😊 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.

🏆Are EVs A SCAM? 🤔
🔴The EV Market Is WAY WORSE Than We Thought WATCH HERE 👉 ruclips.net/video/Q9t4fcRbevM/видео.html
Two and a half million Cybertrucks on order. I'm about 450,000th in line. People are auctioning them off for more than double what they paid, even though there's a clause in their contract with Tesla that they will incur a $50,000 penalty. Only the Legacy companies are suffering, because they don't know how to build an electric vehicle and make a profit. Many of them will go bankrupt.
Yes.
@@feger481 Bullshit. Tesla's aren't selling either. The only way they make a profit is from selling scam carbon credits. When those are gone, they will go bankrupt. Tesla is a scam company riddled with scandal.
@@feger481 Democrat.
Buying an EV is like purchasing 5,000 iPhone batteries or 1,000 laptop batteries. Very environmentally friendly, right?
Now, let's consider a scenario where 1 million people buy laptops and iPhones. Essentially, you would only need 1 million laptop batteries and 1 million iPhone batteries. Then, within 5 or at most 10 years, you would replace those batteries.
Now, let's multiply that by EVs.
If 1 million people switch to EVs, it's like needing "FIVE BILLION" iPhone batteries or "ONE BILLION" laptop batteries.
Very environmentally friendly, right?
Batteries were the problem 100 years ago, and still are. Never let politicians make engineering decisions.
Musk ain’t a politician he’s an engineer!
Yup glad to see someone knows their history
@@user-rq1mk9hi4xmusk didn’t engineer nothing he just funded two guys
There’s a simple solution to the range anxiety, and that is what’s happening in China already, which is swapping out the flat battery when you pull into a service station. They retrieve the main flat battery and replace it with a fully charged one, and you drive off quicker than it took to fill up the petrol.
It’s just like the 'Swap a Bottle' of gas. So you own the value of a new battery but you never have to pay for a new one, Just pay for the charge costs and swap over.
There is a man who runs a few garages in the US who is already swapping batteries out for Uber drivers in his own garages and he can do it in less than 15 minutes.
Car manufacturers still need to make the access to the main batteries easy and fast to swap though.
@@brobinson8614 😂😂😂 it will never be main stream they tried that already in the 1900s no way you can swap a battery on a EV in 2 minutes even if it’s designed to be swapped 😂😂😂 either way you loose an hour and most people just don’t have time for that gassers will be an option as long as petroleum is an option. Also you have hybrids out now that can get 614 miles a tank why would I complicate my life when I can just go that route. Imagine being on a road trip and having to wait in line to get your battery swapped 💀
if you have to force or bribe people to buy something its trash..
I concur. Government subsidies almost never save a poorly designed products or product with no public demand.
@@ThomasLee123 Govt needs to stay out of business altogether beyond prosecuting corporate criminals. But of course, the corporate criminals run the show. Just wait til the banking sector finally collapses under its own corruption.

You get a tax break on mortgage insurance? Does that mean home ownership is for the birds? Yachts, airplanes, all sorts of behavior/purchases are incentivized by tax breaks. That's the American way.
@@davidmartin7685 When I buy a home for CASH, how do I avail of this mortgage insurance tax break? The So Called Tax Credit for BEV is point of sale and assigned to the dealer, So, even people who aren't Net Taxpayers get the free gift at point of sale.
A five year old EV will have as much resale value and appeal as a five year old laptop.
You optimist !!!!
People don't want them because they cost more, depreciate horrendously and are inconvenient. On top of that they're not environmentally friendly.
But petrol and diesel vehicles are environmentally friendly?. Explain that please? Some EV,s are cheaper or same price to a comparable ICE car. Yes some are expensive but so are ICE cars just depends what you want. There are a lot of choices out there. Depreciation is bad on all cars as soon as you drive them off the car yards. If you have solar or not charging at home while you sleep is cheaper and car is ready for next day. No having to go to petrol stations and paying stupid prices for fuel and polluting the air each day.
He didn't say that petrol or diesel cars are environmentally friendly...just the fact that EVs are not. Stop seeing what you want to see.
@@alastairhatt360 No EV is cheaper in my country, You are going up into luxury ICE cars to compare.
You are adding cost of $20,000 for solar and battery at home, My 10KW SENEC battery alone was 10k it doesn't even cover a 3 person house let alone adding an EV, EVs are crap!
I also would not want a huge 60kw Lithium battery parked in my driveway next to house.
The EV pollution exists in lithium mines where everything is diesel powered. From digging it out of the ground, to transporting it to where it can be made into batteries. If you realize there is a world outside your backyard, then you would quickly see what pollution looks like. If these mines were right next to where you live, you would likely be horrified. But out of sight,out of mind.
