😊 Hey guys! We created the Chase Car channel to give viewers a broad overview of the upcoming new cars from the top car manufacturers. We are huge fans of pickup trucks of all sizes: compact, mid-size and full-size trucks. So mostly, we will cover new upcoming trucks, but besides that, here you can find a lot of content about new sedans and SUVs too.
The Electric Vehicle wave sooner or later will become huge, so this type of content might appear on this channel from time to time. But as we are still on the way to becoming fully electrical, we mostly cover fossil cars from many amazing brands.

🔴Do You Think Most People Would BUY an EV?🤔
🏆Tesla Faces its Biggest EV DISASTER Yet... WATCH HERE 👉ruclips.net/video/G_v0I5splj8/видео.html
Actually real studies have been done and not a single electric car can get even 200 miles to a full charge and after about 5 charges their ranges which is already been proven to be seriously blatantly lied about drops by half to as much as 1/8 of what the already small distance is and the cars actually have to have major repairs to full blown giant parts replaced way too quickly for starters the range actually the best one proven was the Tesla model 3 S specialty of a select variation that only about 10 were made and that one could get 187miles while the actual average was only 87 miles to 143 miles. Real investigations have been done to these vehicles do to so many issues and the findings are horrible to where much of the planet is actually banning them. Also the charging times is bold faced lies and to keep the charging time down turns out the vehicles tell people to charge sooner so they don't lose as much power too quickly and make it seem like they are keeping charges whin in reality the engines require 37% charge at all times or the computer will lock the user out and not turn the part of the engine that allows the vehicle to drive on until its charged and the batteries will only charge for about 20 minutes using fast charge which ends up also the cars will not exceed 83% charge do to the fact that if the battery cells are fully charged they have a tendency of exploding the vehicles so in reality at most you are charging 44% of the battery not 100% and that is at most also the 20 minute time is a blatant lie and the real time is 2 to 17 hours. They are slow as hell charging yet so many people lie because they refuse to admit to themselves that they got scammed. Turns out electric vehicles don't actually turn off fully because the require themselves to always be running to keep the battery from freezing or seizing up so the vehicles have to always be running part of the motors to keep the vehicle from either exploding or never turning on again . They have so many issues that its not worth it. Also if the government stopped spending trillions to lower the cost of this garbage the actual value of them would be around $200,000 for the cheapest and the average cost would be around $5.7 million per electric vehicle but do to government over reach the actual value of the cars has been blatantly hidden to try and switch over to something that does not work because the government is failures at reality. This stuff gets worse and worse the more you actually do research into and you find out that the technology has not gotten better in fact there has not been any actual break throughs in electric motors sense 1953. The only technology that has gotten better is computers but the computers are not the engine that keeps it on nor what charge it what the computers do is regulate the engine from turning off and block your ability to control your own vehicle. The actual distance they travel and how the batteries and motors work in them has not changed at all in 71 years, The reality is the technology advanced to its peak in efficiency with this garbage before most grandparents were born. Sure they have put the motors and batteries into new frames and using new lights but the actual underlying fundamentals of how the vehicles run has not changed at all in 71 years while gas vehicles keep advancing and becoming better and better while the only thing that changes with electric vehicles is cosmetic adjustments and nothing else. It peaked 71 years ago and now rich people are wasting money on literal garbage. Also the actual value of these things drops by 98% after a year because they have to have the entire battery replaced every 180 to 340 at most charges. This stuff peaked almost a century ago and its never gotten better at all in fact you might say its gotten worse especially when compared to its counterparts gasoline and diesel. Hydrogen is even worse when you realize it requires its counter parts of diesel and gasoline to transport everything for them and to create and mine and make them functional. Basically they are worthless. Everything ends of proving that diesel and regular petroleum works better and has far less problems.

I read all of that rather large comment.
You come off as a Very intelligent, astute student of The Great *"Scotty Kilmer"* . 🧐 📚📚📚
Very well Done . 👌
Short form: unless things change a lot, the public is not going to be any more interested than they are today.
@@jordancambridge4106 LOL. Whatever you injected when you wrote that, I want some.
