- EVs Owners Had ENOUGH & SWITCHING BACK to Gas Cars! EV market is turning into a nightmare? Charging troubles, lack of infrastructure, range anxiety - EV owners are desperate. Because, electric cars are still not good enough to replace their gas-powered counterparts and these owners learned the hard way, from their own experience. Growing disparity between the supply and demand of EVs does not uniformly affect all models but most of EVs. We uncover the surprising trends and developments in the world of EVs and how it impcats the EV owners. Is the electric car revolution stalling? Buckle up and explore the reasons why some drivers are ditching their Electric Car. Watch and see if EVs are still the future, or if gas-powered cars are making a comeback!

😊 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?🤔
🔴THIS Has NEVER HAPPENED Before In The EV Market WATCH HERE 👉ruclips.net/video/zcbj9ssNGVo/видео.html
It's not a scam ...but who is in charge are the scammers there a difference....first of all batteries can be made universal....which means hot swappable n cheaper ....so u don't go to charge ur car u swab batteries ....now here is the scam is too expensive for less product
The cars are cheaply built with improve technology....I'm no idiot I prefer a well built vehicle than fancy gadgets I have kids n there life is more important than mine
EVs are a scam popularized by Elon Musk to build a company to suck investor money, government subsidies and carbon tax credits.
EVs are not environmentally friendly.
EVs are very wasteful of energy.
EVs cannot be recycled.
EVs are a fire hazard.
This is only happening in the US .. IF You go to Asia .. EV is Massive ! Something wrong with the USA .. totally backward. America was a champion for the Zero Emission and Yet is the one who deny it. Perhaps the OIL companies won't let go the business of Gas !
No they are not, are you a scammer?
Government forcing the use of electric cars is the bigger issue .
I agree that government should not get involved BUT they are. With the rebate, the Tesla Y is the same prices as a low end Camry.
EV incentives are no where near the numbers that ICE vehicles and Big Oil have gotten historically but you're right, ALL incentives should be ended. EVs are strong enough on their own now and don't need them anymore. Maybe legacy ICE makers who make EVs will be needing another couple of bailouts in the next couple of years so the government should be saving their money for that.
Government dictates most of your life !!
Government literally means, control of mind !!!

Where are you?
@@DrEd-th2lubut no one is fighting: Most people haven't even noticed a problem. I got the el cheapo Ford Fiesta in 2017 (5 speed stick not the goofy automatic and not the turbo). I figured I'd drive it 125k and then get a proper econobox like a Honda Fit. Funny thing happened though. They quit selling all of these models in the USA. Now I'm stuck driving the car forever because they no longer sell replacements.
EVs are toys for folks with too much money.
Toys that go 💥
So EV haters are folks with no money?
And time also which tends to go with wealth. They tend to be able to do things in their own time and not be under pressure from others on what to do and when.
I do not understand this....
Because drivingan EV saved me 60 grant (inn euro) in 8 years time (2013 to 2021) compared to driving a same sized ICE car. (Calculation based on TCO with 30000 km/year driving)

Why buy a car that's way more expensive but worse, makes no sense.
True. Gas cars don't make sense anymore.
If you're in US, Tesla Model Y is cheaper than the average new car price. Indisputable fact.

@@OIllllO All modern vehicles are "computers on wheels" Very little to go wrong with a Tesla. Try one at least. I leave the Diesel truck at home most of the time now.
Gas cars don't make sense anymore? Unless you buy an EV form china ,yes it does. The Chinese makes EVs with ranges of over 600 miles. Not available in the United States. If they were, i would have a Zeekr in my driveway right now. With my travels which is over 6,000 miles a year, i just can't use a car that makes you sit 20, 30 minutes for a short range. I have a Jaguar XJL. A large full size luxury automobile which tesla dosent even make. Paid off at 41K, 570 miles of range which supersedes any EV in America. Improve the EV with these fine qualities and improvements shit, now we're talkin!!! I would be the first one at the gates to buy one! Till then, I'll keep my jaguar XJl and leave well enough alone.....

