5.0 L or 4.0 L engine ? I have have my mother’s 95 explorer..she bought new.. mostly original has 300k kms original water pump / radiator.. nothing replaced on engine or transmission.. only oil changes and transmission filter and fluid serves.. still has original brake callipers..and original power steering pump / master cylinder / heater core ! Still has ice cold A;c here in the Ontario salt belt .
You do realize gas vehicles also lose range... your 96 Ford explorer with its incredible mileage is compensating for the lower air density that comes with hot air. You also have to worry about brake pads, rotors and oil changes... society is cooked.
100 or even 110 degrees is no problem for batteries just sitting. It's only when it gets charged or discharged at those ambient temps where additional heat stress happens. Fortunately, in the US at least, most all new EVs have cooling systems in place to deal with this. Teslas and Bolt EVs have been doing hot summers for many years now, and their batteries are doing just fine. Please include actual facts in your news reporting. Thanks!
Only problem is they draw a lot of power even when parked when its that hot. My friend found that out the hard way in the Vegas summer he was golfing and there was no EV charges at that course
Yes we need to also include the facts that Lithium batteries are extremely dangerous spontaneously causing toxic fires that spread fast. Many were just killed in a South Korean factory because one battery sparked a fire just sitting stacked neatly with other batteries. It took 22 hours of water to put that fire out. Lithium batteries are bad for the environment because of these toxic fires and because of everything else they will burn down and also in their disposal. These batteries are also super heavy making these vehicles even heavier than regular gas vehicles…which causes more tire wear…causing tires to have to be replaced sooner which means more tire production….and more road wear which means roads will have to be repaved more often especially if more of these vehicles are on the road. The weight of these vehicles cause more damage in crashes and will end up causing more deaths and more serious injuries.
I would not recommend buying any EV vehicle for the next couple decades. They have limited range, you have to wait a long time for the vehicle to recharge and they are an over priced expensive fire hazard. I will pass on owning an EV and enjoy my gas powered SUV. Shalom
I can run the A/C in my Tesla all day at full blast and only use 5% of my battery. A/C compressors take energy no matter what if you’re running it The A/C in a gas vehicle is consuming range, end of story.
Don't forget most if not all phones have a high temperature shut off. Leaving it to sit in full sunlight for just 15 minutes during the summer could shut it down.
Heat has far less impact on range than cold. The 15 to 30% mentioned in the video is a wild exaggeration. In my experience, it's more like 5 to 10% at the very most, on the very hottest days of summer.
Just drove from Boise thru Utah to Vegas in a Model X last weekend going from upper 90s to 122 and back… didn’t notice any difference honestly. Only annoying thing was fighting rude people for a faster charger in Tremonton Utah
They need to have built-in cooling and proper Heating systems that keep the electric battery that powers the vehicle and gives its range. Cool down in the summer heat and heat during the cold winter
Let's not forget extreme cold weather also. In winter in my city temps are in lower teens and subzero and the rope off the EV charging station whenever temps drop because they get to many abandoned EVs that won't charge in cold temps 😂
Huh? A woman reports she's getting better range in warmer temps!! Does make sense actually. After that, the reporter mentions high temps cause issues bit does not specify what issues!! I would love less sound bite reporting and more scientific reporting. I do know temp extremes cause issues with battery management on the low temp and high temp side. Over 95 F ambient with vehicle usage, battery cooling may kick in and shorten range but I don't know specifics. Chime in if you know.
I think they rush this ev thing a little too fast it takes long to charge it gives problem both cold and hot seasons and with china popping out cheaper quality ev bet u they goung have alot of exploding cars i just think they need to go back to the drawing boards and sort things out
Mine is parked in the sun right now just like it is every day. 60,000 miles on the odometer and not one single problem, not one single service appointment.
Lady in the video claiming better milage is likely wrong. However, heat is generally less of an issue. Most of the problems one hears about are with extreme cold temperatures as mentioned. Still for those with concerns, stick with ICE or hybrid.
Imagine a gas powered car where extreme heat or cold shrunk your gas tank at the same rates as an EV. Then imagine those cars priced an additional 40% more, than the competition….. Now imagine being stupid enough to buy one!!!