EV sales in China grew 31%, compared to the same period last year. Tesla Model Y is still the most sold car in China, while BYD sells more EV's than any other brand. China's EV market comprises 60% of the whole world's EV market. Which means that perhpas Tesla may face problems in US (and perhaps even close its factory), but not worldwide.
High, forefront tech is losing more and more in the US, compared to China, and is lagging behind in:
Total cars produced;
EVs and Plugin-Hybrids produced;
Bullet trains and railways;
5G and 5G tech
Shipbuilding
Hypersonics
Roboters in use (China has ca. 4 times as much in use as the US)
Space tech
GPS
Construction machinery
Tunnel boring machinery
High-rising building tech
Household appliances tech
Lighting
Drones
Green energy - Solar and Wind
Etc.
The more the US refuses to modernize, the more they are doomed to collapse.
What they want is everyone not driving anymore.
Who is "They"?
EV's, an illogical solution to an imaginary problem.
Absolutely correct
Nailed it.
"Our planet is in danger! How do we save it? CONSOOM MOAR!!!"

Conman musk time is over!
Something else no one says, the DEALERS won't take them back in a PX, they just don't want them
They have zero resale value. That is why dealer's won't trade them. What's more Musk never has ever tried to set up a second hand market for the obvious reason. No one wants them.
Funny bc the used EV prices say you are wrong but you keep trying.

Funny that *"The **#Hertz** Rental Car company"* is taking a beating trying to get rid the 100,000 EVs that they are dumping.

That can be GooGLed, Hertz Firing of that dude.
Never an EV. Only ICE for me and my wife.❤
Well bless your heart
I'm way too lazy for EV's. I like my cars where they wait till I'm ready to go and not the other way around.
HAHAHA good statement. :>
L😂L Very Nice 👍 👌 👍
(I might have to steal this wonderful comment of yours.)
I'm way too lazy for EVs. I like my cars where they wait till I'm ready to go, and not the other way around.
(This is a test. I never stole another's comment B4) 😶
But politicians and salesmen said, that scientist said, that the world will end if you don't buy their products !
Things to love about EVs:
1. Child battery labor
2. Range anxiety
3. Risk of garage fires
4. Paying 20k more than a comparable vehicle
5. Battery degredation
6. Poor resale value
7. Reduced performance in cold, highway
8. Higher repair costs
9. Awful charging network experiences in the weather without restrooms
10. Higher insurance rates
11. Replacing tires more frequently
But hey theres a tax credit!
What's not to love!? 😂😂
You hit it right! It’s just a toy or novelty thing to me, has always been. Will never be equal to ICE’s.
...and the problem is.😂
Buying an EV is the worst financial decision anyone could make. They are very problematic. Very expensive to own. Very expensive to repair. They don't make it thru the warranty period without having issues. My neighbor got sucked into this whole green b.s.. Now he owns an EV that he hates. The EV is sitting out in the driveway unused. A new Toyota Camry ICE vehicle has now replaced it and no one wants to buy the EV from him. He's upside down on it. Repo time. This is so common.
Tesla has the most repeat customers
Kind of kills your arguenent
No desire to buy a stupid EV
None
EVs are over priced junk! Hard to repair, short range, few charging stations, expensive insurance, may burn your house down and hurt the environment.
They are NOT New... The've been around BEFORE ICE cars.
@@henryhill3778sure were
@henryhill3778 That's true. But why did they go away quickly? Answer: Range, charging, and reliability. Nothing has changed in 100 years.
Extremely dangerous in the trafic, as well. Since they are so ridiculously heavy due to the battery. An ordinary car that weighs three tons should absolutely get banned and stopped from driving on the highways.
EV's are fast, comfortable, fun and quiet. Those are the reasons to buy an EV.
In the UK poor taxpayers have been subsidising rich company car drivers to drive EVs through massive tax breaks. It’s immoral, and thankfully stopping. Also the second hand EV market is crashing as the market is flooded with all those subsidised cars which no one else wants! The savage depreciation far far outweighs any alleged savings in fuel costs.
Will NEVER be EV only, by 2035, as planned.
that's cos the plan is to ban sales of NEW ICE vehicles, NOT all. there 'll be plenty of used ICE cars on the roads for years and years after 2035, so we can all relax in this knowledge.
