Masked EV PROPAGANDA. Same bullshit with enviroment protection BUT nothing about manufacturing process of extract lithium and producing those batteries, ALSO nothing about military big powers of the world which keep in air in any moment THOUSANDS of airplanes and trousands of SHIPS, then if anybody would check FUEL CONSUMPTION per DAY of ONLY those two category will find is FEW TIMES MORE than fuel consumption of ALL ICE PERSONAL vehicles on the planet PER MONTH! So.. where is it the concern of governments for emissions and global warming? Does not exist such care, but DOES EXIST their needs to make an entire global population MORE CONTROLABLE, more docile when is about to DROP OWN RIGHTS and in the end.. MORE mass SLAVERY on the planet.
Nothing about the new technology of sodium batteries. Just the sauce around the battery issue. Only disappointment will remain after watching the videos, you won't learn anything new.
To make this a balanced discussion, you might also like to include the statistics stating that around 300 petrol and diesel cars catch fire *each day* in Britain. Or the NTSB's stats from the US, where the NTSB recorded 180'000 ICE car fires during 2022. Or that the Bedfordshire Fire & Rescue service, who tackled the Luton airport fire (started by a diesel Range Rover) stated in their online call-out log (which is accessible to anyone online) that so far this year, they had tackled 1300 ICE car fires, but not a single EV fire. Tesla's own figures make surprising reading too. Out of 6 million EV's produced over 11 years, around 250 have caught fire Worldwide. Reading the press, or the crap online, you'd think it was tens of thousands....
You'd also have to break it down by manufacture year ranges as they were built to different standards. You're trying to slant the data every bit as much as everyone else is with a egg in this basket. Then, you also need to compare the stats by year and also the ratio of ICE vs. EV of those years still in service. Until anyone breaks it down to that level it's all hyperbole. The real truth though is the hurricanes keep showing how useless EV are when it really matters. That is what any car owner needs to truly look at is how useful these things are compared to the type of weather events they get in their home region. EV simply aren't useful for things like blizzards, hurricanes, and any rough and wet weather in general.
The 4680 batteries haven’t lived up to the hype from battery day. The density is improving. CATL is the Tesla of batteries and are in the lead. We will see how things shake out over the next 5 years
I'm trying to understand the hyperbole of this video. This 4680 cell has far less energy density than CATL cells. And we are on the cusp of solid state batteries going into cars. Tesla is behind the curve, not ahead of it.
Constant fast charging will destroy the battery & 'drive' you towards a £15k+ charge for a new fitted battery. This Snake oil Salesman fails to tell you the TRUTH. Do as he says & get ready to fork out £000's.
We are putting the cart before the horse we need more power stations increased wire size from stations bigger transformers the whole grid needs to be redone to make electric cars practical since at same time everyone wants to charge car in daytime is the peak demand on current power for business and homes to have heat and air conditioning. nobody is doing anything to improve the electric grid they stole billions to put in chargers and have only put in a handful it is all a giant scam by government to steal money they need new wires transformers additional power stations to charge electric vehicles in mid day when people are out trying to go places. currently the only practical way to own an EV is to charge it at night when demand is low at home.
5 minute charging is just not necessary for most people and most use cases. Most cars sit idle the vast majority of the time. More access to Level 2 charging is a higher priority than 5 minute charging so people can charge at home or at work or while shopping, etc. On road trips 350kw should be fine as you charge while you use the bathroom, get something to eat or drink, stretch your legs, etc. Most Tesla users are perfectly fine with 250kw charging on road trips at the relatively well positioned Tesla supercharger network locations. Unfortunately non Tesla EV drivers have to rely on substandard public charging (in terms of reliability and accessibility) but that is improving and standardizing on NACS. Having said that, charging speeds continue to increase and the priority for improving the grid should be adding storage to address peak loads. The old model was to have enough generation capacity to handle peak loads. That was never efficient. In high density areas 100000s of cars plugged into grid aware and bidirectional level 2 chargers could help balance the peak load for times when a lot people need a "5 minute" charge (or whatever the power needs are). But IMO high kw rapid charging (>350w) should be mainly for high use business vehicles (robotaxis?) and large trucks (giga-charging). And battery thermal management, which Tesla is good at, is the most important factor in maintaining battery health even when using rapid charging.
It will not be a reality - why? It id due to the current of electricity, when you move the electricity more faster than the normal charging will produce heat and who know what will happen...Do not compare it to to liquid gasoline...
