Reports of EVs being ‘valueless’ when trading in 

We learned in 6th grade science back in the early '60s that CO2 was plant food and Plants give OXYGEN ???? Unreal ! If they want to save the planet- them first and set the example and we will fallow in about 10-30 years !

EVs will reach price parity in 2025

Why they are waste of money and too dangerous?

@@imtheeastgermanguy5431 With any kind of flood damage or minor accidents they can be prone to catching fire so they are written off by insurers, the fires are also very toxic. The batteries are a structural component in many EVs now, and make up the majority of the cost of the vehicle, so if the battery needs replacing the second hand value is near. Also our electric grid can barely meet current demand, and all the green projects are 5-10 years behind schedule, meaning we do not have to capacity to double or triple or energy usage with EVs. As for price parity, if China drops its massive subsidies of its EV industry we will not reach parity with ICE vehicles until 2030.

@@user-pi6cs3ue4s other cars are broken as well when they got flooded and in the long run a fuel powered engine is pretty wasteful and produced also very toxic Gases and materials like oil. I'm pretty sure that electricity is also very needed to make fuel and to transfer it to the patrol station is carried by a lorry. So electricity you can use for almost everything and it's much easier to transfer but not to store yet. But there are methods which can store renewable energy over a pretty long time. Ev's can also be a storage for electricity and some cars can give the electricity back into the house or so which is great. And yes they can burn but test shows that they are actually pretty safe but the time to get the fire out is more. No matter what, even a half burned car is just trash.

EV's are great. Yeah, the guys pumping out carcinogenic diesel exhaust are the true environmentalists.

​@Gazza-rv8ud If you own one good luck with that. And have fun if you go on long trips. Oh, and if they do it to airplanes and you travel by them good luck with that too. Just like our soldiers in battle using them for tanks and other vehicles. Wonder how far they get on those charges. And what happens to them when the charge dies and they're stuck on the battlefield? Oh well....

@@Gazza-rv8ud .....the guys pumping out carcinogenic diesel exhaust aren't any worse than the EV charging stations; most of which run on diesel generators....!!! Give your brain a chance!

Maybe they should take aborigines land as most of it is just desert. Got to be careful of it being suddenly scared land.

@@user-yn4ni8km2t that's why they wanted the voice to pass so desperately. They pay enormous amounts in mining royalties and needed a workaround via a carefully selected 'advisory panel'.

That's right. Alot of American manufacturers obviously don't believe in EV's long term because they all have been designing and working on their next gen ICE engines.

Best part about that is IF my LS7 ICE motor ended up blowing up I could buy a brand new crate motor LT4 (the new corvette motor) for less than $40k aus.......or rebuild the ls7 for even less...... EV's are junk.

You’re forgetting if you have a minor accident in an EV you should replace the batteries for safety because it could have ruptured a cell and be unstable, don’t need to do that with an ICE vehicle so what’s better for the environment?

@@jasonstranthon5183 love a good LS engine.

LFP batteries last 1 million kms

Yes, thats is why my hilux now has 430000ks on it, it is very cheap to own, just a few parts now and then

And that’s a Fact

@@EssentialComment And it gets you where to go on a tank of petrol, or diesel. Like the meerkat says..."Simple!" lol

@@brianmorris8045 it's got a range of about 700 ks on around 70 litres

@@EssentialComment so 700km from 70 ltr doing the mileage I do living rurally would cost about $10,000 a year in diesel alone (at $2 per litre). Yeah will stick to the ev I think. Used to have a 75 series troopy and it was definately not a cheap car to run!

Makes people feel good I suppose

Where are we going to put all that nuclear waste that doesn't disappear for another 100 million years?

@@sauronthegreat5799 Where do we currently put all the chemical waste from the extraction of rare earth elements for wind turbines in China? Into village water supplies where it causes mass poisonings. And unlike nuclear waste, chemical waste never decays.

And all vehicle subsidies, all compliance and carbon credits, everything attached to do-gooder causes like "climate change" and other frauds.

