- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2024
- Many electric vehicle (EV) owners are reconsidering their choices and switching back to gas-powered cars. But why? In this video, we explore the real reasons behind this surprising shift. From charging anxiety and high operating costs to issues with range, reliability, and rapid depreciation, the truth about EVs might not be what you expect. Join us as we break down the six major reasons why EV owners are returning to traditional combustion engines. Are electric vehicles really as green and cost-effective as we thought? Watch to find out!
It's green energy by filling the pockets of Politicians with green.
Yeah, they are filling pockets with the tax payer’s money.
There are 2 more reasons to avoid EV cars
1. Strong EMF-radiation making people dizzy and get other health issues
2. Battery heating causing fires hard to stop => insurance will be more expensive, as well as (like now in China) parking house will ban EV for this reason
AVIS in the US sold all their EV because high maintenance costs. There is few moving parts => bigger and more expesive parts need to be changed after collisions etc
Fossil fuel is not fossil - since it's produced continuously and CO2 is not a problem => the whole EV thing is a big hoax
THE ONLY TRUTH.
it's green...as in money
Couldn't agree with you more that Elon Musk should be sitting in prison for life for what he's doing😇😇🇺🇸🇺🇸
How about the batteries starting on fire by themselves
Gas cars are 40 times more likely to catch on fire and hybrids even more
it takes 4 times the amount of water to diffuse. After the fire is out it can start again spontaneously.
Shhh.... we don't talk about that.
Don't forget about how much earth has to be mined. All the machines that mine those minerals are run on fossil fuel. Power grids can't handle all the draw on electricity.
And that's just one of it's many problems.
I don't care whose brand it is I will never drive an EV
@@parttimetourist No problem, there will always be more available chargers for me 🤣
And the world is glad for you. At least the people that own oil stocks like me!
Staying with my Willys Jeep thank you.
I agree totally
I love my EV. Finding chargers isnt bad ..
It has always been a scam
It’s no a scam if you think about how long it took to go from the model T to the cars we drive today. It’s going to take another 25 to 30 years to get the EV to be as good and reliable as the modern gasoline powered cars.
@@glennjohnso310 Our government spent 7 billion dollars and they only installed 8 chargers! You do realize that power plants use gas powered generators to power our country. And I have friends who have them complain about charging stations are alway’s crowded and they spend as much for the charge as it it cost for gas. It’s a scam
@@williamyoung5001 I’m not trying to push EV’s. All I’m saying is cars take years and years to develop and they are trying to force EV’s on us way ahead of the development.
@@glennjohnso310🤪😜😁🤠 Perhaps you believe in the tooth-fairy?
@@glennjohnso310I think you are probably right . Once we have sorted cheap , reliable and abundant electricity supply , then ev”s will be a good choice . Doing this now is to demand even more from old , limited , technology . We are not yet ready but the investors in this want to make money now !
If they have to force these things onto the people, its a bad idea. The people know what they want and this isn't it. The market has spoken.
Just like the vaccines

Just ask the city of Edmonton about this. They have a fleet of city buses that don't work in the cold and have major issues even in good weather
But they have a probe on Mars that runs on a battery. Check the average temp on Mars(I guess they have thermometers measuring temps😂😂😂), but it's a lie, too!
@@jimmyReesby Something wrong with you upstairs?
The mayor is an ex liberal politician. And Rogers place? What a good deal for the residents. Tax payers pay for everything incl. taxes on that bldg. so the oilers owner can make millions. Even though Edmonton owns the bldg. kates was paid by rogers for their name, he makes money off of the concessions in the arena and If the old coliseum is used, the city pays him a fee again for not using the rogers facility. The previous mayor Mandell owns rental property in the same area, thats why he pushed for the new arena. Now his property goes up in value.

@@waynekannegiesser9838 True I have a Chevy Bolt and for the last two years and have only added wiper fluid (twice). My car goes to a car wash every week so looks like brand new. I charge at home all the time , and have zero battery degradation. 4.2 lifetime miles per kilowat.
No desire to buy a stupid EV ever,
What about a smart one?