EV owners are the vegans of the car world.
I don’t think ev owners are trying to convince anyone of anything. Generally we just get fed up when people put stuff online that’s just not true about EVs to put them off. Like they are inconvenient or expensive to run.

You realise you’ve bought a lemon when you go back to your favourite car dealer of EVs to buy a new car and the dealer doesn’t want to trade in your 2 or 3 year old vehicle
Correct
Why trade in a car?
that fool on Aging Wheels bought a Polestar 2 years ago...he owes TWICE what the car is worth, its now out of warranty, and drum role.....it needs the motor and axles replaced due to a faulty bearing.

The biggest problem is that there is no way of telling how healthy the battery is when looking at buying 2nd hand, and that is why the 2nd hand market is dead.
There is a way of telling. There are diagnostic tools you can plug in to the car which give a battery health check. It's like buying any second hand car: you take it to an expert for a pre purchase inspection. Don't rely on lifting the hood yourself and trying to figure it out.
Most batteries today have expected life spans of 300-400k miles so I'd trust their condition more than an ICE engine with half the miles.
Biggest problem is a few people making rules for alot of people

yup PEVS. bikes, scooters, one wheels, EUCs. I got an ebike. electric lawn mowers are now down to what a gas mower costs. i just priced them at walmart the other day. i have one its a push mower. i use it when my gas mower breaks which is like 3 or 4 times a year. i think the gas mower is gonna get sold this summer and i'm going to get a self propelled electric.
I started building electric cars in the 70s... I soon abandoned that idea after i figured out the vehicle would never be more than a environmental disaster.
Nobody wants them.
They dont have resell or junk value.
You cant travel continuously from point A to point B across multiple states.
Youll spend half your vacation waiting for your vehicle to be able to continue.
Who wants ev charging stations at a state park or national forest...not me personally.
EVs today have a weight and combustion problem.
I'm a expert at propulsion engineering.
I started build EVs in my teens. I received my degree through the military.
And even with a degree I could see EVs no matter the configuration are just built for single purpose use.
Trains, submarines and other hybrids still consume more than a conventional gasoline or diesel.
Theres a parasitic loss in converting electric power.
EVs just cut out the ability to recharge anywhere.
They arent viable in any form except localized driving.
Very good points. They will establish as local non polluting silent vechicles, for a long time.which is still a big gain for the cities.
I still haven't figured out the "green" part of coal-powered cars.
And this comment gets no replies because it’s over the head of most the EV greenies!
Isn't carbon footprint lowest in diesel engines anyways
Firsltly, there is a choice of fuel. No reliance on one type. Secondly there is a control over where the pollution occurs.
I think it's because the children mining the lithium burn less calories than adults.
The answer has been in front of them for decades…hybrids. It started like this and worked great. The first auto manufacturer to put their efforts towards a more efficient hybrid system will win this battle.
Toyota
Hybrids still produce emissions when they run the goal is to end as much emissions as we can. Hybrids are the answer for the long distance commute. We need Hybrids that can actually plug in and have a decent battery. putting an ICE in a EV and powering it off the ICE is straight up pointless and actively antithetical to the point of EV's. Again Hybrids are best when we can treat them as EV's with an engine as backup. Moving entirely to EV's without a transitional step will make much of this harder without real need.
No. In a lab yes. In the real world people are not plugging in PHEVs the way the manufacturers test them. A mild hybrid in town is best for stop start traffic because it’s lighter. The use case for a PHEV where it beats a mild hybrid or a BEV or something like an Atkinson cycle HEV is extremely narrow. It’s right around the 60 mile pure electric summer or 40 mile pure electric winter range.
They are heavier.
They are more complex .
Their battery chemistry is the same as a BEV.
Their engines need servicing.
Their engines need to turn over occasionally to remain sealed and lubricated
@@theshi3152U cant end emissions. Ur eco activist do more emissions with their private planes. Car emissions are no problem
@@madhunter6420 transportation emission are the largest source of emissios.. so your just out right wrong. we actually emit way more per Vehicle than most do in their entire lives with a plane. you want to complain then complain to the Rich. they are the problem they always have been. Car emissions alone consume nearly all of our natural Co2 budget. So try again please. your simply wrong.
Advertising for EVs is the biggest problem they basically lie about them continuously quoting inflated range claims charging times and the so called network that has failed chargers have to wait for them to be free to use
It surprising me the car industry thought shittier versions of Teslas were going to sell.
The biggest problem is processing lithium takes a mass amount of fresh water the very thing that runs the hydro plants, but the processed water is not reclaimable.

