I rEVeal the SHOCKING COST of CHARGING an ELECTRIC CAR compared to PETROL & DIESEL! 

Brilliant. Formatting is perfect too.

But hybrids are only economic around town up to 30mph, (twenty mph in Wales). Petrol engine kicks on the open road, and averages about 36mpg overall. If that fire at Luton airport started with an ev (or possibly hybrid Range Rover) the future ev market may nosedive. Vauxhall workers at Ellesmere Port will feel the pinch.

@@davidk3729 I have a hybrid Ioniq, the battery still kicks in and out at 70mph - it routinely gets 60mpg+ on a long motorway journey. Actually to be honest it's often a bit better than city driving, I think I'm a bit heavy footed! Assume you have a different experience with yours?

@@davidk3729 not true mate. My RAV4 Hybrid does 5.0 L / 100 around town and 5.2 L / 100 on the Highway.

There is no point in comparing charging costs unless you are comparing like for like vehicles. The closest comparable vehicle to a Porsche Taycan is the Panamera, which costs approx 26p per mile at average UK petrol price and more at motorway services prices. As the Taycan can average 3.5 miles to the kWh in the real world, you would have to pay 91p a kWh at the charger to be more expensive than the Panamera.

Not as salty as MacMaster though eh ! - lol

My flats won't let you park them in the underground carpark due to not being able to insure against fire

Hysterical nonsense based on misinformation and scaremongering pushed by the oil lobby. I recently got a quote online for a Tesla Model 3, and numerous insurers offered me policies with no added restrictions because it was electric. The same goes for house insurance. There may be one or two outliers that don't, as there may be one or two ferry companies overreacting, but when you consider there are already numerous ferries using battery electric drive trains regularly used by EV owners, it's another false narrative. BEVs are far less likely to catch fire than ICEVs, and much publicised large car fires have been found not to have been caused by EVs, despite much speculation to the opposite. An expected 10 million BEVs and a further 4 million PHEVs will be sold this year, and millions of those will be shipped around the world on car carriers, yet the international union of marine insurers do not consider there is an additional risk. If they are not worried, why should you be?

Thats v8 fuel prices

YOU MEAN MPG?

At least 50 percent of UK electricity is renewable now. Most of the materials for batteries are recyclable and if you have issues with CARS being built, stop driving one. What part of the thousands of gallons of oil that you burn is recyclable and while my car gets cleaner every year, your car gets dirtier?

It's 100% true

I think if someone's been mugged into buying an ev abuse is the easiest way to hide their embarrassment .😂

It's very rare we get 50% electric from renewables, the majority of the time it's less than 20%. National grid say around 35% then it also gets topped up with nuclear. That's how the government twist the statistics to make it look like over 50% they don't class nuclear as fossil fuels so they sneak it in with renewable figures to try to make it look better than it is. It's a load of bullshit with manipulated data. If EV's were good enough they wouldn't have to ban petrol and diesel cars. If they were good enough they wouldn't need to force people into them.

Obviously😂

I imagine so like most batteries. Especially in cold conditions.

No. No issue unless someone has things like sentry mode enabled, keeps checking security cameras or has an app that keeps waking the car.

@@djtaylorutube All batteries go flat over time.

Batteries invariably run out, used or not.

Batteries for cordless tools will lose charge when they are in the tool doing no work . I've found DeWalt are the worst for this issue...

Do you think Viagra was invented for Tesla drivers.

Why do you think a Tesla has an interior camera and dogging mode? Live streaming of course! 😅

It was a DEISIEL

@@tommytinkler1708 erm that's not the same as 3.5k really.

@@john_dxI did 😂

Plus you wouldn't need to replace the engine and transmission every 8-10 years. You know if EV makers are offering an 8 year warranty they will be toast after ten years, warranties always run out before they are desperately needed.

@@rbnhd1144 I have a hybrid and it's 11 years old. The batteries are rated at 89% good. BYD rate their batteries for 500,00 KM still so this "the batteries need to be replaced" is a nonsense.

@@rbnhd1144 I must have been lucky with my MX5, it came with a 3 year warranty and I kept it for 8 years!

ha ha please say that is true and not a joke!

@suecharnock9369 was in works van it is true 👍

Its not bullshit, its a well orchestrated scam and grift. Even battery production worth 5 years of driving petrol pollution. Nobody asks about battery recycling issue, it will come up for sure and likely will add to a cost of a new vehicle too, increasing the lost value for the first owner. And then average grid electro production creates more pollution per mile than a petrol car. Those coal and gas firing plant don’t have the catalytic converters.