Maybe renovate a classic.
@@Acemeistre Exactly! All of these chicken littles claiming the sky is falling when in most countries you will still be able to be driving an ICE car until around 2055 (say you buy the last of the ICE cars permitted in 2035 plus 20 years of life for your car). That is 31 years from now. I won't be around in 2055. Statistically, most people over the age of 40 won't either. And those under 40 really think that man is too stupid to transition from an ICE car to some other technology? Lol. The stupidity on display is staggering
Why? Because Form follows Function. There is a place for EVs just like there is a place for ICE depending on your needs (Functions).
Charging times also have a huge problem in that repeated fast charging shortens battery life a lot. It would appear that this aspect of ownership doesn't have a good solution.
But the vast majority charge at home and never need to go to a charge station, most people on average do around 30 miles a day.
@@Rambo9700Wow, and so these people bought a very expensive vehicle for short hops to the market, maybe a meal out, run the kids to school, or you know, simple trips they could have bought a small used car for. Stupid never sleeps.
ICE till my dying day.
I can fix an ICE myself. I cannot fix an EV. I will not own a vehicle I cannot fix.
Me too,I’m not being coerced into buying an EV they’re crap and in some instances dangerous,if we all stick to our guns things will have to change,I’ll keep my diesel until it corrodes away in front of me,no matter what it costs me to repair it’ll still be cheaper than the depreciation of an EV.
Way to call it chuckles….thin thing the rich costal elites don’t get. Unlike EVs older cars are cheaply and Easily fixable. I pitty the next generation that has to work on these Explosive Vehicles.
@@ImLivinSD They are screwed!
The main and most important reason why people are not buying EVs has been left out here. 80% of drivers don't have driveways or garages where they can charge an EV on the cheap overnight. All the other reasons mentioned here are trivial in comparison.
The EXACT reason I don't own one: living in an apartment with nowhere to charge it. If they installed a charger, I'd definitely get one.
You nail it
I don't think hauling weight and losing a ton of charge is TRIVIAL
True, but that value isn’t 80%
@@CombatSport777 True, it's nearer to 90% in most of Europe.
my brother dumped his preis for chump change and went back to gasoline, he was embarrassed as he raved about it and won't tell any of his family why
First time I have seen it spelled correctly. 😉
Prius is gasoline. Maybe he wasn't putting gasoline in it?
@@timothykeith1367 right,the Prius is not an electric car,it is a hybrid,I own one and most of the time it is running on gasoline
This didn’t happen.
I'm glad we have a Prius. Those "preis" things sound messed up.
EVs would be a horrible investment
This is the best report on EV issues. The early adopters phase is OVER! No rational buyer will set the pace
I get that you hate EVs, don’t want an EV, probably never driven one either and are just afraid of change. But surely you have the intelligence to follow data. Google makes it easy. See how many EVs were sold in 2020, then 2021, 2022 & 2023. The number keeps growing and the first quarter 2024 EV sales are higher than the same time last year. We are well beyond the early adopter phase. We are going EV whether you like it or not. Get over it
@@zoransarin5411 Why do you say hate? Just because people does not want a product does not mean they hate it. The aggression comes entirely from your side admitting that they will not take off without total enforcement by a Soviet style state and you do not care. That is the real hate and venom in the situation. Even the BBC in its own little world separate from any need to worry what its audience think is talking about EV sales falling in the UK so it cannot be good. Trying to brand indifference and public disdain as hate is just a tactic in any cultist movement disinterested in what other people think and trying to impose their own narrow world view.
@@zoransarin5411 until EVs can last as long as an ICE they won't do shit but be a cool toy. That's the reality, most cars on the market are used cars.
@@MrToLIL Then show me some facts that support your THEORY that they don't last as long. Surely there is a study somewhere into this. Show me? Otherwise it remains just a theory on your part.
@@michaeld5888 a lot of gobbledygook in that statement Michael, none of which addresses my point that the data shows EVs are coming and not slowing whether we like it or not. Look at the data. Your comments that I am a soviet or part of a soviet society is just childish. Grown up dude
People have now seen how horrible electric cars are in winter. Ranger is greatly reduced in cold weather, and charging takes much longer.
