We need to establish a system to easily replace, retro fit, electric motors into older cars. Seems sensible to recycle as many older cars as possible, instead of manufacturing new cars. Toyota corolla and such should be first, with Holden Commodores and Falcons being next. I'd rather replace the engine in my 2000 model Toyota than the whole car. Doesn't have to be rocket ship Tesla fast
This. Built again and again to feed the relentless greed of those who benefit. Back in 1900 if you built something to last for a short time, you went out of business. Bad reputation. Now they're all at it, so there is no differentiation. The newer the car, the more planned obsolescence.
It might be so that it takes more energy and CO2 emissions to make the metals, plastics etc, then make them into components and assemble them, than the energy and CO2 emissions the car will have during its use. It makes sense to recycle what we have, use the infrastructure we have and build the infrastructure to make synthetic fuels for the quickest and easiest for the general person to lower Carbon emissions. The electric cars are a fire hazard and should not be parked under cover so are not yet the total solution.
They tried the same with 'Clunker Laws', and those got dumped the same way these will, when the voters swing to which ever party promisises to abololish the law, and the ones in power pushing for it realise they can't pass it because the average voter can not afford a new car, let alone a new EV car, meaning thier own actions will disenfranchise their voter base, and the PR of a new law being another "bash the poor" effort. Print and TV News heads will be reading this EU story and planning the next 2 years of stories from consumer affairs shows.
Yeh having to buy a new car every 5 years for environmental sustainable they say 😂 How about they design a car that's built to last 50 years.. that's sustainable
My 14 yr old xr6t was bad enough at 28k 😬 manual only 170k on it 358rwkw , yeah nah I can't afford a 50k plus car ,these your not getting anything decent new under that and I ain't driving a Mazda 3 or some puss bucket lol
im not speaking for every single car but majority of older cars in the late 90s early 00s are some of the most reliable card and still hold value better than cars from 2014 onwards , these rules and regulations are simply to force people to buy what the government want you to buy

The Real reports show electric cars are 1,850 x higher in emissions ie brake and tyre dust. Proven scientific reports show tyre poisoning of remote fish breeding areas. Replacement of Australia's cars would be $1.2 trillion ($60,000x21,000,000)
I have rebuilt a whole car because I found a lug nut from an old Landrover, reused old existing parts from previously temporarily deceased Landrovers saving having to mine new material to create new parts.
In the West? We don't do anything about corrupt politicians ever. Case in point: the absolute state of Western society where everything is just there to serve capital.
The ones that claim they are helping the environment are amongst the dumbest in the world, they have no idea they are still killing the planet but perhaps faster
Not all. One of my best mates is an integral member of the Sydney Electric Car Club, he's got an electric Lotus he built himself (he's an electrical engineer by trade). Before that he had an electric Toyota MR2, which he also built himself. He's an incredibly nice bloke and doesn't blow his own trumpet at all. And the cars he's built are BONKERS fast. When the engine got cooked in my Daihatsu Terios work runabout he offered to help me convert it. Sadly it didn't end up happening cos when we started stripping it we discovered the whole rear floor was rusted out, but it would have been a fun car I reckon. It would have made sense too cos that car only drives 6km per day. We calculated a full charge would have lasted about 6 months, lol. Tesla owners, however....... yeah. They can be a bit preachy.
Ev drivers are hipocits the ones l know fly around the world and travel on cruise ships that is the most damaging thing you can do to the planet @@woopimagpie
I'm sick of these BS attacks on ice car drivers! Car emissions are so much better than they use to be and only make up 10% of worldwide emissions! Property, business, shipping, flights, manufacturing, non of these have cut their emissions anything like cars have yet because these are generally not financed by banks like new car ownership is they don't bother trying to fix the real emissions issues! It's all about money, interest at the bank = good economy
Actually commercial aircraft have reduced emissions something like 70% when compared with aircraft of 30 years ago. The new engines RR, P&W, and GE are manufacturing today are incredibly efficient, so much so that it's now possible to fly from London to Sydney without a stop and still have some fuel left on arrival. Even 20 years ago that was just a pipe dream. Shipping is changing too - all the new big container ships being built now are going electric, with diesel generators to supply power. They only use half the fuel of a comparable heavy fuel engine, can travel faster, quieter, and with half the emissions. The "attacks" (to use your word) on ice cars is because there is so many of them. It's purely a numbers game. Make all of those cars just 10% more efficient and emissions drop by the same. It's the biggest gain for the smallest effort. There are 1.4 BILLION cars in the world (and that's not including trucks), aircraft still number less than half a million, and of those only about 40,000 are used for commercial aviation. It's not hard to see where the biggest gains can be made. That's why the cars are the biggest target. It's not some greenie agenda, it's just simple maths.
