a crash in sales is a big deal. If people aren’t buying EVs in Europe, one of the most eco-conscious regions in the world, that could mean the demand is drying up. Maybe high costs, lack of charging infrastructure, or range anxiety is finally catching up to the market?

You've clearly got issues with EV, so take your time and articulate them. EVs are by no means perfect yet, its your world as much as it is mine, so don't let anti EV rhetoric trigger you. Take some time and write out the issues you have. You may very well have a real issue that needs correcting. New EVs for example are very expensive. Mine on the other hand only £5000 second hand. But initial cost is not affordable. And the Li-ion batteries do make a mess of environment. But now EV fuelled research has discovered, in theory at least, that graphene can be used. So one day soon, the batteries of the future could be made from the carbon captured at power stations.

They're unable to see that whilst it's costing them personally £500+ a year to keep listening to anti EV ideos. It's not a sacrifice the channel owners suffer alongside of them. There's a lot of money in you yube advertising to be made, in keeping viewers constantly triggered. This channel owner isn't one of them however.

Going green was a fatal mistake for Germany. I saw the drastic increase in electricity bills while I was there in 2009 and returned in 2016. They are paying over 3X what people pay for electricity in the US. Russia pays even less for electricity by the way because they didn't go "green" at all.

This is an outstanding comment. EVs are entertainment devices that serve some transportation requirements - they are NOT the solution to climate change or carbon emissions.
Behind your intelligent response is still the residue of net zero religious zealotry which is insane. CO2 is an atmospheric benefit to life on this planet. Europeans are still living in a feudal mentality.

On the second point governments can only create the conditions for better markets by minimizing their involvement in them.
And you can bet a pretty big percentage of those 90k EVs registered were dealers pre registering vehicles in a desperate attempt make it look like people are actually buying these piles of garbage. In the U.K. 2022 registered EVs are now turning up for sale with just 11 miles on the clock. So they’ve been hiding these away and are now trying to dump them at cost. Sadly though, no one is buying them.

Many people claim that these garbage piles for cars are very energy efficient.But to charge a battery, you have to change the electricity from alternating current to direct current, and there up to thirty percent of the electricity is lost to no use at all.
@@We-Do-NOT-Consent-303 that's like easily 400 kg heavier than a fully fuelled fuel tank in most ICE cars, then add in the extra weight high voltage cables have over regular fuel lines and you can see why EVs with any decent range are so ridiculously heavy.

The question we are not asking, “What is really behind this world push to EV”. There is something bigger going on here than what seems obvious. Why else would major companies willingly do self suicide. We have to look deeper.
yes, its to move away from reliance on oil and to send the middle east back to the dark ages. The US has failed with its war machine so they'll just cut out demand. Probably applies for gas in the EU as well. Electricity is a micro market energy source and not reliant on global pricing that gas and oil are subject to.

10 years is optimistic. With what I would consider normal non-commuting use an EV range would fall below acceptable levels long before 10 years. Probably 5 useful years at most before a replacement becomes a matter of necessity. A battery would be too expensive and I doubt there will be much of a 2nd hand market.