You made some calculation errors. Remember, you need to compare apples to apples with the cars. He's driving a Porsche EV so the ICE equivalent would be the 911 turbo which averages 27km/gal (combined city/hwy) or 7km/litre. To go 70 km the 911 would need 10 litres at $3.4AUD/litre or $34AUD, so $15 cheaper for the same distance in the EV at the most expensive charger. I think you used the price for premium petrol in Australia instead of using the cost in the UK (1.8 pounds/litre in the UK or $3.4 AUD/L)

@@raa729 No, the CO2 emissions from building an EV (including the battery) takes 12-15 months of driving to break even. After that it depends on the source of the electricity as to what the actual CO2 generation is (and fossil fuel electric plants produce less CO2 than the equivalent amount of energy used in an ICE car). BTW, power plants have CO2 scrubbers which significantly reduce CO2 output. As for battery recycling the batteries are broken down to the basic components and the metals are reused to make new batteries. However just because the battery is no longer suitable for a car doesn't mean it doesn't have other uses. Old batteries are reconditioned and put back into cars. Partially depleted batteries are often used in fork lifts (remember, the batteries are made up of modules), robots, storage batteries for solar homes (a battery not suitable for the car can still proved 50kWh or more which is enough to power a house for several days). So sorry to burst another false bubble for you.

Apart from all that Sue, what have the romans ever done for us lol Sorry it’s a Monty python reference Great points though

Leave it parked at work 😮

Brake system? What's that about?

Then don't buy an electric car, contrary to what the government tells us petrol will not disappear as getting rid of them won't obviously work.

​@Lookup2WakeupI'm sure not one would vandalise the cord.

Why is that. because before you posted a comment that makes you look like a stupid idiot. You would have been aware of the government grants that cover the cost to install charging points for flats

😂😂😂

The original milk float will do more miles per charge ❌.

Criticism of EVs and Net Zero will doubtless be termed as hate speech after the next election.

There is no way this channel would be shut down. If you were not so gullible you would see all the lies that are told

My sentiments exactly mate

Exactly,I don't understand why some people have a problem with the truth,if lea didn't have an ev fair enough,he has and is saying what the reality is of owning one,good on him I say.

What Lee is proving is that travelling salesman shouldn't have a Taycan as their vehicle . . .

@oneeyedgirl617 what Lee is highlighting is the cost,the lack of charges,the time it takes to charge,anxiety of not finding a charger in time,price of a new battery,risk of setting on fire,the way they decrease in value,this is the truth.

@carolkiteley9273 He does it for clicks. To engage those who are anti ev (you) and those who have an EV and know they are nowhere near as bad as he makes out (me). All the anti EV press do the same. They misinform, and some things are downright false. Yes, they do not suit everyone (no driveway, daily long motorway driving) but they, and the infrastructure, will get better. And within a few years, they won't make ICE anymore

Well my EV is absolutely fit for my purpose, be it local journeys, day trips of 100-180 miles or a few days driving around North York Moors. In 4000 miles so far I’ve not queued at a charger, nor failed to charge when I needed to. My monthly cost per mile has been between 1p and 7p depending how much public charging I’ve used, solar panels are great. The car is quiet and comfortable and even after a long journey I don’t feel tired. They may not suit everyone but to me they’re great.

And also in order to preserve the EV's residual value - they have to praise them as much as possible so they can get as much as they can for their "Lemon" of a car.

That would be really bad if we all used high priced rapid chargers on motorways all the time, but we don't.

Costs me less than £8 to charge my nitro from home and does 260 miles in real world. In a petrol would cost about £25 to get 260 miles. So I'm finding electric cars alot cheaper

i fail to see the relevance of you charging at home compared to somebody on a road trip and having to recharge.

and if you need to charge on a road trip? do you use a rapid charge of wait hours?

@@TrevM0nkeyDepends. I can wait hours when the charger is at my destination. If a rapid, the car is generally ready before I am.

LMAO you are ridiculous!!!!!! Well if you don't like them don't get one, period.

Your ICE is at least 20 times more likely to catch fire, you sucker.

There a ticking time bomb !!

230 EV total loss fires in The past calendar year for less than 1 million cars. But if the ice figures were as costly the insurance premiums would be higher on ice. My Z4 is a tenth of the price that it will cost Lee to insure his Taycan £210 for me £3200 for Lee.

Silly sausage

Because that trip would cost me £10 😂

why compare a diesel transit with a Porsche? Makes zero sense.. Mind you I guess you driving a taxi means you'll never get a Porsche so I guess you don't have a choice ! 😂

You don’t care about the diesel emissions, then?

£6.75 cost to do 300 miles, zero time to fuel up.

I GOT PAID 34p to charge my citroën Ami with 46 miles of range.

@@DiscoDesW I got paid 34p to charge my citroën Ami last night, admittedly only 46 miles of range, but cheaper than free.

I wonder what the write off price would have been on a year old electric car, do they still use Glass guide ?

They’ve been hypnotised 😵‍💫

My husband works for bmw and his garage no longer take any electric cars on px! He get loads of people trying to offload their Tesla’s etc and they walk away in tears at the sheer amount of money they’ve lost since buying the ev 😂😂

Please tell me sir, WHY is it called a, 'milk float'? Thank You and regards.

