Everything You’ve Heard About Electric Cars is a Lie, Here’s the Truth 

It will be at least decades before Electric cars become the primary consumer vehicle. What most don't consider is how to produce the electricity to charge them. More Nuclear power plants is the only way to produce enough for the demand of everyone having an EV, or until we have better technology. The green energy debacle last winter in Texas is a perfect example of the failings of wind and solar.

Scotty all vehicles on the moon had to be powered by electric because there's not enough oxygen required for combustion.

Batteries are technically fossil fuels also. They're rare, and involve digging into the ground, exposing the atmosphere to harsh chemicals.

So why weren't the Republicans screaming bloody murder at Trump MANDATING that California not do what it wanted to do? Stomping all over their rights to regulate themselves the way they wanted.

@@logan594 If you are including PHEV's and Hybrids than I would agree that it will be close to that percentage. But pure Electric I'd say no.

@@vroomgcThere will be no reason to buy gas powered vehicle. By 2025 they will be similarly priced, but more power, almost 0 maintenance less fuel costs. The last 10% would be towing long range, like camper trailers, and hobbies like rock crawlers, race cars. Why else would you want gas car.(in a new vehicle)

@@logan594 Hey I know the benefits but the infrastructure wont be there yet not to it being a 10% all electric scenario, like you suggest. At least in my opinoin, but yes in time EVs or another technology will be dominating the transportation industry over gas.

Absolutely

EVs will be and are currently being rejected by the marketplace for the same reason they failed 110 years ago. They have not yet fixed the problem of charging time and they never will. But the political class sure found a way to print and spend trillions of dollars to friends of the Uniparty. I will never buy an EV and 95% or drivers never will either….

​@mikeses4392 200 miles in a 15 minute charge is not a "problem" and is only getting better with the development of solid-state batteries. Charging time isn't the problem. Range per charge is and I would argue it is a problem that continues to improve. It most certainly is nothing like 110 years ago.

@@sincitysinnermike They have not overcome either problem and they never will. But even if they did, there is not enough rare earth materials to replace every real car on the road today. The global warming hoaxers will need to find a different solution to their false religion and those stupid charging stations will be the phone booth of this generation…..

@@sincitysinnermike agreed. I had this same argument with some of my gear head friends that unfortunately have their own stubborn passion for internal combustion vehicles claiming that electric vehicles will never replace gas powered cars due its lack of range and infrastructure. They don’t realize the technological advances are moving at a greater speed than even their favorite super cars. We are at early stages of biulding infrastructure and the battery/charging /ranges are all issues that they are improving on. I see the future as completely electric

But what about all the mining that comes with EVs

@@marythompson4654 EV Mfg Sourcing, MFG, Pollutes, Uses Child Slave Labor, Mines owned by China, and Pollutes the Rainforest, Uses Reliable Energy

Recharging a battery is like having a big tank and a glass of water. The glass of water in this example will be equivalent to the charge level of your battery, so a full glass means a fully charged battery. When you buy that glass of water you also buy a tank with water. Every time you charge, you are extracting water from the tank into the glass of water. When the tank is empty, there is no way to pour water into the glass, so we say the life of the battery reached an end. Heat onthe battery and recharging too often will cause leaks for the water tank and will make the glass smaller. A smaller glass means less range.

Yeah, but what you may not realize is that Scotty is already out of date on his knowledge of EV batteries. Some models are already rated to last 1,000,000 miles. Also his discussion of wear of electrical motors is completely wrong. Unlike gasoline motors, EV motors are sealed so that it is almost impossible for foreign particles (that cause wear) to get into the gearbox. Further, while Scotty is right about heat causing wear, he fails to emphasize that electric motors run much, much cooler than gasoline engines. On the other hand, I think this is the first video Scotty has ever made where he actually admits that EVs require much less maintenance than gasoline cars.

That's because they're powered by electric batteries and not coal engines. You've talked yourself into a stupid there, chief. Your argument should be used against those who say electric vehicles create less pollutants than gasoline engines, in which case they're literally correct, yet overlooking the amount of pollution caused by the creation of the batteries and generation of electricity used to recharge them. A hot debate that still hasn't reached a consensus, yet.

@@nottelling4828 You don't know how electricity works, do you? Electricity is created at a power station. If that power station burns coal, or natural gas, then you are running your electric car on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels account for over 60% of the electric power made in America. Fossil fuel accounts for over 84% of the electric power made in the entire world. We don't have green power, so electric cars ARE NOT GREEN CARS...it's not even a debate.

They are recyclable via hydro and pyro metallurgy. Tesla recycles ALL of it's batteries through Umicore in the UK. We all know you can recycle "copper" too. Half of all lithium mining doesn't come from mineral ore, but a brine evaporation process in which lithium rich brine is pumped to higher elevation evaporated by the sun yielding lithium. But lithium is only 2% of a lithium ion battery's chemistry by volume. It's not called a Lithium-Ion battery because it's chock full of lithium, but because a lithium salt ion is the electron that goes from anode to cathode or vice versa when a battery charges or discharges. Since we're on the subject of Rare Earth Elements, then you should know fossil fuel uses much more REE's as catalysts in the process of refining oil into gasoline. If you don't believe me, Google everything I just said; it's all true.

