The EV depreciation rate is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! There isn’t sufficient infrastructure to accommodate the demand, especially for those living in rural or remote area’s. In addition to those living in condos, apartments etc. The Canadian and American Federal Government’s aren’t handing any of the situation around EV technology properly, as usual. As you said Mark, pro’s and con’s to it both ways. Thank you for preparing another outstanding video, take care, cheers!
i'd be concerned about parking an EV in my garage. you see that video out of China where a guy brought a battery from his EV bike into an elevator, and it burst into flames killing the poor guy.
They say it takes over 10,000 gallons of water to extinguish an electric vehicle. Fire departments will often let the car burn itself out, because water doesn't do much at all. They will put the fire out and the battery will burst into flames again and again.
My 2017 Chevy Volt was a great buy as a lease return back in 2019. 25% of my driving is with gas, and the other 75% is pure electric mostly due to free charging at work. The extended warranty came in handy to replace all 4 door locks and the shifter button. The battery warranty also switched out 1 module for free that went bad. For people who can charge at home, it is still a lot cheaper to charge than to pay for gas. I would imagine that insurance is also cheaper on a plug in hybrid than on a fully electric vehicle. I’m at 120,000 total miles: The gas generator has about 26,000 miles on it. It had 34,000 miles on it when purchased. My average mpg according to the dashboard is 199 lifetime mpg.
Brandon, Car Questions Answered on YT, said today that he bought a 2019 Tesla ($100k new) for $22k at auction. Imagine having an EV that lost 78% of its value in just 60 months.
Bought a 2020 Model 3 Performance for 60k. Just traded it in for a new Silverado Trail Boss. I was only offered 8k-15k on the trade in just four years later. Any savings I had on gas wiped out by depreciation. Not doing that again.
Good grief, I would have sold it myself. Not sure why people ever trade their vehicles into dealerships. You always get lowballed beyond belief. And it's super easy to sell your car yourself when you have the title. At least in Florida.
That’s exactly my point as well. The little you save on gas is to morally wiped out in depreciation and increased insurance costs. Not to mention all the inconveniences that come with an EV
Great video again Mark, EV s are too inconvenient with the range anxiety etc, like you said, I'll never have one, I would consider a non-plug in hybrid though
Politics is the problem. If the government allowed cheap, light weight ICE's like the old Mini or the new IMVO, we could minimize the cost of ownership plus the carbon foot footprint. As an aside, ending immigration into advanced economies would limit the growth of carbon emissions.
In my state in the USA, we have to register our cars every year. So, to make up for lost taxes for electrified vehicles, they tax you extra at registration time each year. If you have a hybrid, they charge an extra $250. If you have a fully electric vehicle, they charge an extra $500 per year. Personally, I drive so little that I don't spend anywhere near $250 per year on gas. So, it would cost me significantly more to have anything other than a car with an ICE engine.
My wife and I live in Southern California and we have one ICE car for long trips and a Tesla Model Y for around town. Love my Tesla and plan on keeping it 5 years. The Tesla supercharger network is the best.
EVs are great for some and not so much for others. The only people I know going back to ICE are those who didn't think about how to reliably charge their cars. They quickly found that depending on superchargers is incredibly inconvenient.
Going through car lots and looking at ads, I see a lot of Teslas being offered. Even newer ones (2021) are being offered for less than $30000. In the Soviet State of Washington, EVs still pay about the same as the ICE vehicles for registration fees. This, with a Governor that ran for President on the "Green Platforms". 💩

it's easy to tack on a here's what i think why it's happening title on everything. reality is, everyone has their own reason for doing so. if you look into certain model ev's that are being sold by private sellers, it has to do with the manufacturer going out of business and owners feeling helpless when it comes to servicing the vehicle due to limited parts available or service manuals not being available. ie: Arcimoto, Fisker, etc.. some ev owners finance their high costing vehicles, later unable to pay for them if they lose their jobs, because the company they work for is moving to another state, or because they get laid off for any number of reasons, could be anything like medical or family or natural disaster.. who knows..
I have bought two hybrid vehicles and they were excellent great gas mileage. I would never have a problem with a hybrid car however, I would never ever buy an electric car who needs mileage anxiety? I would never wanna deal with that stress.
They don’t want you being mobile. They want you in a pod eating bugs. They’ll force automakers to make cars you cannot afford or force you to an EV that has limited range as a feature.
They are stuck using public chargers only, and other content creators have shown that public chargers, when compared to gas pumps, you aren't getting any financial relief with the EV.
I have an ICE chevy truck. It also has been burning Hydrogen for the past 15 years. Keeps engine clean and better MPG. Best kept secret that got Stan Meyer murdered.
Haven’t seen that here in California ev’s are becoming the more dominate vehicle on the road over here. Teslas on average last 200k before needing a new battery almost zero maintenance no engine just tires and windshield fluid. And if you have a home with solar charging is almost free. And with electricity it’s still cheap to charge a Tesla. I don’t see any issues with ev’s. And the new Tesla semis can go 1000 miles before needing a charge the motors have a twenty year warranty and they can haul more and pick up speed faster to merge in. So seems like ev’s in time will eventually make gas powered engines obsolete.
ICE vehicles have never been more reliable and the gas infrastructure never more widespread, why switch? 45 minutes for a charge at a super charger place is still agony to wait, 2-3 minutes I'm fueled up and on my way, time is money.