I got my first EV almost 2 months ago. I purchased a Tesla model Y. I could care less about the fairytale of man made global warming. Go Trump BTW. I bought the Tesla for local driving and I slow charge it at home each night. I also live in TN so it does not get crazy cold and power is cheap. It costs 2.8 cents per mile to drive the Tesla Y. It cost 13.3 cents per mile to drive my Camry. I am saving about 50 dollars a month on fuel and I do not need to refill at a charging station unless I take a 300 mile trip. Over all I am very pleased with the EV. I of course did go with a tesla since that is what they do instead of a ford or some other company pretending to do EV cars. Most of the EV complaints appear to be non tesla complaints. When the solid state batteries come out range will no longer be an issue but needing a strong electric grid will be needed of course.
Wow, that’s great. You are speaking for yourself. Not the majority.
@@Splendid_Lad Most of what I said would be true for everyone. Live and learn kiddo.
I think the depreciation is one of the biggest problems. I watched another channel where the owner of a Polestar 2 provided an update after 2 years of ownership. The car had already lost 60% of it's value and once the battery warranty expires after 100,000 miles the car will have lost 75% of it's value in less than 3 years, that's pretty wild. However it's understandable people don't want to pay a lot for a car when replacing the battery will cost more than twice the value of the car. Also understandable dealer don't want to sell used EVs out of warranty as they have to provide some warranty and they could end up losing a lot of money.
Wow , someone who spelled losing correctly.

@@steveinoz8188 He is stuck with it now as it's only worth half of what he still owes on the car.

The disposable cellphone on wheels is failing, Who would have known.
I cracked up when one Brit said the EV is a disposable car. It's true. Just like our RC cars, batteries run for 15 minutes, takes 3 hours to charge and die quickly.

The car will be junk well before that @@geoffeaton3928
@@geoffeaton3928 Just like the 20 year warranty on Chinese solar panels, the companies just go insolvent before any warranty period is honored. This is standard practice with Chinese products. Does your cellphone battery last 15 years? The technology in car batteries is not much different. Just a lower power density used in EV batteries to try to eliminate thermal overloads.