Add to this limits on where one can actually go. If you want to leave major metropolitan centers, you better take a long a generator, because charging stations simply aren't there.
While depreciation is mentioned here, it can be difficult finding anyone who will buy a used EV at all. Many dealers simply don't want them as trade ins. Basically, when you buy one, you have to think of it as worthless down the road.
Oh, and don't forget homeowner insurance! Companies are dumping homeowner policies if you buy one of these fire hazards. EV's catch on fire waaaay too often for companies to want the risk.
The EV "range" is worse than the EPA rating on ICE vehicles. EV range is based on even ground, low set speed (35 mph), low carry weight (1 passenger) and nice ambient temp (no summer or winter driving). So as long as you don't accelerate, brake, eat too much, go faster than a school zone, and you only drive on spring evenings you can reach the "300 mile range" but only if you don't "supercharge" the battery or else the damage will lower the range.
How would you want to be behind 3 cars with a 20 minute charge up time . My gas car can fill up in about 3 minutes .
An when you charge that fire trap at the charging station if your lucky your fire trap want catch on fire!
I doubt I would ever purchase an EV. Maybe when they have 500 mile range, fully charge in 3 minutes or less, tow 8,000 lbs for 350 miles without a charge, and seats 9. My Expedition EL can do all that…. Let’s not forget a 15+ year lifespan without battery failures, 30-45k price and lower insurance costs. Until then, I’m out…
In summary, impractical and expensive in every way you can think of.
You missed the following tires, battery replacement……
If the EV was a viable solution, the government wouldn't need mandates and legislation to force their sale.
No! The problem obviously is that we is too stewpid to buy the magic Eee Vees.
Without battery swapping, EVs won’t catch on. No one wants to wait for charging and no one wants to buy a new 30k battery because the one they have degraded.
China is slowly figuring that out and more and more companies are joining NIOs charging/swapping infrastructure.
Charging times are not likely to improve anytime soon. The issue isn't the battery. The charger is the bottleneck. It's like filling a swimming pool with a garden hose. It's how fast the hose can deliver water that determines how long it will take, not how fast the pool can be filled.
Chargers are already close to the practical limit for how much power they can handle. The faster a battery is charged, the more current is running through the wires, and the hotter they become. They can only be so hot before they can't be used.
There is already a hack to use a wet towel when charging during hot weather. It helps dissipate the heat, thus allowing the charger to increase the current flow slightly.
That's a questionable tactic, as all that's happening is the sensor in the handle is being tricked into thinking there's less heat in the wires than there actually is. The issue of excessive heat buildup hasn't been solved. It's being masked.
And, there is a limit to how much power can be delivered to a given location. The more vehicles there are charging at once, the more the power has to be throttled to prevent an overdraw from the grid.
As it stands, batteries are already being charged at slower rates than they are capable of handling. It won't be a simple matter to change that.
And there isn't any magic new batteries coming. Scientists have been through the periodic table already and there are only so many elements to choose from. Lithium Ion has been around since the 70's and it pretty well maxxed out. This is what we got folks.
And if you do rapid charge all the time, the battery life and capacity gets smashed. Also happens if you regularly charge over 80% or discharge below 20%! It’s a joke!
It's the battery. If EV batteries are people, they would need 2 hours psychiatric sessions every day or they will burst into run away thermal rage in random moments 🤣 Lithium batteries just can't take the stress of everyday life. All the charging and discharging everyday and night, do not charge above 80 %, do not discharge below 20%, the bumps and sudden braking of everyday driving, the faulty busbar, the slow burning resistor made in china tucked in the most inaccessible place, the unseen arcing of battery terminal #4 at subpack 18, the rock that came from nowhere that hit the undercarriage, the pothole that suddenly manifested on the road, etc. They just can't handle it. EV batteries are the snowflake versions of power storage 😂🤣
All the nerds already bought this crap, no one else will ! After the nerds there is no market for any EV !
So why is the Model Y the biggest selling car?
Y don't I believe that?
