With all that we now know about the deficiencies of EVs, I get really sick of all the plush TV commercials advertising the things and how wonderful they are !
They’re desperate to sell some so are spending millions on some fake utopia adverts.
If ev's were so good there would be no need for coercive measures
Get ready to queue for 10 years to get a Trabant, save up 10 years to buy a Lada, or work hard to keep your old car moving for 50 years with backyard workshop tinkering. Socialism *_will_* lead to the same results as it always does.
My friends who are friends with (or married to) politicians made their (tens of) millions from the EV scheme already.
Fossil car prices don't contain the costs of damages the car emissions create.
America is to blame.
Cast your mind back to the diesel engine scan.
Fining German car manufacturers with BILLIONS OF FINING.

Something bigger is afoot.
Kier starmer gave 2 billion to carbon dioxide recapture and pumping underground. Despite the UK being in a 22 financial black hole
@@pistonburner6448 you've got it. this is exactly what is being inflicted upon the west.
@@gerbre1 1. There is no such thing as a 'fossil car'. All ICE cars can be run on countless different fuels. My family members have been driving on NEXBTL biodiesel for nearly a decade, with the price only a few cents per litre more than normal diesel...all while paying huge amounts of taxes (the manufacturer pays huge taxes on its profits too) and not requiring subsidies or tax breaks.
2. ICE cars are already cleaner than EVs when run on fossil fuels, and when you increase the percentage of 'sustainable' fuel into the mix they become *_vastly_* cleaner than EVs could ever hope to be.
3. ICE cars are not only massively cheaper overall, but their sales and use produces incredible amounts of tax revenue. Evs are the opposite: require trillions in tax money for the hundreds of different kinds of subsidies, tax breaks, and infrastructure works...while benefitting nobody and bankrupting society. Bankrupt societies can no longer invest in effective environmental projects.
I get the sneaking suspicion that the ultimate goal is to take all of our cars away.
so do I!
Bingo . Restricting Freedom of movement is the Goal. Why are they pushing 15 min cities that restrict the use of cars and freedom of movement ?
Bingo.
@@winstonsmith7801 thumbs up. Your user-name shows why you know what the agenda is.

Must admit the ‘system’ is clever…they’ve managed it convince a carbon based life form that carbon the problem. Some people really are thick
Isn't it stupid how they refer to carbon dioxide as carbon. No one ever refers to water as hydrogen.
“CO2 for different people has different attractions. After all, what is it? - it’s not a pollutant, it’s a product of every living creature’s breathing, it’s the product of all plant respiration, it is essential for plant life and photosynthesis, it’s a product of all industrial burning, it’s a product of driving ‚ I mean, if you ever wanted a leverage point to control everything from exhalation to driving, this would be a dream. So it has a kind of fundamental attractiveness to bureaucratic mentality.” - Richard S. Lindzen, Ph.D. Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not pollution and Global Warming has nothing to do with pollution. The average man, woman and child has been misled and is confused about what the current Global Warming debate is about, greenhouse gases. None of which has anything to do with air pollution. People are confusing Smog, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Pollution is already regulated under the Clean Air Act and regulating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will do absolutely nothing to make the air you breath “cleaner”. Regulating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions through either ‘Carbon Taxes’, ‘Cap and Trade’ or the EPA will cause energy prices _[electricity, gasoline, diesel fuel, propane, heating oil etc...]_ to skyrocket.
Almost every school kid believes it now, even the smarter ones.
@@onemoremisfit Then they aren't too smart are they, lmao...
*Carbon dioxide.
It's time the European car makers bought themselves some politicians. The UK's Labour party can certainly be bought.
Honestly, why aren't European car manufacturers doing this? I thought western companies really love to do some good ol' “lobbying” 🤷
That's what got us into this nightmare situation. Many European Manufacturers have been researching and producing limited EVs for many years in the belief Fossil Fuels will run out eventually. It was costing them big money for no worthwhile return, so they got into EU politicians ears about subsidising small EVs. Unfortunately for them the EU politicians took this idea and started running full pelt into this insanity.
