I DONT EVEN NEED TO WATCH IT TO KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT'S SAD 😔.
7:38 its jack it up or take it off, its not jack it off. Ol scotty. 😂
Scottyyyyyy when is the right time to buy a Subaru crosstrek wilderness????
Who else is keeping their Gas vehicle as long as possible?
1929 Ford Model A, 1978 Ford F250, 2006 Mazda Miata, 2014 Toyota Camry. They all run and they all run well.
Jed Clampett
Hell ya !
@quailstudios Example...
Taken care of, takes care of you.
EVs and many current ice cars are explicitly made with planned Obsolescence built in ..
Keep the pre 2010 vehicles as long as possible.

Car Market Crashed for 80th time
bailed out by the govt, 80x
The markets crashed so many times but the prices havent changed very much.
obviously not always because of EV sales.
How EV s caused world recession
@@DavidBale-vn4op LOL.. that's rich.
Whats pissing me off is dealerships selling used vehicles $5k above what its worth.
Yes especailly the used cars around 15-20K seems to be overpriced by around 5k. I am holding tight just waiting for October or Novemeber hopefully! Keep us posted Scotty!! 🤷♂
there's dummies paying that much, so why not?
Dealerships can't sell at that markup unless people buy em. Dum asses.
Don’t buy it. Problem solved
Dealerships have ALWAYS ripped people off on used cars. They earn more money selling used cars than new cars.
Battery "miles" should ALWAYS be clarified as ideal conditions. Subtract a/c or heat, accessories, etc, and that would reduce the range by at least 20%. Many folks think this is real life milesge range. It's NOT!
Don't forget range loss in extreme heat or cold temperatures
Then you should do that for ICE too. Guess what? ICE range varies per mpg in the exact same way! That's why they explain under what conditions you can expect to get the MPG rating! My EV uses A/C all the time in 90+ degree weather. Impact? 1-2%, NOT 20! heat pumps actually produce MORE heat/cooling energy than they USE! Look it up! My expected range? 303 mpg. What I get in eco mode is closer to 330 mpg. So you are WRONG!
@@Argedis Guess what? ICE range varies per mpg in the exact same way! My EV uses A/C all the time in 90+ degree weather. Impact? 1-2%, NOT 20! heat pumps actually produce MORE heat/cooling energy than they USE! Look it up! My expected range? 303 mpg. What I get in eco mode (with A/C blasting) is closer to 330 mpg. So you are WRONG!
@@Trashed20659 Then why are so many complaints in the Tesla forums about WEAK AC? Because they try to make the heat pumps use as little energy as possible. Even a home portable AC easily uses 1200W+
@@Trashed20659 Fair enough. You live in your fairy tale world all you want (15 minute cities). The consumer is living a different reality. Lived experiences are effecting the EV market right now, not sales techniques and promises of utopia. EVs have a place for certain people and certain lifestyles, but that doesn't fit with a great many people today. Thus the weak sales results. Governments pushing an unrealistic curtailment of freedoms is not the answer.
Watch a few actual road test videos and see how they experience the EV reality!
I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado 5.3 L. It has 453,000 km won’t give it up anytime soon.👍🏻💪🏻🇨🇦🏁
Isn't that an LS3 motor?
2006 F150 178,000 miles without any issues
Nice!
I’ve got the 5.3L V8 in my 2000 Collector Tahoe, 63k original miles.
unless IT gives up.
2007 F-150 Harley Davidson Edition. 200,000 miles. Just need some new spark plugs. Still currently running.
Rivian just had a major EV fire at their factory in Illinois over the weekend, and the toxic smoke from it could be seen from 20 miles away. Good thing people are using paper straws though or we'd be in trouble.
EVs are so “green” 😂
Unlike the SAFE fires common to oil refineries, right? Thank god no one cares about the death of planet earth, because if we pretend it's all a hoax, the planet will go along with that and stop dying!
When will people realize liberals are crazy! Michael Savage said it decades ago; Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!
Major? 30 cars in parking lot? Wow
So you have problems with capitalism?? 😂😂😂
Today's EVs are not the future.
Yup. Just a short term fad. Unless the technology is hugely improved.
They will be past soon!
Tesla has answers for the EV Future today's Models Started in 2003, 2008 1st production car. Never stopped improving. Can't say that about many other manufacturers.
@@fabio40Technology in the Tesla's is way ahead of any other Car on the marketplace.