Buyer's remorse means that maybe some of them even bought the car believing they were saving the environment, but these are the people who are easily manipulated and deceived by the media, government or anyone who says fast food is healthy
Not only EV early adopters, people are loosing their jobs.
EV are JUNK! EXPESIVE, Low range and wealth problems hard to do repairs
Working on one is so much more dangerous. Not to mention no one wants to store one in their lot!
EV is old tech, by the way.
But the government has mandated that everyone shall drive an EV in ten years? How is it possible that it's not gonna happen?
Many of us will long have been euthanized by then.
The ironic part is the mandates actually slow EV adoption. It actually incentivizes people to fail at EVs to have the mandates get pushed back by reality and reality always wins. GM back in 1997 actually tried to get a working EV the EV1 and the second California started trying to push absurdly unachievable and expensive mandates GM scrapped the whole project and destroyed all the cars.
It also psychologically makes people think they are inferior cars because why else would they need mandates.
@edouglasroche, that mandate became a major turn off..it's not only EVs they are mandating but gas stove to electric, gas water heater to electric, here in CA..now who is going to pay for all of that?
@@RacerX1971you will pay for it if you live in Cali. Taxes baby!!!
@@Immigrationsituation , heller, I'm already paying for it and as well as you cuz it's a federal thing 🤪🤪🤪
Be interesting to see how evs would be adopted without coersive laws promoting them.
Yes, and don't forget all the effort to push up the price of gasoline and diesel fuel.
Henrey fords wife drove a battery car , so i would say thats really old technology.
You forgot 2 words: thermal runaway
I expected the video to address the fact that EVs are essentially disposable automobiles because of battery degradation.
It is supply and demand; lower the cost until the product starts to sell.
No... Its not supply and demand. Its an inferior product that costs more than the superior product.
Top trumps.

If EV's were one dollar a car, I still wouldn't buy them.
Americans mostly buy used cars. There isn't enough new EV sales to trickle down to trusting 2nd hand buyers.
@@timothykeith1367 Only an idiot would buy a used EV !
You could not pay me to take an EV.
Can’t make profit if you have to sell below manufacturer cost
There´s actually only one reason why this is over. Everybody finally understood that EVs are disposable articles, and most people do not have the kind of money to buy a $50.000+ disposable article. You can´t sell those things after the lease, whatever was the agreed upon final payment will be a lot higher than what your car will be worth after the agreed upon contract time, not even the vendors will take those cars back at a "normal" rate.
Tesla china sales are crashing. Cnev Post has all the figures. Great stuff
The technology is not "immature", lithium batteries have been around for over 30 years. It is a mature technology and there is very little scope for further progress. If it's not good enough now, it never will be. It needs an entirely new technology and there's nothing in the pipeline.
What a world it would be if the critics weren't sensored. Thanks for being intelligently critical. Be well
If you don’t live in an area where charging stations are available and if you don’t have a charger at home EV is not for you maybe look at hybrid
Maybe don't look at a hybrid and get a normal gas powered car.

EV sales are presently going down but the decline is even larger for gazoline cars.
To conquer the market, electric cars (EVs) only have to be technically superior to the Internal Combustion Engine cars (ICE). It’s clearly the case.
1. EVs are simpler to make: Tesla, for instance, has reduced the number of pieces for the front part of the vehicle from 70 pieces to only one. (It’s the same thing for the rear part of its vehicles.)
2. Tesla, BYD and Volvo demonstrated that it was possible to produce profitable EVs; something legacy producers like GM or Toyota are unable to do. It’s because they feared bankruptcy that many companies stopped producing EVs.
3. The price of EVs is falling rapidly due to the rapidly falling price of their batteries (- 30% in 2023).
4. No cobalt or nickel are used to produce the most modern EVs.
5. EVs pollute much less than ICE cars, especially when they move.
6. EVs are more stable on roads because their heavy batteries are located at the bottom of the car.
7. EVS protect better their occupants when there is a collision due to the rigidity of their battery packs.
8. There are fewer than ten (10) moving parts in an EV engine compared to more than a thousand in an ICE car. That reduction in the number of pieces means that less machinery are used to produce them. As a result, producing electric cars creates less pollution.