Don't feel sorry for that manufacturers as they unintentionally started this crap.
Cold weather, snow drifts, heater at maximum, 30 minute defrost, minus 26 DC, high gradients covered in an inch of ice.. these cars would be insane in the Highlands of Scotland
There insane in hot weather. There’s a car manufacturer out there that actually has a range toggle on their website. You can adjust it for city or country driving and temperature. Even in 30-35 degree temperatures (such as Australia) and doing country driving your range drops drastically as well.
Says a guy who has probably never owned or driven one. An Ev loves hills, plenty of torque and regen on the way down to recharge the battery.
@@dps615. So in denial of manufacturers, insurers and other owners now? Got to love it.
And insane in Norway.
👍👍
10 years ago, I bought a Subaru Liberty for $40,000 and earlier this year disposed of it for $15,000. That's $25,000 in depreciation over 10 years or $2,500 per year.
If I purchase a new EV for, say,$60,000 and if it's worth, say, $5,000 after 10 years, that's $55,000 in depreciation or $5,500 per year.
The extra $3,000 per year would be more than the excess of petrol costs over electricity costs. Not to mention the inconvenience, fire risk, higher insurance and tyre costs, anxiety, etc.
I thought long and hard about buying an EV. For about five seconds!
Would the battery actually last 10years ?
Wait until you see your upcoming tax bill, rising up massively because of the countless huge EV subsidies, tax breaks, and lost tax revenue as car manufacturers no longer make profits and people no longer pay tax on their cars...
@@pistonburner6448 👍👍
How dare you lost 5 seconds of your life?

If EV's are so good, why don't all our politicians drive them??
Ah!
A case of don’t do as I do, do as I say.
I really have NO sympathy. Where does the 500 come in with the EV version? 500 miles until the battery konks out? So funny to see the whole NZ agenda collapsing.
I had a succession of diesels, was happy with the performance and the economy. So when it came time to replace it, I naturally considered another diesel (at the time we already had an EV in the family for short trips so it had to be an ICE). Hybrids hadn’t really developed at this time so I started researching what I would buy. More and more I found that I would be demonised and punished if I bought another diesel so I felt pushed towards petrol which is what I ended up buying.
And how did this help the environment - well rather than buy a 120g/km diesel, I ended up with a 192g/km petrol - well done UK Government, you played yourself.
Car makers... WHY PAY a fine imposed by the IDIOTS who have created this mess,,, The car industry needs to collectively GET together and tell the GVT'S to ,,, GET LOST,, because what can they do?// NOTHING.
There was an article in the Herald-Sun (Melbourne) today about EV public charging and the high cost of using rapid chargers is often higher than filling up an equivalent petrol cars.
Reflect on some of these news stories folks and the usual trolls that keep coming in here week after week to tell us these are not true. Such as weather affecting range, insurance is not expensive, sales haven’t gone down (they’ll even ignore manufacturers claims themselves).
If these EV-disciples are doing their preaching for free...it's explains why are a mass of imbecile.
They're like the woke left media in the US, constantly telling us that Kamala Harris is way ahead of Trump in the polls.
But we all know it's a blatant lie.
I'm fairly sure that humanity was climate neutral before the last ice age
True that 👍 I'm surprised that your comment hasn't been removed from RUclips yet!
Since around 2008 i learned about the absolute profound colossal fraud of so called "AGW"/"Anthropogenic Global Warming" which was changed to "Climate Change" arguably around a decade ago when IPCC emails were hacked and released/shown to the world how the "climate scientists' DELIBERATELY WERE SERIOUSLY MANIPULATING THE DATA TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THERE WAS "MAN-CAUSED-GLOBAL-WARMING' AKA "AGW" hence the change or the term to "Climate Change" since the term "global warming" was now exposed. One of the most accurate, honest factual operational science documentaries on this subject i saw years ago, that ***you must watch***, it's called ***"The Great Global Warming Swindle"*** on the "Wisdomland" channel.