@@alastairhatt360 Petrol is more environmentally friendly than a BEV that requires as much oil before it's even gone a mile as it does to manufacture and fuel an ICE vehicle for 70,000 miles....According to VOLVO, which claims to be going all electric by 2030 so they aren't anti-BEV.
MAIN REASON:
Most people can think critically!
Women do not want to be stuck in some strange place for an extended period of time to recharge.
I'm not going to speak for women. But here's how it really works. At night when I go to bed, I put my smartwatch and iPhone on a charging stand. It works the same way with my Tesla. About once a week, I plug it in at night when electricity rates are low.
The next morning, my AppleWatch is good for the day, so is my iPhone, and my Tesla is good for another week of driving.
You seem to think supercharging takes hours or something. It's usually 20-20 minutes and getting faster with each new generation of supercharger. Really, this is so overplayed. 95% of my charging is done at home and I don' have to sit in the driveway while it's happening.
@@davidmartin7685 I'm repeating what I heard from women, you should try speaking to one sometime. It seems to me you never take road trips, 500+ miles one way.That's usually done in 8 hours or less. I'm sure some day the technolgy will improve to be as quick and convient as what we are used to today, but it's not here yet.
@@davidmartin7685 tHAT'S exatly the only way they already make sense. But only that way :(
Hi, I am waiting 4 hours to charge, but I have to pee...Oh look, the charge station is in the ghetto...
You are obviously lucky enough to have a home that can support at home charging... how many people do you think do not have this privilege?
Spontaneous combustion could destroy your EV, your home and your loved ones.
... and the environment.
EVs are NOT planet friendly. 🌎
So true. Imagine an EV charging, catching fire, while your children are sleeping in the bedroom above the garage. 😡😡
So can an ICEmobile fire. They're just not news, so they're not reported.
@@ThomasLee123 Imagine having a brain !
Yeah just like it happens when your Fossil Fuel Car goes up , as they do in bigger numbers …. Check the Numbers …
Good... no more massive strip mining operations and huge lithium leaching fields just to build a few worthless batteries.
Lithium is in abundance in the lithium dry lakes of Chile, they use sunlight to evaporate it. its actually quite a safe environmentally friendly practice. Plus can be fully recycled.
Its the other minerals that are the issue. like nickel. But good to see cobalt not being used anymore by Tesla. The problem is all new vehicles have a lot of components that are mined. Many elements are used in combustion engines are still mined too.
Remember that when you go to get a cellphone...that has a lithium-ion battery.
How dare you use the term “worthless”,when you could have said expensive,polluting,costly,and an environmental nightmare.
I sleep so much better knowing I don't have a 2500lb lithium bomb in my garage.
You are wise.
You have a 10-20 gallon tank of liquid explosive in your garage, which carries the equivalent energy of three to six large lithium batteries (100kw each).
@@mapruitt You can toss a cigarette in a gas tank and it won't explode. Gasoline requires air to burn. That lithium battery provides it's own oxygen so it CANT BE EXTINGUISHED!
@@robertkubrick3738 Diesel also usually requires a lot of compression before it'll ignite. Diesel is less flammable than gasoline. Diesel cannot be ignited in a vehicle without extreme pressure or a long-lasting flame.
@@robertkubrick3738 Having been a volunteer firefighter I can tell you a lithium battery fire CAN be extinguished. When hybrids first came out (they use a small lithium battery) we went through special training about how to deal with them.
And you can toss a cigarette onto a lithium battery and it won't explode either.
When a lithium battery burns it is extremely hot, and it IS hard (not impossible) to extinguish. Gasoline does require air to burn, but it is much more explosive than a lithium battery.
He missed one significant point. The EV battery is an array of thousands of lithium battery cells, mounted in the floor of the vehicle where it is susceptible to damage due to impact with objects in the roadway or by other means. The thermal runaway of any one of the thousands of battery cells will propagate to all surrounding cells and result in an incredibly hot fire that it is almost impossible to extinguish. This kind of event has caused enormous losses on ships transporting EVs to market. This is a very large risk and is a hazard in tunnels, parking garages or other structures. The EV is a very hazardous vehicle because of the fire risk and may soon be excluded from many tunnels or parking spaces. The EV charged at home would best be charged outside at some distance from the house so an EV fire does not burn down a house with people trapped inside. In fact, an EV in a collision is at risk of fire and may be difficult to escape from because of features like electrically operated doors. These safety concerns are seldom mentioned by EV advocates but are well known.
The toxic gasses are at least as deadly as the fire! A man just got a little ash on him after the fire was out and it gave him heavy metal poisoning and he died in hospital after 4 days because they could do nothing for him. Aussie firefighter just exposed to the smoke are disabled for life, never to work again.
This is only going to get worse with cheaper and poorly made EV cars flooding the UK and European markets.
