Absolute bollox! EV's are now becoming cheaper than ICE's and once you've driven one, there is no turning back. Goodbye ICE and good riddance. Had enough of your stinking and loud engines.
@@arjunsecondary You're happy about that? How would you feel if you ran your good ole gasoline car inside an enclosed garage for an hour or so? Might get a bit stuffy? That's exactly what you're doing to everyone's atmosphere. Let's pretend that every human is allotted only 1 cubic mile of fresh air for their entire lifetime. What you do with your air is up to you but if you dirty the air then you don't get any new air, you have to breath it. Oh, and any fresh air you have left at the end of your life, you pass that on to your kids.
@@Flickerbrain How would you feel if all your food has to be grown in land tainted by e-waste? Oh I know, you don’t care as long as it’s out of sight and out of mind. The western EV industry thrived for the past few years because all the pollution had been outsourced to China. And now a significant percent of Chinese farmland and water are tainted with heavy metals, leading them to hog more water resources from India and all the other downstream countries. Here in the Philippines, indigenous groups had to fight against mining companies from Canada, China, America and Australia to prevent open pit mining of copper, nickel, cobalt and other essential minerals for EVs. Be realistic. EVs aren’t the unicorn you think it is.
If you live in an apartment, or a house that only has on street parking, or a house that has a dated electrical system, you can't do at home charging. Without at home charging, EVs aren't worth the hassle. Even when public EV chargers are available and work, sitting around and waiting for the EV to charge is much slower than filling up a gas tank.
If you can't charge at home but you can charge at work, that would be fine as well, most people are at least 8 hours at work and that is more than long enough to charge for a 300 mile commute both ways.
Anyone making a simple calculation would understand that even that dated house can charge an ev (during the night) without any issues. Driving an average amount of km daily can be charged at night (when most other electricity appliances are not working.) With 6 km/kwh you can charge with 1 to 2 kw consumption (level 1 charging or level 2 charging)... more or less the same power as a vacuum cleaner uses. But I do agree that not every appartment will have chargers at their parking lot....however that also depends on which country and city you are living. In other words...in front of the door of my (99 year old) mother there is a public charging spot ... Withing a few 100 meters I cvan find at least 6 other publicspots for charging cars. Price (in Rotterdam, Netherlands) is reasonable for those public spots. Og, before my retirement my company had placed public chargers on their parking...in 2013 already (on my request). Making it possible to use my shortrange nissan leaf 2013 to go to my work ...charging it there and at home.
hit the nail on the head here....eco fanatic's think EVERYONE owns a house....not so much....ppl who rent a apartment or 4 plex dont have access to charging ports....and like hel would i go and park my car at a public station in my city. and not every work has electric chargers....in my city only dealerships have them.
@@ericgregori I normally think that self driving cars are the stupidest invention ever, especially if there is a person in it with nothing else to do. This is actually not a bad idea, although having chargers at residential parking spots would be a lot cheaper solution.
Uhh.... I am calling bullshit on The Revv Report's report. After 3-years with my Model Y, I do not ever see myself owning/driving an I.C.E. car again....TRUTH!
That's cool for you and all of the very vocal people in this common section, but that is not true industry wide, with most EV'S losing about 50% of their value in UNDER a year this year, pretty sure the whole EV movement died.
Not really. I'm getting a second EV (used) as we speak. If you plan/purchase for your range they're way cheaper in the long run than ICEs. I'm seeing more and more EVs all around.
EVs will never beat my hilux in terms of durability and reliability. Plus I can fix it on my own. And I’m planning to get a Hilux Champ once it’s available. ICE vehicles are only more expensive in the US because of all the extra BS they try to add into it, plus taxes and all artificial cost by the ESG overlords. All the reason Hilux Champ will never be available there.
To each their own. I have owned three EVs and I hope I never have to go back to ICE. That is just me. I test drove a few petrol cars recently and it felt like going back to a horse and buggy compared to an EV. I have owned at least 10 petrol cars in my life.
and since u say petrol you obviously live in EU where there are chargers EVERYWHERE....try having a EV up here in central canada...when charge stations are 200-350 kms appart and only in MAJOR cities wicxh there are only 2 in my province
Nonsense propaganda. I charge two EV daily drivers, twice a week in the winter and once a week in the summer, and my power bill only went up by $45.00. Since going to EV, I'm saving over $400 per month in fuel. With a total of 8 vehicles in our fleet, 2 EVs, 5 gassers and 1 diesel-I will purchase another EV.
no maintenance, no gas, instant torque and comfortable to drive daily. but its not recommended to everyone. you need a single family home to charge every other day or daily for convenience. i have 110k miles on my model y no squeaks no rattles 9% degradation. I believe people have a choice of what type of car to purchase not just EV.
