- If you buy an electric vehicle you will learn a lot about it in the first week. Here are some of the top 5 things I think a new EV owner will learn after purchase.

Very very brave charging that thing indoors.
Same here. Less things to break. Been 3 years 86k miles. Best investment with my EV. No issues. May give EV care 3500 to warranty the battery and motor an extra 150k.
The biggest problem with EVs is lower resale value due to battery replacement costs. What you save on gas with home charging and servicing, you end up losing due to higher purchase price and lower resale value compared to ICE vehicles.
Buy a second hand electric car. Problem solved.
Why and when should one replace the battery?
@@Harrythehun It's all relative to your circumstances. Aside from a battery fault, you won't have to unless the range is close to your commuting or regular journey distance.
My electric car doesn’t drive like a regular car - it’s much better. It has one pedal driving so I rarely touch the brake pedal. I love that. And because the heavy battery is on the bottom the car doesn’t roll in curves and almost feels like it has a suction grip on the road. All in all it is way more fun than a traditional car. By the way, I have a Genesis GV60.
i don't care, i don't want one, and never will, i don't mind that someone else wants one, i just don't want to be forced to have one myself, i want it to be a choice, not a mandate
I have stopped saying "never" Have changed my mind many times in life. And to be able to reconsider alternatives can't be a loss or a bad thing. Imagine politicians who never changed their mind and beliefs.
Nobody 'mandated' people getting rid of horses. Horses are still available if you want to ride one to work each day.
It won’t matter. If the EV crusade continues, the middle class will be priced out of vehicles altogether. And when you don’t have a thriving and working middle class, you don’t have a functioning society. Which is the goal of course.
Surely, like any other car, it will need new tyres , brake pads, steering and suspension checks, brake fluid and transmission oil checks / replacement , pollen filter change, air conditioning....etc. They aren't maintenance free. Engine oil change, sparkplug checks and air filter change every few years are no big deal. I/c engines will potentially have a much longer life than the EV batteries.
An accident may cause the car to be totaled if the battery pack is damaged. Some repair shops don't allow the car in the garage for fear of fires or can't fix them. Fires can't be put out. Black outs can leave you stranded. Insurance is higher for EV's. Charging stations need work. A Half hour wait to charge at a minimum. Luck to find a station that is working Resale value is abysmal. Not a good deal in my eyes.
Your use case of daily short commutes with occasional outings and charging at home is perfect for an EV.
How much battery percentage would you consume during a normal day?
1ST‼️ YA ✔️
2:20 Yeah another instance of new tech doing away with jobs. Also, I live in a big open State and both of my trucks carry big loads so EVs are not going to happen for me.
I dont have to buy one to know top 5 things.I wont buy one cause I'm not an idiot.Toyota hybrids do all this.I dont want to hear other morons coversations.Nothing to service,but ya still have to take for a service?
So why watch the video and comment? The guy is passing along info for those interested.
@@mowcowbell Have to watch to know what the story is.This chap spent money only to find what was obvious to many,who were smart enough not to spend the money.
@@dennisbailey6067 These EV evangelists think it’s fun driving around their plug in toy while being apparently oblivious to the fact that they are supporting global government corruption.