9. EVs accelerate more rapidly than ICE cars when their drivers try to overtake other cars.
10. The brakes on an EV last much longer due to their regenerative braking system.
11. The dashboard of an EV is much simpler to produce since almost all the controls are on the on-board computer.
12. There are fewer liquids in an EV (windshield cleaning fluid, battery fluid).
13. EVs are roomier than ICE cars because their engines are much smaller.
14. Most technical problems on an EV can be solved ¨over the air¨ without having to go to a dealer.
15. EVs don’t need to go to the dealer for regular maintenance.
16. Everybody can buy an EV on the Internet without having to go to a dealer.
17. Recharging an EV is 80% cheaper than filling the tank of an ICE car.
18. Nowadays, there are multiple ways to produce electricity. (N.B. In 2023, solar panels are the cheapest way to produce electricity. And they almost never need long transmission lines).
19. Nowadays, charging stations are everywhere while the number of gas stations is decreasing.
20. Contrary to ICE cars, EVs can be recharged at home.
21. EV owners say they have no problem with the autonomy of their vehicle.
22. If EVs explode from time to time, 200,000 ICE cars explode every year in USA.
23. Finally, we need to replace ICE cars with EVs for two other reasons. First, because petroleum is becoming scarcer on the planet and, second, because we all need to stop depending on an explosive region like the Middle East for our main source of energy.
24. Etc.
Try one out in the winter and at night when you have to use your electrics for lights and heat. Couple that with the fact the batteries do not charge will in very cold weather. EV technology is not even close to ready for prime time. A rich man's toy is what they'll remain for many more years.
Maybe a few fewer African kids will have to mine cobalt with their hands if EV sales dry up.
Blood batteries
I like the report, but the main issue is the huge expense of EV's. Very costly way just to do grocery shopping. It's still not proven
technology not like gas cars that have been around over a 100 yrs.
I have a feeling EV’s will go the way of LPG cars before too long.
You can buy but need a new one every 6~8 years.
As a recent retiree from a Fortune 100 electric company, I'm surprised not many people are mentioning a critical piece of the EV puzzle: getting electricity to the chargers.
The piece of the electric infrastructure is _distribution_ - the link from the roughly 100Kv and up transmission lines (which are not a big deal yet) to the sections of user connections. A distribution substation - a sub that accepts distribution level voltages, like 69kV, and distributes consumer level power (below 1 kV) typically supports somewhere around 20,000 to 100,000 homes. That is what a charging center with hundreds of chargers needs.
Where does that infrastructure come from? I don't know about other states, but here in Arizona the provider (electric company) pays for maintenance and ratepayers pay for capital projects like substations. Unless it is an emergency the provider asks the Corporation Commission for a rate increase that will cover those costs. If the Commission approves the increase the provider can get the ball rolling. In as little as a handful of years later the feed for the charging facilities will be completed and the new, improved (he he) rates will be in force. If the Commission gets too much pushback for the increase the charging stations will be tiny, ineffective things like we have at present.
One other thing: the rate increases to pay for the capital upgrade will necessitate the end of "net metering" for the state - the dubious practice of forcing the electric provider to pay retail prices for excess electricity generated by residential solar rather than at competitive contract rates as federal rules have traditionally required. If net metering stays in force the solar provider would be evading the capital improvement costs that the bulk electric provider has to pay.
Yes, it is rather screwy but it wasn't my idea.
Ev been around since cars have been started way back then. They proven not to be reliable especially for long distance
Imagine if your vehicle came equipped with a protective shield, enclosing it within a 30-foot cube that contained all the air inside. Given this eco-friendly scenario, which type of car would you prefer to drive: a gasoline-powered one or an electric vehicle? Let's prioritize sustainability and minimize pollution for the well-being of our planet.
I read that Hertz rental charged a customer over $200 to charge up the Tesla
Unless you drive till they drop I recommend leasing. Let the leasing company worry about depreciation.
My brother bought a hybrid economy car , I said not to , I enjoyed your video .
I wonder how many 'Alexa' got thrown into the cupboard or dustbin once the novelty wore off ? Same with EV, they had a novelty value at one time, but no longer.