The real problem for people is Range.If it's a commuter Car then no problem.
23 Million cars Sold shows people want them, if you're in the right environment.
Elon has lots of promises and little delivery of anything.
I followed a Tesla Truck today for 10 highway miles. It held up during that time, but, my god, it’s a butt ugly truck.
Couldn’t agree more. Tesla screwed up by not building a normal truck and a normal SUV.
I saw my 1st one today. The stainless steel was a smudge disaster and it looked like a zombie apocalypse vehicle.
@@lajya01 smudge,disaster is an understatement. Look at one in a parking lot closely.
It's ugly but boy does that thing get you a lot of punani if you know what I mean
Maybe, but that doesn’t make ur a bad vehicle
Every time the government pushes something it's crap and no one wants it. Windmills Solar panels Electric vehicles. 😅
I had solar electric for my hot water and the showers sucked. My new place is all gas and I can’t even have the hot all the way up 😅
Federal reserve is another one.
“No one wants it”? Explain how my Tesla Model Y is the #1 selling vehicle….in the WORLD???????????? Love the thing. I use autopilot 99% of the time. The thought of going back to actually driving again really sucks. Plus I charge in the garage, once sometimes twice a week and I’m good to go.
@@Skyking6976. Come to the wrong place to use facts !
VA , SS , Medicare, Medicaid, roads, bridges, military , GPS, World Wide Web ,all crap I tell you !
I own a 96 Toyota Corolla, 2014 Toyota Camry, 2016 Toyota Highlander, these are reliable and give great service…will keep them for many more years!!!
Enjoy your traveling with all the money and time you have saved.
Good choices! We currently own a ‘19 Camry, ‘23 Camry, ‘07 Tundra, 2021 Prius, & ‘06 Lexus gs300! All just regular oil changes & ac replacement on the Lexus!
My 94 hatchback says hello!
You obviously have Toyota Delusional Syndrome………
2014-2018 Toyota Corolla, please help me.
That lithium battery fire happened back in July, but we had an electric Semi truck that caught fire on I-80 near Nyack. It burned for hours and shut down the entire freeway in both directions. All the other vehicles had to be detoured to other freeways.
😂 climate change did that
The one on I-15 Scotty talked about shut down all traffic between Las Vegas and Los Angeles for a day in the summer heat. No alternate routes out of it. I doubt if any Teslas stuck in the middle of that parade made it out alive.
But if it were a fuel fire (far more common) they would have just let traffic roll right through! LOL🤣😅😂🤣
We don’t have freeways in NY. There is nothing for free….Kathy Hochul
Scotty you have taught an old geezer about cars.Thank you I’m 73😂❤👍🏿
Yap
You are not old 😊
taught you nothing about EVs though.
Our second car is 2005 Lexus ES 330 with 195k miles. Runs great, not planning on selling any time soon. Trust it more than some of the new cars.
Lexus are great cars. Love my 08 LS460!
@@ambrooks5 I bet :)
any transmission problems? or have you done done the regular fluid changes
@@fasn279 yep! Never miss one. Also, I found on AAA website how to park a car so its easy on the transmission. I got it with 154k miles and I know that the owner had a valve job on it. Whatever it means. I have no issues ever since. Just replaced the belts runs great
Yes have a1999 ford with a 435.000 miles on it still runs good
My local Toyota dealer has 69 brand new Toyota Tacoma's in the back lot. My local Toyota dealer selling lots of Corolla Hybrids and RAV4 Hybrids. They told me not a lot of people want the new turbo Tacoma. My local Ford dealer has over 30+ of the F-150 lightening EV Trucks not too many people want them. The EV market is slowing down prices too high and people get EV range anxiety
Because Truck cost more and Toyota don't make it correctly. Higher price for more problematic product no one buying it.
60k for a F-150? Lol. Lmao.
Ever see the depreciation on a used EV? It is insane. Never purchase an EV…only lease
And who wants to be the meat on the BQ
Slowing down? It was never there, other than Tesla
In Australia, LG is swamping the TV with adverts saying to get all LG house batteries checked (at no charge) because they might cause damage and death!!
Proof that Scotty is the best old mechanic.
Also the richest.