Another excellent point that the MSM is ignoring. EV fires also lead to ground water and soil contamination. This will last for decades potentially making water unfit to drink and land unable to be used for agriculture for decades. And they still claim EV are GREEN and will save the planet!
Quite right - an electric TOY car is much more easily damaged than an ICE car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For instance if an electric Toy car on a highway runs over road debris the battery may suffer the sort of catastrophic damage you describe - with a deadly fire eventually breaking out as lithium cells are corrupted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By comparison - if an ICE car runs over that same road debris - it may end up with a hole in its oil pan - which will trigger warning lights on the dash board - followed by a tow truck trip to a repair shop to plug the hole and replace the lost oil..........................
thus the damage to the ICE car from hitting road debris will probably be MUCH LESS SERIOUS than with an electric TOY car hitting the same debris and the cost of repairing a hole in an oil [an will be a small FRACTION of the cost of a new battery for the electric TOY car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
reason 1 - I don't want to be sitting on a lithium battery firebomb....no other reason required.....
but you would sit on 50liter gas tank ?
50 liter gas tanks don’t spontaneously combust from thermal runaway and don’t burn at 4000 degrees F.
They will pass “laws” placing draconian “toxic battery handling” fees on owners in 3..2..
The EV folly is coming undone, people have seen the problems and the costs. They are failing as they did in the early 1900's, range, battery and liquid fuel convenience killed them off then just like as it is happening now.
BUT BUT BUT it was evil big business, big oil, corpos, capitalist and conspiracies and (Blah blah) that killed 1900's electric vehicles!
You can say that. I say buying 2 Tesla Model Xes are two of the smartest decisions I've ever made. I'm forever having to take and pick up my wife at the Honda dealership. She doesn't return the favor because it's not necessary. My Tesla(s) have spent the night/day at a service center exactly twice in 7 years.
@davidmartin7685 - Check your privilege, sir !
@@davidmartin7685 You're right it is smart if you don't mind stopping, plugging in and staying awhile, if you dont mind a short and shitty range, unreliability in deep freeze temperatures, and if you don't mind a tiny little car. My car is a large full size luxury automobile which tesla dosent even make. I fuel up once a month and takes me 3 to 5 minutes depending on wether or not i run in and grab a coffee. Range 570 miles which supersedes any EV in America, paid off at 41K, i think I'll keep my jaguar XJl and leave well enough alone,,

What is never mentioned in a dialogue like this is that most people don’t like to be told they don’t have a choice. You WILL buy an EV and you will like it. The elites in charge couldn’t care less about the environment or the people. All they care about is power and control and getting more and more amore of it.
"If you have to be persuaded, pressured, reminded, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, bribed, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized..... if all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest." Ian Watson
And that also goes for the clot shot jab as well.
Nobody is telling you you have to buy an EV. You could always become an avid bicyclist. Toyota wants to sell you a hydrogen fuel car. Some European countries and China are setting sunset dates for ICE cars because of the pollution they cause. (Actually, it's worse with semis).
If you look at the last century, how much international conflict revolved around oil? A lot.
Putin tried to hold NATO hostage by cutting its oil supply. The Europeans decided to go nuclear and solar/wind. That blackmail threat won't work any more, will it?
You are right we have stupid elite people who want be Socialist Demorat dictators running what's left of our Republic. Trump 2024 to bring back sanity to America.
Imagine sitting in a high crime area, for an extended period of time, at night. What could go wrong?
What do you think? It take hours to charge or something? Yeah, at home, but you're home. The latest version chargers now take 20-30 minutes.
When I go on a trip, Tesla superchargers are usually located in or next to a mall where there are restaurants, Starbucks and such right there. One I use on occasion on I-24 is located behind a Dunkin' Donuts.. I have yet to order, get a bagel and finish it before the Tesla is telling me it's done, "Come and get me."
@@davidmartin7685 when the energy secretary did a trip, in a EV, it took her 4 days to do trip that would take less than a day in a ICE vehicle.
@@davidmartin7685 Every time you fast charge your battery it degrades your battery further, and there is no way to tell how someone treated that floor full of chemicals you are sitting in an EV making what usually makes up half a EVs value a carp shoot at best lowering it's resale even more.
A matter a fact cold, heat, going up hills, accelerating fast or fast discharging, towing and many other factors degrade a battery exponentially faster each and every time you do so.

Kills me how these proponents of EVs just keep plugging away without any reference to the reality of EVs. 🇨🇦
Problems that make people avoid purchasing EVs:
* Range is limited by shortage of charging stations.
* Compared to ICE engines, EVs take forever to charge.
* EV batteries have a tendency to catch fire or even explode.
* Chargers are very slow compared to gas refills.
* Any EV fire is very hot (plasma fire) and usually results in the vehicle being totaled by an insurance company.
* EV collisions are very expensive to repair.
* Expensive.
* EVs have no resale value as opposed to ICE vehicles.
