German EV subsidies SLASHED after Court ruling | MGUY Australia 

Subsidies is taking tax money from people who can't afford a expensive EV , and giving to rich people who can afford an EV. The poor Subsidizing the rich .

Subsidies is not free money. It has to come from somewhere. If EV cars are worth the price, let the buyer pay it.

My electricity bill has gone from £40 a month to £118 in only a few short years all because of green subsidies. The less well of having to cut back of heating or eating so the rich can virtue signal how much they care, when they do not give a damn.

Without subsidies none of this nonsense 🎉 would have ever got off the ground.

The month after business EV subsidies and incentives were scrapped, EV sales dropped 18% in Germany. Says it all, really.

“Giving power and money to politicians is like giving car keys and beer to teenagers “

The push for EV is really a push to get us out of cars entirely.

You know that there is something wrong if you have to be bribed by the government to buy something new that, even after the bribe, is not cost effective when compared to the old thing.

Too many natural disasters in Australia to risk an EV.. not to mention the country is far to big for an EV to be useful...

If it is subsidised it is NOT A VIABLE BUSINESS.

The subsidies are literally poor tax payers subsidising rich people who can already afford an EV. It’s disgusting.

"Faster than a lithium battery in thermal runaway" LMAO. 🤣🤣🤣 Stolen for future use.

I’m happy to see it’s happening somewhere, even if it’s not here in Canada. Our Eco-Zealots are plowing ahead and showing no sign of faltering, it’s only because they haven’t run out of other people’s money. The money they are spending now doesn’t exist, it will be earned in the future by the children of today.

Germany had a 50 Euro pass per month for all public transportation in the country. if they wanted to further cut emissions, they could have kept the nuclear plants on, why they wasted money on this EV crap is beyond me.

I have 4 good friends of mine who've bought EVs, (Teslas). Each of them are self employed, and their MAIN reason for buying them was for tax break reasons. Nothing else.

A work colleague (Qld, Australia) recently bought an MG (Chinese EV) and it cost only $34k AUD but I then found out that that's the price after deducting the $6k subsidy provided by the Qld State Government. Sad that the taxes of ordinary people go towards huge subsidies of something we had no say in. I would much rather that money go toward our hopelessly overwhelmed health system (due to uncontrolled immigration). Not only that but another mate travelled north recently in his EV and it only cost him a small amount in recharge fees because there are several recharging places along the way that are free. Free, well free for the EV owner but paid for by local councils. Once again I ask, who gave councils the right to spend ratepayers money on giving free electricity to EV owners? I'm convinced that EVs wouldn't be a viable option without the subsidies paid for by others.

Australia's EV subsidies end on 1 January 2024. Prepare to make a video on how EV sales have collapsed in January.

The Sauerkrauts did the same crazy subsidisation with solar panels, in a country VERY unsuited to solar electricity generation.

Always been the case, if EVs are as good as claimed , people would be only to happy to go and buy without bribes .

Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer a German specialist for the auto industry that was pushing for EVs, has posted on Linkedin saying that he was wrong about EVs, it's good we still have ICE cars.

If we wanted to be _greener_ wouldn't we want more CO2 in the atmosphere? After all, the more the plants and trees grow, the more CO2 they sequester.

Looking at the cradle to grave life cycle of lithium batteries no one in their right mind can call them "green".

Keep up the great work! Enjoy your broadcast. There are virtually no EVs here in the Philippines. I couldn't be more happier.

I like the way that you present the facts as it is and don't dwell too much on the negativity of EVs in general. This is what gets EV users on "defense mode" instead of understanding the points being raised.

As a German I wish that German mainstream media would ever bring the facts about EV vehicle as clear and effective as you do. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Good decision. When their industry is in dire need of electric power, the last thing they want is more EVs.

my classic Volvo can beat any EV around Australia.

That sixty billion Euros should be returned to the taxpayers where it could really do some good and also stimulate the economy. Politicians are the same the world over and not in a good way.

I love when the EV flops use the horse and cart argument. The difference is that the motor vehicle destroyed the horse and cart in every possible way. There was zero down side. EV shit boxes are just compromises and inconveniences on steroids.