He is, like to meet this guy in person sometimes
I like it back in the old days
Bought used cars for 35to 150 dollars and they ran and drove perfectly
One even still had plastic on the seats
Can’t even buy a beater with a heater for less then 1000
Can hardly even get a reliable beater for less than 5 grand 😂😅
Last car I'm ever going to buy 2014 Mustang GT. I'm driving 2012 Malibu to work, hope it lasts
I spoke to a financial services guy recently who is actually shorting the car market right now... Not a good sign. When inflation is up, the economy is doing poorly, and the average monthly car payment cost goes up significantly - like it has..., the car market goes into a free fall. Wait to buy a car folks.
Automaker are making billions
Hahahaha! You’re funny, Scotty. Thanks for sharing my Cybertruck story, but none of those pictures are of my truck. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A GEM dealership near me went up in flames. One of the vehicles in the showroom caught fire. Lithium battery
EVs are garbage. Dealerships will sell them to you, but they won't take them in on trade. Once you buy them, you're stuck with them.
Right. No resale value and horrible depreciation on EVs.
Rip off
Really? How did the US set a record for EV sales 2nd qtr 2024? You should contact all those people and tell them.
Just traded my BMW i3 in for a Equinox EV , just wait till my dealer hears this, thanks for the facts !
@@sdcoinshooter. There you go using facts on Scotties cult !
Scotty confirmed if you want a forever transmission, go with the manual ones. And enjoy it for a life.
Clutches, pressure plates and throw-out bearings wear out but its cheaper to fix than and automatic
In 1979 I was 16 and if I wanted to drive I had to learn on a stick. It was the last stick I ever owned. I hate them.
@@toddsmith1617 I agree. If its not a nice sports car sticks are a pain in the bottom.
The trick is it depends on what you're driving for a manual transmission listen to the engine, don't let them rev above 3 and a half thousand RPM before you let it shift that's how I was taught to drive stick shift you got to listen for it. Again it depends on what your driving for a stick, 25 mph u shift 40 to 45 mph 2nd shift . And then you go from there you give it about 10 to 15 miles per hour per shift.
I’d drive stick if I lived somewhere more rural. Rush hour takes the fun out of driving stick for me.
This is what happens when the government gets involved in the free market people.
The best solution I have seen so far, is a Hybrid. The kind that is in the 2025 Honda Civic. It gets 50mpg and it has Good power, it has a 4cyl engine and 2 electric motors in the drive train. So They Get rid of the transmission that requires "Fluid".. SO it is more reliable without that kind of trans.. And it runs on GAS.. So you may not have to plug it in and charge it remotely. Just fill up.
I have a 2007 honda fit that gets 40 mpg. If people didn't drive ego mobiles we wouldn't be in such a dilemma.
Two systems to go wrong. One or the other for me
@@peter7582 well I hear ya.. But they do get rid of the transmission which requires maintenance. And the electric motors are more reliable than the common geared transmission. That said, I have no idea "how much battery" they have. But I think it is much less battery than a Tesla.
That’s nice wait till it breaks specially the hybrid battery and it cost you five to $7000 and that’s if that they can fix it so have fun I went by the hybrid anyway you’re not getting no 50 miles to the gallon that Pipe Dreamz, but OK have it your way
Same with the Prius. They are very good and economical cars that last
The car-jack guy should have bought a jack at Sam's Club, fixed his tire, then return the jack!
Problem solved 😅
Why would he not have a car jack of his own anyway ?
Rivian co. Lot burned yesterday aas well ...ruined a a row of brand new rivian trucks
Considering they are loosing money by the truckload, I’d look into insurance scam
I know someone who is a firefighter and they said when a EV catches fire on the freeway policy is to shut both sides of the freeway down.
They do for fuel fires as well
Thats with just about any fire, the only major difference is that a battery fire will last longer
Its not only that people dont want EVs, we can afford anything right now.
Free education with scotty..saving $$
I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra that runs on compressed natural gas and regular gas. Love this truck. Have no need for an electric car. Who knows what the future holds but in the meantime I’m in the no column
Meanwhile Ontario Canada is in immediate need of MDs and funding to public health care to stop the leak to private. Big hosps reportedly have state of art surgery spaces but lack proper funding to staff and utilize them as much as they could be.
The goal is the end of private transportation,private transportation is freedom and all freedom must go.
You sound like a democrat
There's a great video of a Tesla sitting under the water, its fully open gull wing doors just barely breaching the surface, flames reaching the surface while the car busy's itself committing suicide below. The commentary mentions that the car warned the driver before it became menopausal and suffered a catastrophic hot flash. The driver struggled to get free before the space aged suicide box tried to terminated itself.