I live in Germany and quite a lot of our friends have EVs. But they all have one thing in common. We live in a little village so everyone has off-road parking. Most of them have solar panels on their house roofs. They all charge at home or at work. These from a marketing point of view are the „low hanging fruit“. The rest of the population who live in the towns or in tenements are a completely different nut to crack and cannot use home charging ever. It is amazing how the leaders of industry and politicians are so stupid not to see this. So they have to rely on charging stations which is basically the EV Wild West! Firstly, there aren’t enough of them, they are in the wrong places. But worse still, a friend of mine said that - in Germany - there are about 15 different charging Apps and charging systems. Apart from Tesla, all different. And the price can also be widely different. There is nowhere where you can read the price on the charging point, swipe your card and charge. They are all complicated. So until the government has sorted this mess out, they are wasting their money on any other subsidies!
Governments don't care how much money they waste. They didn't earn it, so they don't care about it. They only care about virtue signaling with how much money they have thrown at a problem. The more money they spend to achieve no definable goal shows how much they "care" so the politicians can keep getting reelected.
Exactly. BEVs are a fine choice… IF you tick all the right boxes. - your own landed property for homecharging - a widespread n robust public infrastructure for longhaul travel - a second ICE car (pure or hybrid) for those occasional cases. Ur in a tight pickle if even one of these boxes isnt checked. And the ability to tick all these boxes means u are one rich mofo living in a very rich n stable nation, relative to the rest of the planet. And solar panels is a bonus.
I can only speak of the UK, but if you live in a place without the facility for charging then electric vehicles make no sense at all. The public charging network is a disgrace and shows no sign of improving. Think of the millions of homes that cannot charge a car, for example, terraces, flats and anywhere without an off road driveway.
It all goes back to common sense and reality.When petrol cars first came out it was the same argument.However in time they became popular and the supply network grew to accommodate them ALL without hand outs and rebates.
The reason EV sales in the UK are as high as reported is that manufacturers are pre registering vehicle's on a massive scale then selling them at tens of thousands of pounds cheaper than a "new" vehicle, this can't continue for long before the bubble bursts and manufacturers go bankrupt.
There is NO way I could travel two and a half hours plus to my job sight. Spend an hour there and return home in the day. I would have to stop overnight to recharge. Plus I tow a caravan for recreational purposes. That in its self is a disaster.
There are many EVs with well over 300 miles range these days. Well within your round trip. Or 6 hours at an average 50mph. And they charge fast too. A ten minute stop can load an extra 100 miles as you nip into a service centre for a pee. You are remembering the early days of EVs and not updating your knowledge base.
@@Hitstirrer This summer I drove 1000km with one stop to pee at Ikea, but never had to fill up my petrol, and this in a normal ice gasolin car. I was going like 120-130 most of this trip :) drive thru, eat in the car. I do not have time to stop to recharge
Just when vehicle manufacturers had gotten the formula correct, even with diesels, Governments have thrown a spanner into the works and destroyed 100 years of impressive progress.
Problem with stinkers is they are so hi tech and stangled they use 25% more fuel and cost 50% more to service. And yes they were stinking filthy things and probably still are.
There are several parking garages banning all EV's from entering their parking areas because of the very real potential danger these vehicles pose to buildings and the public.
Locally here in UK we have been seeing EVs on council estates because of UK disability scheme. People can only charge these EVs at local shopping centres and the people who drive them need another car to pick them up when car is left overnight charging and same to go back and pick it up. They can't charge at home because often they only have on street parking. Also the disability scheme is basically refusing to supply them with ICE cars.
Toyota has produced a report saying that the amount of rare earths in a full EV would allow for the construction of 6 PHEVs or 98 standard hybrids. The number of new mines required to produce said minerals and the energy needed for them and subsequent processing makes the total emissions chargeable to full EVs over their respective lifetimes 38 times that of hybrids.
And now we learn that if somebody tampers with a device with a lithium battery in it, ( pagers / walkie talkies ) the battery can superheat and kill you at the press of a remote button. Just imagine the explosion with a 60 to 90 kwhr battery going off in such a manner, as in an EV.
Impossible to achieve. People can barely pay bills, rents and put food on the table, yet they expect them to buy brand new electric shitboxes? Maybe if they start giving unsold cars away for free.
The government's market force can indeed stop all ICE cars and replace them all with EV's. But the voters election force can replace all these governments. Each could happen. What will?
The only reason any are sold in the uk is fleet sales,council fleet zealots and forcing them on motability users who get benefit cars from the government,house of cards built on sand😂😂😂😂.
@@mguytv pressuring vulnerable and disabled people into getting EVs by telling them ice cars have long waiting lists,imagine having mobility problems and having to manhandle one of those charging cables ,despicable rats.
It's not just that thousands of people will be directly laid off, but associated suppliers of materials and components will also have to let go of some employees, if not even close shop for good.
How can they work out CO2 emissions for an EV. If that power is coming from coal fired power station it's likely to be more than a petrol or diesel. EVs simply export their emissions they are NOT zero emission vehicles.
Isn't it great when the voters ignore what their governments want. We must know best looking at the state of the EV market. I for one are proud we say NO to our governments
Quite right to point out the fact that it was the early-adopters, the hipsters and the climate panickers who fueled to initial sales boom. Now they've all bought them, it's down to ordinary drivers to buy them and guess what - we are NOT impressed. Great for buzzing round the city (especially if you can charge at home) but not good for long trips and certainly no good if you don't have a drive or garage. This is what you get for trying to force the issue.
And then Danish people will have to rent a ICE car if they need to go in holidays somewhere outside their small country. Something they wouldn't have to bother doing if they had a ICE car in the first place.
Most of the co2 in youre exhaust comes from the air used to burned the fuel. For example 1ltr will needs 14.7 kg of air (roughly). Also while visiting la Rochelle. I notice 0 zero ev charging points around the town. Nor would you want an ev fire in such narrow streets
All wrong. A total lack of chemistry knowledge. There are 8 EV charge stations in the inner city of La Rochelle and 46 more in the outskirts. And petrol cars catch fire around 40 times more, pro rata the fleet numbers, so you should be more afraid of those.
I was planning to EV for years in US, but as time went on I realized what a bunch of hype it was, so last April I bought my first hybrid 24 Corolla Cross SE AWD. Couldn't be happier. Local hyper miling, 2/3-3/4 mileage I get 85+MPG 65-70%EV @2k/mi engine run time between oil changes.
They probably sell those cars with a loss. When the car goes down in price mean they have too many in stock, and they have todo something to get rid of them.
Governments in America and the EU threw away tax money on subsidies, ruining the EV market only about 30 percent of buyers are in a urban area with charging available to consider using these vehicles...
EVs are wonderful IF: -- 1] you live, work and commute inside the city limits. 2] you have a second, ICE vehicle for longer trips, towing & work. 3] you have access to off street parking for charging. (I wouldn't want to charge a potentially lethal bomb inside an attached garage.) 4] if, there's adequately trained and accessible service centers located in the same city.
The cost of a mad nut-zero drive by prime minister Scholtz imposing unsustainable energy costs on manufacturing was disastrous too. The Labour Party in the UK is following the same way…😡😡😡
I only needed to find out a few basic facts about EVs to know that this was all going to end in tears. the most important one being that I assumed that it would start at the very bottom of the market and the batteries would be hired and exchanged at the station. It never occurred to me that they would be so expensive or that the batteries would be part of the car itself. This was never going to work, and may not have worked anyway. This is before we come on to the other many issues that have been glossed over as if unaccountably turning into a portable crematorium if not even worth a consideration. The truth is that nothing like it should be allowed anywhere near our public roads until such an event becomes less likely than being hit by lightning on a calm cloudless day. Which begs the question, what were these idiots in the industry and in government thing? Were they thinking at all? Battery powered cars are not even a new idea. It was abandoned back then for very similar reasons that it should have remained so. Milk floats seemed like a good idea at the time, but were in practice an absolute disaster. One can't help in thinking that maybe they aren't stupid at all, just extremely evil. If the plan was to destroy most of the worlds car industry and along with it most of the entire worlds private transport then EVs will turn out to be highly successful in achieving what they were set out to do. In the future if you want to go any further then to your local park or corner shop, you will either have to hire your means of transport or buy a ticket.

