    Still waiting for all these cheap EVs to hit Canada. And for all the price cuts of Tesla to reach us, too. Because as of right now, the cheapest Model Y in Canada still starts at $70k. Prices are going to have to drop by a LOT before I'll consider selling my ICE vehicle for an EV. Because I just can't afford current prices. Not even close.

    Interesting.. Here in the UK I think things are happening much more slowly.
    One of the biggest problems is the fact that the vast majority of average people would find it very difficult to charge their cars conveniently. A large percentage of them would not be able to do so at home, due to the lack of access. Also, people in most (except the more modern) multi-storey residential buildings (flats) have no hope of getting access. Chargers in public places (eg shopping malls) are still very low in numbers. Charging at work is still a pipe dream, and anyway a lot of people commute to work on public transport (congestion tax!).
    Thus, the numbers are growing quite slowly.
    One hopes that the charger situation will improve.

      @Costopher ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I agree that's the perception, but the fear is completely overblown(mandatory bias reveal - I don't have a driveway and am perfectly ok running my ev. ).
      But let's war game it. You need one single driveway to service 14 average UK drivers(140 miles/week). That's with a regular level 2 charger, no fancy 3 phase or fast charger. There's already apps that allow you to share the driveway, just book your timeslot and job's a good one.
      If not, a using a fast charger at the local supermarket - like my morrisons for example, is enough to add a few days worth of range during a 20 minutes shopping session.
      I can also drop into town for a coffee and just park my car and charge it there - free parking while I charge at a slightly higher cost than i would at home(39p vs 33p - it would take 40000 miles driven for it to be worth to install a charger at home vs using the one in the central car park in my case - and that's the cheaper chargers, not the fancy ones. if i'd add the cost of getting the kerb dropped i'd get into hundreds of thousands of miles before i would see a return).
      It is very convenient and very nice to have a driveway and a charger at home, but it's in no way mandatory to get around just fine without any issues.

      @@Costopher Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's good to see innovative ways to get around such problems. Also, with the way things are going it looks like a given that one will have to switch sooner or later! Not my generation, of course!
      However, will the "public" chargers not become increasingly congested, as more people get EVs? I know they say that more will be installed, but one doesn't see much improvement, certainly not in our area.

    • @Costopher
      @Costopher ปีที่แล้ว

      @@dennisleighton2812 no problem.
      Of course public chargers will get more congested. More are being built though. You might not notice them, but between the end of 2016 and 2021 the charge point network grew four-fold from 6,500 to more than 28,000 devices and between 2020 and the end of 2021, close to 7,500 charge points were added to the UK network, a growth of 36%.
      36% in a year!
      Also, while rapid and ultra-rapid chargers only make up around 20% of total devices, they account for around 60% of the total capacity.
      These are just the public ones. The average UK driver will need to charge once every 2 weeks on a slow charger. Slow chargers can be installed quite quickly/easily on existing parking lots.
      And I'll bet you a pint that your generation will see the full switch - it's going to happen over the next 5 years. Ofc, there will still be petrol cars around, just as you can see 100 year old classics on the road today.

    Well done Man for even mentioning Shanna without breaking down, I know where you are at, and it's a struggle, but good on you. Fingers and toes crossed.
    Currently, things may change, the cost of 1KWH is 28 pence via my energy supplier and our EV does 4 miles per KWH = 7 pence per mile. (zero road tax)
    Our "long range" diesel does 62 mpg on a run, but around the houses does 50mpg.
    So using the EV around the houses, should save that more expensive option.
    Not sure my workings out are correct but here goes.
    £1.50 per litre of diesel x 4.5 = £6.75 per gallon.
    50mpg equates to 13.5 pence per mile.
    62mpg equates to 10.7 pence per mile.

Having the sliding doors, lower entry height, and ability to put 3 car seats side by side in the second row, make certain minivans indispensable. Looked at the ID Buzz and it wouldn’t suit us.

    The time to buy an EV is as soon as you can afford one, since the savings in operating costs put one ahead. My ex wife bought a Chevy Bolt to replace her aging Nissan Pathfinder a few months before the price of fuel shot up. Before the price of fuel went up, her payments on the Bolt were the same as the cost of gasoline for the Pathfinder, so her costs stayed the same, but she got to drive a nice new EV and enjoy the pleasure of one pedal driving. After the prices of fuel went up, she figured she was saving (earning) 50 to 150 dollars a month. The Pathfinder has been relegated to dump runs and for use during snow storms due to having 4 wheel drive.

Why they aren't doing this is a mystery to me. 50 miles would help many people locally and the ICE would allow long trips. This way you could own one vehicle and still enjoy both worlds.