Imagine a car that can be controlled remotely... Happy motoring!

There is another problem I spotted yesterday. I bought a new petrol car in 2017. That car new has nearly doubled in price since, presumably as a result of Government bullying over how many ICE vehicles a manufacturer is allowed to sell and also making EVs appear more 'competitive'.

Great channel and some much needed sanity in these EV crazed times

Governments will soon be extending timeframes for net zero, extending timeframes for ICE vehicles, and I find it astonishing that the car industry has moved so swiftly to manufacturing EV’s because I have little doubt that in the back of their minds they are thinking….we may be going in the wrong direction here.

Anything which needs a bribe to get you to buy it obviously isn't good enough in the first place. In the UK private sales of ev's are way down, business fleet users as a tax dodge are nowhere near hitting their targets. We have got used ev's sitting on forecourts for months not selling and in our car auctions they get an ev go through it week after week after week getting cheaper and cheaper until it is worth fuck all and still struggling to sell it. At busy times we have got people waiting up to 6 hours in shit hole carparks and it's getting worse all the time not better. It's almost as if people are starting to realise sitting in a shit box on wheels in a shitty carpark for hours while their life fades away isn't alot of fun. The infrastructure in the UK will never be good enough to make it successful. To give you an idea of our infrastructure the first mobile phone in the uk was 1985. We are a small country and we still haven't got a reliable phone signal across the country on any network, it's so pathetic we can't even get a consistent signal in just one small county, you only have to go a few miles from any town or city and the signal will drop out. That's 38 years with over 85 million active phone contracts and we still can't get a bloody reliable phone signal on any network, they are twatting about trying to sort out 5g. I just want a normal fucking phone signal to work. Anyone who thinks we will be able to roll out and be able to power thousands of public and domestic chargers are living in a fucking dream world. Our latest big project was a new train called HS2 and it's been a total fuck up massively over budget and they have ended up stopping short of where it was supposed go to and from 😂 EV's the future my arse. Never in the uk anyway, we haven't even started building all the new nuclear power stations we will need and that's before we start adding all the electric heatpumps they are trying to force onto us.

that's it - "eventually run out of other people's money". EVs are spoilt and contribute nothing to the roads they drive on.

Here in NZ they are bringing in road user charges for EVs, which is pay by km.

About 46% of the electricity in Germany comes from renewable sources. That still requires a lot of burning of fossil fuel.

I love the term “Green Hole” that is 100% spot on, brilliant vid. I refuse to being pushed to an EV, Hydrogen yes but waiting hours to charge an EV no, waiting in a queue for a charger no, plus how many explode and are covered up, I will stick with me petrol beast for now.

The green socialism seems to have reached it's limit. EV's are not near as attractive or competitive without the government rebates, otherwise known as our tax dollars, if at all.

Same here in Sweden, in Iceland EVs and hybrids will pay km tax to pay for using the roads and gasoline and Diesel tax will be cut and ICE cars will pay lower km tax...

I’m glad you did your bit for the environment today M-Guy! You recycled/repurposed………………my favourite Maggie Thatcher quote! 😁

Im so glad i found this channel this year. Thanks for all your good work Simon. I really like what your doing and the way you go about it. all the best for 2024.

Germany has delivered a new package of military aid to Ukraine that includes shells, drones, and vehicles, the government in Berlin said in a statement. It said the new package included 10 Vector reconnaissance drones, 1,750 artillery shells, 70 grenade launchers, six patrol cars, and eight trucks, as well as 100,000 military first-aid kits. Germany is second only to the United States in terms of military aid provided to Kyiv. Last month, Germany pledged a further 1.3 billion euros ($1.42 billion) in military aid for Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. So clearly they are not broke. It's just a matter of who they think needs the money???

Mrs Thatcher had another saying relevant to this topic: 'You can't buck the market.' Separate issue. In the UK we've had severe storms for days with strong winds. There are videos on RU-vid showing the sails being completely blown off the wind turbines, and destroyed. Luckily no one was hurt.