* etc.
One interesting point that's rarely mentioned... those massive EV fires and how they destroy the road surface underneath them. An ICE fire does nowhere near the amount of damage to the pavement.
And the range k1llers, cold, heat, hills, speed, passenger and cargo weight, towing
You forgot to mention problem 9 that I was recently made aware of, namely that many EV's will only allow you to fast charge so many times in a row (6 was the number I heard for one brand) before literally forcing you to slow charge to minimise battery degradation.
@@scottguffie7759 I think that was BMW.
EV batteries, on a per capita basis, are less likely to catch fire than an ICE vehicle. But when they burn, they do burn HOT!
The only supercharger I’m interested in is attached to a proper petrol engine. Mercedes called it a Kompressor. However, the Americans are also masters of building big, proper engines with a massive blower attached to them! That is engineering and manufacturing heritage with hope and enjoyment for the people who just want to get the most out of internal combustion!
Yes!!🎉
I like my old Whipple chargers on V8's, The whine never gets old!
Bottom line:
They’re vastly inferior to IC vehicles in virtually every aspect and people WILL NOT throw away their money.
How are they VASTLY inferior to ICE vehicles? They cost less to run they are faster, don’t pollute each time you drive them. Can charge from home and chargers everywhere if you need a top up and have a break from driving if going long distances. You need to back up with some facts before just saying they are inferior with nothing to back that up.
At least in the case of Tesla, they AREN'T inferior. Can't say about any other manufacturer's vehicles. But they are certainly different, and NO ONE should be forced into them. Was anyone forced to switch from a horse to an early automobile?
Stop with the BS, Nearest charger is 3 suburbs away from me and Ilive in inner city suburbs in my country!
@@alastairhatt360 Faster? Lets race 1,000 miles and see who is faster? I would wager $100k, put up or shut up!
@@mapruitt Lets race 1,000 miles and see which is inferior? Lets tow anything and see which is inferior?
I like the concept oh an EV, as my second vehicle for running around town. But I also know it would be a throw away car when the battery dies.
Let EVs compete on the free market, without government mandate or subsidies, we will have better, cleaner cheaper EVs, ICE and hybrids
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
I like EVs and may buy a used, highly depreciated Tesla before year's end. I agree though, let the free market decide, NOT The Green Lie, and NOT the government. There's a place for EVs in our transportation system, it may be only 20-30% of market share.
@@snowrocket With even a semi-free market we would have better, cheaper, cleaner EVs, Hybrid and ICE
No resale value as a replacement battery cost as much as new, they are disposable!
An ICE engine lasts 140k or so miles on average. A Tesla battery pack is warrantied for 8 years, forget the exact mileage. BTW, in case you haven't kept up, the cost of batteries plummeted 50% last year and continue to fall.
EV's don't work here in the uk a very small country so lord knows how they could ever work in the usa.
They don't work for millions of us here in the US. Example: I live in one of the richest (per capita) suburbs of the Fron Range. EVs are at most 4 or 5% of the vehicles on the road. Why? Main reason is that the effective use profile is very limited. Especially given the significant driving distances around here. $50k+ for a city-only errand/commuter 2nd car just isn't practical for most peeps
They don't.
Liar
In 2024 22% of all new cars sold in the UK must be zero emission. Zero emission means hybrids don´t count. 2025 28%, by 2028 52% and by 2030 80%. in 2035 100%. Penalty for not reaching target is £15,000 per car. It looks like Toyota will soon be pulling out of the UK.
Or Australia
Not to mention they can catch fire more often than gas so go ahead but one and park it in your garage and charge it up
Actually the worse for catching fire are hybrids and ICE have a higher ate of catching fire than BEV.
That's not been proven. ICE vehicles catch on fire at least as much, they just don't make headlines when they do.
I would NEVER buy an EV.
unless its 1000 mile range and charging is 15minutes or less....or a nukey battery....with no charging but replacement of nuke batteries.
I would have one for running around the city but not for long distance driving unless the range is much longer, and not for winter driving outside of the city. Hybrids will only make sense when they can be all electric for at least 200+ km’s at all speeds. Currently the ones I’ve seen, and one I rented for 2 weeks on vacation in Europe, are only on electric up to about 50 km/h (30 mph) and have almost no range, the one I rented had maybe 30 km of range, or less. At the end of our trip the fuel mileage was no better than my wife’s Honda CRV.
I would.

OUTSTANDING Video!
I was expecting a very common sort of hit piece on electric cars when I started watching the video. So many of these types of videos have an obvious bias against electric cars, or the content shows a total ignorance of the truth.
In this video no bias is apparent, and the content exhibits a solid understanding of the issues regarding electric cars and why purchasing an electric vehicle is a non-starter for so many folks.