      Here in the USA EV sales are only 12%. Once cheaper ones come to market (that could be years, ugh) the early adopters will move aside and the mainstream will scarf them up, because getting to work cheaply is a no-brainer when EVs are the same price as gas cars. We have a huge amount of resistance, though. Some is political, because the MSM has told people what the oil industry propaganda says: EVs catch fire, they run on coal, but mostly it's the DEMOCRATs FORCING YOU TO BUY ONE because they want to limit your travel. Then there's the apartment dweller problem, There are solutions to that but they will take much time.
      So "plummeting" is not what EV sales will do. There will be a surge when cheaper models come out and the selection is better. Then a slowing of growth until the Luddites come around and street charging is solved. Sales as a proportion of total sales is not going to go down. Hybrids will be a niche. With everyone able to use Tesla chargers, plus all the others being put in now, range anxiety will be gone.

    ...sell your [ICE] car now or lose thousands.
    Like almost everyone else who runs a BEV and has friends who are considering buying a new ICE car after selling their present one, I suggest they seriously re-consider, especially over the next 12 months. The biggest answer I get back is, "this next ICE car will be my last." My response to that is, "you realise it won't be worth anything, or only a small fraction.?" So, if they are dead set on buying a final ICE car I recommend they buy a good condition used one. Then it won't hurt so much when they let it go.
    Let me be totally honest. I am not a person who would want people to make the same error as I did, just to make me feel better [there are those people about]. I got my BEV and it has been a near 100% success, and mine is a VW ID3 which I regularly moan about because the software is so iffy. But it's way, way better than an equivalent ICE car. It's not even close. Go get a test-drive of any BEV you like and find out.

    Henry Ford's THIRD automobile company - same one as today - was created by Henry and associates to "bust" the George Seldon Patent. It took several years, but after, new auto makers flooded the market. Anticipating this, Ford's business model was based on a fixed profit. His sales agenda was to reduce the cost to build cars and maintain his profit. It worked and as Ford continued to reduce retail prices, based on reduced costs with fixed profit, many car companies went broke selling their cars with no profit.

    You're missing a major reason: people living in cities (at least here in Europe) realizing they are screwed with the EV they bought and selling it again, because they have nowhere to charge it. Governments here in Europe have basically been forcing people to go EV, but now those buyers that do not have their own garage or driveway (read: living in the medium-size cities or multi-storage buildings outside of cities) are getting stuck because their EV is not charged in the morning as there are just insufficient charging points for all those EVs. People start fights over who gets to use the sole charging point in a 2km radius and if you have a long cable running over the pavement, you'll get fined as that is dangerous for pedestrians. With also the EU-ban on gasoline and Diesel-cars now getting turned back (or rather not going through), EVs will take a long time to be the huge hit some thought it would be. Also the powerlines needed to get power to super-chargers for so many cars are just not acceptable in densely populated Europe. I'm guessing H2 will take the lead in the coming decades. Sure, efficiency is way lower, but you can have an infrastructure as for gasoline where lots of people earn a living/profit from the distribution of it and you don't need impossibly thick cables running everywhere to chargers with rows of cars waiting. And until then, I'll keep my nice and big Diesel as the price of Diesel will only go down the more people get an EV and slowly it will become "carbon-neutral" somehow (just like most electricity currently isn't green).
    All the best for your wife, family and yourself!

    To be in parity with ICE cars, the price of EVs needs to come down by 50%, not 10%. Take the MG ZS EV, the petrol variant is half the price of the EV. The price of the petrol Hyundai Kona is half the price of the EV variant. The biggest issue we have here in New Zealand is lack of choice of EV brands, and those brands that are here are only available in the higher spec, and then it takes 6-12months to get hold of one. The Skoda Enyak has only just been launch here in NZ, and they are only selling the more expensive 80kWh version.

    The price drop is already happening in the UK but mostly in used prices. My 21 plate Nissan Leaf+ trade in price has fallen dramatically this year….bought three months ago and intended to keep for 12 months before trading up for a new EV. The bottom is threatening to fall out of the EV market due to stalling demand and dealers not moving EV vehicles on so quickly( high energy costs, inflated EV prices) which is marginally being reflected in used EV prices being discounted on the forecourts. Unfortunately most new EVs are still being listed at retail prices in the UK though as you say Tesla and MG4 have shook pricing up a little. I love EVs and my Leaf is fine for my needs however I do have serious regrets about the time of my purchase given what’s happening with used EV prices now in the UK. Unfortunately I will not be able to trade up to a new EV now and will need to keep my current Leaf for 3 years minimum to partly compensate for the huge depreciation.

This is such an unpredictable market and a price cut from vw or tesla can cost you thousands, most just cant afford to stock them or take the price hit. Every car deoeciates and although ev are all near the bottom, some petrol cars are close to them. The difference, the csr dealers know the petrol cars that depreciate fast and how long they take to sell, and can just fo quick maths "it will depreciate 9 percent in 3 months, it takes 2 to sell, its value is 10k now, ill offer 8k"
