Many reason why ev is not that popular. First is sometime the weirds look, second very important :range , most ev go 250 milles which is absurd because this mean 200 at most in cold weather countries; next is the price : they generally cost 20 to 25000 more than an ICE and if you think you will recuperate with lower charging fee, think again; at best it will take you 8 years to recuperate that money, and you probably dont know that fast charging near an autoroute will cost you 3 times as much than at home. Also after 8 years eventhough your battery may still be good it will have lost minimum 15% power ; second hand buyers will be scared to buy it .ON top of that there is an elephant in the room: Goverment are already talking about a special charging taxe to pay for the road and bridges, because rt now they are getting from gazoline company 50% when you fillup your ICE vehicle; if youthink the goverment will not come for you ,you are a dreamer. until ev go minimum 350 to 400 miles on a charge they wont sell.
But before they could be mass-produced and sold, cheap, high-quality design, range, power, intelligence, and futurism from China wowed Europe because they'd just finished their first war in Asia.
I preferred to be from the modern wonder as far as possible . i believe it have very actual reason for . Electra magnetic influence no one tell too much about . About phone every one know . But beside such power it can be 10 thousands time bigger problems . People too fast to jump in. If people start realize so something wrong with them and mention the reason of it . Who start to listen them , if industry on the high altitude of production ?Industry can mention psychological factor of person after, when it is not
Multi-speed transmission is the ultimate solution for electric vehicles to optimize their energy efficiency. By incorporating this design, electric vehicles can perform faster than ever before, resulting in significant benefits for both the environment and the driver.
So sick of the majority of electric cars being SUV's. Time for a selection of electric station wagon (estate) cars... combining both cargo capacity (for a family) and a enjoyable driver experience (not rolling around like a SUV).
As they come out with new EVs for 2024 still none of them are improved. Once EVs are improved, i will be more than happy to buy one. Im not a suv person, i like a large, full size luxury automobile which i have not yet found an EV. Due to my travels twice a year from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida which is a 831 mile drive, i need a car that gives me the ability to keep moving and that just isn't found in any EV. I need an EV that charges from 0 to 100 percent in 7 to 10 minutes, not hours but the same amount of time it takes me to fuel. I need an EV that has a range of a minimum of 500 miles. Most EVs has a range of 200 to 350 miles which is too low for all the money you put out to buy one. Yet hybrids seem to be the ones that supersedes all EVs. The new Toyota Prius hybrid gives you a range of 640 miles. The Jaguar XF 20d offers a range of 731 miles. No such thing as an EV that offers you a range like this. I sold my 2014 buick lacrosse hybrid. Its tange was 408 miles. I looked at the EV again and just could not find one that offers me the range i need so i got the 2021 jaguar XJl. Fueling times, 7 minutes and range is 515 miles and roomy,comfortable and smooth like a luxury automobile should be. Unfortunately Tesla dosent make a luxury car. They dont make EVs that has a charging time of 7 minutes to fully charge from 0 to 100 percent and they don't make an EV that offers a range of 515 or greater. The greatest EV on earth is not available in the mighty United States of America, highspeed bullet train technology which is also (fully electric) range unlimited, charging times 0. For a country so damn gong ho on electric vehicles still dosent have highspeed rail, bullet train technology? Well till then, i need a car that gives me the ability to keep moving and that is not Tesla or any EV.....
BTW CUE Debbie Downer!! FISKER Pear will be like 150 miles and $5,000 more than announced! So now it’s $35,000 starting price and delayed I year I believe.
Be wary about Fisker, his previous car was a disaster and this one is following the same road. I will believe it not only when i see it but will wait for the reviews
I would guess nobody's figured out where to put the batteries in an electric sedan yet, but then Tesla seems to do just fine. I agree, the fact that they're all SUVs is dissapointing.
EV's are still less than 1% of the entire U.S. auto fleet for many reasons. The disadvantages mentioned here for the EV were very few and have many more than an ICE car. The first is pollution free. EV's cause far more pollution than ICE cars. The dirty mining process of rare earths metals to produce those 1 ton batteries, to having to use fossil fuels to charge them, to the end of life of dumping highly toxic lithium in landfills is a highly polluting process. Much of an ICE car can be recycled while EV batteries aren't. Add to this that they use coolant for the batteries just like ICE cars use coolant, they also have brake parts, brake fluid, steel for the body, glass and plastic for the windows and lights, rubber tires...ect. The other problem is cold weather. The battery range of these is far less in colder climates. ICE engines are actually an innovation over the EV's. They were able to invent all the parts required to make it run efficiently, economically, longer lasting and much more affordable to the consumer. The other problem is cost of maintenance. They are highly computerized and the batteries themselves are very dangerous which means only a specialized dealer can service them which also drives up the cost of ownership. The reason why ICE engines will remain is because the essentially an EV is nothing but a giant battery. The power source is stationary and built into the car which is a huge flaw in itself since its temporary and degrading. The ICE engine on the hand has it's power source externally. So it can be added and replenished whenever needed. Additionally, it can use competing fuel sources such as gasoline, diesel, ethanol, natural gas and hydrogen thus making it far more versatile. An EV can only be powered by a battery that is permanently locked into the car. It's very permanent power source which is also large percentage of it's value is designed to fail. The EV predates the ICE car by around 50 years for many reasons. The ICE engine car is an innovation over the EV. Converting to an EV would be a regression rather than a progression.
I will never have an electric car, simply because they're a terrible fire risk. Ask any fire department, and they will tell you, an electric car fire is extremely difficult to put out. They require huge amounts of water over many hours, to extinguish, and even then, can still catch fire again afterwards. The problem is, they have lots of small lithium batteries, that if the contents are exposed to air (say, in an accident), can catch fire, and burn fiercely, so I will never put myself or my family at risk, by buying one of these potential death traps. Do some research, and you'll find this very true. If they can power them by some other 'safe' means in the future, I might change my mind, but at the moment, they're simply too dangerous. No thank you, I'll pass!
