VW will go from proud German automaker to an importer of EV's made in China........and expect the public to buy them. At that point, all you should give them is your middle finger.
Ideology meets Reality.
A couple of years ago my son was invited to spend part of his summer holidays at a friend's country house in central France. He had no idea his friend car was electric. The trip turned out to be a nightmare as they struggled to find working charging stations. He was calling me a retrograde before that trip when I used to tell him that EVs cant replace petrol cars. Now I'am his hero again...
Old people have two superpowers, experience and cynicism.
It's true for your son's reality, but if your son has driven a Tesla using the Tesla Charging network he would have been probably alright.
So you are right in your case or situation, but to extrapolate this into some overall truth regarding the EV industry, is false.😊
Tesla's are just as useless and as dangerous as the EVs made in The EU and China. The EVs are more damaging to the environment than ICE cars.
Also the mines are using slave and child labour to extract the minerals needed for the batteries.

VW sales collapsed but mainly in China as VW don't have cheap reliable electric cars. 60% of cars sold in China is electric right now.
They refuse to acknowledge the "electric (car) era" ended in 1910. It's not that they don't have a place in the market -- they have since the inception of the market -- they're not practical for the bulk of motorists.
Europe are flogging a dead horse when it comes to EVs
I cannot understand such a huge industry not putting up a fight against being told to spend billions on behalf of others.
Right, like who TF are these Govts? Human eating Reptoids, FFS? Why are they all so afraid?!
Tells you that a much more powerful figures than owners, CEOs, shareholders and top executives are running the show.
Companies are now led by finacial bourgeoisie not by engineers. They have same mindset as Green Khmers from EU. They won't opose the caste they belong to.
Yes it seems totally illogical that they'd go along with policies which will inevitably cause the implosion of their business model. It's like committing commercial hari-kiri.
Those big old lazy companies are full of chicken-shit go-alongs.

Germany was finished when their 'friend' the USA pulled the plug on their cheap energy.
Going green was a fatal mistake for Germany. I saw the drastic increase in electricity bills while I was there in 2009 and returned in 2016. They are paying over 3X what people pay for electricity in the US. Russia pays even less for electricity by the way because they didn't go "green" at all.
If we look at this just 10 years ago, this would have been seen as madness, wilfully destroying the motor industry. Totally crazy.

And you can bet a pretty big percentage of those 90k EVs registered were dealers pre registering vehicles in a desperate attempt make it look like people are actually buying these piles of garbage. In the U.K. 2022 registered EVs are now turning up for sale with just 11 miles on the clock. So they’ve been hiding these away and are now trying to dump them at cost. Sadly though, no one is buying them.
No,wisely not sadly.
Sadly?
This sales 'strategy' doesn't work for more than two or three years, if even that. At some point the number of unsold EVs cannot be ignored.
What a massive waste of resources and the damage that's been done to the environment just to manufacture all that junk.
@@marcodarko6941 thumbs up. Exactly.
I am over 50, own my own home, have off street parking and 95% of the journeys I do are less than 150 miles.
In other words an EV would work for me 95% of the time, but I'm still NEVER GOING TO BUY ONE because I can read & do basic maths.
There is no way replacing my fantastic 25 year old Subaru with an EV would mean a net reduction in my carbon footprint. Not even close. If you then add the misery & pollution caused by mining & refining lithium & cobalt, not to mention the danger to myself & my home from this dangerous battery technology, it's a total non starter.

On the 2nd point - YES. Vote in better people who will create better markets.
@@davidvanderklauw While I don't disagree the protection of property rights are vital to a market economy, what governments are doing is legislating/regulating what the market is permitted to produce and therefore what consumers are permitted to buy. They are neither defining property rights nor protecting/enforcing them, therefore I don't see how the OP's first point has anything to do with defining and enforcing property rights. On the second point governments can only create the conditions for better markets by minimizing their involvement in them.
Net zero will destroy livelihoods for sure. What makes it worse is that you are paying for it. Enjoy!
We are *FORCED* to pay for it, especially those of us with low and middle incomes hedging EV manufacturing by way of carbon credits, compliance credits, cost-sharing, etc.
I can only speak of the UK, but if you live in a place without the facility for charging then electric vehicles make no sense at all. The public charging network is a disgrace and shows no sign of improving. Think of the millions of homes that cannot charge a car, for example, terraces, flats and anywhere without an off road driveway.
It all goes back to common sense and reality.When petrol cars first came out it was the same argument.However in time they became popular and the supply network grew to accommodate them ALL without hand outs and rebates.
You can fast charge it at a charging station - and pay 20 per cent VAT on the price for the privilege.
Why would any country let the government decide what you can and cannot purchase instead of its citizens?! A tiny subset of people you’ve never met get to decide how YOU live YOUR life?!

Many people claim that these garbage piles for cars are very energy efficient.But to charge a battery, you have to change the electricity from alternating current to direct current, and there up to thirty percent of the electricity is lost to no use at all.

yes, its to move away from reliance on oil and to send the middle east back to the dark ages. The US has failed with its war machine so they'll just cut out demand. Probably applies for gas in the EU as well. Electricity is a micro market energy source and not reliant on global pricing that gas and oil are subject to.

Toyota has produced a report saying that the amount of rare earths in a full EV would allow for the construction of 6 PHEVs or 98 standard hybrids. The number of new mines required to produce said minerals and the energy needed for them and subsequent processing makes the total emissions chargeable to full EVs over their respective lifetimes 38 times that of hybrids.
There doesn't seem to be a shortage of any EV material yet.
Don't spoil the scam..
Locally here in UK we have been seeing EVs on council estates because of UK disability scheme. People can only charge these EVs at local shopping centres and the people who drive them need another car to pick them up when car is left overnight charging and same to go back and pick it up. They can't charge at home because often they only have on street parking. Also the disability scheme is basically refusing to supply them with ICE cars.