I agree, every big company with their skyscrapers full of lights and air-conditioning, giant logos that are illuminated, leave that crap on all night 'look at us, we're all that' - completely unnecessary and a waste of power, but where is the castigation for them?
@@KnightIndustries572The true number is closer to 12%, which is roughly half of all transport emissions, which comprise about 24%, that's NOT including emissions from all the processes involved to build the vehicles. With cars making up half of all transport emissions it's not hard to see the biggest gain can be made there, which is why they are targeted. It's just simple maths. Ourworldindata, Statista, Wikipedia, Climate Council, and the National Transport Commission all concur that the number is around 12%, so I'm not sure where you're getting your info from. If it's the right-wing media, you can't trust that.
If I lose my car then this old fucker is getting back into the car theft game. Only from the rich fucks that support this shit though. Does anyone remember just how easy it was to steal the 928 and 944 when they came out? These days you just need a directional antennae. Quote: I teal Tommodores - Tevin (one day someone will respond that understands this quote.)
they don't want pensioners to own cars let alone a old shitbox like mine the government wants us to walk or catch an electric bus that runs out of charge or catch fire and kill us . I say fk the government the UN ill drive my $500 vt even if it's banned.
You're on the right track. Their goal isn't for you to be driving (traveling), their goal isn't for you to have private car ownership, their goal isn't for something that works or is convenient. Their goal is complete control and restricting/limiting anyone that's left alive from their "carbon reduction" programmed currently under way, to not be driving/traveling at all and living in a 15 minute prison area called "smart city".
You will not own a car it is a renter you give it back after said date Chev did this years ago with there first dabble into electric cars people wanted to keep them but No they all got crushed
What the most revealing thing about a tree huggers ignorance is how they claim that their EV is part of the push for “Green Energy”, but they clearly failed 3rd Grade science, having trouble understanding that they are suffocating their precious trees by eliminating the CO2 they need to survive😂
I recently watched a youtube clip of a British fella that bought an EV brand new. Said the car was now 2 years old and was now worth less than the replacement battery system for the car and the car dealer wasn’t interested in trading it in. Now I’m not sure that’s currently the case for all EV’s but that was his experience. In other words they are like mobile phones, once battery in the car die’s, you throw them away.
@@champspec We produce more than enough CO2, seems they actually paid attention in class whilst you were too busy trying to drown yourself in your own drool.
It's not true. Look it up. These guys are lying to us. The recommendations are about designing new cars to be more recyclable and properly disposing of cars when they reach the end of their life. Don't fall for this clickbait.
@TheSilmarillian that's an interesting way to maintain wilful ignorance. You have the right to side with content creators who feed you disinformation and milk you for outrage.
LOL, this will significantly increase demand on new vehicles, which will burn through more energy and resources, through manufacturing processes and transportation. Buying older secondhand vehicles and keeping them on the road is actually more sustainable, and has less environmental impact.
a future away from greens liberals and labor sounds like a future Australian's should be invested in at this stage.. as a future for the Australian majority and the consumers to actually have anti-trust protections and consumer protection..
Right, right, cos the coalition looked after us so well that we handed them the largest loss ever in their history. I dunno what we need, but I know it ain't that conservative bullshit back in power again. Hell no.
Frankly, if you want to be pro-active about protecting the environment, the parties for the farmers, hunters and fishers have better policies, bacause they understand how dependant on the envirnoment thier lives and livelyhoods are. If or When they get organised with a couple of the social justice and civil rights parties (yup, even the ones looking after our gay and trans mates), they could form a new party that would sweep elections across the nation. They just need to make sure their talking head isn't a numptie like the fish shop owner from QLD.