Homer said the same 😂
Not me either. I would if it made sense. Or was cheaper. Or did a damn thing for the environment. The charging is what is foolish
@@aural_supremacy 😄😄😄😄
@@666dynomax charging at home is so inconvenient, ya got to plug it in a couple of times a week, trips to the gas station, and dealership for oil changes is so much more desirable.
People that brag about their EVs, don't go anywhere, just like big brother wants it.
Imagine having a 80k ev and still have to rent a car for road trip somewhere. Thats not winning at all
I’ve never driven to Europe. Driving between my homes, 1,978 miles apart, and driving to all the corners of the lower 48, except for that, I never go anywhere.
This is a video with an agenda and it doesn’t do the topic justice. Can you imagine the scepticism 120 years ago when gasoline cars began to be notable? You had to special order gasoline. No suitable road system, no filling stations, parts and auto mechanics a rarity. Only the simple minded would argue today that we’d be better off with horses that eat grass and can be refuelled on the side of the road. Talk about people not going anywhere -
Everybody should buy what works for them, let’s see what supply and demand will do, the free market, in the future.
@@tedbaxter5234 Your last sentence said it all. I couldn't agree more.
It will take time to work out all of the problems. The technology is still too new and expensive. Once they work the kinks out, and the tech has matured, EV’s might be a viable solution. Until then don’t try to force people to buy them. Work on fixing the problems with them. Talking about horses, that is a pretty “green” way of getting about. No fuels..no electricity, and they help fertilize the land helping plants grow when they poop.
I think video hits the nail on the head! How about insurance? Fire hazard? Battery longevity! ETC....
450miles per tank and I travel in comfort on highways. EVERY exit has a fuel station and prices are clearly displayed
I have a Kia soul with a manual trans that gets 35 MPG on the highway consistently. It has a 16 gallon tank, so in theory I can get over 500 miles on a tank and still not run out of gas. No way will I get an EV instead.
Yes. That is today escenario. A few numbers a few years back auto sales were 80 million per year. This year sales will go to 70 million , but 14 milljon are electric. So the manufacture od ICE cars have droped from 80M to just 56 m per year. Too many manufacturers with too much excess plant capacity with too high labor rates. Result. Manufacturing plants need to be closed. lay off have to be done. Unions will strike making billions of losses to the manufacturers. ICE cars will become more expensive, and Ev are getting better every year and most importan a lot cheaper. As of today yoy can buy an EV in the US for al leat 10,000 less than an ICE car. That gap will only go up.
@@EnriqueAThieleSolivan I think you posted this in the wrong place. It has nothing to do with anything said here.
As a response though, how are EVs getting better every year? The battery is the biggest problem, and they are actually not getting better, and with bad quality control, they may be worse. Even if they improve, the infrastructure isn't growing anywhere near enough to support an increase in EVs on the road. There needs to be a whole new way to generate electricity. Most is produced using coal. There needs to be more charging stations, and a more effecient, and cheaper way to charge them. We are nowhere near close to making all electric a plausible reality.
True. Our 2008 Lexus es 350 easily gets 35 mpg at 70mph on trips, comfortable, quiet, fairly quick when needed, and hopefully goes another 16 years. And everything still works, but doesnt spy on me like the new stuff.
@@onusgumboot5565 I'll keep my 10 year old ICE vehicle that will last longer even today than a new EV.
For anyone considering buying an EV, I highly recommend renting one for a week and taking a road trip(If you plan on traveling in one). This will help you make the right decision for yourself. I rented one and it helped me make my decision. The rental charge was money well spent.

It is in the trough, should come back but in the mean time, Hybrids should be the mandate. That is no ICE only options in the near future, ie, after 2030, but Hybrids are exempt, if plugin hybrid.
The Sheep will continue buying them.
US EV sales up 7% through the first half of 2024. Tesla sales up 6% in Q3 over Q3 last year. It's over? LOL
I bought an ipace, I've lost 15k in one year, it's done 25k miles and the battery has issues, so when it's fixed, it's gone... They are not cheap so don't believe the cheap charging, when you factor in the depreciation it's like running a V12
Good luck trying to sell it
@@Mikefromcanmore107 bit of luck it'll burst into flames when they tamper with it at JLR
Interesting.
The I pace is the king of recalls by fire risk. No ev is worse than that, Not changed during 10 years. Only manufacturers that know how to manufacture ev and get a profit are Tesla ,and BYD. Anyting outside that range is a gamble. the company may decide to not make any more ev, go bankrupt, etc.