I don't think serious advances in battery technology are coming due to the energy density issue(thermodynamics) issue. You CAN make them higher energy density but that will only come at the cost of compromising stability and safety as well as longevity and rechargability.
We are making no advancement in anything we are literally just refreshing old tech and passing it as new, even look at cars we are paying high prices for the same thing we could buy 5 to 10yrs ago with minor tweeks
I once lived in a small town in Georgia that had a plant built to produce parts for EVs, I still wonder how much longer it'll be around.
Parts plants and assembly plants do the same thing. They open with government subsidies then when the subsidy runs out they close. The GM transmission plant in MD did just that
Im still getting 41mpg on my 2012 Civic if I run 80%freeway miles,Thats with 180,000 miles never adjusted the valves oil changes at 8 9000 thousand mile intervals. So why would anyone want an EV?
7:35 he can do what to the tire?
There is also a project in Quebec with Northvolt. They lost two big clients in the past six months and I doubt they’ll build the factory. They took money from our government however…
Another loss for Trudeau. How much is the subsidy for the Honda Ontario battery plant?
As well as ruining the ecosystem in St. Basile Le Grand
@@rubygreta1who said Trudeau lost? He’s likely already received any kickback he was ever going to get
I shall be keeping my Austin Metros going. 44 yr old and a 43 yr old.
First? Never gonna buy electric. I live in CA. Don't want to be told "don't charge your car, it's too hot out"
Exactly 💯 nanny state.
Kamala will make everyone get electric especially California.
Power outages is gonna be fun
Yeah, deregulation of the CA electrical grid has really screwed things up for a lot of the state. All of the places that still have publicly owned utilities are doing great! Hopefully, the government will come to its senses and take the grid back from these greedy corporations!
Regardless, who makes them What about the charging stations? And time to charge them?
GM can't build a good EV anyway.
They can't build a good ICE vehicle either.
Chevy Volt 😂
Thank you for bringing us up to speed! I went to the dealership today and they gave me the car! Thanks!!
RIP Electric Car Market. 😪😪😥😥
EVs are coming, like it or not, even faster if this current Obama administration gets re-elected. Yes, correct, Obama continuation.
Plug in hybrid at most😂
Amen to that
Biden's CAFE standards are forcing manufacturers to build and sell EVs. By 2031 all passenger light duty trucks (F150, 1500, etc) must get 50mg and heavy duty trucks must average 35mpg. The only way they can meet the standards is to sell lots of EVs.
BTW, if the EV market is dead why is the Tesla Model Y STILL the best selling car in the world?
All those batteries in our landfills is going to end up killing us all
Dump sand and dirt on it so you can clean up the mess
I have a 2006 Chevy TrailBlazer with 200,847 miles on it and it runs really good. Had to get new upper and lower control arms at about 194,000 miles.
I own a toyota 4 runner 99. Still runs like new
I'm an electrical engineer and battery technology and price are the main concern for electric cars. Technology maturation should be around 2028 due to solid state battery volumes which will lower the price.
EV's will always be a toys for the rich. I know 2 South Florida billionaires who have Segways collecting dust in their garages.
Electric cars are crap
7:38 its jack it up or take it off, its not jack it off. Ol scotty. 😂
What makes Scotty great is his knowledge of the industry and his...voice. But can you imagine living with him and hearing that voice every day. LOL.
Yeah, letting that guy use their equipment is a total legal nightmare for that company. Anyone not following this policy would get fired too quick.
They could be the future, but things need to change. The vehicles need to be cheaper, battery replacement and repair needs to be cheaper, and EVERY gas station needs a quick charge station that can fully charge one of these cars in 5 minutes or less. Once that tech exists, than maybe all electric will take off.
i live in a small tourist town in new hampshire i see alot of electric cars (mostly from massachusettes) its about 120 miles away (to boston)..i talk to folks that own them..when they talk..they seem to love them.
Watch out for those Massholes
Hyundai is currently building this huge EV production plant near Savannah, GA, and by how the EV market is looking. I wonder if they gonna stop construction soon.
If they don’t open the plant, they don’t get the government subsidies
Scotty’s glasses contain transmission fluid
I’m keeping my 2021 Corolla for 50 years
Hang onto to your gasoline cars , do not become an unpaid consumer tester.