LFP lasts 1 million kms

EVs will reach price parity in 2025, then the fun begins

@@rattusfinkus "LFP lasts 1 million kms" or your first fender bender, when the car gets totaled because it, or the battery, can't be economically fixed. Then it hopefully gets recycled. EVs are made to be disposable. That's one reason insurance rates for them are so high.

@@dzcav3 no the insurance rates are high because there is no experience with EVs in the repair industry. They don't know what is repairable so they assume worst case. Also there are not enough repairers for EVs. What will happen is the repair industry and the insurance industry will catch up as well as batteries will get massively cheaper. In the bad old days it would have cost $60,000 to replace the cells in a standard pack now ii costs about $6000 and by 2025 it cost $3600.

Rich people don't buy teslas

@@joseeduardo2299 Yes they do - not all of course.

@@balthazarbulau4095 Those who generally buy EVs do so for virtue signalling. Often it has nothing to do with whether one is rich or poor. That's the whole point.

I made a comment on another video saying something similar. That wealthy people buy them so they can brag about it to their friends. But YT deleted it.

If my small businesses was taxed way less for leasing a small EV for city use only then perhaps. But that won't happen. If I leased one I wouldn't care about resale. You would be stupid to buy one privately.

Have a front end collision in your petrol/diesel car and see how it goes for you. A medium crash writes off almost anything these days, all those pesky safety measures sure are a pain.

@@MT-lv3lsRubbish, if y9u have the slightest hit in an EV you should be replacing the batteries as there is a risk it has ruptured a cell, you don’t do that in an ICE vehicle and last time I checked replacing a bumper some guards and an bonnet won’t write most cars off but damage just the bumper in an EV and it’s pretty like it will

@@knight2425 If you got a hit enough to just need a bumper replacement then you did well. Congrats, but as long as you don't impact the structure of the cells - you do not need to replace it. If you are only debating where impacts happen, then you are using stupidity to win an argument.

@@MT-lv3ls Rather a bad argument for you to get involved in given insurance companies will write off and EV if there's even a risk of battery damage and potential future problems.

@@MT-lv3ls any impact in an EV could rupture a cell and you won’t know about it until the car catches on fire hence why they get written off for even a small impact unlike an ICE vehicle and as for your first point, Most modern cars can absorb a decent hit before doing more damage past the front bumper, you might replace lights and grills and at worse blend in a quarter panel

100% correct

Netter yet, don’t spend it and reduce taxes.

I've said for years that the answer is a network of far smaller nuclear power stations serving regions, instead of these monsters that take ten years to build.

So, when your Sub sink we don't have to worry about running a extension cord to power the coolant pumps. Or how about we just carry the Reactor to the ocean when their an accident?

Take a look at the populations of those countries. Australia only has 26 million and that makes it pointless. Go and take a look at how much one costs to build, existing sites and new - even those modular ones the Libs are on about and then you see why this is nothing but a fantasy. Because we sold power generation to a private entity, with costs determined by them - they will never spend the 14 to 30 billion needed, this before deciding on how much output is needed. Your fantasy is even more of a pipe dream than the ones you seem to think are.

Bowen’s never heard of such places … He can’t even pronounce NUCLEAR ☢️

Furthermore, we have lots of uranium used to fuel these reactors, we don't need to import it.

What towns do you plan to put these nuclear power stations? I'm just curious because my area is fighting a new coal mine for a power station. Maybe my local area would like that instead. It's the old saying " sounds like a good idea, Just not in my back yard"

@@anthonyfellowes8204 I'd be very happy to work at a nuclear power station. Much safer than driving a car these days.

Spot on mate , it’s a proper rort.

If it's true they're worthless it won't cost anything to get one

Until they pull the pin on fuel or start lacing fuel with metal shards. I wouldn't put it past the government. Eventually you won't have a choice and you will be happy 😂

83 eh ,in will cost you sooner or later , then it will be a garage queen while you drive your ev to work

Its ASX listed company. so is owned by Retail investor/shareholders 60%. Institutional funds 40% Largest shareholder holds 8%.