I drive a 37 year old Mazda B2000 that runs just like the day it waa brand new. Same for my 26 year old Honda Goldwing motorcycle. I cannot afford car payments. It is cheaper to take good care of my vehicles and keep them in good repair.
It's not about people trading up to EV's it's about making personal transport impossible so they can keep you in their prescribed zones. They might take my freedom but they will never take my LPG BA Ute.
When I was in Ireland a couple of years ago one of the things I noticed was there are almost no older cars on the road. I asked my brother-in-law (who is in the car game over there) about it and he said it's mostly because they salt the roads and the cars just rust away in no time. Unless you're lucrative enough to have two cars, and don't drive one of them for most of the year, you won't see any older cars. All the little European hatchbacks are comparatively very cheap to buy new, and the 3 or 4 year old secondhand cars are so cheap that everyone just buys those and drives them until the rust gets them, then they just buy another one, and so on. In Australia we don't have snow and ice (and salt) on our roads all winter like they do in the northern hemisphere so our cars last way longer. I imagine in the northern European countries no one will care about this anyway because all the cars have rusted away long before they reach 15 years old. Not that I believe it, it's just scare-mongering from the right wing, as always.
Yeah the EU parliament is totally cool. Plenty of older tractors there right now. They really care about Freedom of choice. There are plenty of older cars in Ireland and the UK. They just come out in Summer like they do in Australia.
By the power of grey skull I'm keeping my AU falcon ute ( marlin edition) BA wagon ( supercharged barra) VT commodore sedan ( ex cope car) , VT wagon , GU patrol, GQ patrol 72 Torana, 1950 willys, 49 FX Holden, 86 sigma wagon and Suzuki mighty boy.
@@Streetw1s3rthe laws do not apply to those who decide what they will be. For example passenger flights of less than two hours are banned in France unless it is a private charter jet.
@@kdegraa best thing would be for airlines to come together and isolate themselves from France (go on strike if you will), Air France mustn't appreciate the new ban either
@@userI3I2 I wish it were. The EUs 'fit for 55' directive is very much a thing, and this shit-show thin edge legislation is equally very much bundled within it - though perhaps not so cut and dried. There are directives and annexes for potential exemptions for vehicles of significant historical worth - but that is clearly a loose definition.
Sigh. Ok, at 0.02% atmospheric carbon dioxide plants die of carbon starvation. At present, atmospheric carbon dioxide is at 0.04%. A century ago it was 0.03%, and that was just 0.01% away from planetary death. (Yes, that includes you. No Vegies) IF, we are responsible for the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, then our leer jets and V8 landcruisers have saved this planet from a disastrous extinction event. However, considering that humankind are only responsible for 3% of all carbon dioxide emissions, it can't be our fault. NASSA have recorded a greening of this planet over the last 50 years as a result of the increased atmospheric carbon. Deserts have shrunk. At the end of each 100,000 year ice age and warming cycle, the planet self regulates, and releases stored carbon. It's a beautiful planet. Why can't you just enjoy it? Please, try to think.
So scraping a car and all the processes involved then replacing it with a new vehicle with all the damage done to the environment during its manufacturing and transportation from the other side of the world is much better for the environment than just keeping the car you have? 😂😂😂😂
We have the same madness in Australia when the brave new green energy has doubled power bills .With an ice age looming is foolhardy to decrease emissions when we should be increasing them to prevent being buried under a mile of ice.
Some countries already have major hurdles for car ownership in place, regardless of EV or ICE, for example in Singapore you will pay $90k just to register a car, which lasts 10 years. Its called a certificate of entitlement, and so a $30k corolla will set you back $120k.....and Aussie dollar is on par with SG$
Turkey is not part of the EU but wishes it was. If that law comes into place, take all your old 15+ year old cars over to Turkey and sell them, you'll get WAYYYYY more for the price of the car, pretty much triple or quadruple the price you'll sell it for over in the EU. Plenty of Turks from Germany buy cheap German cars over there then take them to Turkey and sell for astronomical amounts. I recently bought a 2018 Camry here in Australia for $25,000 AUD, i was curious and checked the price of the same car over in Turkey and if i was to buy over there would cost me between $95,000 and $105,000 AUD... For a Camry...