@@tpv59 Google 60's electric milk floats , it's only taken them 60 years to turn them into a car 🤣

Absolute nonsense, I have an MG5 that you could obtain for about £16,000 and is a highly practical and dirt cheap to run car. A ExciTe version with a few miles could be £13,000.

An EV is by far the best choice but only if you have your own driveway, my weekly mileage is around 200miles, that costs £3.50 using my octopus EV tariff, plus the car is always the perfect temperature & fully defrosted in winter when I get in it, also get over the air software updates & my only service is topping up the windscreen washers.

@@evostu7814 Some people have other options such as charging at work, that's going to become far more common to the point of being expected. Basically, chargers where people park. Yup, you don't need to sell an EV to me, I was converted years ago. Speaking of windscreen washer top up - I knew there was something I needed to do, ta!

Right!

That kinda happened in California, they slowed down the power available leaving people in the lurch.

It was a DEISIEL

Regardless of what vehicle started the fire, having EVs in the mix greatly accelerates the fire's uncontrollable propagation. Legislation needs to get ahead of that before the percentage of EVs turns every car park fire into a massive unmitigated disaster by how quickly battery fires can spread from one pack to the next or burn their way through the floor into the next level down. No matter what burnt first, parking garages need stronger sprinkler systems to prevent damage to structures by intense battery fires, cut down the heat to surroundings, tack down some of the toxic fumes and add more spacing between vehicles to slow down propagation.

That's a damn good question. I have seen it in a couple of places in europe, but in general it isn't. More problematically, you can pay dramatically different rates at a given charger depending on which app you use to pay for the charge. Whilst i have an EV and like it a lot, i completely agree that the whole charging network setup is awful.

Dunno, I feel superior filling 85l of 100 octane int my v8 biturbo laughing at scrooges in EVs who will end up paying more anyway while having a bad experience along the way

Only Tesla are swingers

But your car has still lost a fortune in depreciation and you’ll need new batteries 🪫

@@Tube-Shots Actually not. It’s still worth about 75% of what I paid for it 3 years ago. But that’s cos I don’t live in the uk, where car depreciation has always been crazy. And I have no expectations of needing to pay for batteries. The battery has an 8 year warranty, and I fully expect it will last beyond 10 years.

Some places in the United States are raising registration fees to make up for lost revenue from EVs: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0mKkCdfGXsc.html

@@mikebreen2890 oh look its the man whos never owned an ev! back to troll me again? if the first year ved is based on vehicle value and the second year it resumes normal service that will still make my road tax cheaper on my hybrid than an electric vehicle as mine has a c02 rating so my car is £0 and the all electrics will be £180 .... i think that fair to be honest considering they damage the road more than my car 🤣

£10 of electricity takes me about 8.5 seconds and gets me 433 miles.

​@@crumbschief5628- I'm a Tesla fan boy but that comment is just daft.

@@adamcarter699 So here's the maths: 3.7 miles per kWh 4.5 hours/night off peak @ 7.5p kWh 11kwh home charger £10 / £0.075 = 133kwh of charging. 133kwh / 11kw = 12 hours charging Button on dash to open charging port Distance between charging port and charger is 18 inches Takes me about 2.5 seconds to... Oh sorry typo.. 3 charges at 2.5 seconds is 7.5 seconds, but I also have to unplug 3 times.. that's 15 seconds... Standing around not 8.5 seconds really sorry but I do a lot of miles and love how much time the EV saves me.

Me too

I am in a band, I've just driven up to Newcastle on Tyne from Derby, but I had to a wait for a band member to come to me from the south, then pick up 2 members in Sheffield so making a round trip of 374 miles at a cost of £80 in diesel plus we had to have one short stop for lunch each way. Not bad for a 2011 Renault Trafic with 5 people and group gear. Bands do not have the time to waste spending valuable travelling time charging EVs. Tours don't always mean travelling short distances between gigs, the worst was Ilfracombe to Bolton for the next day's gig!!! It took over 6 hours with queues on M5 and M6. For us EVs are not viable just on time alone.

Was a hybrid apparently

My 13 year old audi A3 diesel gets 650 miles on 55 litres

My EV gets me 250 miles for £6 From home charging and if I use the public ones it's still cheaper than my petrol car by about 30-50 quid. And if you really don't have time to charge 10 to 30 mins then I guess you need to get your priorities right in life and stop missing out on so much as you rush around and speed off.

And how often do you do 650 miles? Average millage per day in uk is 20 miles. Loads of clickbait but little thinking.

Just as well you drive shitty cars because you can't afford a Porsche to compare like for like..😂

@@davedevonlad7402 why do you ev evanglists watch these videos ? do you not realise just how silly you look