Why would this make much difference to the infrastructure, 10 cars charging serially for 5 minutes takes no more power than 10 cars charging consecutively for 50 minutes. The requirement for 5 minute charging is over hyped by non EV users adding 200 miles of range in 10 minutes would be a goal that is not too far off. My 3 year old car can do that in 18 minutes and faster charging batteries are already in production.
the wires and transformers can't deliver that much power at one time most multiple car charging stations can't charge several cars at once it starts to slow down the more cars there are.
Except he didn't address why 5 minute charging is completely unnecessary for the vast majority of our cars which sit idle over 90% of the time. We have to get out of the mindset of the gas station model. Charge the car when you are not using it at level 2 chargers. On road trips 5 minutes is not necessary as your stops average much longer than that. It takes longer than 5 minutes just to use the bathroom (which you can do while the car is charging instead standing at the gas pump then going to the bathroom, or vice versa).
The background music is annoying. Also, while this video was just released in Oct 2024, it reflects the reality and opinions closer to 2020. Like, it's obvious at this point that EVs will take over. It might not seem like that in North America, but that's because it is lagging behind the rest of the world in EV adoption. I still, recently, had someone say to me "yeah, but even if we switch to EVs, it won't matter because places like China will still be polluting!" and they were shocked when I told them that 50% of new cars sold in China came with a plug and is responsible for around half of the global renewable energy growth and that N. America is actually lagging way behind the rest of the world. Also, some actual stats would be really helpful. Like how batteries have come down in cost by 50% in the last year alone, while energy density is set to double and charging time is coming down to around 10min to go from 10 - 80%. How thousands of EV chargers are being installed every year and it's now no issue at all to road trip almost anywhere, with there being chargers at least every 150km along all major highways, while EVs with over 500km range are easy to find and affordable (significantly cheaper than the average new car price). How there is now a huge boom in new electricity generation, almost all of it non-CO2 emitting with investments in solar now higher than all other energy sectors combined. These are facts that don't just sound like airy fairy feel good aspirations.
Fast charging doesn't appear to have had much effect on the fleet of MG5 electric estate cars, run by Cleveleys Electric Vehicles in Gloucestershire. They have one particular example - a 71 registered car which has now covered 130k miles - and has been rapid charged almost exclusively out on the road during 24/7 call-outs. It's battery still showed 92% state of health in the last RU-vid video review.....
Around the globe, EVs that are fitted with Power to load feature are powering home appliances by use if the humble extension cord. The caoacity if an EV is huge do can power a refrigerator and wifi for 5 days and have enough charge to make their way to a DC charger out if the zone, recharge and return home. A side effect if this is there will be less reliance on the use of portable petrol or desiel powered generators, which regukarly are the cause of accidental asphyxiation through carbon monoxide poisoning. These tragedies have become do frequent that USA Consumer Product Safety Commission has called for improved saftey stabdards www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/06/07/2023-11983/safety-standard-for-portable-generators "The SNPR seeks to address the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from portable generators." Also an EV can safely be run with AC on continuously for approx 3-4 days which is potentially life saving for survivers in extreme ambient temperatures.
Meanwhile, in the US, both Ford and GM reported good 3Q2024 EV sales growth and Tesla came just under their growth target (about 300 vehicles out of a total of about 460,000 target).
This video is a bunch of nonsense, most likely funded by the status quo comprising the oil and gas industries! As an EV owner for almost 3 years, I will never ever purchase an ICE vehicle again! If you viewers wish to get the true facts about EVs, ask an EV owner! Don't make your purchase decision without obtaining the facts, not by watching this propaganda!
Almost EVERY home has an electric power outlet and is connected to the grid, that is all it takes. You can charge your EV at home, especially with the cheap overnight charging. That is like having your own gas station at home, top that ICE car owners! Plus you can always get solar panels and be free of the grid with your car working like the battery storing excess energy for the dark period of the 24 hour.
If you are right, when are we going to see some actual EV’s that are as good or on par with it’s competitors. So far, they have given below average EV’s
Electric cars died out 100 years ago because they were not practical or viable and everybody wanted gasoline cars. Today, electric cars will die out again, for the same reasons. History truly does repeat itself
Not really. They will eventually fall off a cliff of their own making. The Chinese will screw them. And please don't mention that very dirty dead end word, hydrogen.
Posted as if people never regret buying an ICE vehicle at times. Literally just traded in our 3-year old ICE car that we didn't like for an EV that we're really enjoying.
The reality of ev's will hit home but it will take time and more pain. Ford, VW, Volvo and other companies are cutting back on ev tech. Ford have lost 100's of millions with ev's, vw have seen a 68% fall in sales. This video is a sales propaganda pitch.
Customers in USA rarely buy a replacement EV. First time fool me. Make same mistake twice, I am stupid. Depreciation and repair are in the stratosphere.
