Some points were valid especially about infrastructural support in a lot of America. Others like cost depend heavily on the make and model like literally every other car in existence

electric lemon.

Junk

FOLKS WILL ONLY EMBRACE THESE NEW IDEAS WHEN THEY BECOME AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE! OTHERWISE WILL NEVER PART WITH A RELIABLE ICE CAR THAT IS INEXPENSIVE AND NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND FUEL FOR!

Direct Methanol (or Ethanol ) Fuel Cells seem to have much more to offer.

This only happens in US because US is failing

The simpler a vehicle is the more reliable it is .My 97 year old single speed bicycle is testament to this. It let me down once when it had a puncture .It cost 7 shillings and sixpence when it was new, and I recently turned down an offer of £2000 for it. it costs pennys a year to run and in its lifetime has cost the price of a spanner a screwdriver and maybe 3 cans of oil for all the services it has had, EVER.I'm reasonable shure it will last the rest of my life then it will become the property of one of my grand children and last the the rest of their lives as well.

I own Diesel Chevy C3500 (dually) since 1993… still run with over 1M Km’. Ok… had gear repair and motor repair … but runs with no problem and drivers around stopping me to appreciating my beautiful pickup

Vehicles were already money pits; now its much worse with EVs what with high depreciation and inability to repair them. Because the battery packs are a single unit and not repairable, the life of the vehicle is how long the battery pack lasts, because they cannot be repaired or replaced in a cost effective way. Why should buyers shoulder this high price, with a limited life of the vehicle. Compare to an ICE vehicle where you can replace components in a cost effective way, and even the engine from a doner vehicle if it completely fails. I will stick with old ice vehicles and keep my money in the bank!

Horse drawn carts, that is the future.

You realistically need a garage to have an ev for the charger. Apartment dwellers and renters are out of luck. Teslas for rich people will not solve reliance on fossil fuels. Heating homes never even discussed. Evs also have much more limited range in the cold.

There are more and more ev's sold each year. There are less ice vehicles sold each year due to more ev's being sold.

I will never own an EV - not even a hybrid --- and with your video, I agree --- until you keep blowing a dog whistle every few moments. You keep on showing money being handled. I know what money looks like - tell me it's expensive to repair and don't keep wasting my thinking with $100 bills. That's just cheap shot journalism.

the batteries are improving : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v6bm67atkfA.html

In my opinion, if you buy an EV, you are the car maker's guinea pig! However, I'll wish you good luck though.

Ice car are craching only idiotes buy new ice cars now

You are regurgitating talking points for at least 10 years ago. Pathetic. 👎

It takes a heavy weight sucker to go for a full EV... 🤣

Ultimately, the government push for EVs will prove to be a ruse for mass transit. In order to ensure EVs thrive by their own merit, and we aren't compelled into higher costs, limited access, and resource shortages, the people *MUST* get the government out of leveraging markets: we must rely on consumer market demand to define how, when, and where EVs thrive. Otherwise, low and middle-income consumers will be remanded to walking, biking, sharing rides, mass transit. There will be additional horrendous costs for taxpayers.

There's a Buck-ee's here where I live that's about 1/2 way between Dallas and Houston on I-45. When you go in there on a Holiday Weekend, ALL 24 of the Tesla Only SuperCharging Stations are full with dozens waiting to get in. There are also 8 Non-Tesla chargers behind the Shell Station and 8 Non Tesla chargers at the Walmart. Needless to say, if your EV runs down, you MIGHT be sitting a while to get it charged on the weekend/holiday/hurricane evacuation/etc.

Medium priced EVs only cost $15000 - $25000 at the moment ! 20 years later , you will see Legacy Cars still in the US , Japan & a small number of EU countries only . 30 years later , you will find Legacy Cars in Museums only ( like Kodak films ) .

MISINFORMATION - another misinformation video from #toyta who sponsor this. There is no crash in the EV industry, go research yourself from a creditable source.

Stop buying this junk, lmao a fool and his money soon part ways

for a bicycle it's ok to have an electric, for cars... I guess hydrogen is way better

What EV market crash? The market is still growing, albeit at a slower rate because media decided to talk it down.

All out of date news, which might have validity 4 years ago.

Paid by the gas company?

A big turn around will be when charge range goes beyond 500miles. This will happen when they start putting solid state batteries into EV's where they are half the weight. If they can get a 1000 mile range, then it will be a no brainer to get one over an ICE. You'll start seeing solid state batteries in about 5 years in EV's. In 20 years, the opinions will flight against ICE engines at that point as gas stations start becoming more scarce.

What a piss poor video, poorly researched and a promotion by ICE industry. For those that do not know, there will be 17MILLION electric vehicles sold this year!

