewable energy group, Neste, Clean Energy Fuels, Biofuels express and Propel Fuels. ♻️🌱
@@SDADanCars Almost forgot, thanks for the spanish subtitles. 😊😊
Ev's are way way too expensive and not all that environmentally friendly efuels are the way forward and small engined engines ev's are another 20+yrs away for normal folk the batteries themselves cause environmental damage sorry but it's true
Thanks Steve for feedback 👍🙏
@@SDADanCars I use my petrol car for leisure and essential journeys only covering 3000 miles a year so why would I swap that's my point. also charging from home is very expensive electric being 4x price of gas and not charging from home is a none starter where I live in uk the electric infrastructure is none existent, ohh also the electric supplied to my home is not from a renewable source hence I'll be keeping my ice car for some time yet cheers for getting back to me just wanted to give my reasoning for me keeping to petrol
Nice advertised for Tesla.Little bit too long though 😂😂
😁 not only Tesla ....electric cars in general
The generation that saw Captain Planet understands the effects of pollution 😀
Good job Dan, success in convincing you to buy electricity 👍
Hehe 🙂👍Thanks Rares for feedback 👍🙂🙏
My next "move" will be an Plug in Petrol vehicle.... Swiss tax is very low compared with Diesel/Petrol engines. And for my 40 kilometres/week a eletric charge is more than enough.And have time in weekend to charge...or drive with combustion engine power.🤗👍
Right Nuno good plan 👌
Petrol yes absolutely, diesel absolutely not, my opinion...
Thanks for feedback 👍🙏
Yes
👍
Pour moi une hybride c'est une bonne solution Merci Dan
Qui 👍🙂