I actually have a colleague who is really pleased with his EV. He bought used Tesla model 3, I think 3 years ago, and sold his diesel Mercedes. He pretty much only drives to and home from work, 40 km one way, and he owns detached house with own yard and stuff, so he can recharge at home easily. The Merc had constant problems with clogging DPF because he drove so little on the highway car couldn't regenerate the filter. For longer road trips they use his wife's petrol Toyota. So EVs can work 1) if you have to use car for daily short trips and 2) have ability to charge it home (and have a proper car as a backup for longer trips). Not a poor mans game, this EV nonsense is.
You sound very convincing…I will keep my v6 Mercedes diesel SUV for little longer then and the money I would lose on depreciation on a new EV I will use to service the diesel car..won’t have to worry about charging or range anxiety….as someone else wrote, if EVs were the tech breakthrough, there would be no need for global coercive measures…I see governments heavily subsidising EVs and at the same time making extremely expensive to own an ICE or even soon banning them…the tail-tale is there…EVs are a big con…

Yes an EV could suit the missus like that while I have the diesel fourby for towing and any long trips. Tried her out test driving the Atto3 but it was all too confusing. So stuck a deposit on for Corolla Cross hybrid with 12 months wait as I don't want these computers on wheels outside of warranty and it's all about depreciation with appliances nowadays.
So sick and tired of the heavy censorship of my comments and replies.
Yeah, EVs are basically road legal shopping carts, great for people who mainly do short distance driving and have a ton of spare time on their hands.
Hahahahaha. The clip at the end about the cyber truck was hilarious!
EV's, .....the gift that keeps on giving !
Like herpes.
Manchester bus drivers have had their safety boots replaced with safety trainers, to allow a faster escape.
Thank you for bringing us the truth in great style! 👏👍😊
The world has gone mad I’m glad I’m nearly dead 😂
Then become John 3:1-21 qualified, or else your eternity will be inescapably ineffably hot.
Apart from the fact that we paid many subsidies for these EV Muppets, we'll never see any benefit from these huge EV "investments"
I feel really sorry for😩😏 the people that took taxpayers money & now want to bail from the delusion
I feel even more sorry for the tax payer. We work hard and see our money chucked down the drain on badly assessed government halo polishing projects
excellent commentary
There is an excellent video from 'China Observer' on RUclips. It shows the experiences the Chinese people had with their EVs during their one week national holidays. It was hell on earth!😅
So who exactly are they going to arrest if the car companies refuse to pay the fines?
Car companies need to get together and form their own WEF/OPEC like cartel and tell governments to GET STUFFED
Ironically pricing increases for charging stations especially fast charging more expensive than petrol
Yes saw that story in this mornings (Sunday) Aussie papers.
@@xr6lad if I were buying a near new car, I'd go fro a hybrid NOT plugin-hybrid.
Don't forget , they will be charging you taxes for every km you travel as you don't pay for petrol which has inbuilt taxes.
@@Ram8as 👍👍
A good way to judge something to be a good choice or not is if the government has to push it, it is 9 out of 10 not good for you!! My grandpa told me this 60 years ago and hasn't failed me yet, including the cov nineteen scam!!
Even the cyber truck loves the smell of diesel in the morning 😂😂
I was being shown a new EV by its owner who wanted to show me how great it was. They were demonstrating all of the inboard tech and when they turned on the climate control, the range indicator immediately lost 40 miles.
I remarked that the sound system was good and that'd be the feature that I'd enjoy most and they said you have to be sparing playing the music system because it has a noticeable impact on range too?
I guess at £52K, this doesn't get you far with an EV??? At least they were only leasing it.
threaten to stop making ice cars and lay everyone off see how long it takes for the governments to cave
I'm looking forward to a Le Mans EV 24 hour race. Imagine 2 hours of driving followed by an hour recharging in the pits whilst the Drivers drink coffee, read the papers and work out strategy e.g. drive without your headlights on. Thrilling.
The battery only needs to last 15-20 cycles until the end of the race. So recharging can be done at 1MW.
I'm in Brisbane, and the new EV bus is on my route, so I sit right near the emergency exit point. I just need to add that my Brisbane bus run snakes around Brisbane River, which means it's a flooding zone.