Zero Emmisions? (As written directly on these EV Vehicles body panels) 😂 more like massive emissions TWICE ! 1) When creating Batteries & EV specific components & the toxic waste by-products as a direct result. Even building the very Vehicle itself with its non existent life span. 2) Then in a few years time the cost per repair is astronimical rendering them unfixable, headed straight for the scrap yard. Well Done, "ZERO EMMISIONS MY ARSE!. (Not even factoring in public EV charging stations power demand on coal/gas power stations. What a complete joke. 🙄 The world gone mad ! (Well atleast in brainwashing the EV sales & consumer buying hogwash, its all smoke & mirrors people) The EV, It's more about a Status Symbol then saving the environment. So shallow & sad & a massive money making conglomerate killing this world as most still continue call it green with zero emissions. 🙄 Note - yes I built a diy offroad true ebike (Lifepo4 cells) but I can "fix & maintain it easily" & have had & enjoyed it for well over 8 years & still going strong. EV "DIY"works on a small scale (eg Light DiY EV like motobikes & E-Bikes) with replacement parts readily available & not astronimical priced, but the mass production of Large EV cars & Trucks & even motocycles on a mass production scale with their specific parts & unatainable spares or the cost vs repair do more harm than good in my opinion.

Not repairable, is a form of low maintenance.

EVs are soon to be obsolete. New combustion tech that can run on gasoline, Natural Gas, Ethanol (E10 to E100), propane will be 75% in combined cycle (cruise) and 55%-60% Peak power and on average. An Otto cycle engine is 15% on average and 30% peak. A Diesel is 18% unloaded and 35% to 42% in loaded Semi trucks. Try: 150 MPG HWY, 240 MPG City, 200 MPG average. 20 gallons is 4000 miles of range. This includes CO2 and water capture with 40 gal pressure tanks that allow optional Natural gas from house at 1200 PSI. Engine compresses gas.... 60 gallons total with no capture gives12,000 mile range, or 1 year of EU driving. No EV need apply... The key is making fuel. H2 is a silly stupid concept as a fuel. Never work. Ethanol is the ideal fuel. We can use corn or Electro ethanol and be 100% off oil for cars, trucks, boats, light airplanes and houses/buildings. Ethanol is ideal to power a house/building due to low fire risks and storage. Make fuel from solar THERMAL and be up to 45 times cheaper than a 100% solar PV/wind grid. No point to EVs...NONE. All BEVs, FCEVs, hybrids, Otto/Diesel engines are obsolete. There are over 100 reasons this new tech will be the future. CO2 and water capture are key to fire safety and making fuels from solar. No wind/solar PV/battery grid is wanted or needed. All will go bankrupt with one nice lawsuit. HINT

Dont criticise E.V.s... you are putting the underpaid jobs of kids in underdeveloped nations at risk???

There is not enough electricity to power EVs and keep the Internet running. Wonder who will win that battle? (PSST: Don't let EV fanboys see this video)

Meanwhile, from the real world: "As of July 17, 2024, electric vehicle (EV) sales in the United States were growing in 2024, with a 22.9% increase from the first quarter to the second quarter and an 11.3% increase year-over-year. In the second quarter, 330,463 fully-electric vehicles were sold, which was a record high volume"..............and............"In 2024, electric car sales in the United States are projected to rise by 20% compared to the previous year, translating to almost half a million more sales, relative to 2023. Despite reporting of a rocky end to 2023 for electric cars in the United States, sales shares are projected to remain robust in 2024." And BTW, autos are a *global* market and with the largest market in the world (China) eclipsing the 50% mark for % of new car sales being EVs (along with other countries), if you don't know how to make an EV, you are toast. So you EV haters keep on bad-mouthing stuff and putting us on the outside looking in and costing us $$ and jobs just like you have done in the past.

You might me right ( but with the research I have done it only looks like it is climbing) but the ICE market is crashing even faster. The American Car market is nose diving at a alarming rate

The sooner EVs go away for good, the better.

Hydrogen requires A LOT of electricity to produce, it's difficult to store. Why not use the electricity to charge a battery instead?

Seriously EVs will never replace ICE cars.

Not mentioned:The amount of copper NEEDED. I have seen/heard reports that in order to meet the projected demand for EV's by 2050,MORE copper is needed than ALL that has been processed EVER in recorded history!!!!LOL

Yes cheaper if you fit within a certain demographic, like you own or have solar, you only drive less than 50 miles daily, have supercharging for free, etc etc. people who use ICE mentality when owning or reviewing EVs in US is straight up stupid. The reat of thr world has moved on, why cant the US? Its because our infrastructure isnt ment for EVs. Our commute to work, public transportation, etc is geared around using personal vehicles on the daily, including trips to the grocery store, public areas, etc for most. Its the opposite in Europe and Asia where most folks live in cities and own EVs.

Pure rubbish!! I agree. I have had a Model X now for 4 years and charge at home. For a daily driver it's the most cost effective vehicle that I have ever owned.

EV is a headache and a failed technology. How the US government mandated the EV reeks of massive corruption in the halls of power. Dismantle this stupid mandate and lets go back to what works. Internal combustion engines.

Click bate . This is absolutely rubbish, Firstly repairs. Apart from the engine ev are the same as ice vehicles to repair.batterie if the fail in first 10 years they are replace under warranty no issue or cost.as for insurance the admit not investing in repair shops and systems. But if it just minor panel damage the fix the cars

rubbish things

I'm still waiting for petrol cars to be cost efficient so I can finally upgrade my horse!

Well I have had a Tesla M3 for 5 years and a Leaf for 12. Both are not close to a battery replacement. Insurance is now less than what I used to pay by almost half. Servicing costs are about $45/year for the leaf and a total of $300 for the Tesla in 5 years. This video is just wrong and put out by people who are scared that people will realize that you don't need to be paying all this money to oil and car companies.

Insurance....... tesla truck are over 8k a year which is insane