I'm a long-time Tesla Model S driver (just over eight years now), and it is my primary vehicle. Maybe my experience is unusual, but...
* My insurance cost, from the very beginning, is comparable to how much I pay for ICEmobile insurance, taking into account that the Model S price was nearly three times what I paid for any gasoline-powered vehicle.
* My Tesla has been very reliable. In 105,000+ miles of driving, I've had only minor issues that needed to be fixed, and I have never been stranded away from home because of a software or mechanical issue. Total outlay for repairs over eight years is less than $1,000 (really!)
* My first set of tires lasted 72,000 miles. However, I know of some folks who got 12,000 miles on so on their first set (couldn't keep off the accelerator at traffic lights, and that really eats up the tires!).
I have taken my S across country several times, and up and down the east coast from South Carolina to New Jersey probably a dozen times. It does take 20-25% longer than in an ICEmobile because of charging. But for us early Tesla adopters, that's offset by the having free Supercharging for life. It costs me NOTHING to go on a long trip!
Now, living in central Wyoming (moved here several years ago), there are places I cannot go because of the lack of level 3 chargers within my range, so I have to take my Jeep Gladiator or Nissan Rogue Sport to get to those places. Lack of charging infrastructure is certainly a big issue.
Thanks for presenting the electric car issues in an objective manner. This video is almost unique in that regard.
So do dealers charge them because I think they lose range just sitting there right?
Yes, they do have to charge them. They can put the battery to sleep so it uses less power but if it's cold or they sit there for 100 days, they will lose a percentage of power. Also batteries degrade from the moment they are charged because they are a chemical reaction which never completely stops.
@@robertkubrick3738 oh my
I once had a cell phone that started to bulge out. The battery was going to explode. I had to buy a new cell phone because the bulging battery mangled the circuit board. I'd imagine an EV's battery could have similar problems.
Different battery type actually
I never understood why we just didn’t aim for hybrids until the infrastructure was available. I guess that made too much sense.
Just take a look at the mobile phones you've owned since Apple decided to make battery replacement difficult & costly so that it's better to just replace your phone.
Will be the same for EVs.
Tesla give you an 8 year warranty on your battery
@@robertwoodhouse-bm7kt Have you read the fine print of the Tesla 8 yr battery warranty?
People also act like electricity is free. If you charge it every night at your house it will run up your electric bill.
Cost me $10 a day in gas to go to work and back 20mpg Jeep. An electric car would cost me about $2.50 a day. Yes cheaper, but not free and if everyone started driving electric cars what do you think would happen to the price of electricity?
And the government would eventually have to collect its road taxes somewhere other than gas taxes
@@mark-os6fj Jeep still drives when the power goes out.

@@robertwoodhouse-bm7kt you could manually pump gas out of tanks if you had to.
You'll get real far asking your boss for extra paid time off to drive a ev on a long vacation, because of the extra charge time.
Good lord. You guys seem to think you have to stop 10 times a day to charge. That's just not true. Yeah, maybe, with those windup toys Nissan and Chevy sold for a while. An EV charge on my Tesla lasts 4-5 hours at highway speeds, and I have a lead foot. How long does your bladder last when you're traveling, or you get hungry? I wager not that long.
What you do is stop at a charger, plug it in, and walk up front or next door to a restaurant to use the bathroom and get a quick meal. You car will be ready to go before you're done. I know because I do it all the time.
@@davidmartin7685 well sir, my last road trip was 19 hours drive time, with a ICE. when we stopped for gas it 20 minutes max, gassing the car and emptying the bladders of 4 people. We stopped to eat twice, which lasted an average of 35 minutes. We went through the foothills of mountainous terrain. The car I drove got 45 mpg. It took a little over 3 fill ups. What will your wonderful tesla, ( which not everyone can afford), do in those circumstances? How much time would it take for you to accomplish it? Have a stupendous day.
Boss: Why are you late for work.
You: Sorry, someone stole my power cord and I had no juice in my car; I don't know. I had my car plugged in all night. But it was deader than a doornail, this morning. ( A neighbor unplugged that car and plugged in his own... with the way guy's electricity.)
EVs are a niche market and rich greenies have pretty much bought their quota and the rest of us do not want them and cannot afford them......unless you can charge at home and only need to commute a short distance there are too many negatives associated with them !
EVs have now reached 90% of new car sales in countries like Norway. It's 50% in China, the largest car market in the world. The US at ~10% is a laggard.
@@davidmartin7685 Yes, and China gets all of their electricity from COAL, some of it is from our U.S. exported COAL. Their air is literally unbreathable and 90% of their water is polluted beyond being able to be consumed by anything alive. They put out more pollution each year than all the world combined. Your point again was?!
One little known fact about the Ford F150 Lightning, it's battery needs an 80 Amp charger, very few homes have that capacity and still have enough left for all household demands, so you need to spend BIG MONEY if you want a home charger.
