Driving 1000 Miles in 3 Cars: Gas vs Electric! 

Maybe they didnt work lmao

I wouldn't say most. I see maybe a quarter.

My exact thought. Kinda defeats the purpose of owning an EV. Haha

Can't wait to the see the finished electric hummer Jerryyyyy

I was wondering about that too. But they would only save on one charging time and it had to be a perfect stop to maximize that. If they arrived with half battery then they're only charging up half.

Since most people will rarely use their vehicles for such long range drives these tests do little to define real world scenarios especially for the person needing a dependable commuter car. Over 80% of EV owners charge almost exclusively at home. The reality is that most EV's used for commuter applications WILL RARELY EVER NEED TO USE A PUBLIC CHARGER. The kind of testing we need is a real world "convenience factor" test just for the commuter application. This would be a 6 month "commuter use" test of 225 miles round trip per day (this is obviously much longer than a typical commute but because there will always be some fossil fool who claims they need that much range per day to get to work). The EV's would of course be charged at home and have a full tank every morning before leaving their driveway. Also, the EV's would never need to stop at a public charging facility since the average long range versions are now good for roughly 300 or more miles per charge (412 miles per charge for the Tesla LR Model "S"). The ICE vehicles on the other hand will have to schedule at least two gas station stops every week. That sort of daily mileage with an ICE vehicle also means a scheduled oil change every 6 weeks (at least four oil changes in 6 months for the nearly 30,000 miles driven). So roughly 9 hours used to gas up (20 min per week x 26 weeks) and at least six hours wasted for the 4 oil changes (driving to and from a garage then sitting in its customer lounge waiting for the oil change or other routine maintenance). So to compare based on convenience the EV requires only 2 seconds of your day, one second to plug it in before going to bed and one second to unplug it before leaving in the morning (about 6 minutes of your life to maintain the EV over 6 months). A full tank every morning, warmed and defrosted before opening the garage door (try that with an ICE vehicle). THE EV REQUIRES NOTHING ELSE. However, by comparison the ICE vehicle will likely require its owner to be inconvenienced nearly 15 hours every 6 months. The disparity only grows with time. Thats 30 hours every year for the ICE vehicle. The average mpg for an ICE vehicle is 25 mpg so after 30,000 miles you're looking at a likely fuel bill of roughly $3600. Most non-performance EV's average 4 miles per kWh so that's 7,500 kWh at $0.11 per kWh or roughly $825 for the six months. For an ultra reliable commuter vehicle with the LOWEST COST TO OWN BY FAR, the EV wins hands down every time.

I feel like to this point knowing that only Electrify America chargers are decent, there's no difference between a Tesla and a another EV that uses EA chargers. We seldom go out road tripping. We're usually city dwellers, and this video showed the important hack for non-Tesla EVs to take into account. It's good to have options.

@@unusuario5173 thats not accurate. look up charger reliability, EA is not even close to as reliable as tesla superchargers

That would be interesting. I daily drive a diesel truck and you’d be surprised at the amount of stations that don’t have diesel in some areas. Sometimes I have to settle for a truck stop where it’s a lot more expensive

@@laneblount9888 I own an Hybrid Volvo XC40, and it would 100% have the same outcome as the Audi. Since when the battery is dead, it just uses the normal engine. The downside possible is that the hybrid might have needed to stop for gas one additional time since the tank normally is not as big, but otherwise it would not be different.

I agree. I would love to see something like this with conventional and plug-in hybrids and maybe some other types of EVs, such as a tiny econobox and a larger SUV or truck.

as a european, diesel is the best. you can EASILY get 60mpg highway, maybe like 70 if you push it

Nice observation

It’s interesting but he also has to be careful not to veer of too much because when people subscribe to the channel they expect a certain type of genre

Everyone missed how unscientific this comparison is. Gas guzzler SUV, base model mach e, and top end tesla. Of course the top end tesla does better than the base tesla, more motors = better. He should have used average people cars and trims.

This was the same thing I was thinking about!! This video do be a banger too

💯 and for those of us with either a casual interest or limited attention, a 3m video synopsis of just those graphics (and explanatory dialogue) would be great! Perhaps add a graphic (bar+line chart) of refuel cost & time, with apt comment about EV charged while eating, while checking into hotel, etc. (if/where applicable).

Agreed! So good.

Noticed that too. Soo smooth. And the sync between the route progress and the charge reserve... Oh my.