Nobody want an expensive car that has a 10 years life without the possibility to sell it.
10 years is optimistic. With what I would consider normal non-commuting use an EV range would fall below acceptable levels long before 10 years. Probably 5 useful years at most before a replacement becomes a matter of necessity. A battery would be too expensive and I doubt there will be much of a 2nd hand market.
Offer EV cars, sure, but don't mandate them. Let the consumers decide.

Government sales-mandates forcing price-cuts, do not indicate profit-margins.
They probably sell those cars with a loss. When the car goes down in price mean they have too many in stock, and they have todo something to get rid of them.

And now we learn that if somebody tampers with a device with a lithium battery in it, ( pagers / walkie talkies ) the battery can superheat and kill you at the press of a remote button. Just imagine the explosion with a 60 to 90 kwhr battery going off in such a manner, as in an EV.
Those devices had explosive material, likely PETN inserted into them by Mossad. Too much explosive to be the battery alone

Now they've all bought them, it's down to ordinary drivers to buy them and guess what - we are NOT impressed. Great for buzzing round the city (especially if you can charge at home) but not good for long trips and certainly no good if you don't have a drive or garage.

Here in Denmark the E.V. market is expanding but I suspect that is because this is a very small country with no long distances between destinations.
I only needed to find out a few basic facts about EVs to know that this was all going to end in tears. the most important one being that I assumed that it would start at the very bottom of the market and the batteries would be hired and exchanged at the station. It never occurred to me that they would be so expensive or that the batteries would be part of the car itself. This was never going to work, and may not have worked anyway. This is before we come on to the other many issues that have been glossed over as if unaccountably turning into a portable crematorium if not even worth a consideration. The truth is that nothing like it should be allowed anywhere near our public roads until such an event becomes less likely than being hit by lightning on a calm cloudless day.
Which begs the question, what were these idiots in the industry and in government thing? Were they thinking at all? Battery powered cars are not even a new idea. It was abandoned back then for very similar reasons that it should have remained so. Milk floats seemed like a good idea at the time, but were in practice an absolute disaster.
One can't help in thinking that maybe they aren't stupid at all, just extremely evil. If the plan was to destroy most of the worlds car industry and along with it most of the entire worlds private transport then EVs will turn out to be highly successful in achieving what they were set out to do. In the future if you want to go any further then to your local park or corner shop, you will either have to hire your means of transport or buy a ticket.
Consider the potential waste of resources and disposal nightmare from the megatons of BEV batteries degrading in fields of unsold cars.
I'd make them geofenced local community cars or something so they would at least have some utility until they quit for good.
The reason EV sales in the UK are as high as reported is that manufacturers are pre registering vehicle's on a massive scale then selling them at tens of thousands of pounds cheaper than a "new" vehicle, this can't continue for long before the bubble bursts and manufacturers go bankrupt.
How can they work out CO2 emissions for an EV. If that power is coming from coal fired power station it's likely to be more than a petrol or diesel. EVs simply export their emissions they are NOT zero emission vehicles.
Well no one TOLD THEM to DRINK the EV koolaid

Also while visiting la Rochelle. I notice 0 zero ev charging points around the town. Nor would you want an ev fire in such narrow streets
All wrong. A total lack of chemistry knowledge. There are 8 EV charge stations in the inner city of La Rochelle and 46 more in the outskirts. And petrol cars catch fire around 40 times more, pro rata the fleet numbers, so you should be more afraid of those.

Sounds like they have more sense than the UK gov'mint.
Sounds like an actual scam.
How many Ethiopians can afford a new car? My guess is 'not many'.
Another great video. The destruction wrought by these people is now verging on a crime against humanity.
Issues with suppy and demand........ Too much supply and no more demand.... such a shame NOT!!..
This madness won't stop until the Whiskey Echo Foxtrot Drinking Club says so.
As soon as goverment taxpayer handouts stops, the EV market crashes.
This isnt all politicial mistakes. Corporations just up prices constantly and don't keep wages in line with that and then wonder why no one buys their product anymore. I buy a car ever 12 years or so. I always get a huge shock when I go to buy. I did get a bit smug a few days ago however. There was a TH-cam review of the Fiat 500 EV and I said that was a great waste of £35000 for a city car. I got a flood of moans and rebukes. I looked them up on Autotrader last week and a year later with 5000 miles on the clock your 500 EV has lost over £16000! Good work guys.
Keep up the good work!
BMW closed Borne Nederland Factory. VW must close Factories in Germany. Audi closes Brussels Factory. Krupp Steel must close. Its only the beginning.
Europe does not care about the car manufacturers otherwise they wouldn't have decided on this 2035 date in the first place.
So I'm afraid they won't change anything, hoping that the manufacturers will come with cheap cars within the next 2 years
Lithium powered explosions are in the news. Grid scale batteries and EV’s could become vulnerable…?
Here in the UK we have a former top gear presenter one Quentin Wilson raving about the benefits of electric cars and the fact that he has been driving one since 2009 without any problems
VW: started by socialists, ended by socialists.
*Fascists.
Got a full service today, on my 2004 Grand Vitara, only 150000km on the odo. Starts everytime, dosen't matter if it's cold or hot😁
Where are all of the unsold vehicles being stored? What will they do with all the scrap?
Left to rot because it's cheaper that way than to invest again in their recycling. That's how it is in China.