I have a little tool - the 'ResQMe' costs about £7 and smashes windows really quick - just make sure the thing is flat on the glass and bang, gone with hardly any effort. Best and smallest effective one I have found. Now thinking of carrying one on my house keys as well as car keys............
@@suecharnock9369 I know of this tool, I carry my own. It's always wise to be prepared 👍

Excellant as always , TOP MAN !
There are times when pointing and laughing are the appropriate response! EVs are surely one of them! 🙂👍
'Other comparison sites are available!' 😅 Keep up the good work.😊
The losses on EVs are already driving up costs on ICE vehicles AND INSURANCE

I still think of the times following the original ev’s early in the morning trying to get to work and they were doing less than 5mph who else remember the good old milk floats
Great video. The Jaguar i-pace story nails the mindset of ignorant customers buying😢their first ev. How in the world can we as customers make an informed purchasing decision requiring encyclopedic knowledge of evs? We are indeed being scammed. The evolutionary😢disadvantaged 😢cyberjunk was brilliant!
I asked for a cigarette lighter in my Tesla and their heads exploded. 😮
I had a look at sales figures in Australia for each EV in September just gone.........only the Tesla model Y and model S (is it?) Sold more than about 300 each. If that's typical for their monthly volume, then it's pretty woeful. In their prime, Commodore, Falcon and Magna easily cleared about 4000 each.
People just don't want these things.
Currently, Hilux, Ranger and RAV4 hybrid sell about 3 or 4 thousand per month by comparison.
Mind you, there's lots of individual EV models on the market now vying for a slice of our rather small pie, but petrol and hybrid vehicles are quite clearly what people aspire to.
Perth Transperth are going to gradually replace all their diesel buses with electric buses in the Perth CBD.
Every time I walk past a Tesla, I always wave & smile because of all the cameras these cars have & because I am not conned into buying one & I don’t have a driver’s license anymore since I have retired.😂 Thanks for Sharing the review news on these EVs MGuy.
What’s happening in the UK regarding insurance, is that the insurers don’t feel they pass on the full liability to EV owners so are spreading it across all cars. So what we are seeing is massive hikes in the cost of insuring petrol and diesel cars to cover the increased risks associated with EV cars.
Fines on Auto makers is just a NEW TAX ON CITIZENS ... who do you think will be paying the extra cost of ALL cars due to the fimes?
They will all go to the wall. People will just buy secondhand ices. Admittedly they will go up in value.
@@johannabarry4672 ... because the vast majority say nothing while the vocal few virtue signal by promoting unachievable net zero
Laughing Out Loud
That first story reminds me of me when I’m on my e-bike
It hasn’t gotten really cold, yet I’ve already lost 8 miles per battery. And I pedal everywhere.
wierd, since people claim ice cars catch fire every day, ICE cars insurance should be way higher than those EV's who never even get hot.
Chance of fire will already be built into each car model by the insurance companies.
Some ICE models will be more than expensive than other ICE due to their relative proclivity to burn.
Same goes for EV, hybrid etc.
Many thanks for your terrific reports.
Having gotten an ICE car to travel about ten miles on a completely empty tank (it had a hole in it) I can say with experience that he was doing it wrong! If you're in a hilly area the last thing you want is to grind to a halt at the bottom of a hill, you want all the kinetic energy possible to get you up the next hill.
Regenerative braking only returns a fraction of the energy available to the batteries. He would have had more range if he just used the regen to keep from being executed by the rozzers.
In my ten mile trip I didn't pay much attention to the speedo but fortunately or unfortunately I was brought to a standstill by a Red light at an intersection I needed to turn at at the very bottom of the last hill with a rozzer waiting to go through the intersection coming the opposite way.
He nicely gave me a lift to get fuel just a 1/4 mile up the hill.
I agree, he was going about it all wrong thinking he was getting free energy from regen when all that does is make braking a little less wasteful and nothing more. The best strategy would be basically the same as any other car, accelerate as easy as possible, select the most efficient speed and keep it steady as possible.