Can you imagine what is going to happen in the next 5-10 years- all the used electric vehicles that need a new battery pack? Who is going to be stupid enough to buy one? That durability issue is like a ticking major expense bomb!😳
...except that the new battery packs coming out of BYD are good for a million miles ... how many ICE cars will last that long?
I have comments that i left on RUclips, some of which are almost a decade old (I have many still in archive) where I predicted all of these things and more. And I have earned the right to say.... I told you so!
Give them another 10 years and they will all be creating a landfill problem
The EV infrastructure in Canada is nowhere near where it needs to be to support the federal government’s planned mandate for EV sales imposed on manufacturers. Additionally it’s easy to see that when tax revenue from petroleum sales drops, the feds will come after EV drivers as well as increasing taxation on other sources. Add in that while EVs might be cleaner to drive depending on how electricity is generated in your area, the carbon footprint in their manufacturing isn’t stellar.
5 years out we should see solid state batteries in more mainstream, while waiting for charging infrastructure and electricity generation to catch up. Batteries would just get cheaper to keep lowering the ownership entry.
Anyone who remembers the 70's "gas crisis" and is buying a "new" car should consider a plug in hybrid. As the price of gas goes up and it's availability declines having the ability to run "all electric" is a great option. The battery packs are smaller and less expensive to replace than those in a pure EV, and as long as gas is available you don't have range anxiety and when not charging at home can "fill up" at a gas station in 5 minutes.
the slow charging of these things and abysmal range would be to annoying for me and the most plugin buyers buyed an bev next anyways so it was a money pit
As if we all didnt know that was going to happen....
Evs are very expensive to buy
Very expensive to insure
Very expensive to repair and maintain
Unreliable and poorly built ...
And the depreciation is like falling off a cliff .......
So why would you even buy one ...?
Relative cheaper than the BMWs I used to buy. A little more ($200), but not much more expensive to insure than BMW.
Much cheaper to maintain and operate. (5.5 years in) Extremely reliable (thus cheap to maintain) and still good as new. Due to constant software enhancements it's like new car. Bought two Tesla to replace BMWs. 99.5% I just charge at home, takes 5 seconds to plug it in. 1/3 the cost of gas to run.
"Evs are very expensive to buy " .... and enormously less expensive to run. I've had zero maintenance on my 2017 Bolt, it's totally trouble free, and saves me about $50/week on gas, not to mention no oil changes, brake pad changes, etc,. etc. It saves us so much on a weekly basis that our budget has improved significantly.
Funny how this 'news channel' fails to mention that the very same Consumer Reports article it references says (directly from the article): The Model Y joins the Model 3 in earning CR Recommended status.
“Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y are now the sweet spot in the automotive industry when it comes to building electric cars,” Fisher says. “While Tesla is still a relatively new car company, it has more experience producing EVs than any other automaker.”
“While Tesla’s EV components are generally reliable, the company continues to struggle with the build quality of its vehicles,” says Steven Elek, who leads the auto data analytics program at CR. “Tesla powertrains are now pretty solid for the most part, but Tesla owners report a lot of build quality issues including irregular paint, broken trim, door handles that don’t work, and trunks that don’t close. All of these pull down the brand’s reliability score.”
To be a less shitty channel, you might want to include more representative info. Thanks & take care!
These channels are supported/ endorsed by the fossil fuel industry , which is spending millions on anti EV propaganda. If EV's are so bad, why is the uptake continuing to grow at an ever increasing rate?

EVs sales are growing everywhere on the planet. (50% in China, 95% in Norway, 8% in USA, etc.).
To conquer the rest of the world 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.
I just bought a 2y old Toyota Corolla full Hybrid. Best decision. No charging and less fuel needed. Also very reliable!
You left out the drop in value compared to combustible engine vehicles

"Second or even third vehicles" I have FIVE internal combustion powered cars, all run fine, they are all registered and insured, and four of them are carbureted.
This is a very professionally produced video, oil companies and car makers are spending big bucks trying to stamp out EVs.
bought Tesla in 2019 and have loved it. traded in all ICE and have driven from Texas to California. Love them.
Yeah, that's were Tesla was smart about installing a nationwide charging infrastructure and is why Tesla sales are way ahead of other EV's who lack charging locations.
WRONG.
When needed to replace my 17 year old Hybrid in 2022, I considered an EV. But in addition to the cost, I did not see it practical for my uses due to range and lack of support infrastructure. I went for a PHEV instead.
Glad I did. It has been the best of both worlds for my uses.
EVs are the type of car someone like Biden would drive - if he could!
Biden is a liar. His limousine is gas powered
That's why he hides his classic vette in the unlocked garage lol
Trunp wears an electric diaper.
Home charging at worst is 7kW. In 1 hour you will have 7 kWh. After 10 hours you will add 70kWh to the battery. Most EVs have a battery that can easily be charged at less than 10 hours overnight. At 25 cents per kW hr (off peak) that's $2.50. Most EVs will travel 250 mile or more with 70kWh of charge.
Average daily traveling is under 100 miles
@@13thbiosphere So a 4 hr charge would be fine.