Their is a lithium battery factory in Nevada that builds batteries. Chemicals from the factory has been found in the water up to 100 miles away.

Have you driven a Model 3? Do you like exciting driving? Do you like breathing gas fumes, brake dust?

​@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 No he won't, unless there is a revolution in battery technology that uses materials that are abundant, or we find more lithium and a way to mine it faster. Those US bills targeting 2035 conversion numbers are currently impossible to achieve. Then we have the problem of where are we going to get the power from. The 2035 targets would mean the US needs to expand the power production by 2% per year.. That isn't currently happening... We could use the cleanest and safest fuel invented, nuclear, but everyone misunderstands it so thoroughly that it won't happen. So instead solar will be promoted and make a heavy and toxic metals waste disaster in 20-30 years when they want to replace them with the newer technology of that time. Then we have all the people claiming EV are so clean, but that isn't true either. Cleaner, yes. Clean, no. A large percent of US power is still from coal, followed by natural gas. Produced at efficiencies around 40% then transmitted over the grid at 5-10% losses on what is left, where we charge a battery at another 5-15% loss (keep in mind you cannot sum up those losses, because each is off the amount you had before). So in the end the total efficiency is probably around 30%. An EV will drive 2.5 times the distance on that power vs ICE so is the better option, but still pollutes. Also thier manufacturing produces much more emissions. Some will say I only charge with solar, which has the manufacture and disposal problems, so isn't benign either, but better than petroleum. For solar, but I don't see how that is going to work for the masses unless we have abundant and cheap batteries at home. In theory people with cars use them. To get to work for instance. If you install solar on your home, and your car is at the office/job site, how are you going to charge it? The power companies aren't going to let us use the grid to transfer that for free (ignoring the losses for doing so). We are already getting to the point where solar customers are going to have a rude awakening when the power companies start charging them full price for the use of the grid as their battery, and stop free loading off all the other customers. In the end we won't transition nearly as fast projections unless a currently non existent technology is produced. EVs make more sense from an energy and pollution standpoint, but not from an economic and production standpoint.

My wife used to put on 16k miles a year driving to her job. It was endless oil changes, brakes, tires, repairs and buying a replacement car every ten years. Since 2015 she has been working from home and now she hates driving, hates stores, buys on-line and has it shipped, even groceries. Drives less than 3000 miles a year. Her car is ten years old and will last another ten years. Uses maybe one tank of fuel a month. I drive it occasionally just to keep the battery charged up.

There's only 150000 gas stations in the US. Are there hundreds of cars waiting at each one? No. Most people will only need to top up once a week. They rarely do a fill up from empty. Same with electric cars. At present, 10 minutes charging would keep most people going for the next week. These times are going to fall in the coming years. As of the energy shortage, that's getting improved on with renewable energy sources. Over the next few years, the cost of coal or gas powered electricity generation will be so expensive and renewable so cheap (it's already a fraction the cost of coal etc) that renewable energy sources will be the vast majority of production. Couple that with battery storage (using ev battery banks) the electricity supply chain will gett better and more robust than ever before. Your argument is one of ignorance creating fear. It never holds up to scrutiny. The economy will drive the change that's necessary. Don't rely on government to do it.

You also have to look at what else is happening. Currently Aptera is coming out with an EV that runs so efficiently that one model gets a 1,000 miles on 1 charge! They also have solar on the exterior of the car that can get you 40 miles of extra driving range just by sitting in the parking lot as you work. Another innovation is from a company called Solar Window, they are making a solar film that you can see through and it can be applied in multiple layers! Can you imagine a car covered in Solar Window film multiple layers thick? You may never need to stop at a charging station again! One other thing in California there are gas stations that have converted the EV charging and they are doing a lot better than when they had gas. By the way I think 15 million cars is a low number for California, I’m sure Jay Leno has at least 250,000 vehicles himself!

The lack of chargers in apartment buildings and other rental units is a big problem. I'm sure adoption if EVs will be pretty widespread among home owners in the near future. Not sure what can be done about the renters.... It's definitely an issue. As someone who lives in an apartment complex I certainly wouldn't buy an ev unless I could charge it at home. The extra load on the grid is absolutely a problem that can be solved though.... I'm not worried about that.

For me, it is a non issue. Pick your poison, I would gladly trade the convenience of refilling my car in 5 to 10 minutes on a long distance road trip, if that meant the other 99% of the time I am not going out of my way to fuel up my car, nor pay stupid prices for gas.

I’m with you on this. It is surprising how little critical thinking is going on about battery technology being used for cars when we all have cell phones which are constantly demonstrating how disappointing battery technology can be.

I remember 1969, fuel cell technology got Americans to the moon and back again! That was over 50 years ago....but let's just forget that, ditch fuel cell technology and stifle American transportation with loads of batteries from China instead of building upon what has been proven to work fifty years ago! That's our government.