The old adage "don't run before you can walk".
I say that instead of Electric cars, we should be talking about making our communities more walkable.
I survived but- my car died at the end of June and I didn’t get another until 7/19. It’s nearly impossible to get around where I live with a 4 yr old without a car with a car seat. I agree- we need to walk more anyway. That’s basically what we did, walked to the local pool.
If I could just ride a regular bike, even better
Can't even go outside with seeing needles or smelling fentanyl
😂
Agree. Plus it'll free up all the extra space that parking lots take up. Maybe bus stops every mile or so for those that need to go further than walkable.
I have a Toyota Solara 2004 263,000 miles running like a champion and no rust..👍🏿👍🏿
Don't be surprised if you have to wait 3 hours or more for a flat fix or tire rotation at costco...maybe certain days at certain times they might not be as busy, but busy they are almost always.
I just fix my own flats, carry the tools in my trunk. Cost a few bucks for the kit, and can fix about 5 tires. Cheaper and faster than Costco or Walmart Tire. WAY cheaper than Firestone, etc.
@@DarkForce2024 NEVER change a flat tire on a highway
@@garystar1592 Dangerous, sure, but what's the alternative? Call a tow truck to put your spare on? If you can wait, sure.
Our Ford dealership just filled bankruptcy and the sheriff's office seized 6 million dollars of assets 😢
Better keep track of those assets
The first EV's appeared in 1890 and failed, now it's over a century and EV's are failing AGAIN!
The best solution is evolving ICE to include multiple sources of fuel.
The ICE Engine is the future
At least this is not a past. The only real problem of ICE is not a technology but a fuel.
Yeah..... no... about as much the future as the horse was in 1900... still used and ridden, but not the primary transport.
Nah, Transporter from Star Trek is real future. Instant A to B, don't have to worry about drunks, people on phones, mariachi music blasting. That's what I'm waiting for.
@@DarkForce2024 😂 I like your thinking, but we'll sadly be long dead before then 😂
@@DS9FANINDADEFIANT True, but one can dream right? 😁
Me 20 year old Toyota and still going strong, why would I change from a nice cheap petrol car to an expensive nightmare or a car.
I wouldn't buy an electric golf cart much less an electric car.
Some guy waited so long for his Tesla, he started a competing electric car manufacturing business 😂
i noticed the ones pushing and driving EVs...also took and push the experimental jabs....and now their lives are full of unfolding surprises
Hardly. Many ivermectin loving purebloods love tesla performance.
You revived the experimental word. They were hoping people would forget that word and debacle.
@@nitpoon7982 you noticed RUclips removed my comment when I typed Iverm…..? The censorship is terrible.
I just bought two new work vehicles from Ford. Both diesels.
I was in Vancouver, Canada earlier this month and was looking to rent a car. Since there were no available car when I was doing my search, I opted for Budget's so called suppliers' choice. When I picked it up, it turned out to be an EV. I said HELL NO! I paid an extra $20 to get a gas powered Hyundai Venue for a peace of mind :)
A Hyundai for peace of mind 😮
The best way to but out a chemical fire is with fire suppressant foam. Highly environmentally unfriendly foam.
If you are burning that much coolant, I'd check to see if white smoke is pouring out the tailpipe.
You know, my dad always told me "don't talk about things you know nothing about".
Where I live in Ontario, Canada where PowerCo (a division of VW) is building a massive EV battery plant. Like in Eastern Ontario the Government gave them millions. I think it is only a matter of time before they put the brakes on this plant too.
Well no one will stand up to Trudeau so whatever he wants will happen even if it puts the country in bankruptcy
Cordless drills, leaf blowers etc are the battery's zenith.
2:16 IFA W 50. Saw a lot of them in Hungary when I was a kid.
EV is the future this guy is funny !I have both EV and ICE . A model Y and an old Camry.
EV might be the future. However, it is not better than what we have currently.
Don't use my tax dollars to subsidize cars that cost over $50k. Pay for them yourself.
I don't see it right now
@@johnyb-ur8tc that depends on your situation if you have a house that you can charge at home and don’t have really long commute Ev might not be for you unless superchargers are easily accessible In your area . For me I can charge at home and work isn’t very far so my next car will be another ev once you don’t have to worry about transmissions failing and how easy it is to charge at home it’s hard go ice for me
@@cryptocollector2967 litterally, 100%. Once the infrastructure is in place, there simply is no competition.