One of the cars in my stable is a 2008 BMW Z4. We took it in for it’s service and the courtesy car they provided us with was an i3. What a revolting, steaming pile of (use your imagination) that hateful thing is.
In the states, EVs will also have to pay 30 cents per mile - and you know that will go up - so they pay their fair share for road maintenance because the government isn't getting enough money from gas and diesel for this venture. I my city is waiting for our roads to breakup and become gravel roads b4 laying down new asphalt. Meanwhile, both petrol and EVs have to buy tires way too soon which means more waste to get rid of. Sorry, my family purchased a fossil fuel car this time around again in the hopes the EV madness will go to a counselor to become sane again.
Have you ever noticed this. They will take a computer program or app, etc. They will get it to a point that is amazing. Then. They none stop mess with it. Change it, etc. To the point you hate it and don't want anything to do with it. Being born in 1970. In the 80s, I couldn't wait for technology. Now. I just about had enough. Now, I find ways to get away from it. A computer today. Brand new. Is no different than the first ones. I started out on the Apple 2E. Junk, then. Junk today. I will never buy another computer. Thanks.
Here in Brazil I heard that they are going to impose high import taxes on electric cars starting next year. BYD, which has already sold several and imported thousands and stockpiled them, is going to be screwed!! 😂😂😂😂
The more I hear, the less interested I am in EVs. They are not a solution.
JuiceBox, why am I hearing the Steve Millar Band. "Take the Money and Run"
We used to have electric buses, trolley buses that were safe and didn't have a propensity to go up in flames.
This just proves government is too big, too expensive and doesn't represent us the voter.
I live in the neighborhood of that hydrogen-rail - they indeed are a catastrophe - perceived only half of the train connections are on time (or available)
I plan driving around my needs. I dictate what the car does, not the other way around.
When I worked at GM 10 years ago, we had a saying about engineering EV's:
"Speed. Range. Comfort. Pick one."
3:27 - And since EV's are all connected, monitored and reported back to the mothership, the data from all that stomping on the brakes was sold to his insurance company and they raised his rates for being a "reckless driver!" LOL
You won't need garages in the future because no one will park their EV in one.

I can see many vehicle manufacturers closing the business down.
I was surprised that the insurance for EV's is only 50% greater, they (as usual) must be sticking it to real car owners (us) to cover the rest. Loved the Attenborough spoof, very funny, Thanks.
With the upcoming winter season in the UK and Scotland, can somebody do a comparison between a petrol and EV vehicle in extreme winter conditions?
Oh, each car have to stand for two nights outside without any heating outaide before the test.
All i can say isi think i will end up with a donkey cart and will be the poorest of the poor because of this insanity
Thanks Mguy, EVs are a great piece of technology and engineering but are completely impractical as you have shown us and the world time and time again.
When are people going to stop and get off this net zero mandate? It's not working, it causing more harm than good, that is not a good thing.
Concentrate on burning petrol and diesel more cleanly is the way forward.
Great work bro, keep it up, make them listen 👊

Hi just a quick note , here in the U.K I drive a E 250 saloon (really love it) anyway as E.V,s (Tesla,s in-particular) seem to see my car as something to show off to. This results in some outrageously high speed driving in 40 MPH zones through built up areas with no respect to the people living there. On one occasion a lady accelerated her Tesla so hard that smoke started pouring from the rear nearside of the car. I was puzzled at 1st till I realised it was her rear nearside tyre burning rubber big style. This seemed to slow her progress somewhat but she for a short while did not realise what was slowing her down, I supposed that the tyre suffered a bit! I never provoke these people ,I am aware of the acceleration figures for large E.Vs but it goes to show a driver not used to driving such a powerful car can really become at times lethal on our highways, to themselves and others. Drivers who build up their driving skills as they move up the ladder from low powered cars to faster more sophisticated cars, do so on a long learning curve. Stepping out of a family saloon into a 300 H.P E.V from observations seem on public highways is a little challenging for many, (dread to see them on a slippery road) My 1St car was a 1959 Vauxhall , progressed through many vehicles and did same on my motorbikes . Never hurt anyone but always learned mile by mile, car by car , motorbike by motorbike the skills it takes for us all to enjoy and stay alive as we learn journey by journey etc. Anyway just an observation on a constantly evolving (devolving) life on 2 and 4 wheels.