@@nickgood8166 I don't think you meant to ceed his point here. But you just did. As, ordinarily at least, people resort to sarcasm and name calling when they've run out of arguments to support the position they wish was true. In this case you've not even begun the discussion. You've clearly got issues with EV, so take your time and articulate them. EVs are by no means perfect yet, its your world as much as it is mine, so don't let anti EV rhetoric trigger you. Take some time and write out the issues you have. You may very well have a real issue that needs correcting. New EVs for example are very expensive. Mine on the other hand only £5000 second hand. But initial cost is not affordable. And the Li-ion batteries do make a mess of environment. But now EV fuelled research has discovered, in theory at least, that graphene can be used. So one day soon, the batteries of the future could be made from the carbon captured at power stations.
My friend, please don't let anti EV rhetoric force you into a corner where you loose out on all the savings to be had. Do yourself a massive favour. Sit down with a spread sheet, and do the maths. Using the real numbers for yourself, not the ridiculous 120,000 miles per year scenario. If you're not mathematically inclined then send me the numbers. I'm a former nuclear physicist/programmer for the Atomic Energy Authority in the UK. I became chronically ill over a decade ago now. So I'll happily do the maths. It might well be that EVs won't work for you personally. But I'm currently unable to work, can barely walk any distance etc. So, saving someone else money would be a break from my own situation. So please, do yourself a favour and do the maths, don't loose out because triggering anti EV rhetoric made you emotional.
Stay well
@@dps615 GOOD POINT!!! This is the problem though. Anti EV rhetoric is designed to triggering people into emotional reactions. It works for the channel owners very well. By constantly triggering their viewerships, they ensure they keep coming back for reassurance they're making the right decision, for another fix of EV doubting. They're unable to see that whilst it's costing them personally £500+ a year to keep listening to anti EV ideos. It's not a sacrifice the channel owners suffer alongside of them. There's a lot of money in you yube advertising to be made, in keeping viewers constantly triggered. This channel owner isn't one of them however.

