🔥 Are EV battery fires the hidden cost of going electric? Shocking! Battery Fires on the Rise: Why EV Owners Are Speaking Out! WATCH IT NOW HERE!🎬 ruclips.net/video/J8fnd56p3gs/видео.html
The global car industry jumped into EVs without any market testing. Everything was directed top-down from governments and environmentalists. Car executives just believed it without thinking it through or without any real-world experience. How many people throughout history thought that they had a great idea, only to find out that it does not work?
The Soviet system is a perfect example of the foolhardiness of Central Planning. It's the tool of tyrants, and the enemy of the people." The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants and has the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a clear conscience ".
Except EVs are doing much better in China and other foreign countries and looking at players BYD and Xpeng. Tesla is closing the gap each year in sales.
There’s a great book titled, “Uncle Sam Can’t Count.” Anytime the government wants, or forces, you to buy something, it’s a disaster. Or, as someone smarter than I said, you don’t give discounts on things people want.
Car industry was eager and convinced gov terror both legal and financial will force people to buy EVs. This didn't happen due to various and well known reasons. Another factor is that EV's were introduced the worst possible way by pretending EV can fully repace ICE with same experience to the driver. This also failed miserably. At this moment the only EV andvantage that hold is that it does not emit at the place it is. All other advantages proved to be false or misleading.
@@nemonooit Not exactly. There's a need to restart the idea of Carlos Goshn when he as Renault CEO decided there's a need to create 5000EUR car and the result was Dacia Logan. There's a need to restart the idea of basic car otherwise the economics will make a car a luxury destroying one of the biggest social progress feature of XX century - individual motorized mobility.
I found a Hyundai hybrid to be excellent, 60+ to the gallon in summer and mid 50s in the winter. I thought hybrid was the best answer to transition people over until the technology was sorted. Instead you have many people not wanting to buy an ev because a few months later technology makes their car pretty much obsolete. Depreciation is bad as it is, losing 50% in the first year ridiculous.
One missed reason, is the MASSIVE lawsuit against VW for the loss of some 3,000 cars being carried on a automotive transport ship, caused by a VW EV bursting into flames while in transit.
100% correct EVs are a disposable items like your mobile phone. After ~3 years the battery is toast and you throw it away. Same with EVs the battery goes toast and the replacement cost is not justified. That is why they depreciate rapidly. You can replace few parts in an ICE and will keep you going for years, but these EV things are just junk and worthless at price.
Not only did I work for VW ( now retired) I’m on my second petrol Tiguan and my wife is on her second petrol Up! I will NEVER buy an EV but if I did it wouldn’t be a VW
Another reason for the EV decline is that the recharger points halted incredible behind the EVs being spitted out of the factories.If you cannot recharge your EV on long tours you get angry !With a petrol/diesel cars you can always get you tank filled up no matter where you go !
VW has been selling only a facade without content for 20 years, but has increased the prices of cars 2-3 times. VW workers are grossly overpaid, and the company likes to act like a state within a state with money.
"Can Selling EVs Save VW", lol, I think the answer is NO. Perhaps stopping wasting time building and trying to sell EV's, and concentrate on real cars, for real people.
What has VW to offer ? The VW Polo comes with 3-piston engine only. They want the full price for a car with a 3/4 engine. The Golf has a 1.5 liter engine with wet driving belt in the engine. No, thanks. The diesel engines are reduced in power from 174 Ps to 120 Ps now. EV adventure starts with an ID.3 with small capacity battery for $39000. The Version with higher capacity runs up in price to $50000. Even I had $50000 at hand I would not spend that huge amount of money in an car.
What will save VW is a solid state EV battery which has a far better energy density level than conventional lithium batteries, is lighter, has a minimal fire risk and is cheaper. Fit it into their EV's and customers would return. Problem is that in two or three years, the Chinese will be doing it anyway, thereby moving even further ahead of their competition!
They were so concerned with what their execs wanted to make they forgot about making cars for people that actual buy cars lmao, I hope all these brands go belly up.
@stevielease7952 EVs are far more efficient machines , they rely on an energy source that does not have to be monopolized and save tbier owners huge in fuel , maintenance expenses.

You need to educate yourself and grow a brain. Look at the ratio of fires of electric vs combustion engine.

Seems to me what the world needs is a basic cheap reliable car (not battery powered). Something that is getting very hard to find.
Very happy with my no airco no radio citroen c3 that I bought new in 2019 for 12000 euro. And indeed no longer made. Cause not enough profit.
dacia, it's all you need.

Any link to this story please?
I don't know the answer, but EV are too expensive for a disposable item.
Teslas are superior million mile vehicles & now price comparable.
Some Chinese EVs are half the price, but we can't get them into the States. The cheapest EVs don't have the range the Americans think they need.
@brokeboy87 The USs avg commute is ( gogled) 12 miles with 6 traffic lights. 100s miles of range seems excessive.
@@GWAForUTBE The range thin is for long travels. Even within city you can eat up the range in no time.

Same story as yours here.
Trilions thrown away in an effort to convince us that ev is the way ahead
Government mandates without testing and people bought into it
Why focus on EV when only China is the main EV market? The rest of the world still slowly adopting it? Why not just focus on hybrid instead!
why dont they make a diesel hybrid for north america

Should have gone for PHEV like Toyota and BMW.

Disruptions hit hard
Profits still huge.Their priority must increase in profit not decrease.

VW has no car that the clients would like to buy and could afford it. I can't see in any meaningful future they will be able to provide such a car.
They were so concerned with what their execs wanted to make they forgot about making cars for people that actual buy cars lmao, I hope all these brands go belly up.
ID 3 & 4 were underwhelming
EV folly is a huge part but going along with foolish EU and US geopolitical adventures is causing all of Germany to go down.
A decent EV will save VW
There is no such thing. EV's are a total waste of money and resources. Overpriced ,and high insurance. For starters.
@stevielease7952 EVs are far more efficient machines , they rely on an energy source that does not have to be monopolized and save tbier owners huge in fuel , maintenance expenses.
Oxymoron. They're all range-limited, environmentally-destructive fire-hazards. That may change in the future, but still years away, at a minimum.
Nothing as sobering as trying to trade in your used EV.
Bad software, exspencive to much plastic😢
Volkswagen is known for it's breakdowns and no parts and high price: just sell in Germany only.
I'm sick of robotic voiceovers