LOL!! Did you factor in all the lost time waiting hours for a recharge; tow bills when you didn’t get to a charger before the battery dies; spending hours looking for a charger that works; or, the costs associated with trying to get a charger wired up in your home? And never mind all the costs!! What about the inconveniences? No thanks!! My time is far too valuable to waste trying to keep an EV running with a good charge!!
@@gsleatherworks2442 Hours- FALSE. She was at a fast charger. Towed- like not paying attention to the fuel gauge- okay if one is that is that dense. Cost associated with at charger- The charger is built into the car- can be power by a standard 120-volt outlet. Any other disinformation you would like to air?
Tell me there is never any hours long waiting in line at chargers…. Tell me everyone can wait 24 hrs or more to get a charge using a regular 120v cord charge…. Tell me batteries don’t lose capacity over time…. Tell me how nobody ever is seriously inconvenienced or hurt financially by all the aforementioned “disinformation” aka: FACTS….. Some people who live in very dense urban cities/temperate climates/who never need to travel more than roughly 100 miles at a time, might find ev’s a economic option. Truth is, that’s NOT most of us!!!
@@tarzan343 You must be one of the weirdos, Ev still needs electricity to charge its battery! second, it polluted more after the battery cells gone bad! The weirdo wacki toxic is you!
@@constantbuzz wow, people in Mississippi let the government tell them what they're allowed to drive, and what they're not allowed to drive? not much freedom down there, eh
And using ac in an electric car is energy intensive. So they will be driving around looking for a charger drenched in sweat because I think the car won’t run it below a charge point
@@constantbuzz not only that but I took a very disappointing trip from Huntington Beach to Barstow. We ran low on power the car turned the ac off. We only charged three times (not all the way) and the battery was still 5 percent or less when my friend got home. Total junk
@@RU-vidcensoredmyusername What.? First go look up and understand ohm's law. 5000 watts at any voltage is still the same amount of power because the UOM is watts, which is power. The HVAC in an EV typically operates at the same voltage as the same propulsion battery. Electrical devices powered at high voltage are typically more efficient than the equivalent at low voltage, which is why the propulsion motors are 400 - 800 volts and not 12 - 48 volts. If you are thinking 5000 watts over time, say one hour, that would be 5 KWH. You can do the math on how long such draw can be sustained with knowing the capacity of the battery, however, again, 5KW is typically a very short duration, minutes, not continious when powering on the HVAC.
Screw that lol I'll stick to my gas powered car. Just gas up and u gone instead of waiting hours for ur stupid EV car to charge omg people.and this technology. If it ain't broke don't fix it lol 🤷.
“Don’t let it sit for weeks in the sun” lol I routinely leave my 96 accord outside without driving for a week or more at a time. Once I left it for almost a month outside. Started right up, none of the gas disappeared out of the tank. These EVs are going to be massive stinkers in the second hand market.
Do you guys have amnesia? Gas cars break down in the heat all the time. EVs are here to stay. Get used to it. If you dont like it ok dont buy it. Simple. Stick with your crappy cars. Your choice.
There's a reason the major car makers have rolled back their EV expansion. People aren't interested like they expected, the infrastructure is decades away as current grid can't support a massive switch to EV.
@@constantbuzz not even remotely comparable. That didn't require an entirely new infrastructure and the need to more than double our electrical generating capacity.
@@LSwick-ss6nm False, HVAC for the typically household consumes waaaay more KWHs than an EV over the course of a billing cycle, and never mind commercial properties with large interiors that received HVAC as well. Guess what, grid expansion kept up. Now there are data centers, crypto mining, and others coming online as well. It was, and is a gradual expansion of capacity, not something that went from nothing to everyone in a year. Demand drives growth and economy. Those that say it can't be done are ones you don't want working on your project.
@@constantbuzz I know exactly what HVAC does but again, not even close in scale. Try lookong at the time and money it took to build the infrastructure to support transportation as it is today after the the internal combustion engine was first introduced....decades, not one or even 2. Same thing has to happen now. The electrical grid is already taxed, now add cars, buses, heavy haulers along with thousands upon thousands of miles of wiring. Most of which will have to go underground. Have you looked at all at the amount of natural resources we will have to open face mine.....millions of tons. Large vehicles like tractor trailers currently take far too long to charge after short distances. The supply chain cannot even come close to surviving on EVs. Forget the fact that the batteries don't hold up in extreme heat or cold. So until that is solidly resolved large parts of the country will need fossil fueled transportation. Not happening quickly.
