- Tim Constantine dives into the hot topic of electric vehicles. Biden’s administration is mandating that by 2030, 50% of all cars sold must be EVs or hybrids, with that number rising to 70% by 2032. Raising significant questions about the government's authority to enforce such mandates and the implications for the automotive industry and consumers.
While some Americans are embracing EVs and enjoying their benefits, the practical challenges of charging and the higher costs remain deterrents for many.
Do EVs really save the environment in the long run? Are they a viable option for individuals and businesses? Find out on this episode of The Capitol Hill Show.

2 hours for charging?
Majority of the EVs today charge between 20~30 min from DC fast chargers.
If she is talking about level 2 charger, they require 6~8 hours of charging. I don't understand where this 2 hours charging time comes from?
'you just set a route, and it tells you where to stop, and you have it planned out in advance' what a nightmare. I decide where I go and when I stop, not my car, and it's certainly not to spend half an hour at the back of a crappy parking lot every 200 miles.
when you have 10 chargers and eveyone is plugged in, its way way slower...and it takes time to get there, do the infinte line...tesla is one thing, all the rest is way behind and 2 hours is still a good time now. good luck with it, i stick to my horse
EVs are only a good choice for someone who always buys a new vehicle every 2 or 3 years. Most Americans only purchase used cars. A 2nd hand EV might be a good choice but concerns about the battery continue to defeat a vibrant used EV market in 2024.
It’s recommended not fast charge only when necessary. Fast charging deteriorates battery life quicker
Talking about EV without reference to China advancement in battery, EV cars and their actual implementation in the market is a joke.
You've completely missed their perspective. This wasnt about someone doing a better job of producing EVs. This is why people say political ideology rots the brain
US commits to EV or not has nothing to do with China or any other country. US generates the most pollution per capita in the world, EV or not, reduce pollution for future generation is necessary and again it has nothing to do with China or any other country.
Wow what a hit piece you can see the oil oozing out of the corners
I can see lines of people, hoping to charge their vehicles because unlike the elite democrats, don't have a house with solar panels on the roof.
Claims that the oil industry opposes so-called green energy is unfounded. A regulatory agenda that attempts to reduce petroleum consumption will actually greatly increase oil company profits. EVs may be reducing the rate of the increase in oil consumption globally, but global demand for oil and nature gas continues to rise. The petrochemical industry is needed to manufacture solar panels and EVs and many of products and services in sophisticated economies require fossil fuels. India has become the world's 4th market for vehicles. If oil consumption used for transportation declined other uses for oil will continue to create high demand for fossil fuels. Oil companies have tax advantages for investing in subsidized green energy.
Not a hit piece. Just the reality that EVangelists don't want to accept.
What a crap BEV hit piece. Why were all the so called experts senior citizen Republicans who never owned an BEV? Why did you only talk to one BEV owner?
You should say these old senile politicians should go to China to see China how nearly half of vehicles are already EV.
Probably because they were the only one capable of coherent speech.
If people do not wamt ev why usa need to put 100 persen tarip to Chinese ev???
To protect the unions which are tied to the democratic party
Only competitive products will be sanctioned.
The reaction of the US government proves the Excellence of China EV.
I'm in Europe, so that might change the experience. Been an owner of a 24kwh nissan van (env200) for over two years now, and everything accept the range (90 miles per full charge) has been great.
I've saved over 5000 euro on fuel costs alone compared to driving my previous petrol car. And zero maintenance cost so far.
Even with the short range of this first-gen van, we've driven to Belgium from France and it is perfect for day trips to the beach on the weekend. On top of that I can honestly say this has been my best, most trouble free, cheap to run vehicle ever.
I'll be back in a diesel 4x4 at some point as I plan to move the family to a remote Pacific island, and I will miss having an EV.
Just my anecdotal evidence, and it is sad to see the misinformation push-back from the fossil fuel industries pushing stories like in this film.
thanks for sharing your positive experience, i dont want to discuss it, but please: i dont work for no fossil fuel and i find the way they are pushing evs criminal and idiotic. not saying evs should not be a choice, but not imposed and most of all not in just a few years
Oil companies are one of the largest investors in tax payer subsidized renewable energy. When tax payers are taking the risks they can't lose.
Fools folly, copper is $3..00 a pound.
For the remainder of my life I will never have enough money to buy one of these vehicles
What country are you in?
That’s the plan, they don’t want the average person driving.
@@honesty_-no9he US
Well, if the US could manufacture low price, quality cars like China, you could most certyainly afford one. The small BYD Seagull would cost you US$11,500 if available in the USA - and there are literally hundreds of o/s cars available under US$40,000. It's simply not true to say that ev's are unaffordable.
Sad situation for sure, but since the average BEV and ICE vehicle prices are near the same, you won't be able to afford any new car. Fortunately, the used market for BEVs is becoming viable, so good used BEVs are affordable.