@@jackmorganfiftyfive statistically petrol cars are just as dangerous as a fire bomb, the few electric cars that do explode get massive publicity but all the gas guzzling cars that explode although that's just normal
One thing they don't talk about is the constant tire replacement due to the weight of the e vehicle being more than regular cars. Also, twiddling your thumbs while you wait for your vehicle to charge. Wait when servos go out.....over 10k each.
Are you saying that ice cars don’t need their tyres changed regularly?
i believe hybrid hasn't been developed to it's highest potential, mainly because the people who think they are the masters of the universe don't want the drones to have autonomy, i think two balanced turbines directly powering the drive moters & charging batteries at set RPM eliminating reving an engine is the most efficient & versatile set-up, when you upgraded you don't need to remodel the car as it's connected by leads 'you don't need to rewire a house when you change your kettle' and maybe if you're eco home needs a top up after work, you plug your house into the car instead of car into house
PS, also you can service it like a starter motor or an alternator just drop the old one off at a parts store and take a reconditioned replacement.
It requires fossil fuels to mine, manufacture,transport and charge the EV.

Yes it does. But it takes 300 to 400 times more resources to build and run an ICE through its whole lifetime compared to an EV. Even if you charge an EV using Europe's dirtiest coal power station it is still a tiny fraction of the emissions an ICE generates.
@@AdrianHilder very valid point the resource impact comparison (even if the dirties coal you find in places like India). EVs are not the panacea but hugely more sustainable thatn ICEs. The reactions to this video show how difficult it is to talk objectively about the differences of EVs vs ICEs in a country where climate change has been so totally politicized and half of the population have been duped into thinking that humans' role in it is a hoax. Obviously that illusion makes one feel good to keep doing things like driving ICEs that bit by bit destroy the future of our kids. Anyway, China is going electric big time (dumping ICEs to Russians) and so do we in Europe (+ to green H2).
@@eeroailio8168 Years ago because I didn't want to be fooled in thinking global warming was man made I did some research into why we think it is. We know where elevated CO2 in the atmosphere comes from - industry, cars, plus others and a big one is international shipping. What remained for me to discover is how we know it is mostly CO2 causing the warming. Well, we have satellites with spectroscopy instruments that can detect how much electromagnetic radiation from the sun is absorbed in the atmosphere and at what wave lengths. Most is absorbed at a wave length CO2 will absorbs. Case close - global warming is man made and happening at a speed unprecedent in the geological history we are able to measure. There is no hiding from this.
Three cheers for frying the planet. Big oil is investing big in air conditioners.
I love my EV for the city. For road trips, we’re not there yet.
How do you think your EV battery is made with rainbows ? Don’t virtue signal without the facts of how resources for EV batteries are mined and produced as they are not environmentally friendly and neither is the waste produced from flat batteries.
The Climate con has worked on low hanging fruit of ICE cars ,that EV buyers actually think they are somehow better for buying and EV ,which equals Environmental Vandalism in more ways than one.
I will stick to my ICE car ,which can be adapted to more sustainable fuels technology in the future ,while you pay through the nose for replacement battery and watch your other battery go into land fill ,yeah really environmentally friendly when you replace EV batteries.

