- Hey guys, today we embark on an insightful exploration of the electric vehicle (EV) realm. As the world eagerly embraces this technological revolution, it's time to address the elephants in the room - the obstacles, the uncertainties, and the opportunities that lie ahead.
Fasten your seatbelts as we delve into the reasons behind the deceleration of EV sales, despite the alluring incentives and price cuts. Buckle up, for we're about to unravel the seven critical factors that have cast a shadow on the once-promising EV honeymoon.
Reason 7: When Early Adopters Retreat
In a striking revelation, a study published in the prestigious journal Nature unveiled a surprising statistic that has raised eyebrows across the automotive industry. In California, a state renowned for its pioneering efforts in sustainable transportation, a staggering one in five early EV enthusiasts have made a U-turn, reverting to their trusty internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for their subsequent purchase. This reversal trend has sparked curiosity and begs the question - what's driving this shift away from the electric revolution?
Almost 14 million new electric cars1 were registered globally in 2023, bringing their total number on the roads to 40 million, closely tracking the sales forecast from the 2023 edition of the Global EV Outlook (GEVO-2023). Electric car sales in 2023 were 3.5 million higher than in 2022, a 35% year-on-year increase. This is more than six times higher than in 2018, just 5 years earlier. In 2023, there were over 250 000 new registrations per week, which is more than the annual total in 2013, ten years earlier. Electric cars accounted for around 18% of all cars sold in 2023, up from 14% in 2022 and only 2% 5 years earlier, in 2018. These trends indicate that growth remains robust as electric car markets mature. Battery electric cars accounted for 70% of the electric car stock in 2023.
Get real. What a load of rubbish. Oil lobbyists got to you did they?
Do you...seriously...think that oil "lobbyist" hide in every bush ready to jump out with a sack of money to pay off everyone.. That every "non EV commercial or praise evangelist video" is "paid off" ?
Do you have a special helmet?

Don’t forget during the pandemic interest rate was zero, free money was handed out, people were buying anything, including EVs , that kind of environment will not likely to happen again anytime soon.
Cars like Toyota Corolla costs around $24000 with 400+ miles range. Why pay so much for EVs? Full solar or solar hybrid maybe another option auto manufacturers should look into.
Why pay so much for an EV? Because my 2022 Model Y Performance is far better than the 2022 Toyota Rav4 not to mention the MY is a blast to drive. The MY also has 50% more cargo space and costs ¼ as much to operate and maintain. My uncle who owns the Rav4 did say that even though my Tesla can fart, his Rav4 does pass gas.😊 I will say that after driving my Tesla for 2½ years now, I would never buy an ICE or Hybrid vehicle.
Toyota is still in the ICE age.
1/5 of buyers regretting their purchase is no surprise since the range listed in marketing material is derived from average mixed consumption (WLTP and similar). Highway range is around 30% lower than this. A 450km car is actually a 300km car at 120km/h highway speed. And this is from 100% to 0%, which is unrealistic (real range is 10%-20% lower). This surprises many. Lots of cheaper EVs coming to market all the time with 320km range. Which is only 200km highway range (125miles, around 100miles without range anxiety). No wonder people buying these EVs are disapponted. 600km (375miles) EVs are still too expensive for the masses.
Home charger makes a massive difference to EV experience. But most people living in big cities don’t have one. You need an house. Some apartment buildings have parking halls and many are installing chargers to every parking place, but it takes time. It was a two year project to install 140 chargers in our parking hall for example. It’s getting better, but some early adopters will switch back to gasoline instead of waiting.
And where did you get those idiotic figures? Substantiate your BS. 🙄
Which cars have you seen have a 20% less range than promised?
@@TheSonyExperienceEvery car I have driven (about 500 different makes/models) or owned (22 over 52 years). The "Estimated Mileage" is just that: an Estimate. Actual mileage (hence range) is different and depends heavily on driving conditions, speed, distance, driving habits, ...etc. The variability in mileage can easily be 20% or higher as I have experienced personally over the years.
@@TheSonyExperience His Dinky toy.
LOL, You are one of those sheep that believe that. 1 in 5 LOL.
Evolution is a gradual change over unknown or unspecified timetable - it has never involved speeding up the process.
Yes, way smarter to buy an ICE vehicle and pay Peter every time you turn around! And get a slower, less refined ride.
For more loads of crap stay tuned for part 2.
People don't want EV's. People want Tesla's. They're not the same.
I just got a Genesis GV70 EV. It's better than a model Y performance in almost every way. I will give it to Tesla on their onboard computer. Genesis will be updating that shortly. They also have the Tesla chargers. I will be getting access to their charging network next year. In the meantime, I get free charging for 3 years at the many Electrify America stations close to me. Tesla's buying process sucks. And insurance is insane. I pre-pay 6 months at a time. It was month 4 out of 6 when I did a quote. It would be 600 more just for that two-month period. The genesis was 95 less for that 2 month period even though the retail purchase was $75K as opposed to the $55K on the model Y. The resale value as opposed to the cost of repair and limited repair options from tesla make it more rich for insurance than it needs to be
@@TheSonyExperiencenice ride! Unfortunately for me, they aren't sold where I live (Minnesota). Genesis has very limited EV production capabilities at the moment and I hope they can ramp to a more sustainable production rate because it is a very nice car. I am curious to see how it will compare with the refreshed Model Y when that comes out in 2025. Rumors suggest a 500-mile battery among other things. As for insurance costs, those are all over the map and is extremely subjective as to the insured person and vehicle. As a card-carrying old fart, my rates are relatively low for my 2022 Model Y Performance and my incredibly young gorgeous wife (I'm required to say that even though she is actually my age) pays about ½ of what I pay for her 2022 Model Y Long Range. Again, highly subjective.
That's my 2 scents 💩💩😁
Less people fall asleep with a Tesla, the shaking keeps you awake. But the rattles drive you crazy. Self driving lol.
@@BioniqBob - Shaking? My 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance has no shakes or rattles.... well, maybe it shakes a little at 148 MPH and my teeth rattle a bit when I listen to Deep Purple (yea, I'm old) cranked up to 11😁
BTW - the Ioniq 5 and 6 are awesome cars too!
@@TheSonyExperiencesounds amazing, I might need to check it out, as the next car after my model Y!
A great deal of the information in this video is dated and no longer accurate. The EV landscape is changing / evolving rapidly. Furthermore, mosr of what is mentioned in this video applies to the US. The EV adoption in the EU and China is far higher than the US. It's just a matter of time before catches up. EVs will dominate US new car sales perhaps as early as 2035 and much sooner if the US lets Chinese EVs into the US without tarriffs - but they would obliterate the US automotive industry (except Tesla) because the legacy automakers are currently in no position to compete. This sort of thing happened in the US during the 1970s and 80s when Japanese automakers clobbered the US automakers. History repeats itself and here we are again but this time with Chinese EVs. I find it fascinating to watch this unfold.
nice propaganda video. downvoted and reported for fake info