Upstate NY is very mountainous.

i did road trip with SR+ Tesla 3 2 years ago. Dallas -> Denver -> Yellowstone -> Salt Lake City -> Dallas. Only 1 stretch of leg was difficult, had to slow down to 55mph . with LR even that won't be a problem. This happened in late Fall, so it was snowing in Yellowstone

Can't even do the comparison in the South. Tesla is literally the only charging network available.

Search RU-vid for a roadtrip challenge between Tesla, Porsche, Kia and Ford between Denver and Las Vegas. The non-Tesla’s used Electrify America only and did run into some non-working chargers, but there was typically at least one that worked. Porsche came first, followed by the Tesla 3, Kia EV6, Tesla X and then Ford Mach-E. There was a difference of 1.5 hours between the fastest and slowest for the 750 mile road trip. Very good video. I have a Mach-E and will put more planning in before I take a long road trip and not trust just the Ford app.

Yeah this will be a nice little video to bookmark and send to people who say EV can't do road trips. I mean I prefer Tesla but the Mach E performed extraordinarily well IMO.

Are EV's becoming more of a gadget or do they also have the same soul as the ICE vehicles ?

@@mohammadyaqoob746 from personal experience a lot of drivers dont care about the soul when they get utterly trashed at the lights by a EV. after seeing their dragstrip-ready hellcat or demon get absolutly de-stroyed by a glorified golf cart that mom uses to bring the kids to school and a costco run and operates at a fraction of the fuel cost you see plenty of drivers getting the idea that the future is measured in amps, not decibels. i already had a guy in a seriously modded corvette wanting to flat out buy my raven after a 10 minute ride along as i could beat him at the lights without even trying and with 3 kids in the back.

@@SupremeRuleroftheWorld Well rationally EV is the smarter choice for daily tasks and accelerations might be good but they sure ain't good for the battery and acceleration is where it stops not the overall speed. Well I'm talking about most drivers, I'm talking about the select few who wrench hours on their shitboxs , drive late nights to get a clean stretch on the roads and to those who get their thrill only behind the wheel. I'm asking can the EV appeal to them to make the shift ?

@@mohammadyaqoob746 my previous ev had 400k miles on it before i got rear ended. It was driven hard battery wise and it still was in good nick. These old arguments simply are not true anymore. Lets see how good a car with 400k on it still preforms. Mine had 0 power loss, just 10% less range. If you drive a lot you quixkly get fed up from that engine noise once you have driven a ev that does not have that. Its just a better experince in dialy life.

Nvm the fact that Tesla literally said "You can use our charging networks no problem, we'd like to standardize them and open them for use to other manufacturers". But most decided to go with Electrify America or a pump standard that can barley maintain 50wh

you look like a professional RU-vidr. can you give me 501 dollar?

In Europe it's all CCS at this point (Teslas can use other chargers, but not reverse, due to billing process). North America is all CCS (but a different one than in Europe...it's complicated) except Tesla. CHAdeMO is pretty much dead except Japan I think, and China has their own connector. But honestly, considering how young the industry still is, it's already very well standardized. The only thing that's "missing" is for Tesla to switch to CCS in North America, which will hopefully happen sooner than later. Would be sensible to do this at the same time as they're opening up the Supercharger network to other carmakers, which will definitely happen. The plug isn't as elegant, but commonality is more important imo.

Gas car is cheaper for now

If you don’t need much room, look at aptera.

Main problem where I'm from is the charging for sure. If you live in the capital then you're good. Anywhere else you're pretty much screwed

@@ZakvielStreams you didn’t get the joke whoooops

That's probably my charging complaint about Tesla. In my Teslas was the same as you, but in Taycan I can drive 240 miles at 85 mph and then charge back to 80% in 20 mins then drive 240 miles again etc. A higher average charging rate is better and I wish tesla would let you choose between quick half charge and high average charge for longer stops.

@@AB-ts2xd you seem to not understand what he ment.

@@realMysta huh? Tesla’s charge faster than a tycan to 80%, just look it up.

@@niyazmazin5102 I think charging at home would be a lot cheaper, but road trips with superchargers would be more expensive.

we should avoid charging lithium ion batteries over 80% for longevity

True, but I think he wanted a scenario where there wasn’t special planning for a charger at the hotel.

Yea, this was quite irritating, mostly because it wasn't mentioned why they avoided it (if to simulate a stay where it's not an option, fine, but at least mention it because it's becoming more and more common, let alone people can look for places where it as option and book there (where appropriate)). Just as with not starting with full battery. Many people (all who have at-home charging) would start the day with a full battery, when they're going on a roadtrip. Quite odd.