@@Trust_but_Verify that was smart of you. being it took more fresh water to process the lithium in your one EV alone then your family will use in your life time.. I guess when you vote blue you don't care about the one thing you and your family can't live without FRESH WATER. yea lithium contaminates fresh water that is not reclaimable.
Interesting how in that frame where unreliable charging networks is mentioned, they show a shot of the most reliable charging network (Tesla) which has 90+% uptime. Typical anti-EV, anti-Tesla takedown. I don't even own an EV, but my uncle bought an EV for around town driving, while keeping his old ICE car for that once or twice a year road trip. Win win situation - the ICE car will last for ever as it won't do hardly any miles now, and the EV will cost next to nothing to run, especially as he charges it from solar on his garage roof. For people in that situation, EV's are a no-brainer.
Parking an ICE car up for weeks at a time may be disasterous if fluids are allowed to go bad.
Getting an engine good and warm and keeping it hot for a while every day to boil off water, pump fresh fuel etc is ideal. If somebody does a road trip with oil that's been sitting for a month or more towards the end of it's life it could be bad news. Still probably better for the engine than 2 minute trips multiple times a day, every day.
@@joytotheworld9109 I'm sure he does start it up regularly to make sure it's OK, but yes all the usual maintenance like changing oil etc still applies, except maybe once every 2 years instead of every 6 months.
6:25 imagine if the water pump in your gasoline pick up truck goes bad and they tell you” well we can’t replace the water pump we have to replace the entire engine that’s $10,000” this is what’s happening with EV’s.
There’s literally no infrastructure, and when I say no infrastructure, I’m not just talking about charging, which is already a nightmare. There’s nobody including body shops, mechanics, or anybody else when it comes to infrastructure for these things. It’s a complete nightmare.
I love my EV that I now own for 4 years, but its a pain in the as@e for country drives !

Ford F150 is the best selling vehicle in the USA for the last 50 years! Get your facts right😂
The fan boys hate the the F150 outsells every car Tesla sells. After having a Model S in the family I can tell you it was a complete POS. The company is shady AF.
Toyota Rav4 outsold the Model Y in 2023 as far as suv's go and they are built better as well. Teslas have serious quality issues.
Lol... nope. I have to drive my BMW to keep the battery in good condition and take care of the brakes. But ever since I got my Tesla S I almost never drive my other cars.
You are singing the song of other EVs but Teslas couldnt be simpler.
3 times as expensive muppet
I agree. The other car companies are pretending to be EV companies and do a half ass job. I like my new Tesla Y so much I am planning on getting a new Model 3 if the rebates cover it in the near future. I will still have a gas minivan for long trips and hauling stuff.
if you are a multi-car family i think it is possible to have one of them electric. i have had hybrids in the past and they are great for a single person with no back-up.

As a 2nd vehicle they make sense. Commute back and forth, charge overnight at home, sure. But without a garage and a level II charger, nah.
Yet still you will get ripped off big time
And that is ignoring totally that the electricity grid cannot supply the power for cheap home charging
I think you just need the garage or at least that is all I need. It charges at 4.8 miles per hour doing the slow method and I am fine with that.
@@frankgriffin6293if you can run a hair dryer you can charge your EV.
You can set your charger to 10 amps for example .
At 240 volts that would be 2.4 kw
Gives you 10 miles of range added per hour..
80 miles overnight more than enough for most people's daily drive.
You don't need a garage to charge just a place to park your vehicle on your property.
A level 2 charger can be set to charge down to 5 amps which is less than half of a hair dryer..

Great Darmou. You're doing well so the rest of the world shouldn't have any problems too...
Agree. I have a Jeep Wrangler and a Tesla model Y. The Jeep hasn’t left the garage in 2 months. Literally none of the issues highlighted in this video have impacted me. What in the world does the author of this video mean by saying using DC charging can cost more than gas??? This is very dishonest. I’m “filling my EV tank” for under $30 at the most expensive superchargers near Boston. Also, many of my family members that fall for these negative videos completely change their minds after driving my model Y.
What's a "roadtrip"? I habitually go 13-15 hours, 800ish miles, straight-thru. No long breaks for meals or anything else, fill up, grab some snacks, use the facilities, and back on the road. Sometimes switching drivers, sometimes not. There isn't an EV made today that will allow me to travel like I want/am used to. If it works for you, good for you. I'll never be buying one.

