I Ran OUT of CHARGE. Electric Cars are a LIVING HELL WATCH & Learn The TRUE REALITY of EV Ownership as I take a road trip from Ipswich to Nottingham in My Porsche Taycan Electric Vehicle and struggle to find charge points as my car is running drastically low on battery. Here's the truth that the Auto Car Manufacturers won't tell the motorists about EV Ownership. Are Electric Cars the future? Well watch this and you tell me!

Pulled into the petrol station, 5 minutes later left with a 400+ mile range and straight on my way, so simple. EV - NEVER.

What a farce. My £650 car did 1,426 miles in 4 1/2 days last week; it required 3 visits to a petrol station, taking about 5 minutes each time. If you've got 200 miles to do, you don't want to spend an hour or more sightseeing the inside of a Tesco store while your car acquires 30 more miles of range: That's a situation that defines "not fit for purpose".

Yep - under the present circumstances, EVs are really not fit for purpose. High cost of the EV itself, low range, high depreciation, sparse charging network, high cost of charging externally, questionable longevity of the battery.. all these factors make EVs completely uninteresting for private ownership. EVs are mostly leased by companies, rather than being bought by private persons. Companies can write off the costs much better than a private person can, and they obviously don’t need to care about the longevity of the car/battery when the leasing contract lasts only 3 or 4 years..🚗⚡️👎

I have a BMW 440d. It does 64mpg on a run, never does less than 50mpg even around the valleys. It has a range of over 600 miles. It takes around 5 minutes to charge up with diesel and I dont spend my life savings on snacks in service stations or the like as I just keep on trucking. No range anxiety either. I could do without the stress of an EV. They are the biggest motoring scam in history.

600 miles, I guess you do the whole 600 miles in one go right? Not. 59 litres of diesel costs £92 If you bought a BMW EV. The same mileage would cost you less than £8 charging at home' plus you’d have a faster car from the lights. Seriously, just do the maths

I've got the solution. It's been in existence my entire life (I'm 71). Nowadays it's called an ICE. In my case it's a 2006 Nissan Altima. No matter how far I'm going-as soon as the indicator on my dashboard says my fuel is down to half a tank I look out for a gas station. There's always one nearby and I don't need an app or even my iPhone. You can find a good used ICE vehicle near you at an affordable price !

I bought an EV three months ago and it has truly been a nightmare. There is not enough information about the truth of owning an EV, such as the necessity of owning your own home so you can install a Level 2 charger, the fear of going on any kind of trip with the uncertainty of not being sure where chargers are reliably available as well as the fast use of charge when driving. I like to use my heater, my car app. And sometimes even the massager on my seat, and all that will use battery charge. I bought a Tesla adapter for my car in case I’m in a position that the charger I need will not be available. It is never easy to just charge and go, owning an EV is NOTHING like going to a gas station and filling up.

After 20 plus years of running a 1999 astra diesel van I was forced to buy another vehicle because of ulez and also the engine on the van gave out and it was scrapped. many people told me to but an EV van, so I thought about it a while, AND I eventually bought a lovely Skoda estate 1.4 tsi petrol car. WEll the car is fantastic, great range about 300 on a tank costs about 66 quid, and I always carry 5 0r 10l in cans for work anyway. I am SO SO SO glad I did not buy an EV, it would have been a nightmare. I clock all the ev charging station where I live and they are normally all full with tom dick and harry charging up. Takes me 4 or 5 mins to fill with petrol and I get Nectar points as well ! Have fun waiting for a spare ev charging station. Kind Regards Graham Tarling. Great video by the way. Well Done.

Also the carbon footprint of extracting the lithium and other metals needed to make the batteries are horrendous. Meaning they are awful for the environment. Similar to when ethanol was added to gasoline (petrol) to be more green. Turns out ethanol is more harmful to the environment than petrol is. Similar situation with electric vehicles, your not helping the environment, your making the rich richer

To produce an EV makes about 26 tons of carbon emissions, that is before the disposal of the car at the end of its life !

I've been driving an ev for aboitv2byears as a personal car and 4 years delivering them all over the country to people that have brought/leased them. I have never had an issue charging. For my own car I charge at home about times a week (60 mile round trip to work!) Because that's all I need to do. When my partner and I go on holiday in the UK we go in my EV rather than her mini and even on 5hr trips to Cornwall (we live 30 miles north of London) I've never had a problem, I plan any long trips which takes 5 mins and always make sure I have a back up charger to stop at if the first one is broken. The stops are alway welcome anyway for a toilet break and a coffee so it really isn't a big deal. Also when we get where we are staying 99% of the time if its a hotel they will have chargers available or will let u plug in the granny (very slow) charger so I genuinely believ e that most videos like this are exaggerated to make EVs look bad. Yes I agree if you can't charge at home then I certainly wouldn't have one, but if u can they really are a no brained... its saved me around £100+ a week on fuel and that's not to be sniffed at plus my insurance went down by severl hundred pounds not to mention no road tax... why wouldn't I have one in that situation?

It seems the moral of owning an ev at the present time is 1) expect to lose an hour or more of your day looking for a charger and charging it up. If I had a ton of money I would definetly have a tesla with the full home charging kit and home battery system and just do return runs within the range of the vehicle, but I don't and that is the economic position of the masses. It seems like these ev's are just a ploy to get rid of all other vehicles and have us riding around on push bikes.

The running of an EV is a problem that will only get worse as more people buy them. However I think the main problem is that very few people will be able to afford one and the worry of battery replacement price will put off the second hand buyers. So in my opinion EV cars are a way of getting the poorer motorists off the roads making for a better driving experience for the more well off car owners. You don’t hear anything about Bio diesel anymore because they can’t tax used vegetable oil.