In Germany you can use subsidy to offset the price of leasing an EV. So you could have an EV for 2 to 4 years for practically nothing. Of course once the 2-4 years were up - no one wanted them - as no one wanted to make payments themselves. So these ex-lease cars then hit the secondary market - flooding it. This is why in Germany 2 to 4 year old VW ID.3's are selling at 50% to 70% off there original purchase price.

If they made an EV that would last a million miles without any issues, would charge in 5 minutes and would travel 1,000 miles per charge, and no fire danger, I might consider one..

The bureaucrats should have their salaries docked to make up the shortfall.

If there is any country in the world that highlights the range issues of EV's it is Germany. With long motorways, no speed limit and people really driving hundreds of Miles in one stretch, EVs can simply not keep up and are relegated to the slow lane where they have to ingest the Diesel fumes of the caravan of trucks.

Their laundering scheme was halted

GM & Ford halting EV production put a smile on my face

I live in Germany and am glad to say that this News doesn’t affect me (directly). I do, however, lease a Toyota self charging hybrid with which I am quite happy but have just received Notice that my Annual Insurance Premium has increased by €140. Not exactly what I was expecting but I can only surmise that even Toyota are unsure about Battery Fires. Up til now I have never heard anything negative about Self-Charging Hybrids. t the Age of 79 buying a new Car is out of the Question (even though I live out in the „Sticks“). Nevertheless, I‘m going to hang onto my Merc C Class 2.7 Diesel Estate. Happy New Year.

People on a million quid a week don't look at energy bills, they just pay them

Porsche, a leading company in synthetic fuels has no plans to top petrol engine production anytime soon. The German govt. have written in a 'get out clause' in which vehicles using synthetic fuels can be sold after 2035. The EV is a big scam. Anyone noticed the 'simultaneous' push for EV's across the world? No acccident.

The german plan was to end the incentive plan by end of December 2024 . But they were forced to end it at the 17th December 2023. Hurrray🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great to hear some really positive news on the ev saga

This wont be good for EV

Big depreciation, people will not buy cars, they will rent, big depreciation, corps will stop buying cars, renting stops, no personal transport. And people vote for that...

Good result - that would be bait & switch! How about they returned it to the TAXPAYERS?!! Imagine a C-19 dividend - bit of compensation for the Nightmare they've caused. Imagine - people might actually have enough to buy a new car of whatever type they preferred!!

And from what I understand , even if you already have an EV order placed , you will still not get the subsidy.

The EV charging infrastructure is largely being paid for by hapless taxpayers. When did governments ever build petrol stations and refineries?

New Zealand has also just canceled the EV subsidy.

Germany also has energy problems to deal with ..the charging of EV's would be a disaster

Maybe someone should check to see if the $64 billion is even still there.

When I see someone driving an EV I think of those idiots wearing a mask while alone in their car - total sheep.

Sanity at last. I hope other eu countries follow suit.

If someone would invent a car running on lies, well, it would be cheap to run and run forever, spewing out the truth in the atmosphere:) But it would get banned.

C02 makes all of the plants grow better... C02 is not a problem in the first place.

Norway uses north of 30 billion NOK on the NET0 madness in the national budget, but the real number is probably a lot higher if you count in every tax credit and incentive given to the NET0 scam. Even with the EV tax credits given, an EV is still higher in price compared to same size car.

I’ve always wanted a Tesla but the climate here is already burning hot.🥵

Windmils in Scotland have been connected to huge diesel heaters to de ice them.

Nobody seems to ever talk about the fact that passengers in these spontaneous combustion machines are sitting on a huge battery that is blasting EMF inside a metal cage along with the internal electronics packed along with it, all also emitting EMF. EVs are practically Human microwaves, and apart from a niche and novelty market, they are not green by any stretch nor are there any cost savings, the opposite of both being the true state of these corporate government self-destructing control modules.

Agreed with Ken who just texted, when are those EV buyers going to pay their fair share of highway road use taxes? maybe even retro taxes, all those back taxes they didn’t pay, we pay taxes upfront at the pump, been paying since age 16 now 67 that’s 51 years paying at the pump!