@@tolgahk84 Thats a crazy amount for a Camry! I'm also Australian and sometimes I need to remind myself how lucky we have it. Fingers crossed Turkey joins and can have access to lower prices imports. That's just blown my mind 🤯
@@imidsikkey wanna know something even more wild? About 7 years ago when I was on holidays in Turkey I was looking at buying a cheap car to drive around in. I found a Renault 21 Concorde, at the time buying that car would have set me back $5000AUD, recently looking at prices the same 21 Concorde will cost me close to $30,000AUD. Cars in Turkey have always been ridiculously expensive, I've even heard of stories where people would do a straight swap between a car and a house/unit. The economy there has always sucked but in recent years it's only gotten worse
My defender is 24 years old and just passed 400 000 km ,it’s my personal mobile work shop . I wonder how trades are going to be able to service people that need work done with short range small load evs ? I wonder how these people think they’re going to get work done that they can’t do themselves ?
I have an imported 2012 mitsubishi mini cab EV, gets me to work, the beach and shops. I have a 2008 golf gti as a fun fast(enough) toy. I hate the EV crowd that buys brand new cars then look down on everyone else. The comment about the jet is spot on, why are normal people having to fork out to fix a problem caused by the rich
Japan has been taxing cars off the road for 40 years. Was always to drive new car sales in JDM. This is same thing hiding under EV paranoia. Put money on it being "driven" by BMW etc lobbyists.
They dont need to lobby against EVs they are trash cars Buy one new today knowing in 7 years time its worthless due to its replacement battery costing more than a new car or just not being made at all assuming it lasts that long Racetrack near my town wont allow EV cars on the track because they would be required to have the nessiary equipment to stop a EV car from burning and was given a appraisal of a EV car fire needing atleast 20000 liters of water to put one out due to the nature of the cars battery Only truck ive ever seen that can deliver that amount of water was in a mine and was well over 100 tonnes so if they burn on the street they are just gone Its not a practical car for anything exept limited short city travel
I bet if you searched you’re council you will find the 15 / 20 minute proposal hidden away , I know mine has and had an argument with my brother about it cos he thinks I wear a tin foil hat and his municipality had it also when we looked but he was like you said it won’t happen but what people don’t get is the do it as an opt out but it gets passed behind closed doors before you get a chance to stop it.
This is already happening covertly in Australia. And it’s cars older than 10 years old. Insurance companies paying out to write off cars rather than repair minor damage.
Yeah I noticed that. I had an old 1993 ford laser, amazing car, very reliable then had a minor bump that slightly bent the front radiator and insurance wrote the whole car off!
It's not about offering different vehicle choice. It's all about control. They can remotely switch off or restrict your movements in an ev, much more difficult if you have an old ice powered car or SUV.
Absolutely Unbelievable... ill still drive my v8 regardless if this bs comes in... and what about all the people who cannot afford a new car. What happened to freedom off buying what you like...
They're just trying to find a way to sell all the vehicles that have already been made that no one wants or can't afford. I'll happily keep maintaining and repair my 24 year old car for the rest of my life. Which is more harmful for the environment; maintaining my older car or the constant manufacturing of disposable cars?
Consumerism is far worse for the environment than people continuing to drive older cars. People forget the carbon footprint to manufacture a car is that high that it takes a couple of decades before you see any environmental benefit when compared to someone else who drives an older car! Ponder that and the people who replace their cars every few years... Even IF someone drives an EV, it'll be 15 - 20 years before they can feel morally superior if they factor in these types of details
And no ev has lived that long or are designed to have a life cycle of 15yrs. Ontop of that all evs are heavier and worse on tyres and polluting in electromagnetics.