@@northdakotaham1752 Hopefully there will be some good breakthroughs in the technology for breaking hydrogen out of water. Would be awesome for it to be cheap enough for the fueling stations to be able to generate it themselves on-premises. Once that happens battery cars are on the way out as is gasoline.

@LabRat Knatz pointing out the obvious will get you censored these days. We, the simple working class who do all the work, paying and dying, aren't suppose to know anything or question anything our government and their paid mouthpieces, MSM, tells us. We are just suppose to believe them, shut up and get back to work, paying and eventually dying...to be replaced by somebody who will work for less money.

It is lower energy than charging. Battery should not be meaningfully affected.

@@alfaeco15 “should”?

Yeah...and with the extreme patience everyone has, I am sure almost nobody will damage their batteries by fast charging them. /s

NOLL - there is no “might” about it. It’s a known fact.

The might part was meant about the percentage, not about the reduction of life. JMO.

@@northdakotaham1752 lol

@@NOLL72 one affects the other…

People can't even recycle plastic bags.

All authorities are going to have to look for replacing fuel tax incomes which will drop radically if EV's become popular. Either new taxes will be introduced (as in your case), or electricity costs at charging stations will go through the roof.

Tell them your odometer was lost in a fishing accident, or it’s none of their business… or stop voting blue.

EVs are actually cheaper, you can get one for anywhere between 100 to 2000 dollars

@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 so you do not plan on replacing brakepads bushings stering componets bearings suspention ect ect And other wear parts ? you will never see Ev as old cars they are not built to last, as is the case with every ice car made in atleast 20 years you see i know abit about this stuff as i build battery packs for home use both from harvested cells and new ,even made packs for a few Ev, and been a mec since the 90 i have cars from the 50 60 80 90 mainly old volvos 444,544 121 and mercedes your ev will not be serviceable for a average tech when they are 60 years old , if they were made simple enough they could be ,but they are not..get alot of miles on it before its 8-10years old keep the cells over 3,20v under 4,19v if your model still run generic 186 cells between 20 and 80% and you will get the most out of your `car`

@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 its the cost of batteries and all that lovey china tech that land them in the scrapyard

Did you ask them the cost, to replace one of one of these batteries?

If your 250-mile battery is only used between 20 to 80%, then it's really a 150-mile range EV.

He didn't talk about the cost of battery replacement and the problems in the winter and being stuck for hours in a jam.

@@lawrencemiller3829 ice cars ran out of fuel in the recent winter storm jam. Tesla's in the jam used about 13% of their charge. "But Kanninen said it was a "common misconception" that electric cars performed poorly in cold weather. In 2021, a Tesla driver tested his Model 3 in cold Norway temperatures and said the EV was able to idle with the heat on for about 72 hours." Car and driver recently found the model 3 could maintain 64 degrees in similar temperatures for 45 hours. The other issues are worth looking into tho.

You DO know that every word he said about the political development of the EV is a BALDFACED LIE?

Norway has the most ev’s per capita, and they know how to use them in the cold. Battery precondition is one way. The have charging station on gas stations, what a concept! Why not attract both customers and make some money?

@@ralphnoyes4366 yeah I didn't want to spend the time to dig into it but it felt like a hit piece to me. It may just be he really dislikes Eevee's and so he only hears bad news and discounts or minimizes the good news.

There is a start up company in Europe that is making solar power cars. They are not truly solar power, rather an electric car that get supplemental charging from solar panel built into the car hood and roof/hatchback. Apparently it only needs to be hooked up to a charger 1 a month to 1 per 7-ish months, depending on how much sunlight you get, and the charger can be a "electric car" charger or a common house outlet. The first batch of cars are crazy expensive but there are plans to make affordable cars by 2025. (I just did a quick search to get the name and apparently there are several of these companies!)

And in rural Australia 🇦🇺. With country similar size to usa with only 26million people . 3million of them in Sydney . 4,000klm east to west coast.

Absolutely

Lack of practical battery tech, but yes.

Also back then they didn't have a sophisticated battery management electronics, let alone a computer controlled system.

You think there is that much oil

Yes,😊 were producers of the alternative transport that runs on just grass & hay. Speed control can be an issue with our thoroughbreds & the speeding tickets can up!

horses are actually one of the most eco friendly transportation options within their limitations. They are solar powered as they eat grass.

UK electricity is less than 5% by coal today... and that's high for us, most of the time there's no coal generation at all. There is no oil generation at all today. It has been established that even if a country's national grid is powered entirely by fossil fuels it produces less carbon using the electricity in EVs than turning it into fuel and burning it in internal combustion vehicle engines.

@@MrAdopado Clean energy can only be obtained from hydro, solar and wind power. Imagine millions of electric cars? Where will the UK get power for electric cars? Let's be honest, replacing "fossil" fuel cars with electric cars is a dream.

How to drive gasoling engine cars without oil… The same argument goes to that direction too… We run out of oil eventually. We have coal more than oil. So that will last longer. But the problem remains…

@@MarianoNappiI simply have solar panels home…. Does that respond to your argumentation?