You can charge it with normal plug but at much lower speed.
Get government out of this. Let the free market figure it out.
Politicians should get it through their thick heads, most of us don't want an EV.
not possible to charge a 50 mile ( » 75 Kwh ) in 20 minutes; possible only inside an industrail , controlled, complex with huge cables, and risking the run-away and the explosion
Wow. You mean I'm breaking the laws of physics? I do it all the time in 20-30 minutes -- when I travel that is.
Nice video. Informative and nicely put together. The presenter knows his facts and how to present them. Thanks.
Three hundred miles on a single charge? My current and previous cars got about 18MPG in the city and 25MPG on the highway. So, say 20MPG with a 20-gallon tank and you are talking about 400 miles. All highway and that goes up to 500 miles. If you drive intermittently, then there is the problem with the battery losing charge over time. This is not an issue with gasoline.
With the charging infrastructure issues, as opposed to ubiquitous, and much more convenient gasoline refueling, and I don't see it happening. On top of that, the improvements required of the electricity grid to support wide adoption of EVs is massive.
I have also seen reports that the cost per mile for electricity for EVs is, in some places like the UK, as much as that for gasoline for ICE cars. Unless you have solar cells on your roof, and a lot of them, these costs cannot be avoided.
EV’s are great for upper middle class commuters but not much else.
The investment in service tools for the dealership creates a non-viable business
Why would anyone by an EV .. it takes about 20 minutes to charge an if you don't have a charger at home. You are screwed...
EV’s… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😢😂😂😂

Regarding EV purchases along with most other "new" high tech products - the pioneers are the ones with arrows in their backs.
Lets hook up a few thousand flashlight batteries and power cars with them. What could possibly go wrong?🙄
Not much.😆
I was fired up to buy EV. Ioniq 5 in particular, but more i learn about them more i lean towards charging hybrid.
You forgot to mention that these vehicles are not "green" they need significant continuous energy to recharge, Energy that can only be available using coal or nuclear. Solar and wind doesn't cut it. Add to that the non linearity of the energy source and you wonder why on earth anyone would buy one.
Imagine with an ice vehicle, every 5th time you try to get gas, you can't get gas.
EVs can serve a purpose as a 2nd vehicle for in town trips. Maybe no more than 5-10% of the market is a better goal.
Nope. I've taken mine from Atlanta to DC, Vermont, all over Florida, etc. They're fine for trips. No problem.
What kind of car we drive is none of any governments business. Nothing else matters.
No chargers anywhere that it is not HOT!
Even a lower price EV is a reality, like an inkjet printer, the insurance EV premium skyrocket due to shortage of parts and EV skill labor, new model parts are so scared that could wait for months. A good fit for high income earner though.
In California the dealer still have the dealer mark up ,from 10k to 55 k that’s why they don’t sell in California
Why would I want a car that costs more and has half the range of a regular car.
As for home charging, Most EV owners do have that Luxury and it’s always cheaper than buying from a vendor. Also if one has Solar installed and either works from home or can leave their EV charging during the optimal periods during the day they can actually make money from the Solar energy production while minimising or eliminating the cost to power their car … plus there is also the option to run the house from the car during a blackout … if you live in a Condo you can negotiate for charging to be installed especially if several residents are keen … BOLLOX to your negativity … imagine sharing your car power during a blackout for profit ….
Was all that meant to be a rich person flex, oh wealthy one?
Clever FUD.
I own a Tesla MX.
1. Charging at home is unavailable to most. Baloney. I live in a condo with a Nazi condo board. Yet, they let me put in a charger. The only time I need a charger is on trips. I use the Tesla network, it's large and growing every day. Most superchargers are located near restaurants. You eat, use the restroom while the car charges. My X is usually done before I'm halfway through lunch. A little planning is all it takes.
2. Tesla's new self driving is as good as a normal human and continues to improve monthly.
3. I have experienced one serious maintenance problem. The main computer failed and had to be replaced. Tesla did it for free. That's it since 2017.
4. Range anxiety? All you need is an electric plug. Yeah 110v is awful slow. 220? 40-50 miles per hour. You can plug into a dryer outlet for a bit and get to a supercharger easy. I've only come close to running out of juice once in 7 years. And my X does go further than 300 miles.
5. Repairs are expensive, but I haven't had to pay for any so far.
6. Here is the problem: The EVs legacy auto like GM, Ford, Toyota, BMW make are nowhere near as good as Teslas because this always happens in a disruption. Legacy auto's tech is nowhere near as good. Kodak was terrific at making film cameras. The iPhone killed it. How many of the traditional camera companies survived? Only a handful. The dominant players in photography today are smartphone makers like Google and Android.
7 . Brakes wear out? I barely use mine. Occasionally I have to tap the pedal a bit coming up to a red-light or slow down on a curve, that's it. The truth is my brake pads will last 100k miles. Yeah, tire wear might be more.