I live in Germany and quite a lot of our friends have EVs. But they all have one thing in common. We live in a little village so everyone has off-road parking. Most of them have solar panels on their house roofs. They all charge at home or at work. These from a marketing point of view are the „low hanging fruit“. The rest of the population who live in the towns or in tenements are a completely different nut to crack and cannot use home charging ever. It is amazing how the leaders of industry and politicians are so stupid not to see this. So they have to rely on charging stations which is basically the EV Wild West! Firstly, there aren’t enough of them, they are in the wrong places. But worse still, a friend of mine said that - in Germany - there are about 15 different charging Apps and charging systems. Apart from Tesla, all different. And the price can also be widely different. There is nowhere where you can read the price on the charging point, swipe your card and charge. They are all complicated. So until the government has sorted this mess out, they are wasting their money on any other subsidies!
Governments don't care how much money they waste. They didn't earn it, so they don't care about it. They only care about virtue signaling with how much money they have thrown at a problem. The more money they spend to achieve no definable goal shows how much they "care" so the politicians can keep getting reelected.
Exactly.
BEVs are a fine choice… IF you tick all the right boxes.
- your own landed property for homecharging
- a widespread n robust public infrastructure for longhaul travel
- a second ICE car (pure or hybrid) for those occasional cases.
Ur in a tight pickle if even one of these boxes isnt checked. And the ability to tick all these boxes means u are one rich mofo living in a very rich n stable nation, relative to the rest of the planet.
And solar panels is a bonus.
I can only speak of the UK, but if you live in a place without the facility for charging then electric vehicles make no sense at all. The public charging network is a disgrace and shows no sign of improving. Think of the millions of homes that cannot charge a car, for example, terraces, flats and anywhere without an off road driveway.
It all goes back to common sense and reality.When petrol cars first came out it was the same argument.However in time they became popular and the supply network grew to accommodate them ALL without hand outs and rebates.
You can fast charge it at a charging station - and pay 20 per cent VAT on the price for the privilege.

Toyota has produced a report saying that the amount of rare earths in a full EV would allow for the construction of 6 PHEVs or 98 standard hybrids.

(I wouldn't want to charge a potentially lethal bomb inside an attached garage.) 4] if, there's adequately trained and accessible service centers located in the same city.
VW already has two empty factories! I'd say they have already closed two factories.
Where are all of the unsold vehicles being stored? What will they do with all the scrap?
Left to rot because it's cheaper that way than to invest again in their recycling. That's how it is in China.
Politicians really have yet again made a total cock up of things.
The cost of a mad nut-zero drive by prime minister Scholtz imposing unsustainable energy costs on manufacturing was disastrous too. The Labour Party in the UK is following the same way…😡😡😡
I am very glad to listen to "your ideas". Have y heard about about the Chinese market?
EU told car manufacturers are going bankrupt! EU response? Job done! Davos will be happy.
Keep bring on the good news 🙂
I only needed to find out a few basic facts about EVs to know that this was all going to end in tears. the most important one being that I assumed that it would start at the very bottom of the market and the batteries would be hired and exchanged at the station. It never occurred to me that they would be so expensive or that the batteries would be part of the car itself. This was never going to work, and may not have worked anyway. This is before we come on to the other many issues that have been glossed over as if unaccountably turning into a portable crematorium if not even worth a consideration. The truth is that nothing like it should be allowed anywhere near our public roads until such an event becomes less likely than being hit by lightning on a calm cloudless day.
Which begs the question, what were these idiots in the industry and in government thing? Were they thinking at all? Battery powered cars are not even a new idea. It was abandoned back then for very similar reasons that it should have remained so. Milk floats seemed like a good idea at the time, but were in practice an absolute disaster.
One can't help in thinking that maybe they aren't stupid at all, just extremely evil. If the plan was to destroy most of the worlds car industry and along with it most of the entire worlds private transport then EVs will turn out to be highly successful in achieving what they were set out to do. In the future if you want to go any further then to your local park or corner shop, you will either have to hire your means of transport or buy a ticket.
Being the EV is a giant computer on wheels, how would an owner of an EV avoid being hacked by the modern day 21st century hacker, or government etc?
Offer EV cars, sure, but don't mandate them. Let the consumers decide.
Yes. Also drop the tariffs on foreign made cars.