@@LSwick-ss6nm Yes, more heavy haulers, busses, and small EVs will be added, most charged from the grid, but over decades- the grid expansion will keep up because the rate is slow and gradual. The load on the grid goes up ever year. It will cost money, and spending is jobs in infrastructure, and good jobs are part of the economy. EVs do not currently fit every application- people that tow frequently, in cold climates, and in desolate areas, for example, is one that petrol will power for the foreseeable future. Over then next 20 years, 18 wheelers EVs will likely (likely= probably, but not absolute) be local delivery and some minority numbers in medium distance haulers, with long haul still dominated by petrol. Freight trains and shipping will be petrol for a very long time to come. It is the small vehicles that will likely shift away to a majority over the next 20 years. Norway has shown it is doable (majority small vehicle EVs) in the cold with the current tech, and improved tech may come to market- there is certainly a lot of gambles and investment in the R&D. My own experience is about a 20% decrease of range in the 5 to10 degree F cold if the vehicle is kept plugged up when parked- like an ICE should with a block heater. About 10% decrease at 100 degrees F. As far as adoption rate, it will not happen as fast the pro hype groups claim, but is also not the doom the cons claim.
ICE cars overheat in the heat, battery dies, engine overheats, radiators as well. EV Doesnt have that fake claim of 15-30% loss in heat, dude just echoing facebook memes lol
@@HeyItsAvi90 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 most stupidest and delusional comment i've ever read. Go to a middle eastern country and see how they drive ICE cars in over 50 ^C temperatures. ICE cars have no problem driving in extreme weather conditions.
@@LexusIS300Hfalse. Hybrids have all the problems the gas vehicle has plus the added components of a battery electric vehicle. Please explain to me how doubling the component count is going to help with reliability and longevity.
A well designed EV should be able to handle high heat desert conditions. Some of the cheap EV come with air-cooled batteries, and they will fail sooner.
Just wait for solid state batteries which will fix those issues as they are more heat resistant and cold too with proper insulations. Right now, all EVs are running on Lithium.
@@analienfromouterspacedon6 hold your breath on that, this whole charade will be a horrible memory before you ever see the wished for solid state battery.
Tesla model y was the 4th best selling car in the use in 2023 and #1 in sales worldwide. I say it’s ready for prime time. If it wasn’t it wouldn’t be anywhere near the top in sales. You just ignorant.
@@Light23K Ignorant no. Just sick of the aftermath when electric vehicles don't meet customer expectations, when the batteries spontaneously explode, customers getting real mad because the insurance company decides to total out their brand new electric vehicle because in the insurance company's reasoning the bumper repair exceeds value of the vehicle, and getting calls from the epa, osha, and the fire department on why our stock of brand new ev batteries are in a solid concrete building with locked 2 ton doors.
@@jeremiahkuehne2400 Did you notice the redirect? Basically they pushed that EVs have no issue in the heat. Ignored A/C etc., too. And that lady charging was looking at about 150 miles per charge according to the display. 🤣
@@k.chriscaldwell4141 oh lol I was thinking this news piece made EVs look way worse than they actually are. They were sort of dishonest in how they used Recurrent’s info and left out how much less efficient ICE vehicles are in hot weather. EV batteries actually love the hot weather and can achieve a longer range in that 80-85F sweet spot. Above that then the AC use will start to overcome the gains and constantly needing to recool the car after brief stops will lower efficiency, same as in an ICE vehicle. And I think the 150 number you were referring to was actually the charge rate that vehicle was experiencing in kWhs. That vehicle definitely has closer to a 300 mile range, probably closer to 250 in 100 degree weather.
In other words, unless you're a millionaire with disposable cash that can keep all EV garaged stored and hire a porter to wash it so the electronics do not get jacked up, this information is the most viable 😂
I dont get it my model 3 LG works great no matther the weather, sure in winter you male few kilometres less, who cares, car and battery work great. I will never go back to gas car.