I was late so many times to get to where I needed to go. It cost our company a lot of money because we were always charging them so they finally switched us back to gas cars. Time is money
I swear to Google. The fuel economy of an electric vehicle would be less worse IF they come with solar panels.
Current Solar Panel technology is not good enough to fully charge an electric vehicle. But AT LEAST it will give said vehicle an extra boost in distance driving.
Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
Some information might be true to a certain level of EVs. I bought a tesla model 3, and it's the best decision I've made and will never go back to gasoline car. I've traveled in my tesla long distances and never faced an issue with charging. In fact, i enjoy traveling in my tesla than i ever did in my previous gas cars. Tesla super chargers are everywhere and are the most reliable. The quick response and agility of the car compares to many expensive gas cars. When you charge at home, the cost is 1/5 th of gas and never have to stop at a gas station. Charging outside is about half the cost of gasoline. The range anxiety is the problem with most non ev users, but a 250 range would be more than enough for 4 day use without recharging (at home). Tires last as long as a regular car, but all depends on your frequent rotation and driving habit. Mine rated at 40k miles and have over 44k and are still going. EVs have smooth and quieter rides, instant torque, no smell nor fumes, no oil changes, and the best part is never having to stop at a gas station line. They are cheaper to maintain on the long run.
Expairimet that went very wrong .EVs have been around for over a hundred years. If you know history you already new this hundred years later same problems battery's and range. Facts matter.
Current EV batteries hold 1000x the electricity as they did 100 years ago.
EVs may have been a thing longer than ICE, but because Ford made the Model T cheap and gas became inexpensive, EVs kinda died then and there. The hiatus went from around 1912 to 1996 when the first mass-produced EV went back on sale (GMs EV-1). In that time span, IC engines continued to develop, but EVs were just relegated for homemade carts with no serious R&D.

lulz until you have to replace the battery, get in a minor fender bender, try and resell it, it is cold outside and the vehicle is rendered useless, or the batteries spontaneously combust and burns for a day or two while it burns your house down while your sleeping and there is not even a corpse to recover... and boring? you have obviously never driven a performance V8 or a fast motorcycle. if they are so much better than why have they not dominated and replaced combustion engines in any form of professional racing?! you want fun? then try race vehicles that are the street versions with combustion engines. you cry about maintenance but you have to change tires more often with an EV and if anything goes wrong with them it pretty much get's totaled by the insurance company because repairs are incredibly expensive and no one will work on them for multiple reasons, few know how, the batteries are too dangerous to deal with if damaged, and everything is electronically controlled with very few analog parts. combustion engines can be worked on by anyone with some tools, a good service manual, and some knowledge. heck you can find pretty much any repair for any combustion engine right here on youtube! good luck finding any video on how to repair anything of substance on your electric vehicle buddy...

Where O live in Northern California the charging cost has gone from 12.7 cents per kwh in 2014 to current 35.2 on PG&E's EV off peak rate. Or under 4 cents per mile to over 10 cents per mile. A Prius costs about 10 cents per mile with current gas costing $5.5 per gallon. If you back out the $1.2 California gas taxes and fees there are a number of hybrids that cost less to fuel than my Tesla Model S. By the way one month ago gas was $4.50 per gallon in my area. I sold my 2014 P85DL late last year and the depreciation made it one of the most expensive cars I have owned. I replaced it with a Model S Plaid for the same reason I purchased the first one, It's performance. By the way the price of the new one was around $30,000 less than the one I got in 2014.

EV's are the biggest con on Earth.. fact!
Nothing is mentioned above a BIGGER concern involving EV ownership. EVs spontaneously burst into flames or explode due to cracks or minor damage to the EV batteries or flimsy construction. Also, due to the location where the batteries are housed, neither firefighters nor car owners can extinguish the flame source with exterior forces (water, etc) as the batteries (the source) are completely enclosed on all sides. Even if u can extinguish the flames, they could reignite at any time. Firefighter need to be informed beforehand about an EV being the fire source. This way they can bring a new tool to extinguish the burning EV.
You only have one chance to make a first impression. If these companies would’ve done things right the first time and not forced everything down our throats, things might’ve been different.
Have an EV on a control electric rate of .05 cent which very cheap. About 165 miles per $3.00 gal of gas. Charging at home, great. On the road, kind of a pain. It's a learning prosses.