In the uk due to generous subsidies we have seen company car up take go up 54% a market readjustment as we return to around 1,000,000 company cars (it has dropped to around 700,000). EV sales have increased due to this demand but have only risen from 15% to 16% market share. The private unsubsidised sector is still slow with ever increasing unsold second hand BEVs piling up. The number of unsold Taycans has risen from 202 in January to 670 in December.

Great news, why shld we pay for fools gold

Right at 100 years ago my Grandfather bought his first automobile, a 1920s something Model T Ford. Up to that point he had relied on horses for personal transportation, and mules to pull wagons and plows. It DIDN'T take a Government subsidy to convince him to buy the Model T, he bought it because he felt it was better than a horse.

Amazing 1: it took an Aussie to point me towards what´s happening at home Amazing 2: as much as I disagree with The Iron Lady but Your quote is right on the money. Happy New Year Mate!

Germany are smart and end that madness and conman musk scam

The question is if it's a global problem then why does Germany have solar panels when if they where used in Australia the same panels would generate up to 6 times the power output.

Anything that requires "Subsidies'' to sell isn't worth buying in the 1st place!

A great quote from an electrician who has been fitting home chargers for EV's and how disgruntled many had become.... One of our customers who went back to an ice car came up with a great analogy of owning an EV, - He said owning it was like cutting one of your hands off to make you completely change your lifestyle ; adding more stress and hassle to your life then trying to convince other people what a great idea it is as he has only got to purchase one glove

The dancing puppeticians and their masters are too blind to realise their follies.

When do we get to see the lovely Simpsonesque radioactive green we are apparently pursuing? Happy New Year everyone

Absolutely love listening to this intelligent gentleman. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦👍

I'm in my 70's, I've been turning wrenches on trucks, cars, motorcycles and boats since 1969... I told everyone I speak to... Not to buy any EV transportation for years... Real world vehicles, too many things happen to them, EV's are Not Safe..! CrazyHorse Speed Shop USA

The financial situation in Germany is what killed the subsidies to EVs. If these subsidies were to be stopped due lack of money or court rulings, then so should other subsidies as well as it is using tax payers money for stuff we/they also do not have a say in.

German government seems to be smarter than I thought. They understood there was no need for more nurses. Now they are made to understand there's no need for EVs. I'm amazed by their display of reason. Governments never seem to do that.

Great news for logic and reason.

We would like to thank you for all your hard work keeping the world on top of this E V mess up front .

I propose the renaming of The Green Hole to The Brown Hole!

Happy New Year

If they fully revoke the EV subsidies, affecting the manufacturers, then the real price of EVs will be revealed to be DOUBLE the current price. This is why if you buy a brand new EV and for some reason need to replace the battery right away, you find out the battery replacement alone costs more than you just paid for the car. How is this possible? It's because there's a hidden subsidy to the EV manufacturers that comes from the taxpayers, again. You're already paying for half of the production cost of each EV, even if you never buy one yourself.

I'm on team "neither". Here in the western USA, the number of vehicles and traffic has made all major cities horrible.

The powerhouse of Europe is struggling because of the sudden loss of cheap energy due to NS1and NS2 mysteriously blowing up. Hmmm I wonder what happened there, 🤔

People who can afford premium and luxury electric cars don’t need my hard-earned tax money to fund their electric dreams.

Thank you for connecting the dots on the two main bamboozles we are currently enduring, the E and the G of ESG. Great channel, subbed, keep it up 👏

We need this ruling to happen in Australia as of YESTERDAY!!!

Good to see! What will it take for governments the world over to wake up to the nonsense that is listening to a Swedish schoolgirl about the so-called climate emergency, and net zero?

GREAT WORK KEEP IT UP WITH ALL THE INFORMATION!!!

4000 pounds seems a drop in the bucket compared to what you are in for if you lose your sanity and buy a EV!

It works out at £17 a gallon at this moment in time,and climbing rapidly,it’s just ridiculous,and for the first time in a very long time an advertisement of a new 5ltre jag was shown on British TV last week