I would never even consider paying over $10,000 for a transportation car. To do so would be absurd. Yes, I have a couple of expensive vintage collector cars, but they are toys/hobby cars only, and are rarely ever driven. When you use a vehicle for transportation, it gets trashed very quickly. What kind of fool would pay over $60,000 for a car, then take it out and beat the crap out of it? Apparently there are a LOT more fools around than I ever imagined.
They get “free money” from banks so they can do whatever they feel like explains everything we see
EV's ARE
Ev's ARE one of the WORST experiments for the ENVIRONMENT, they were tried over ONE HUNDRED YRS AGO, failed then too.
- No infrastructure nationwide.
- Mining minerals destroys the planet, have you seen? it's horrific.
- The toll on human lives of all ages who die in the mining fields EVERY day.
- EV's pile up to be discarded (where?).
- Purchase & Repair cost are more than 80% of people can afford.
- Insurance rises with numerous expensive repairs.
- Distance is shorter than advertised.
- If you live in a city it may work for you, but for rural or traveling it's a massive fail.
- Charge time is a nightmare.
- Expensive to charge if you find a location when traveling.
- Fires are horribly hard to put out once the battery sparks, it takes hours more water, ask a fireman.
- Very little planning for the present and future with this experiment, but it's a 'money maker'.
Why is it that folks like me with limited knowledge of EV's accurately predicted these very pitfalls years ago?
Very accurate but not enough emphasis was put on lack of charging infrastructure in the sparsely populated areas of the west. I have been in towns that don't have a gas station much less a charging station. When I was in Alpine, TX, the nearest charging station was in Fort Stockton some 65 miles away. The ranch I was on only appeared to have 120 volt power. I will stick with my ICE vehicles.
Former loyal Lincoln and Ford buyer here… I am getting near replacing a 2015 Taurus Limited that replaced a 2004 Lincoln LSE. I don’t see anything in the Lincoln or Ford stable anymore that gives me the value these autos did. I’ve been considering a small or mid-sized pickup to be a cool grandpa in, but the value proposition of those vehicles has been destroyed by all the automakers.
So, I’m certainly not considering an electric at this time-state governments with their panic-driven tax policies and insurance companies with their out of control premiums are just making any decision a problem only solvable by AI (hopefully not prejudiced by said state governments and insurance companies).
Or, maybe I’ll look around for a good (ICE), used hearse and drive it until the day I need to ride in the back end!
Tesla's are cool toys for people who can afford cool expensive toys, but as your only vehicle, it's a bucket of stress. That's why Japanese cars are the best, you put gas in them, change the oil every 5,000 miles and drive, no worries!
Horse better
Truthfully, mes amis, ALL EV'S, vehicles of a Fool's Paradise, are but a fanciful dream...a Wet Dream.
Scrap mandates and subsidies and let the market decide.
How come only people who already have money, can afford a car that is cheap to run??
Where is an $8000 EV, for the vast majority of drivers??
With no data you only have an opinion. I have the data (spread sheet) from driving an BEV for nine years that shows my EV is 1/4 the cost of my ICEV. You can find many such SSs on the internet showing BEVs at < 30¢/mi. You won’t find any for an ICEV at that cost. Some costs are more expensive, some the same, and others drastically less.
EV price range is between $29.000 and $37.000 . America buys price .
If the public had been aware of all this 2 years ago the whole industry would be on the verge of bankruptcy by now.
What chase car doesn't reveal is whose barrow they are pushing? ICE or oil?
If you live in a cold state as I do and don't have a garage, an electric car makes no sense at all. In rural MN, there are very few charging stations. I have a friend who is buying a house 200 miles from me. My current care can go over 400 miles on a tank of gas. If I had an electric I couldn't risk a 400 mile trip.
If they ran on reliable gas, I'm sure sales would pick up. With an under 5 minute fueling time and the ability to put one gallon in the gas tank to get you to a filling station when you run out of fuel is also a plus. You also don't need all the electronic crap so it will be reliable and cost effective.
If everyone bought a hybrid going forward this would help in fuel savings, the infrastructure in changing is not anywhere close to future needs.