Obviously we need a competent leader who can solve problems instead of just passing mandates without detailed planning,. RFK Jr is our best bet, by far.
Well he's certainly preferable to the corrupt man who ought to be in jail and Donald Trump.
Not enough power is not EV fault.. its the government not doing its job
More electric power is wasted at night when demand is low. You don't need to increase power plant capacity. Just charging EV at home at night.
@@universalmirage1208
This is what happened in China.
Most EVs in China are charged at night. Because of the excess electricity at night, the electricity price is usually much lower than during the day.
The Future
A classic proof that the American people still think that US = World 🌎. Haha
Cost more than the average person can afford without everlasting finance, massive devaluation, huge repair costs if its even possible. No value when trying to get a newer model, dealers dont want them. Tyres wear out at low milage.if there were no subsidies no one would buy.
(Ev>gas vehicle) < public transportation
EVs require far less infrastructure than gas cars.
How many charging station do you need? Atleast 1 for every car...
U can charge ur ev at home for daily use, cheaper cost and cleaner air @@salttea8926
@@salttea8926 this is also true for traditional cars. You need at least one pump for each car no? And if you meant each car needs a charger no other can use, that would be incorrect
Nice joke
Keep dreaming.
EV's are environmentally cleaner where they're being used, but not overall worldwide
imma gonna vote fool's folly? until batt tech, charging infrastructure of a new innovation/way of energy storage that can make electric propulsion vastly more dependable to serve the needs of the masses?
Was this segment filmed in a time-warp?
at 7.10 . This woman says poor people cannot afford a EV. Does she really know a Chinese basic model EV cost less than 8000K USD? Are many Americans live in basement and never come out?
the cheapest EVs from GM Wuling cost only 4k!
I don’t think they would appeal to Americans, a bit like the old Soviet era cars Lada and Mosckvich
Tariffs have gone up by 100%
When your 8k or16 k eve from China needs repairs, who will do that? No one, it'll be scrapped.
When West is winning, EV is the future; When China is winning , is it Future or Fool? Come on, future or not , its up to the market, and China is largest EV market . West falls into the debating loops again just like highspeed train, 10 years after, EV is everywhere in China with latest/better battery tech while West still debating
You build a product that uses non-renewable resources for every part and uses fossil fuel from the electrical grid to charge it and call it green. Next topic Landfills and the rare minerals needed for this brilliant idea to make Elon wealthier. Who would have pushed this idea through every level of government?
Gasoline is one source & it’s a fossil fuel. What is you yapping about
Many such talkers have never been to China to see the actual conditions there and experience the EV system there. Toyota should heed the mistake made by Nokia when smartphone is kicking out traditional voice phone.
China is ruled by a totalitarian dictatorship
Costly and no safety
FUD propaganda.
The cheaper & safer EVs?
I heard that EV has 45% share in China
China is ruled by a totalitarian dictatorship
They’re the future & the NOW! Long past time too.
MOST OF US SAY...NO...TO ELECTRIC!
Many of these "Experts" are quoting really old new. Batteries are almost totally recyclable now. I agree the government should not mandate that people have to buy EVs. Economics and infrastructure improvements will make this happen. ....like when we went from horses to cars.
Edit: after watching the whole video, your agenda is clear based on your data and "experts". It was really stupid to base your info of legacy car experts and republican chants. (I'm an old republican). There are more tesla chargers than Chevron gas pumps. You neglected to note how much more the government has subsidized gas. The number one selling car, including gas cars, was the Tesla Model Y. COME ON! Ohhhhh. I just realized, you are paid by the oil companies. Nuf said.
infrastructure infrastructure infrastructure. But If you truly are worried about climate change, build 1000 Direct Air Carbon Capture facilities. Or let THANOS do his thing.
These people forsaw the problems with charging stations and electric power capacity but didn't provide any solutions or suggestions. Just talking about the problem doesn't make the problem go away. That's why the US is so messed up.
Not a problem with Tesla!
@@akennedystocks I am not sure Tesla has built adequate charging statiobs throughout all the states. If so, why can't other EVs be charged at Tesla's charging stations unless only the Tesla drivers can use them or the charging systems are different. But then you have the power grids to think about. Tesla charging stations still have to suck the power from the power grids which according to these people, the US power grids can't at present support so many EVs. Although Telsa has battery storage backup, but not enough.
@@whiteknuckles Other than a couple of broken states like California and Texas there is plenty of power. I live in Florida and Nevada and travel in-between and there really isn't any power issues unless you want to believe in the oil propaganda.
As far as Tesla the legacy automotive manufacturers AND STEALERSHIPS don't like or want electric vehicles.
About 80 percent of STEALERSHIPS revenue is NOT BASED on new car sales but in service and maintenance. So how are they going to survive with electric cars.
It is simple, they are not going to survive.
@@whiteknuckles Other than the two broken states of California and Texas there is NO signs, warnings or news of shortages in the grid. Matter of fact most people charge in the evenings when many large government buildings and businesses are not open which helps to create excess capacity.