@@danielemerson6833 My cover is blown. Oops.😁
I don't think that the infrastructure will ever be sufficient in my lifetime. They sure didn't think THIS one thru.
An excellent point!
What is more insane is that the same morons pushing all electric houses and transportation are simultaneously tearing down old power plants because they're not wind or solar! So they are increasing the electrical demand and simultaneously reducing the electrical supply... Brilliant!
What no one ever mentions, is that the infrastructure you mentioned requires industrial sized power to little 8-slot parking lots - because a single "rapid charger" consumes a quarter million watts! That's right, 2 MEGAWATTS in one little charging lot...
Most people travel 100km avg a day a small battery gets around 300 to 400 and higher capacity give you 600 to 800km with 1000km batteries existing but being impractical.
Pure EVs should come with a free prescription for anti-anxiety pills.
I'd think suppositories would be more appropriate.
I can't imagine what their Home electric bills are lol!!
About $20 more per month. Which is about $200 less than I used to spend on gas every month
Oh and by the way we don't have enough coal fire plants to produce enough electricity to charge all the batteries.😂
In the UK the last coal fired plant was close a few days ago. Coal power lasted 142 years, but it was too polluting. And yes we have all the electricity needed if we close all the coal plants, oil plants, and gas plants. They consume too much energy to oprate. Using solar with battery storage is the way to go Done in less than a year, cheaper than mechanical plants, low maintenance and a lot more efficient. The grid will be transformed a lot faster than you can imagine.
@@EnriqueAThieleSolivan You don't have room for all the solar farms needed... Due to: No solar power at night / when cloudy / when panels are dirty or covered in snow. Battery storage? Nope, the materials to make them aren't available. Costs? Even without the previous cons you or any other country can _not_ pay for it! Not the initial cost nor the maintenance and replacement.
@@Michael-jx9bh Solars and battery banks for houses are already available here in the "wild east" of Europe. Battery systems are improving. Humanity could use SALT to store energy with a bit less energy density. Solars are going up fast on those roofs which frees up a lot of the electric system. We're not there yet but on a good way that energy production simple doesn't need fossil fuel.
@@EnriqueAThieleSolivanUK uses nuclear power and geo thermal heating and imports oil/natural gas they do not rely solely on wind and solar nor is it feasible to only use majority wind and solar
@@EnriqueAThieleSolivan Battery storage is a very dirty way to go. Mining and manufacturing nasty metals into batteries that last perhaps 20 years, and currently have no safe and efficient way of recycling. I was shocked when I searched the web and couldn't find any estimates of more than 5-10% current recycling... and that is only from hybrids and some EVs. Then of course there is the fire danger.
Pumped storage also has high up front costs, and of course requires altitude differential, but it's clean, lasts forever, and can't catch fire...
There are many lies being told and a lot of information deleted about EVs. Because of the batteries they wear out the tires much faster. They also wear out the roads faster, no one talks about the cost to replace those batteries or what effect the old batteries will have on the environment. The gas tax pays a lot toward roads, so where will that money come from with EVs. Many of the poor but gas cars at buy here pay here lots, what will they do if they can't afford an EV. Will electric companies be raising their rates because they need to build new generating facilities to keep up with demands. Lots of questions few answers
Best reason to abandon EV's is just plain common sense,
AMEN.
Bestvreason to abandon ICE cars is human lives. Contaminants kill 1 million people yearly, and make a lot more sick with repiratory illness. The ICE car is like a giant cigar. 20 metric tons of polutants released to the atmosphere every year by evry ICE car.
Send the EVs to California
Send Sacramento to China!
We dont want them. They must be banned.
Should have thought of that (lack of public charging stations) before buying an EV… Too expensive and resale values are atrocious. 👎🤦♂️
Great concept but the true reasons current ev’s are not selling well is simple. They’re not long range. They’re to expensive and to expensive to repair. Has an issue of the battery spontaneously combusting. Again great concept but still in its infancy. There are other forms of power and much lighter that could be developed. It’s almost as if they are designed to support a market for replacement parts (battery), the gotcha moment!
