I have a six year old gas engine car with low miles that I've had since new. It's powerful, gets reasonable fuel economy, and has been reliable. But I'm a car enthusiast, and - having recently tested several EVs - found the driving experience to be fantastic. In a few short years when it's time for a new car, I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going to end up in.
And when you do you will wonder why you didn't do it years ago. I'm over 5 years in and have already saved over €10,000 in fuel and servicing costs (I live in France). Battery degradation after 105,000 km ?...Zero, none at all..haven't even used up the 3.5 kWh buffer yet. This video is bathed in sheer ignorance.
Can't wait to get into an EV. I rented a plug in hybrid. Was great until the engine kicks in. Absolutely hate it. EV is amazing and I can charge at home .
You will love it when you get one. My Kia e-Niro was my retirement present to self back in March 2019. Now on 105,000 km and its saved me over €10,000 in fuel and servicing (I live in France)..I tested the hybrid version alongside the EV and there was no comparison, the EV is far superior to drive. Range loss? none at all with 100% reliability. If you can put solar up as I've done and measure the cost against what you spend on petrol you will get payback on the solar in under 5 years...So far my solar panels have covered 80% of all my driving. You won't regret driving on sunlight and giving the oil billionaires the finger.😊
What a load of absolute rubbish!..The first thing he says is just plain wrong. EVs do not lose 20% of their range in 5 years..My Kia e-Niro is 5 and half years old with 105,000 km on the clock and has lost no range at all, none. Check out the many Tesla's with over 200,000 miles on with only 10% range loss. With an active BMS an EV battery is good for 10 to 15 years. Then he goes on about 'disposing of them' at the end of life. He clearly knows nothing about how batteries degrade, few just suddenly die and even at 50% original capacity will have a second life as solar backup. Has he never heard of companies like Northvolt, Redwood, Materials, LiCycle or Fortum?...Just some of the many companies hungry for battery feedstock to be recycled. Total ignorance and I'm only at 1:04
Currently MG is offering lifetime warranty. Battery degradation is appox 10% over 300,000 miles. Batteries are 100% recyclable. EVs require no maintenance and get 124 mpg equivalent. This video is obviously done by big oil. Nobody uses public charging they charge at home. 200 miles cost $7 for charging. Typically a gas car engine will last. 156k an EV drive train is over 1 million miles. All negative info like this video are always done by non EV owners. As A REAL owner the fact is few current owners will ever consider going back to expensive unreliable gas cars and. ICE IS DEAD
MG has just announced in Thailand that all MG4s new or used will received a LIFE TIME BATTERY WARRANTY with unlimited km's which is now expected to move to every country in the world and to other car makers (so no need to worry about the battery any more) Now here comes all the naysayers, what about the fine print, their is no fine print so that has been put to bed too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ec_EicIl2kc.htmlsi=R3zBcyf-rfBq3QN4
@neilellison8984 lol, love the lame attempt at an insult 🤣. Have you read the small print, you know terms and conditions? It might say something about how the battery is charged, ie, no rapid charging, or charging above 80% which reduces the life of the battery. By the way, I assume you are "educated," So I am surprised at your lack of punctuation in your comment.
@@musicbruv By your reply you have removed all doubt, I am sorry to say but you must charge a LFP battery to 100% at least once a week to not damage it and rapid charging doesn't hurt it either, I can see you are referring to the old battery chemistry that Toyota are using in their Hybrids which is 20 year old chemistry and very unsafe (catch on FIRE).So please state which chemistry you are talking about instead of CLICK BAITING the uninformed
They will slow even more as people learn the dirty little facts about the battery technology. With only 5 % of batteries being recycled and an estimate of over 11 million tons of battery waste by 2025. Most waste is simply ending up in landfill and leaching the chemicals they never tell you about. They are called PFAS chemicals. I cannot mention the specific chemical, or this comment will not be displayed to the public or channel owner, but only be visible on my account. This fact makes me very suspicious of the information we are allowed to share and how much we never really see..
Nonsense - the 5% batteries you mention are consumer electronic batteries, not EV batteries. EV batteries are worth thousands of dollars and are in high demand by the 80+ battery recyclers such as Redwood Materials, LiNiCo, Li-Cycle, RecycLiCo, Ascend Elements, Lithion, Hydrovolt, Mercedes, EcoNiLi Battery Inc., Kemetco Research, American Battery Technology, ReCell, BASF, Northvolt, Volkswagon Group, Duesenfeld, Nth Cycle, Accurec, Botree, TRS Recycling, Primobius, Neometals, Umicore, GEM, and Brump and so on and on and on. Who the hell in their right mind is going to throw an 1,000+ lb EV battery into a landfill? Not the consumer. Not the auto scrap yard - they're too valuable. The companies I mentioned above are recycling consumer electronic batteries plus manufacturing battery waste until EV batteries start becoming available in any quantities which is not expected until the 2030s because EV batteries have such a long life.
Hybrids aren't more efficient than ICE cars. When using the ICE motor to recharge the battery, there is a 10% loss of power from the alternator, so fuel consumption is increased. You don't get energy for free and converting from one mode to another loss.
Correct in a classic thermodynamic sense, but remember that the hybrid captures for reuse the slowing and braking energy that is normally lost to heat. Also, since the motor and engine work in tandem, the ICE can be smaller and more fuel efficient. Our 2005 Prius has gotten mid-40's MPG since new. That's some 20% greater than the Yaris, which is even smaller and less capable.
I'll give you a few more reasons; you covered the high costs, and in states like mine the cost of electricity is substantially higher than others. So buying an ev means paying significantly more than a gas car, a sparse charging network [I live in a rural setting], in winter the batteries dont hold the normal charge [also a problem] and in the end if you keep the car eventually the batteries are going to expire and you will have an absolute paperweight on your hands as replacement batteries will cost twice what the car is worth. A gas engine you can rebuild. Batteries you cant. Until battery technology improves, and best yet gets STANDARDIZED this will be a continuing problem for the industry.
And you know this how? Your extensive knowledge gained by owning an EV? Or is it "what you heard"? What you don't understand is that EVs are 4 to 5 times more efficient than gas/diesel so even with high electric prices you still save money. I get 4.4 miles per kWh overall average and over 5 miles/kWh city driving. The average gas vehicle uses the equivalent of 1.34kWh PER MILE. Your electric prices would have to be extremely high to be more than gas. California has some of the highest in the nation and it is still cheaper to drive an EV. Furthermore, battery prices have been dropping. EVs do just fine in the winter, I lose about 20 miles of range. Batteries will last 15 to 20 years. the warranty is 8 years 100K miles minimum by law.
Why do you need the range? How far do you drive per day? Your bladder will tell you when it is time to charge, followed by your stomach. I have never had range anxiety, but I certainly had gas price anxiety when I drove gas.
@@muskrat3291 Its like, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, pass gas station, go home. Save money.