8. Slowing adoption? J.D. Power now forecasts U.S. electric vehicle market share will hit 12.4% in 2024, up from 7.6% in 2023. Tesla will introduce a new sub $30k model this summer. And interest rates are higher not matter whether you buy an ICE or EV.
Ok most people, don’t live in condos, oh rich one. I don’t have to plan beans or ask permission to fill up my truck. My Tacoma also goes further than 300 miles, that’s not a flex.
Imagine a product that is heavily subsidize by the state wasn't actually worth a damn to begin with?
You obviously haven't owned one. People beg me to drive them to ball games and such in my Tesla. True. The sound system alone is unbelievable. Can you watch Star Wars on a 17" screen in your car? I can. I have one of the slower Teslas (MX long range) but can blow the doors off most muscle cars from a standing start. Truth.
Oil Companies ?
@@davidmartin7685 Rather have a $10k Toyota Modular Truck. Until EVs can compete with that there is no competition. I mean everything you just described definitely lets me know you cared little about the environment when you bought it. EV's need to be minimalized otherwise they will never been environmentally friendly.
@@davidmartin7685why in God’s name would I want to watch StarWars on a tiny 17” screen in a car? ICE cars have screens in them too.
Maybe if we just put more LCD monitors in the dash. Mad Mike would be proud of the car industry today
Battery technology is not there yet. If they gave a 20 year warranty on them then maybe... but by the time the 8 year warranty expires the battery is surely degraded and either in its way out or just a fraction of its original range.
They don't go anywhere! EXPENSIVE INSURANCE!
Who wants to sit around an hour+ for a refill?
Some people like them, let em. But the rest...
It's about 20-30 minutes these days and falling as new faster superchargers are installed. Keep up.
I rented a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor for a road trip a few weeks ago. I put 817 miles on it in about 2 1/2 days. I charged 6 times, averaging 136 miles between Tesla SuperCharging stations. It took anywhere from 20 minutes to 50 minutes to get to the level of charge I wanted. Definitely not convenient, but not as bad as some would have you think. FUN car to drive though, with the best powertrain ever! "Fuel" source; well, it went as expected, but not near as good as gas.
No mention when (not if) they catch fire 🔥!!
Don't tell me what I have to drive. My body, my choice. No difference
BYD add played when I clicked. They’re still trying lol
I know a guy with a Tesla model s and I tell you now lie he’s spent close to 10k in tires and service in 4 years can’t imagine when his battery goes and on a full charge his 4 year old model s 100d gets about 200 miles range 😮
These reports were five years ago issues. Not current status of current EV status.
well i know as a retired trucker we had to have an corrosive warning placard on the trailer to haul batterys because they are a hazard to the envirment duhhhhhhhh
Reason number 1. The Tech sucks!!!
Its like this they aren't practical for some and the price tag is just not worth it and honestly not everyone has the charging system in place and no il not getting a new electric motorcycle either my gas bike is hust more useful
Aren't practical for MOST!
There's a big difference.
Today I went to the local Toyota and Honda dealerships.
Toyota was willing to show me and try to sell me a BZ4X or Prius Prime. They freely admitted neither was eligible for the $7,500 tax offset. However, the salesman was quick to point out that should change in three years when the new production facility in North Carolina should be up and running.
Honda, on the other hand wanted to push their hybrids and only reluctantly told me about the "upcoming" PHEV, the Prologue. That made things basically a non-starter as I have a PHEV with home charger,....so I have no interest in stepping down to a car that is just a hybrid.
Ford's EVs are way too overpriced and I do not have high hopes that the local Chevy dealership will have anything reasonably priced.
As an ex owner. Let's get the range of an EV out of the way. So when you said it gets 300 miles on a single charge. That is true to an extent. Yes a full charge isn 300 miles. But if you want to keep that 10 year warranty on those batteries they tell you not to charge more than 80% and let it discharge more than 20% me so that means on the daily without long distance driving your looking at a usable 180 miles. When you over charge to 100% every time you get battery degradation along with overheating and shortages. When you discharge past 20 percent your getting battery degradation. So safe usable mileage will be between those percentages. Even having the cars sit for months will give you problems lastly most EVs are never really off. So they are always draining the battery.
depends on the type of battery, LFP batteries can be charged to 100% and work fine in cold weather.
I would never buy an EV either. I hate the anticipated range anxiety.
And range declines every year. My 15-year-old car gets EXACTLY the same milage it did day one.
@@k.chriscaldwell4141 Indeed
I rented a 2018 Model 3 recently and went 817 miles in it. It was my first time renting or driving an EV anything more than a few miles. The range anxiety wasn't too bad. The navigation and "energy" screens tell you what your anticipated use will yield and where you should SuperCharge next. It worked out as I thought it would.