We all know it’s greener to produce a new car than maintain an old one. It’s not like it’s 3x more carbon to produce an electric car than a Petrol. So we can fight carbon by producing more carbon✅
i heard somewhere that it takes as much materials to make 1 ev as it takes 96 hybrids nether loan non hybrid cars. in 20 years I am going to invent a vehicle that has 4 times the range, weighs half the amount, takes heaps less recourses to build and can top it up in less than 4 minutes and i am going to call it..... the internal combustion engine
Backyard workshops will be humming. Cash jobs with no receipts to keep older cars running nicely. Governments can’t track that and they also can’t stop companies from making and supplying parts for older cars. My everyday drive is a 2006 Golf TDI and I’m about to start restoring a 1995 Daihatsu Charade in my home workshop.
@@blunt3777 Nonsense, and we'll never go fully cashless. Even if we did, my price for a gearbox overhaul on a Mazda MX5 would be a new widescreen TV thank you. Back-yarding on cars has been going on for over a century. I did it now and again myself in the 1960's if a car owner approached me who could not afford a specific repair in a dealership workshop. Did quite a few engine overhauls and I guaranteed the work as well. Never had a come back.
We all know that all the emissions that go into make a crappy Chinese EV that's probably gonna rust out in 5 years don't count because it's made in another country. So it doesn't matter that building a new EV is going to produce more emissions than keeping an older car running.
Yearly inspections are mandatory in my country in which registration cannot be renewed without passing them. Creates quite the huntable database for cops to track down. All to easy for ai to assist through use of cameras on our roads. Amercia has a lot of support for right to repair but europe doesn't.
Make it illegal to sell the parts to these old cars, can't fix your car if you cant get the parts needed to do so. Luckily for us there will be a black market for used car part lol
I hate electric cars, I’m a car enthusiast. Let people have their choice of car, the countries infrastructure is no where near ready to have all electric cars. They have not been tried and tested enough to be 100% reliable and cost a fortune to repair, I’d rather have a push bike

What full crap!!!. My 1972 Mecedes 280s is made with actual metal and has a brass radiator which makes it more "fixable" than any other plastic fantastic bullshit on the road today.
might see some very cheap classics for sale soon? I did say to a mate in tinfoil hat discussions several years ago, they may change the rego rules so older cars can ONLY have club rego(not be used more than say 100 days a year) but this was for safety specs more than pollution, or circular economy etc.
This has been happening in British Columbia Canada for decades the one saving grace is applying for collector vehicle registration. There's a ton of restrictions ie: not a daily driver must be in mfg original condition etc.
When i can get a 'reliable' ev that will pull my 3 tonne work trailer day after day without the need to stop for longer than say 10 minutes to refuel/recharge, i might think about it as an option. But the fact is for me to do 1000km a week and spend 20 minutes refuelling/recharging its just never going to happen. The amount of time i would spend recharging said vehicle would cost me to much time. Who do I invoice for lost time???
People who think that EV's are cleaner then ice cars seriously have no idea what products are required to make the batteries for them. Also when EV batteries go into thermal runaway they do release very dangerous toxic gases when the burn. Ice car fires are less toxic and a lot easier to get under control. Lithium batteries do not grow on trees, the mining raw materials that go into lithium batteries are they reasons why EV manufacturing is so much more polluting to make over ICE vehicles.
They don't grow on trees but they are getting cheaper by the day and there is a global race on for quality, range, longevity and cost between the big 4 producers. Thermal runaway is impossible in a LFP.

Not all. One of my best mates is an integral member of the Sydney Electric Car Club, he's got an electric Lotus he built himself (he's an electrical engineer by trade). Before that he had an electric Toyota MR2, which he also built himself. He's an incredibly nice bloke and doesn't blow his own trumpet at all. And the cars he's built are BONKERS fast.
When the engine got cooked in my Daihatsu Terios work runabout he offered to help me convert it. Sadly it didn't end up happening cos when we started stripping it we discovered the whole rear floor was rusted out, but it would have been a fun car I reckon. It would have made sense too cos that car only drives 6km per day. We calculated a full charge would have lasted about 6 months, lol.

Awake = spreading disinformation to get views.
