Let's be clear. There's a big difference between a "start" button, and "auto stop/start". AND a big difference between starting an electric vehicle, vs starting a car that has an internal combustion engine. Both EV's (electric) and ICE cars (with internal combustion engine) have done away with keys that you insert and turn, in favor of the contact-less key FOB. So when you get into an EV, you turn on the power. But you don't "start" the motor. It simply goes when you push the accelerator pedal. In a car with a gas powered engine, you first start the engine, THEN you step on the pedal to go. It stands to reason that electric vehicles can eliminate the need for both the startup key, AND the start button. With a gas engine, you might have keyless entry, and automatic "power on" for the electronics. But you still have an ignition button to start the engine. As for "auto stop/start"...I do NOT like that, and I've disabled it on my gas powered Internal Combustion car. Others might like the feature...that's ok with me! But it was hard for me to get accustomed to the engine going off at a stop light, then starting back up every time. And I noticed very little difference in gas mileage. But with an EV...that's what it does! It "auto-stop/starts" because electric motors do that! You arrive at a stop light or sign, step on the brakes, and the motor slows down and stops. And vice-versa.
I rented a an Audi A2 many years ago and it sorta freaked me out when the engine stopped. I only read about it and I don't even think we had it in the US. It turned off with clutch and brake. It would start as I lifted the clutch, just before the friction point. My guess is it's hard on the engine and may even increase emmisions but that probably depends on the specific driving.
From my understanding stop/start primary reason was emissions. Although minimal, the idea was to help reduce emissions by turning off the vehicle rather than idling.
Every electrical appliance that I've ever owned has a power switch. I don't want my appliances to turn themselves on automatically, and I don't want to carry a bulky battery-dependent fob where a reliable paper-thin key would suffice.

I thought this was going to be a joke but not the way I was expecting. Not funny. Confusing video---jumping into ICE start/stop for no reason then rambing on about marketing. EV's from old, like the Baker and Delco, as well as EVs from the revival in the 90s and all of the trucks & shuttles made since the 1950's from companies like Cushman and Taylor & Dun already had this "technology". The 130 year old (I just learned) start button elimination technology starts at about 3:00

Dude doesn't even know that auto start/stop and keyless start are different things. Nice AI generated script

why dont youtube have a DISCLAIMER in font of every AI generated Video