@@snowrocket No Superchargers even close to me. Enough said. My electricity prices at home have increased 30% in just the last three years. Why would I was an electric guzzler in my home? No thank you.
@@teams3345 I'm in Cleveland in a semi-urban area, six miles from a Tesla dealer. LOTS of people around here with money and many Teslas around. I'm sure most if not all of these people charge at home. There's a few SuperChargers around, but not as many as I'd expect at this point.
The truth is the technology is not up to expectations - less than promised economies - expensive purchase price - less than promised range - charging problems - extremely expensive battery replacement costs . Maybe in ten years time but today ... I'll pass.
It will be much faster than that 5yrs tops
The only EV I will EVER purchase is a drill.
How about an electric vacuum??? It sucks too!!!
@MrkBO8 I have one for the car. It does suck, but it doesn't do the job!
@@golfnut2965 Funny that something can not suck which makes it suck more?
The "V" in "EV" stands for "Vehicle". A drill is not a vehicle.
Odd to me how we all have lithium-ion batteries in our phones, and many (like me) have those batteries in their power tools. No one ever talks about being afraid of those battery fires.
How would they have performed in Donner Pass in this 2024 blizzard?
The Donner Party relived...
We are told that EV batteries can be 100% recycled. However, we are also told that EV battery manufacturers will not use recycled metals in their batteries. If they put an 8 to 10-year warranty on their batteries they only want to use new metals not secondhand used metals. Most recycled EV battery material is used in mobile phones, laptops, etc.
You would be better off buying an eletric golf cart. You can buy batteries at your local car parts store.
I would buy an EV if the price was cheap. These current prices are insane.
I'm thinking of buying a used Chevy Bolt or Tesla Model 3. Prices are dropping fast and they're becoming quite affordable as used cars.
I can make 150 miles on half a tank....
My Hilux diesel pickup can do more than twice that on half a tank.
When they came out I used critical thinking skills. Realized no infrastructure, no range, horrible price, battery replacement, higher power bill. If in an accident how many places know how to fix it. My brother bought one and had problems day one. Never buy brand new technology when first introduced.
Its fantastic to see EV sales collapsing around the world all that money invested yet its falling apart absolutely brilliant
Can’t afford new cars. Gas or electric.
I guess the data has started coming in on used EV's. And it is what I said it would be, no one wants one with very little battery warrantee.
This is about electric vehicles other than Tesla.
e.g. Tesla charging stations almost never have breakdowns and when they do it's only one out of many at a location. i.e. other charging stations have one or two charges whereas Tesla station typically have ten or twenty.
Also, a big reason why dealers for GM and Ford don't like selling EV's is because they can't make money on service after sales since EV's don't need oil changes and tune ups and have way fewer parts and just don't break down as often as EV's.
Also a major part of the reason legacy automakers are cutting production is that they can't make a profit on them and are actually losing many thousands of dollars on each vehicle.
Not to mention Teaslas are better EV's.
The problem is not that people don't want evs. They see the problems and the cost and are not willing to risk the lives of their children.
Revised sequence: develop necessary carbon-based energy supply then develop the car charging infrastructure to service the market, then sell the cars...
Those cars are going to be worthless in 5 years in my opinion. Nobody will buy them and the dealers will not want them back they will be junk.
Check Hertz sales, 6 year old Tesla Model 3 LR 46k miles $26,124, if it had FSD would cost about $3k more.
As to the charging, this is mostly only other companies tesla almost always charge straight away, as to reliability this and brakes wearing out again not tesla it's other manufacturers yes.
We CAN'T buy EVs here in Canada. The charging stations are over 250 miles away. They're being idiotic.
If tesla is having issues that tells me the EV market is in trouble?
Why would you take an EV 4x4 into the wilderness where there is absolutely no chance of finding a charging station ?
The other question is, why would you pay that much money for a car that can only be driven around town for fear of getting too far from your charger?
Ice,ice,Baby 😎!
Just like our electric drill guns, they start off fast and hard but never last for the jobs I do. I have over a dozen always charged to complete the job. The problem? Costs for extra batteries. Time to charge all of them. And I'm lucky if I get a year out of a battery. So, I went back to electric cord tools. Some times a job needs cordless so I have a few, not like I did.
Just like EV cars.
Had you tanks adopted diesel for economy and being green you would never have bought a ev or hybrid
The first reason given 'EVS do not sell because there is ample inventory now' is not rational. Nonsensical reason.
EVs are basically disposable tech devices, like phones.
I see a fair number of 2015-2016 (before the styling update) Tesla Model Ss in my area of Cleveland. I rarely see any Fiats and Dodge Darts though, both cheap cars that are crap.
Tesla model Y was the Best selling carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And for the first time since 2020 Tesla sales are in decline despite slashing prices.
