The hidden reasons why EV sales are dropping 🤔 

OOOOOHHH I KKKKKKKKKKkkkkkknnnnnooooowww....

What a joke. EV's were here 120 years ago... little has changed except the flim flam man...

@@henryhill3778 mostly I say. Come out of yr Cave. Now I say come down ye hill and look around.

In what way? Lithium isn't as bad as oil on the environment. Plus Lithium deposits are concentrated in small areas around the globe. Oil fields are everywhere. Another thing Lithium can easily be recycled, Oil as fuel is only used once. Lithium recycling is set to grow and really starting to take off.

@@rickster9993 All dreams! Some other kind of metal needs to be found for the +ve electrode in batteries. Lithium batteries cause numerous fires, it is toxic, highly dangerous material.

Hmm. Good one, thank you for sharing this.

Exactly, for the most part range anxiety only exists for non-EV owners, I suggest renting an EV for a roadtrip to get rid of this irrational fear. Do you know what sucks though? Realising you forgot to refuel last night and have to go 20 miles in the wrong direction before you can go to work. Coming in 2030 near you, as the EV fleet of the US reach 20-25% of the total car fleet.

"My wife insisted" 🤣

@@barriewilliams4526

cause nobody wants them that simple. america is filled with endless highways and ev's suck at highway/interstate travel.

@billybobbob3003 The only ones that don't are Tesla and they are ugly.

@billybobbob3003 But America isn't going to stop the rest of the world from buying EVs. The 2025 models are all coming in at 400+ miles range. Eventually America will catch up

exactly. this is an american problem.. who were too late to adopt EVs due to legacy automakers hardon for oil. countries who figured it out 10yrs ago like many asian countries have already reached 50% or higher in total EV sales, and their demand is extremely high due to ACTUAL price selection for the masses - eg. EVs avail starting from $10,000. until tesla can sell an EV for less than $20k by next year, they are going to be overrun by the asian EV makers. don't forget the united states does not represent the world. just because u.s. EVs sales have gone over a cliff, doesn't mean other countries are experiencing the same.

@@OnsiteOneSolutions ev sales in china flopping lmao

Have you considered how much energy is wasted to produce EV car and batteries and then to produce the electricity. Not all energy comes from renewable sources.

@urosgruber According to the 1st Law of Thermodynamics, energy can not be created or destroyed. Energy can only be transferred from one form into another. This is basic inorganic chemistry 101, dude.

@@Seven.Heavenly.Sins.666 Not sure what you want to say here? If you're referring to my word "wasted", I meant that energy is not destroyed but not used efficiently.

@urosgruber According to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, entropy is always greater than enthalpy. In other words, energy can never be used 100% efficiently. You win some, and you lose some. That is Mother Nature.

@@Seven.Heavenly.Sins.666 all true, but it's not the point here. Nvm.

Fossil fuel lobbyists and propogandists are shatting theyre pants. They're trying desperately to fight back but it wont work this time 😶

Numbers are showing different situation

The sales haven’t dropped, they are just not increasing, but there are still more EV sales than there has ever been. I see Teslas on every corner now.

@@nolomite3921 Sales are actually increasing but the price is dropping due to large decreases in battery prices.. Battery cost will continue to decline as more battery plants and EV factories come on line this year so expect to see the price of EV's continue to drop.

But still, a lot of places where it's declining.

@@CarTalkChronicles Where?

@@CarTalkChronicles Where? Not in Europe where I'm from so what are you talking about?

Thank you 🤗

Actually EVs catch fire less often than gas burners.

What do you need?

@@CarTalkChronicles can you send me gmail

@@CarTalkChronicles I saw your video, your editing is good but it is not according to the trend nowadays. I am a video editor who will help in growing your channel.

@@CarTalkChronicles yes

Interesting stuff. Do you own one?

@@CarTalkChronicles No he doesn't and every thing he knows is from some one who knows someone who lives next door to someone who does.