I am a mechanic. An industrial mechanic. I work on electric machines all day long. I have worked on golf carts, and many of the electric fork lifts and lifts of different kinds, they are all the same concept. In an enclosed area you can't run propane or diesel machines without the exact proper ventilation, so many of the heavy lifting machine are electric. They are basically huge batteries with a motor and an hydraulic pump. Logistically, the same as an EV. I had listened to all of the hype about EV's in the past, about how the "major car companies killed" the EV. They don't kill it, it was a suicide. The concept has been around for well over 100 years. Tesla, (the REAL Tesla the actual genius) invented the induction motor in 1887, so the tech was around and it was the first form of engine that was considered for what eventually became cars. The limitations are the same today as they were then, batteries stink! They are getting better, but hey are still limited. How do you get them to last longer? You make them bigger. Sorry, that's the answer. And yeah, sodium, blah blah blah, rust, blah blah blah, they are all limited and very expensive! They are limited in what they can and cannot do. The are limited by temperature. They are limited by size and weight. They are big, and the power does not last long. EV's are not the solution to a problem. They are an entirely new, bunch of problems. Best of luck to all of you out there that just can't stand the truth, because it will cost you!

I love watching Lee's video's, such a down to earth fella, much more real world demonstrations of the issues we have with EV's. I'd love the performance of one, but the infrastructure to support mass take up is decades away. I love his 'greater good' angle too - yep, moving the pollution from the vehicle to a power plant somewhere out of sight is still not saving the planet. Keep up the good work MacMaster, keep on refusing to allow The Borg to assimilate you :)

EVs aren't all bad. They seem to be marvellous at unpredictably heating the outdoors and other cars/your home/shops/CARPARKS at virtually the speed of light and can crisp your bacon for your butties in milliseconds! Getting out of your EV fast, should it catch fire whilst driving it, appears hit or miss. I recently read that some poor bloke resorted to smashing his window to get out, of his burning car, as like the MacMaster - he could not open the door. Thankfully he was successful. Terrifying!!!!

I suffer from anxiety, no way I'm getting an EV at the moment. I remember one year being stuck behind a pile up on the motorway during snowy ice weather it was freezing. You'd think the parking time limits wouldn't apply to EV's needing to charge, also the chargers would be on sat nav to easily find the bloody things. Charging it up was "cheap" but the associated drink and food and your free time, made it quite costly, glad you made it home!

The future is this: New combustion tech that has... 6000 mile range on 60 gallons of Ethanol (E100), 100 MPG HWY, 170 MPG City. or 8400 miles on gasoline, 140 MPG HWY, 210 City. 95-100% brake recovery. Three pedals. 1 gas, 1 friction brake, 1 compressor braking (recovery). Engine system captures CO2 (and water) to recycle back into fuel at home for ~$1/gallon. Car is a heat pump of sorts that can torque a wheel. COP 4. That means you can have 4 units of heat for every unit of input fuel. 1 gal Ethanol (25 kwh) = 100 kwh of heating. Use engine in house system (not part of car) and cut Nat Gas bill by 75% without any solar thermal or PV. Add in solar thermal and fuel making and you are independent from grid and big oil. No way with Electric junk due to battery costs. No drive battery or electric drive motor needed, but can run on electricity via thermal cycle of this new combustion engine. The CO2 for RE fuel = 1% of gasoline and 200 times less than EV on 100% RE. Basically, an EV is 300 gCO2/kwh for battery use and 300 for 100% RE grid for a total of 600 gCO2/kwh. Combustion of RE fuel has zero battery and 3 gCO2/kwh for fuel making machines and house engine system. 600/3=200 times MORE CO2 for EV. Game over folks... Combustion Fire risk. The captured CO2 and water in the car puts out a car fire. Yes, the car puts out its own fire automatically via the crash system. The engine also supplies the compressed air for the airbags/crash protection without use of nasty chemicals like Sodium Azide. EV fire risk is unstoppable. YOU DIE if you can't get out, with NO way to stop the fire. A friend of mine recently was MURDERED by a Tesla fire...burned to carbon black. New Combustion Tech lasts 60 years and 900,000 miles, and can be serviced by an 83 IQ person (minimum the military requires). EVs? LOL...Like servicing a cell phone. No chance...or costly beyond insanity. So, there you have it. The future is combustion and RE fuels. Old ICE cars can run on RE fuels while using 4x more energy and still 2.2 times less CO2 than an EV in life cycle. EVs are OBSOLETE. BTW, yes, 0-60 in 2-3 seconds for all vehicles...

We do it when we shop, go to the cinema, park the car, visit a theme park, use park and ride facilities, stay at a hotel... We charge when it's convenient and we can often do it for FREE.

I do enjoy your videos for the entertainment factor. I’m EV agnostic and I still run a “dirty diesel” so have no particular axe to grind. I do think you make it difficult for yourself by not using an app like ABRP (a Better Route Planner). I used it simulate your journey from Ipswich to Mansfield with an initial 16% SOC. One charge for 24 mins (to 76% SOC) at Shell Recharge at Norwich Rd, Ipswich would of got you back to Mansfield with 11% (I have assumed the Tycan RWD 93KWh), in a total time of 2 hours 30 mins (traffic permitting). I do take your point about availability and reliability of chargers, so this assumes one was free and operational! You say you love your Tycan (in between saying you hate it), and in another video, wouldn’t swap it for a petrol Boxster, so if you want to enjoy all the benefits of an EV, which you have acknowledged, I’m afraid you will have put up with the quirks and inconveniences of the current state of the infrastructure. Do yourself a favour and plan a little - it will save you a lot of unnecessary stress!