And wait until these batteries start getting replaced, and there’s no place to dispose of them. Do you want to live next to a lot full of expired batteries?
Electric vehicles are meant to be only used to commute in your city or town. That application is practical but EVs aren't practical for use on the highways.

@@gabbyhayes4561 You assume wrong. Do you know Elon Musk is one of Trumps biggest supporters? Did you know Trump LOVES Tesla? Trump was in a Cybertruck the other day and thought it was an amazing vehicle. Electric cars are better than gas cars in every single metric (but I will cede only if you can charge it at home). You can realize EVs (at least Tesla) are amazing cars, and not be a left wing nut job. I also have an F-150, several Mercedes, and two airplanes (one a WWII Navy airplane). Hating EVs is just silly.
My concerns before I ever buy an EV are: where to charge it? (I live in a apartment built in the 1970's with no access to electricity in the parkade), & range? (I regularly have to drive 250 kilometers over the Coquihalla Highway [TV's Highway through Hell] which has steep inclines, snow up to 8 months a year, & is frequently shutdown due to accidents so vehicles could be sitting on the highway for hours waiting for traffic). I will drive a gasoline car until these issues are taken care of.
Ice vehicles are one man's greatest inventions They power the world and without them we are back to the dark ages.
Unless you own a tesla, your screwed. Not to mention cold weather states,where you can never get a full charge.And in alot instances never get more than a 100 miles per charge.
About time this and overall costs was realised!!!😮😮😮😮
And like the mugs ,that fell for the clot shots. Bet they have an EV. Buy one get one free.
Well said
Billions were allocated for building out the charging network of 500,000 charging stations. That was a couple of years ago. So far they have installed . . . 8. Not 800 or 8000, EIGHT.
If you live anywhere the temperature gets below 40 degrees F. an EV won't work very well. Batteries loose power in cold temp. & the battery also has to provide heat for the occupants of the vehicle. This greatly reduces mileage.
Harris didn't know what the charge port was on a video I saw. These people should settle for a career in the food service industry.
There is no EV used car market. Once you own one it's on you.
Don't forget some charging stations are being vandalized and what if you can't get to the next charger unlike gas you can't walk to the nearest charging stations and bring back electricity 😮
England has a fleet of diesel powered vans that will come out and charge your battery....and you!
Don't forget fear of the battery catching on fire
I love my gas guzzling Chevrolet pickup! It’s got the power I need to work hard!
Those EV owners have been duped!
If you are in a bad accident and batteries catch on fire ,you're toast.
EV's are a fad that is fading fast.
Waste of money
If it's being pushed by the government, it's almost always a bad idea.
What about the theft of charge plugs (taken for the copper)? Imagine needing a charge when it is -30 F outside with children in the car, you go to recharge (with almost no charge left) and fid the cables to charge are all gone? It can be life threatening.
I’m probably dating myself here, but I long for the simplicity of a vehicle that people could do basic maintenance on without having to max out a credit card to get it repaired. My 1974 Chevy Impala was such a vehicle.
Diesel pick up truck is what I have.❤

Because they realized drinking the cool aid was stupid?
I'm a fan of a gas or diesel generator that charges a battery which powers electric axles. Just my view.
Edison Motors builds kits ❤❤❤❤❤
Hydrogen is the way forward, and it will be interesting to see Musk’s water powered engine - which is further on, than we thought.
How will California charge thousands of EVs if they are restricting electricity use at times
The solution to range anxiety is to make sure you are always going downhill, problem solved!
I read that in the UK that if you home-charge, and an electrical demand is needed in your region, the utilities can pull back the charge from your vehicle to feed the grid and leave you flat. Can you imagine going to your car in the morning to head off to work and there's zero charge after leaving it plugged in all night? Who can say that will never occur here in the USA?
I also read a story where an owner needed to replace his car's batteries and the cost was incredibly high. Turned out his cost per mile was way more than what i spend to run my 7.3L gas pickup.
There are two reasons that people are wanting to switch back to ICE veheciles: (1) The charging infrastructure doesn't exist. (2) People can't really afford to buy EVs, so that makes them salty.
That because the E V owner thought that charging your E V was going to be free , and then they found out that it costing more ?