As far as the over 50,000 Tesla chargers WORLDWIDE, if you had a Tesla and it took it across the United States you would know that it is a challenge not to find a supercharger along your route that would pretty much get you to 80 percent in about 20 minutes.
Don't care about the other feeble competition outside of Tesla they just want to sell their gas cars anyway and pretend like Elon Musk never made the first practical electric car capable of driving across the United States nearly by itself.
There is no solution. You can't just build a couple dozen nuclear reactors and redo the entire electrical grid of a state as big as the US in a couple of years even if you would have access to unlimited amounts of money. Mass scale electric transportation by 2030 is a pipe dream it will take decades and huge advancements in battery tech.
50% of all cars being EV's? At current prices , it will never happen.
So let China in. They already have everything that is needed to achieve 90%!
it's happening in China now.
But the mandates for EVs are not numbers, they're percentages. You don't have to sell many EVs to get 85% of new sales, you just have to crush ICE sales to near zero- this is how they did it in Norway.
@@user-jb2om7cm8m Norway is not our problem but I can see where this is going.
@@KA9DSL Yes, Norway is the cautionary tale here for everyone else.
Produce electricity from fossil fuels than charge your ev .
What country do you live in lmao. Gasoline is 100% a fossil fuel
EVs require far more infrastructure than gas cars.
We all know gasoline appears magically from gasoline trees, no need for pipelines, refineries, oil wells or filling stations.
@@dogphlap6749and all those rare earth minerals we need come out of the rare earth taps.
@@rolanddeschain965 Rare earths are not rare. The reason they are expensive is because they tend to occur together and they are difficult to separate. Electric vehicles don't even use rare earths in a lot of cases.
Let the market (the people) decide.
The world is constantly evolving, and technological advancements like electric vehicles (EVs) are leading the way. While current battery technology has its limitations, it's important to remember that innovation takes time, and improvements are already on the horizon.
If Americans fail to embrace this shift, other nations certainly will. China, for example, is already making significant strides in the EV sector and is well on its way to becoming a leader in this field.
Politicians often focus on job protection and maintaining the status quo, which can sometimes hinder progress. It's disheartening to see a lack of eagerness to advance and prosper. However, the future is bright for those who adapt and push for sustainable, forward-thinking solutions.
This video is either embarrassingly uninformed or it must be considered as oil lobby propaganda. The experts don't seem to understand what they are speaking about. It doesn't take 2 hours to charge an EV. "Rare earth" elements are a specific group of elements that are not needed for EVs. If you start from the abundant evidence that it is good for the economy and health to stop burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible, we either make EVs work or it is back to horses. So a video such as this should be discussing whether our future would be better with EVs or horses. EVs are improving rapidly. It is wrong to think about today's EVs in 2030 or 2032. By then EVs will be cheaper and better and few people will want to choose an ICE vehicle. We have to recognize that fossil fuels are the past and we have great emerging opportunities as we leave fossil fuels behind.
Anyone who complains about EV is obvious they have never driven one. For now and until battery range is improved including more charging stations, I highly recommend buying an EV and a hybrid if you need to cars in your family. EV for around town or daily chores and hybrid for long distance travels. I’ve driven an EV up the hills of San Francisco and I got to say the power is unmatched!
im pretty sure that going up the hills by jet is even more powerful...but other than accelration i dont see no reason to go EV...no way keep it for yourself, its all yours
Interesting they don't have Tesla commenting! They would debunk 100% of what they are negatively saying.
It is not more costly to recycle batteries. This guy is totally wrong. Tesla pretty much recycles ALL of their batteries.
Also that guy is at a Tesla supercharger, it no way takes 45 minutes. 25 minutes at most!
Love the lady, "when I talk to auto dealers". Other than Tesla, auto STEALERSHIPS can't make money on electric cars. Oh wait nobody wants wants an electric car:
Here's Tesla's annual revenue from 2020 to 2023:
2023: $96.77 billion, 18.80% growth
2022: $81.46 billion, 51.35% growth
2021: $53.82 billion, 70.67% growth
2020: $31.54 billion, 28.31% growth
The reason the government is investing in electric cars is because the legacy AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS are lobbying the government for more money because Tesla is going to put them ALL OUT OF BUSINESS!
Bottom line, nice commercial for oil and gas!
They don’t know about oil companies lobbying against charge installation legislation in state governments
Of course, EV has shortcomings, but its advantages are also outstanding.
I still believe that EV is the future.
Mild hybrid is far better than EVs
Monterrey México is also connecting with Seoul Incheon next August 2024
“Child labor, forced labor”, everything is Chinese fault, there is no Chinese EV in US, this excuse is getting old. BTW, GM owns 51% of Wuling, the best selling EV brand in China.
I also think EVs are the future and i believe that in time EV technology will evolve into a more eco friendly and more user friendly form. Especially as more advancements are done on fusion energy and more compact energy sources, possibilities will become limitless
By 2035? Keep dreaming!
@@davepaturno4290 why does it have to happen before 2035?