Yeah. Completely biased arguments to spread FUD. Happy owner of a Model Y myself and never going back. Even if you pay me I don’t want to own a gas car again. Yeah some cars have defects. And a lot of recent EVs were designed to have those to get people off EVs. Most car brands do not have a clear path to move to full EVs production and lack the expertise. They will do anything to get people to believe EVs are not reliable. But Teslas are part of the most reliable cars on the planet. So now we know it’s not about EVs but simple bad engeneering. Either on purpose (some of them) or because EVs are still side projects with B teams for the others.
“Owners of cutting edge, tech-filled [Battery Electric Vehicles] BEVs and [Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles] PHEVs are experiencing problems that are of a severity level high enough for them to take their new vehicle into the dealership at a rate three times higher than that of gas-powered vehicle owners,” - JD Power, June 27, 2024
I'm living in a downtown condo without charging infrastructure so I stick to my ICE car until public charging gets better - but then, I have access to good public transport and don't need much petrol per month. Some of this video is nonsense. Homeowners don't "get a heart attack" from the electricity bills - I understand there are special rates for EV charging - and that in many states, electricity costs 10 c per kWh or less.
There are gas cars, electric cars, and Teslas. Teslas are a completely different vehicle experience from purchase to driving. People thought they could buy any EV and get the Tesla experience. These are the people in the study going back to gas. If you want a world-class car that charges at home and drives itself, the only option is Tesla. Everything else is a cheap knockoff.
@@inkydougOh, yeah... So you're speaking as the humanitarian advocate, the voice of the voiceless. a champion for the impoverished, a spokesman for the general population of those who cannot afford an EV and an ICE at the same time. You are are a hero, and thank you, for setting me straight.
EV charging is optimal at home with solar panels and energie storage, ok in citys... worse in suburbs and absolutely the worst on countyside. Im living in germany, at one out of sixteen capital citys, that has 3 charging stations with miserable charging speeds (22kW per hour max). There is not one station for supercharging! Thats why i bought a petrol fueled car and not a Tesla. And we have a lot of Kreisverkehr, so the elimination of the turn signal lever is a shame.
@@tenwatts2378 many of them are at private parking lots/ hotels... only a few are publicly available. I wont drive 5 kilometer just to charge for 5 hours in a crowded place and they are most likely being used, because german citys are a shithole for free parking space. You have to pay everywhere per hour. Thats why EVs park there without charging or they pretend to charge, but are fully charged just to park there for free.
*How much are you getting paid for this Propaganda? At least a few honest RU-vidrs admit they've been approached to spread these lies and they turned it down.*
OCALA, Fla. - John and Joanne Donaldson’s 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport was under a safety recall that included a warning not to park inside garages or near structures. But they say they never knew that. On Thursday, Nov. 10, as Hurricane Nicole was bearing down on the state, the Ocala couple’s home was burning, driving them, a house guest and two tenants out into the street. Hyundai Santa Fe Sport = gas car Ford Expedition fire destroys Ohio home as panicked mom escapes with baby, dogs Ford Expedition = gas car
I rarely comment on videos, but this one is full of misinformation that I have to put something. Don't listen to this garbage - do you research and talk to EV owners.
That is why I have been bearish on Tesla it's putting all your eggs in one basket which is setting yourself up for a disaster. That's what the regular car companies have over Tesla, they have the ability to adjust to whatever customer needs. Tesla is a one-trick pony. When Ev sales crash who has the most to lose?
@@ericgregori the subject is much deeper than ev plus energy plus AI plus robotics. If sales in Tesla plummet, Tesla will lose much needed capital It will need for research to accomplish these other goals. When musk is already funneling off money from Tesla for his other ventures.
@@timothylarson4587 "musk is already funneling off money from Tesla for his other ventures." based on this statement, you have no idea what you are talking about.