Excellent comment. 👍
More references to Malcolm Tucker welcome, he has a way of perfectly summing up the whole EV religion! Love your content, keep telling the truth!
As a kid i loved working on mechanical things with my hands.the smell of grease.the noise an engine makes.i became a mechanic to fix cars.not to be an electrition.its true.most auto mechanics i know and work with dont want to work on evs.they are a joke.
Car company leaders get some balls and tell the government to go ------- yourselves. Pick your own words
EV's cost a lot more to buy, more expensive to insure, go through tyres faster, public charging is often as expensive if not more so than petrol, you ideally need to pay for a home charger and if you really want to go 'off grid', pay for solar too. Tell me how it's cheaper to run an EV exactly?
In the summer i noticed many ev cars had their windows pulled down. To save ac power obviously.
New anxiety fest of the EV MAKERS. What do we do with the millions of unsold NON RECYCLABLE CARS.. 😂😂😂
I have a TV remote, that takes 2 AA batteries, and drives me insane charging them.
Myguy is in the sunny state of Queensland.
There is no record of a BEV fire *ever* occuring in this state.
Constantly fretting about what mileage you have left, turning off heating, radio and anything else that might just get you home is hardly the stress free motoring shown in the ads for EVs. Constantly braking when going downhill to eke out regen watts must have been bløødy annoying for any cars behind. Also, how many accidents will be caused by EV drivers being so distracted all the time - driving with ‘undue care and attention’?
Actually there are people who love their EVs. Sometimes I watch channels that praise them and when I skim through the comments many say: I will never go back to combustion. I'm quite sure they all own a house and a proper charger.
They only thing they complain about here in Germany is the charging in the wild. While it seems to be unproblematic for the most part these charging stations belong to companies whose goal it is to outdo the competition. They want the customer to buy a monthly subscription and that way charge for lower prices by using a card or an App. If you are dumb enough to charge at a different company you face double the price. So any journey has to be planned meticulously around those chargers to stay in an acceptable price range.
Nicely done. Cheers 😅
Surely motor manufacturers have the power to lobby governments?
Why haven't EV's got windmills on top so they can generate as they drive? Or, how about pedals inside, so passengers can run generators?
My ice uses Kinetic and Potential Energy 100% efficient no heat loss ,
Coasting downhill refers to the act of allowing a vehicle to descend a slope or incline without engaging the engine or using the transmission to slow it down. Instead, the vehicle relies solely on its momentum and gravity to control its speed.
"Watts in the battery" someone skipped physics classes :))))))
The 'plan' is arriving in the wrong order.
Well
Less than 50% of car owners can afford cars that cost two or three years basic wage most people spend up to one years wage paid over 5 years
So they don’t want cars for regular people
11:48 "Aren't trains electric already?".
No, not all trains are. Especially in mountainous regions like the German Taunus trains on because the terrain is difficult to install an electric network to power electric trains. Hence the effort to try and replace them with hydrogen powered trains.
Gary Numan’s ‘Tubeway Army’ sang ‘Are Friends Electric’ in 1979.
Maybe that is the EV owners favourite song?
Hi Simon, is it me, or is this mad dash to "net zero" getting exponentially more unbelievable every day?
That's the most interesting thing I've ever heard David Attenborough say in along time (AI or not).

What’s gonna happen when the hammer comes down on petrol engine car sales being outlawed due to reduced emission standards? The government is giving people no choice but to buy second hand petrol vehicles in future unless you buy an EV even though you didn’t want to?
Hi EmGai, I wouldn’t touch one of these EV barge poles with a ten foot abomination.
Or go for the "Pineapple"
the hydrogen trains - the reason why they bothered was to really drain the economy of that country and funnel the funds
The point is to make it impossible for us to have a car. Or any means of transport further than the 15 min cities they are building for us. That is the true goal. And they are succeeding