😆HAHA 🤣😂😜😝 yeah keep dreaming
Diana Furchtgott-Roth appears to know nothing about EV's.
Andrew Wheeler is talking rubbish about batteries. They are more expensive to recycle now because there are not enough used one yet to make recycling them cost effective on a scale basis. No one it putting them in land fill.
You can produce your own energy with solar. I guess you missed that. The cost of solar keeps going down. A lot of solar manufacturing is done in the states. That’s why China is trying to flood the market with cheep panels. This is a huge propaganda video. SMH.
all the government needs to do is tax all forms of pollution- then the economy will decide what is Best !!

Total BS
EVs are inferior in almost every way compared to gas cars. They accelerate well, but they depreciate faster than they accelerate.
Accelerating from 0-60 in 3 seconds is very useful when taking the kids to school or popping to the grocery store 😂
@@twig3288 I bet they limit EV acceleration within a few years because it is dangerous in 99% of city settings.
Yea when they don't compete in price, range, confort they advertise the acceleration.

Better use the resources to build better gasoline cars, EVs are not cleaner, are not environmental friendly at all, don't just look at the car itself, look at how electricity is generated, by burning something !! unless all power stations use nuclear but that is not possible, more electricity means burning more fuels and more emissions.
Combustion engines are definitely a fool’s folly.
Really? EVs are less efficient from their source which means more polution... It is all about business model....
Only when you have a house with solar in a warm climate, while foolishly thinking that everyone does as well.
@@davepaturno4290 he doesn't know that 90% of electricity comes from non renewable sources like coal petroleum... And there is lot loss of energy in reaching out homes... Look when Russia stopped oil export to European countries and how that impacted European electricity.... Beauty about Combustion engines is that it is atleast 95% efficient.. And from same amount of fuels you get lot less of distance from vehicle...

We have to make protection of our groundwater a priority. Hearing that used batteries' chemicals can leach into ground water is enough to turn me off to supporting EVs until a better solution is found for battery disposal.
It is all lies. STOP BELIEVING LIES! Batteries are over 90% recyclable and last decades.
Chemicals like petrol and diesel can also leach into the ground water

EV's are everything but eco friendly, they have much bigger impact on the environment than combustion engine cars. 13 rear earth minerals compared to 5
are needed to make an EV. Amount of increased mining will be devastating for environment. And electricity itself comes from the same fossil fuels, it is just nonsensical.

the EVangelists would say big heavy toxic batteries would be recycled after their use in BEVs ends. this narrative has no basis in fact because we have no global/massive BEV batt pack program anywhere in the world! meanwhile remember plastics and how recycling would make them harmless? what happened to our oceans, bodies of water inland and even our bodies (microplastics in all humans born after a certain year)? i fear the ecological disaster brought about by battery packs in BEVs would make the one caused by plastics look benign by comparison :(
Time will tell if ev is the right choice or not, if it's the right choice then US will get more left behind even to EU
Almost all of the speaker in this interview doesn't have the brain to say the main reason why many americans don't buy ev is because ev cost more than the ice vehicle in US and the government also doesn't want to build ev infrastructure for the ev user, always speaks about the problems that might occur without thinking and finding the solution to it, if the eu can do it why the us can't do it too, what a disgrace for us people
No need time to see. Just go to China to see how EVs are running. Almost half are EV and the proportion is growing rapidly.
Actually, the EU is pulling back on their initial, misguided plans to eliminate even hybrids, which are much solutions for the majority of low -to -middle income households.