The greens have got their EVs
It is good , because it identifies them as stupid people without having to deal with them…
Just avoid at all costs
EV’s that are not, in truth, actually green! Truth and facts , inconvenient? ( and offensive)
Yeah I still want to buy a new Ford lightning lariat trim in that less than $60,000 range. I'll wait
Depending on the location of the electric equipment inside the EVs, a higher exposure to EMF may affect passengers, or in some cases drivers.
Think of damage we are doing to the environment; thousands of unwanted automobiles sitting around for nothing. Loads of carbon produced during their manufacture. ( But they are so GREEN ). 🤨😒😬
Don't forget all the pollution created during the mining of the raw materials for the batteries.
Buyer’s remorse is essentially the refusal to make a bad investment with accelerated depreciation with new cheaper models introduced in the meantime and a growing surplus stock of pre-owned BEV reducing the market value to the entire BEV fleet. I would not count either on major BEV technology breakthroughs with significant market impact since everything easy to discover on a kitchen table is being used…and we would need a big electro-chemical surprise such as high temperature superconductors , blue led’s to induce a market shift. Today and without MORE battery power density while holding all other features , durability, efficiency, max fast charge current, etc..the vehicle autonomy will NOT improve. If you add battery weight for more autonomy the car holding this extra weight and volume is bigger and heavier and now requires more energy for the same distance as before and the extra gain is minimal without technical improvmemt.
The only good thing about EVs: no catalytic converter. No worries about shady characters trying to steal your precious emission control device from your EV.
Many EV buyers wanted to be Mr. or Mrs. cool...first ones in the neighborhood to have one. It took a while to realize what a "pain in the ass" they can be.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is there is a large swath of the public which will never buy a new car.
In reality MORE than 60% of the US public cannot actually AFFORD to purchase a new car. Yes they could swing the payments, however if you have to make payments on a depreciating asset YOU REALLY CANNOT AFFORD IT!
A Hybrid yes, particulary a Toyota, but I would't even accept a plug-in EV as a gift. Toyota said they have not plans to get involved with EV. From: California
Think some people bought Eva as ice vehicles were hard to get for a few years, and those available were marked up. So an ev might have seemed like a better deal. At least as a second car. But inventory is back, and normal vehicles are slowly getting affordable again.
May be it's different in America , but in the U.K. a Porche Taycan lost 2/3 of it's value in 21/2 years !!
I have a vw Passat TDI. I get over 1000kms on a tank. No range anxiety….
High insurance cost, I have feeling that it'll go up even more in the near future.
Straight EV's won't be practical until swappable batteries as with Nio and others are taken up. "Battery swapping, which sees dead EV batteries replaced with fully charged ones in a process that can take less than five minutes, might provide a solution - and it's an approach being used by one of Tesla's biggest Chinese rivals." You can blame musk for much of this disaster.
Taking me 3 minutes to fuel (once a month), for a range of 570 miles, paid off at 41K and is more than a pleasure to drive. A large full size luxury automobile which tesla dosent even make. Now why would i pay more for an EV that would provide me with less? Sometimes it's better to just simply leave well enough alone....
Laughing in Toyota.
I’ll buy one for pennys ion the dollar and rip the battery pack out and put a gym 3800 fwd
I rented one for a two hundred fifty-mile trip. it would have quicker/cheaper if I had ridden a damn bicycle.
Exactly the same in Australia
Difference is people(f'wits)with more cents than sense versus people with more sense than cents.
The tweekers are stealing the charger cords for the copper. All of the sites are online, easy peasy.
If fuel prices are manipulated to go to $3/Litre will that spur on EV sales.
If I was forcing market issues, and, EV public charging was expensive, I would force fuel prices to be twice as dear as public charging.
The doughnut man would groove on an ev doughnut 🍩 van.. 🚚
People already know the truth that evs are the best. Please dint mislead them
What are the sales numbers of all cars? I could be wrong but I believe all car sales are crashing. Dealerships are going bankrupt
All I ever want is a 17 year-old Volvo D5.
Cheap. Powerful. Always ready to go.
I’ve had it for 8 years now.
they must bring battery cost down