@@CarTalkChronicles I don’t own one and don’t look forward to owning one. I don’t feel like I’ll own one until automotive manufacturers address the length of time it takes to charge the vehicle. I have young kids and having to stop for an hour (or more) to charge when going on a road trip is not my kind of fun. 6 of the people I know who have an EV use that to commute to and from work. This does work for them as a 2nd vehicle. The rest are (roughly 10 or so) that got a Tesla Model 3 or equivalent as a primary/only vehicle dread it and feel they made a mistake. They either got it to be “greener” or to save on the cost of ownership. Those who are going for the “green” movement are terribly wrong because of the huge impact on the environment in manufacturing and planned obsolescence of the vehicle based on the battery charge cycle life. As for the people saving money on gas. The total cost of ownership was quite more than expected because of taxes on mileage and the expensive tires they are required to purchase. The weight of the vehicle and a large amount of torque cause excessive tire wear. 2 people I work closely with end up having to get 2 sets of tires within the last 12 months. According to them they don’t drive their car like a race car and try to drive as economically as possible. I’ll stick with my slow and soft gas car and run it into the ground until something like hydrogen cars take off.

"The biggest surprise complaint is how fast they go through tires and how expensive they are." Spotted the Big Oil troll, what do I win? :)

@@supernoobvs.5760 You're just blowing wind. Nothing you said is insurmountable. Going on vacation? Most big chain restaurants have charging stations now days. My daughter and her husband drove from Settle to San Fransisco in one they rented. The motel they stayed at had charging stations. The little town I live in has 4 charging stations at it's biggest restaurant and 6 charging stations at the main motel. I don't believe Tesla requires special tires and yes if you have a heavy foot you're going to be burning rubber. You will also be out running just about every thing on the road. Except for other EV''s. Everybody I know that has EV's love them.

Scientifically? What does that even mean? They exist, they drive, they are being bought so what exactly are you talking about? You stand to sound much more credible if you were to say economically not viable for general use. It's all about economics and guess what, you'll be wishing to be driving an EV in a couple of decades and nothing else because driving and ICE cars will become unrealistically expensive. Or do you perhaps think oil will be coming out of the ground for eternity? Lets see you wanting to drive an ICE car if it's 10 times more expensive to do so. Also, do you actually believe all those car manufacturers making EVs are doing it because they want to portray en eco friendly image? Nope, it's because they see the writing on the wall for the future. They invest and develop now in order not to fall behind. Those car manufacturers that aren't on top of the game in EV building in the future will just die and no longer exist. Btw, I just love how you just say they aren't "scientifically viable" and provide no clarification what so ever. It sounds like ignorant nonsense, probably not even aware what exactly you're saying.

​@@flybeep1661 If you don't know what it means - I can't help you. Here's an example: EVs carry too much dead weight because of the batteries, therefore the energy conversion from burning coal/oil/NG, converting it into electricity, charging EV batteries is so inefficient (compare to just burning gas) that the idea of EV efficiency is absurd. And don't forget that energy coefficients from main source of energy (fossils) to electricity to EV batteries is so low that the EV idea is so stupid - it defies belief. If you also take into account how much energy it takes to produce batteries and then dispose of them . . .

@@flybeep1661 Also, what would help if you studied hard sciences instead of the crap they teach in public schools, then you may have understood what I'm talking about. Study math and physics in particular.

I guess I have different science on the planet I live on. With my full house solar system combined with the local grid largely powered by recently built renewables none of your "science" makes any sense. My science is me laughing all the way to the bank with the crazy low operating cost and near zero maintenance. I wake up everyday with a full "Tank" filled as I sleep from either my full house battery system or directly from my solar power during the day or from the grid which is primarily renewables backed by minimum gas power. The off peak rates are nicely VERY low. Over a 10 year period I save over 26,000 dollars compared to my gas car in energy cost alone. Science - Shmience. You have no idea what you are talking about. ​@@ChessCat9

Interesting idea 👌🏻