Gas car would have definitely distanced itself more in the lead for sure

@@anthonybielobockie4991 Normal people are driving in kmh not mph. ;-)

Well EV'e problem is not only charging the batteries for them are made out of material that is quickly running out and to produce that amount of electricity you need to burn a lot more fosil fuel.

this is what happens when car companies are a quarter interested/invested in EV's. They just seem to all be trying to come out with and EV with out a way to properly charge them.

Europe Union have a law that states all electric cars must have the same charging port design, so you can charge at any station in any European country, as opposed to usa where there are company specific charging stations (BMW or Audi etc)

@@Modelo646 Who asked?

@@laden6675 I could ask you the same thing

The problem is the amount of power needed to charge these cars. If you had one station only for charging no gas but same layout. 10-20 charging stations. If ten cars showed up to charge all at once. Or if a few got there early. The first cars to plug in would get charged normally, once the rest plug in the amount of power output to the chargers would decrease and or fluctuate between cars. So not all would get and equal chwrge. The load could not manage equal power output to all. So some maybe full charge in 45-1:30 or whatever. The last person would be there for hours. Plus all EV chargers use energy created by fossil fuel which makes me laugh. But biggest problem will be energy storage. Plus fast charging and all this raising the amps and all that into the cars battery will degrade it much faster than a steady flow charge for an hour or whatever. I was just at a IEEE green tech conference. The other problem is we literally can’t make the energy/power needed to charge every vehicle in America if they all became electric tomorrow. Tbh I feel the same people now yelling at oil companies and fossil fuels will be yelled at in 40 years due to batteries and their contents not decomposing and filling pits with hazardous waste. Lotta battery acid will go into the ocean and soil. That 30 minutes is a good goal but long term is very harmful to the battery packs. Or the 200 miles in 15 minutes for elons new packs is good but long term it will shorten the life of the battery.

May I ask, why you have gone through so many Ev's in such a short period of time?

Take into account the maintenance of a hybrid and the availability to self service that vehicle

Surprised a company as far reaching and capable as Ford doesn't better execute to make sure their first EV customers have an experience worth recommending to friends. Surely some inexpensive, off the shelf IoT devices could report if stations are down. Heck, pay the minimum wage employees at local Ford dealers to drop in on the stations several times a day to update their status. It wouldn't cost much to provide more accurate data to Ford drivers and it would make for a much better experience.

Ohhh that a very good point . But you need to fill up like once a month so not a huge benefit.

This only applies to people with EV charging at home. If you live in an apartment or something this argument actually gets flipped upside down and favors ICE by a large margin. Though if the stars align for you it's a nice feature to have.

@@aryadhole uh... I fill up easily once a week. I get about 400 miles per tank and drive about 70 miles on work days. If you're only filling up once a month you're barely using your car.

I wonder if you still believe this a year or whatever later? The cost (and weight and size) of adding in an almost never used ICE engine really doesn't seem like the ideal for just about anyone, actually. The added benefit of having 5 backup gallons comes at a direct cost of how many batteries you can pack into the car. You're not just straight adding 250 miles. Even in this video, you see that the real world difference over two days and 1000 miles is 8%. EIGHT PERCENT! And then Marques put a 10% plus/minus error bar on it LOL. In other words... it's just not a problem generally. In the time since, EV ranges have gone up, Superchargers have gotten more prevalent, and gas has gotten more expensive. To be fair, I think it's reasonable to keep plug in hybrids as an option for those people who really do need super, super long range (600-700 miles on a tank?). That's just plain not the VAST majority of people.

@Marques brownlee Channel pinned what do u mean marques brownlee cahnnel pinned, u got pinned on his video?

It doesnt seem like its the software's issue in the Ford, had they asked for a charger and got taken to an empty lot, sure. But the charger being down is a completely different issue. A similar issue that used to happen to Tesla owners some years back. The real issue is in standards. For liquid fuel its the same. Any car that uses gasoline can get gasoline at any pump. Not really the case with electric cars.

A gas car beats the Tesla..

And charging the EV's at the motel to full battery.

Tesla is working on a 25k hatchback. It’s said to come out in 2022-23 ish but it’s first gonna come to china and then the us and europe etc

Look into Aptera they have more range for less and can charge up to 40 miles in solar over a sunny day

The common charge port is ccs. Works fine in Europe. Upside for Tesla owners is that they can also use other charge networks. Most important result about this test is that the quality of the charge network is important. And a bunch of broken chargers is not helping.