My 2000 gmc savana work van has 356,000 on it. I got it in 2012 for $3000 with 150,000 on it. Sucks on gas though, gets 10 mpg, but a new one costs 10x as much.
I have a '97 Mercury Grand Marquis....lol. Good one!
Sounds like LifePo4 batteries. They are really good and I haven't understood why car manufacturers are not using them
They have less energy density which makes them bigger and can't be packaged in such a way that would be on par with the Lithium Ion batteries... On boats where you see them a lot, space is less of an issue and of course they are safer with fewer issues.
Well, tell that to BMW which is building a ginormous electric car plant in my town.
BMW? It's a sissified British car. Who cars what they do...they are still mad for getting throughally thumped by the colonist 😅.
If they can't make a mid size electric car for $37k then they won't sell.😮
You can get a Model 3 for less already
These projects were funded by our taxpayer funds through the "Inflation Reduction Act".
Not the great Infastructure Bill?
exactly, along with the New Green Deal spending the Fed did..
I bought one of the first shipments of the Tesla M3 performance. I use the free night and weekend electricity plan to charge for free and I've never had a problem with it since buying it in 2019. I don't get the EV hate? Plenty of range, no issues ever finding a charger in Texas, and the thing just runs great. I've even road tripped cross country with it a few times, my only complaint would be the occasional self-driving "phantom brake" issue which is super annoying if the senor gets dirty on a long drive.
ozzy osbourne and Scotty might be long lost twins with those glasses
HAHAHAHAHA
YES!!! I've said this before!! Great minds think alike!!
I had a cell phone catch fire when I was trying to change its battery. Throwing water on it didn't put the fire out. I ended up dumping it and the mat it was sitting on into a five gallon bucket of cold water. That did the trick.
Well Scotty you got it partly correct. The legacy manufacturers are going to lose a lot of money this year. Their strategic plan is to stop developing EVs and reduce their own capital expenses for EVs. Just focus on their Legacy ICE products. With the idea that Tesla's existing production capacity is limited to about 3 million EVs without additional factories. The problem is EV adoption is still growing Even this year it will be up and it's not going to stop. Other vendors from Korea, the Chinese and the Europeans will step in. We will what happens. EV owners aren't going back, they are just better vehicles.
A study was done in California that 1 out of 5 EV owners revert back to ICE... in California the most EV friendly state
Nobody wants EVs forced let the market decide
@@Argedis Concur, just let the market decide.
@@GeorgeCudd And the market is deciding that EV's are crap, so they don't want them.
Vehicles still flying off the lot like hotcakes. Can't see anything collapsing anytime soon
Vote Trump we don’t want electric car mandate!
Yeah, Donald trump won't remove it, despite what he says he'll do, there's too much backing for it now.
@@DS9FANINDADEFIANTBS
He's all talk. He'll grift towards whatever puts money in his pocket, like all the other politicians.
Oh sorry, I meant drift. 😅
Musk ironically supports him
@@Hisway1151 really? You really think 1 man has more power than most of Congress, at best he will remove the support of Green funding. But do you actually want that? Solar and wind are now cheaper to install and build than any other form of energy now. And once they're built. They're built. And generate essentially "free" energy. Trust me, even economists that are completely separate to this are damn sure that this is where the market is heading. Whether with Donald's support or not, EVs are coming in the next 20-30 years. It's just a natural progression of technology.
I think people aren’t understanding that the higher the population the more busy businesses are which means you have to wait longer for everything. You see this at the DMV. If you live in Miami you wait hours but if you move to South Dakota 30 minutes is nothing for you
Thank you for the information and answering viewer questions!
Scotty Kilmer, I'm not interested in buying electric cars. Thanks for the great advice about automobiles. 🗣️ Peace
Hybrid Toyota or Honda is the way to go. Engine charges the battery so no plugging in and they get 35-50 mpg depending on the model.
500 kilometers is 310 miles in my conversion app. Not 600 miles
He said “hypothetically speaking” if these ev cars can run 500km, that’s half the distance a solid state battery can produce, which is 600 miles or 1000km, being double that of the lithium battery.
The separation between cars & people is starting to get wider. SSD batteries are the future of electronics & e-bikes are an important alternative niche market that helps people stay mobile & independent without being ripped off by the Unionized automobile industry . EV manufacturers need to stay independent like e-bike companies & sell directly to customers. BYD