*Worse for EV truck drivers....*
*The good news is we developed a new electric truck.*

Lol😂😂😂buy an electric cars they said it be fun they said 😂😂😂😋
Im glad to see EVs flop..
I recently had a chance to drive a Tesla owned by my company for a few days, for a trip where I had backup plans in case charging wasn't available. It was fun! If not for the problems described in this video, I would definitely buy one for my personal car.
What I really don't understand is why the environmental activists decided in the last few years that plug-in hybrids aren't good enough, and everyone has to quickly go fully electric. Range extenders, which can drive as electric vehicles when the charge is available but can also run on gasoline when necessary, are the perfect bridge technology. They would create a demand for more charging capacity, while giving automotive engineers the real-world experience needed to design driving by battery power to be better in the real world. They would also allow each of us to see for ourselves how well battery power driving works in our specific situations, without stranding us when charging is unavailable. We could each then decide for ourselves when charging is reliable enough for us that we no longer need the gasoline backup, just like we each decided for ourselves when our cell phone was reliable enough that we no longer needed a landline.
The only electric car I would own would be one of the Priuses of Toyota they were great car had a great battery pack or safe to drive.
7 billion dollars to infrastructure and 7 charging station completed. Did any money really get where it needed to be
The saying "MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS" COMES TO MIND.
VOTE TRUMP AND BUY A V8...
First EVs are only good as a second local commuting 2nd vehicle. My next vehicle is a Hybrid. For range I want 8+ hours of battery life between mandatory charges and 800 Km range up hill dominant. With 15 minute rapid charge back to 100% for another 8+ hour drive. Lastly have a home charger and a solar charger for 25% charging in a Winter’s Day, December 22nd for example. So I can park and be recharged at a Public Charging Station after a Days Solar, especially when I return to the Car on the following morning. Then I will consider EV else Hybrid for now with duel GAS or Electric Charging.
For the Electric Car its self, I want all the operational software to be supported until I scrap, especially if it becomes a Classic. No updates or subscriptions to operate the vehicle and any Entertainment is separate from the operational software with an air gap. For instruments, power, range, speed, temp and life of battery all is part of the Operational Software, and is on the Driver’s Dash board, no touch sensitive to access, all values are present and accounted for, directly in view of the driver’s vision and not a Head’s Up Display or a digital display. Touch Display is for Shot Gun.
The software issue is as great for ICE vehicles, don’t kid yourself. What is needed is a right to repair law for all vehicles.
I believe hybrids are the best
My wife drives an EV and it works for her because we installed a lvl 2 charging port at our house and she uses the vehicle to drive around town. Otherwise many of the limitations noted here are true. She won't go back to an ICE vehicle but we definitely own one in our household for those longer trips to visit our kids.

I just got a 2013 S550, to replace my 2011 DTS that quit, so I went to a Mercedes dealership in the area. A 2024 was $140K, but a 2022 was setting at 80k, with only 30k of miles. That I can afford, none of my gas cars ever dropped that much.
My dad has a Model Y and he has said it’s been his biggest regret. I am fine with EV continuing to evolve and batteries becoming more advanced. I am just not on board with shoving it down our throats.
Every EV owner I know in Australia could not be happier. My EV runs on solar from my own roof 8 months of the year and I save $5K every year on diesel and servicing. Each to their own but don't knock til you've tried it.
I looked at a Tesla years ago. Question number one was what is the single charge range? “That’s pretty low”. I also recall saying “that’s a hard no”.
Ever since there have been more and more reasons not to consider an EV.
I can see it now! A storm is coming, your EV is not fully charged, evacuate in a driving rain, a car fully loaded. screwed. I would go for a hybrid.
This entire video is bunk. I have owned Porsches, Audis, and Lincoln Continental. Compared to them I call my Cadillac Lyriq my Soso car. It’s so quiet, so smooth, so powerful, so smart, and so relaxing when driving in autonomous mode. It was rated at 300 miles per gallon but in warm weather it gets over 350 miles per gallon. A plug converter has been made and is now being distributed to enable it to charge in Tesla chargers. One comment I would made is that electric cars are a good choice for people who own their own home and can have their own charger. For most of us over 95% of our driving is local.when going long distance, you soon learn how to use the available tool kits to plan your trip to avoid any sort of range, anxiety.