It's Australian, just incredibly woke and therefore poorly run. I should know, I was a long suffering shareholder until I sold out last year when the price spiked back to just above what I bought them for.

Definitely a bad one

I believe EV's are the future its simply a matter of refining the technology which is continually happening to EV's....The EV owners of today are the people who drive the industry forward they are the guinea pigs and we should be thanking them.

Pretty much. My Tesla needs a new battery to the tune of $17K. No dealers want it and the scrap yard offered $7K for it.

@@urbanracer032 I'm in the car industry and @90% of the dealers I know wouldn't take a working one in trade in. We could face a bill your size under dealer warranty or a 'goods not fit for the purpose' claim. Just not worth the risk. Also, who would want one on the premises with thermal runaway risk? Insurance companies are meant to store them 15m apart now. I'm sorry you got caught.

@@topmarques Eh, it's my fault for listening to the mainstream media instead of doing my own research on the pro's and con's of buying and living with an EV.

@@topmarques It's my fault for listening to all the mainstream media hype, not doing any of my own research on buying and living with an EV.

@@urbanracer032 Take that $7k, hopefully in real money, i.e. cash, and run. You can probably buy a 10/12 year old Camry for that. My friend has a 2005 Camry Aurizon with over 400,000 kms and it ticks over like a Swiss clock.

all cars are disposable.

@@justice1902 23 year old wrx still running, and in use. :-) It still holds 60 litres; EV battery wont last that long nor keep it's capacity no matter how well you treat it. Resale value is 0. WRX will get me 5-10k. :-) EV's are disposable batteries on wheels.

He's just a politician, not a business person. I don't trust any of them.

Because it’s cheaper to run ? Why pay for diesel when you can charge your car at home for free from your rooftop PV System.

@@Aaronwhatnow you are not making sense little boy

Stupid 😅

Wind and Solar is the cheapest method of power production. As long as coal and gas are at their eye watering market prices, you won't see any business paying this overhead that eats away profit margins. As for nuclear, look up how much it costs, the time it takes to become operational and then tell me a country with less than a third of the population of France is going to generate the income fast enough to warrant that immense outlay. But we all know a few billion dollars of tax payer money solves everything. It don't matter what it is, business will cry poor regardless. Coal has been subsidised well enough, 10 billion a year is a good bit of coin to make. When the only "emission" is a radioactive element lasting a few hundred thousand years, I guess it's a good trade off to have spent rods buried everywhere instead of a gas in the atmosphere.

who ever build atom now will big regret it good that there are non in ger and aut build at the moment whit energy storage and renewables atom will get outsold pretty fast

They are hoping to keep that hush hush before the mass failures start and there is junk EV like a scene out of Idiocracy

Go for it! A chap in Canada picked up a used EV cheap, then took it in for a service to fix his range issues (go figure) ... the cost of the battery replacement was more than he paid for. Ended up scrapping it.

Yep Australian Nissan leaf 2nd hand 15k no range left, new Nissan battery 30k Can get no name batteries cheaper but don’t last as many years as the Nissan batteries.

@@jasonjason5184 the leaf is a special case, they fucked up , they didn't have battery cooling and they didn't last

If it gets in the way of profits? of course. When closed pipe systems were required for chemicals, everyone screamed about that too. But we all know what happens when there is nothing preventing poisonous run offs into the water. People don't seem to think the air quality or the temperature of that little rock we live on is important either. At least until inconvenience hits home anyway.

​@@MT-lv3ls Exhaust of current ICE vehicles is ridiculously clean. We don't need to collapse industrial civilization's logistics for marginally "cleaner" air.

@@gregorymalchuk272 Of course it's better, after all those years in operation I would hope so. The catalytic converter literally saved everyone too. But when you add that Australia has no vehicle emission or fuel standards, it could be a lot better than that. The fact ICE are only 40% (at their best currently) efficient by their design is hardly a matter too, this ignoring older engines that might only be 25% - which means for every 100 dollars you pump in, 60-75% of that fuel's energy potential is not even doing anything. As for the "collapse of industrial civilization", the whole point of EVs from the outset was for the civilian market.