I'm sick of these BS attacks on ice car drivers! Car emissions are so much better than they use to be and only make up 10% of worldwide emissions! Property, business, shipping, flights, manufacturing, non of these have cut their emissions anything like cars have yet because these are generally not financed by banks like new car ownership is they don't bother trying to fix the real emissions issues! It's all about money, interest at the bank = good economy
Actually commercial aircraft have reduced emissions something like 70% when compared with aircraft of 30 years ago. The new engines RR, P&W, and GE are manufacturing today are incredibly efficient, so much so that it's now possible to fly from London to Sydney without a stop and still have some fuel left on arrival. Even 20 years ago that was just a pipe dream.
Shipping is changing too - all the new big container ships being built now are going electric, with diesel generators to supply power. They only use half the fuel of a comparable heavy fuel engine, can travel faster, quieter, and with half the emissions.
The "attacks" (to use your word) on ice cars is because there is so many of them. It's purely a numbers game. Make all of those cars just 10% more efficient and emissions drop by the same. It's the biggest gain for the smallest effort. There are 1.4 BILLION cars in the world (and that's not including trucks), aircraft still number less than half a million, and of those only about 40,000 are used for commercial aviation. It's not hard to see where the biggest gains can be made. That's why the cars are the biggest target. It's not some greenie agenda, it's just simple maths.
I agree, every big company with their skyscrapers full of lights and air-conditioning, giant logos that are illuminated, leave that crap on all night 'look at us, we're all that' - completely unnecessary and a waste of power, but where is the castigation for them?
Actually, private vehicles only make up about 7-8% of man-made carbon dioxide emissions world wide.
@@KnightIndustries572The true number is closer to 12%, which is roughly half of all transport emissions, which comprise about 24%, that's NOT including emissions from all the processes involved to build the vehicles. With cars making up half of all transport emissions it's not hard to see the biggest gain can be made there, which is why they are targeted. It's just simple maths.
Ourworldindata, Statista, Wikipedia, Climate Council, and the National Transport Commission all concur that the number is around 12%, so I'm not sure where you're getting your info from. If it's the right-wing media, you can't trust that.

@champspec the most revealing thing is that you blindly believed this dishonest clickbait video. That, and you're scientifically illiterate.
I recently watched a youtube clip of a British fella that bought an EV brand new. Said the car was now 2 years old and was now worth less than the replacement battery system for the car and the car dealer wasn’t interested in trading it in.

When I was in Ireland a couple of years ago one of the things I noticed was there are almost no older cars on the road.
I asked my brother-in-law (who is in the car game over there) about it and he said it's mostly because they salt the roads and the cars just rust away in no time. Unless you're lucrative enough to have two cars, and don't drive one of them for most of the year, you won't see any older cars.
All the little European hatchbacks are comparatively very cheap to buy new, and the 3 or 4 year old secondhand cars are so cheap that everyone just buys those and drives them until the rust gets them, then they just buy another one, and so on.
In Australia we don't have snow and ice (and salt) on our roads all winter like they do in the northern hemisphere so our cars last way longer. I imagine in the northern European countries no one will care about this anyway because all the cars have rusted away long before they reach 15 years old. Not that I believe it, it's just scare-mongering from the right wing, as always.
Totally agree 👍

Sigh. Ok, at 0.02% atmospheric carbon dioxide plants die of carbon starvation. At present, atmospheric carbon dioxide is at 0.04%. A century ago it was 0.03%, and that was just 0.01% away from planetary death. (Yes, that includes you. No Vegies) IF, we are responsible for the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, then our leer jets and V8 landcruisers have saved this planet from a disastrous extinction event.
However, considering that humankind are only responsible for 3% of all carbon dioxide emissions, it can't be our fault.
NASSA have recorded a greening of this planet over the last 50 years as a result of the increased atmospheric carbon. Deserts have shrunk.

People who think that EV's are cleaner then ice cars seriously have no idea what products are required to make the batteries for them. Also when EV batteries go into thermal runaway they do release very dangerous toxic gases when the burn. Ice car fires are less toxic and a lot easier to get under control. Lithium batteries do not grow on trees, the mining raw materials that go into lithium batteries are they reasons why EV manufacturing is so much more polluting to make over ICE vehicles.
They don't grow on trees but they are getting cheaper by the day and there is a global race on for quality, range, longevity and cost between the big 4 producers.
Thermal runaway is impossible in a LFP.
