They maybe listened to the hype that said EVs were just as good as normal cars. 11 yr old Subaru - no problem.
@@croberts2358an 11 year old leaf had a 73 mile range, it’s almost impossible to find an EV with under 200 miles range now. It’s almost like the tech has gotten better and people are stuck in the past.

Maybe you can pitch in some money to buy him a new one. That would help prove your point better.
By the way I could use one too.
I don't know why you would even do something like that. If I bought an EV that only had 25 miles of range due to a degraded battery, my plan would have already included replcement of bad battery before I even negotiated the price for purchase. I'd look into doing it myself (A prius battery swap isn't too bad)

This video was weird. Showing someone who has range anxiety when they have an old EV with a battery range of 25 miles is not representative of the typical EV owners.

You may have well just set fire to your thousand dollars rather than spend it on a first gen Leaf! No thermal management to keep the battery “healthy”. You realize that the the best charging network standard (Tesla )has been adopted by most auto makers. No need to obsess about the other charging providers, they are going bankrupt. A hybrid is a waste of resources, plus you end up dragging an internal combustion engine (weight) and , if you are like most hybrid owners, don’t even charge your battery( assuming it is a “plug-in” hybrid ). Recent studies have shown that the emissions of hybrids are much higher than people have been led to believe.

@@SocraticMuttso I guess you never heard the stories of people having problems finding charging stations, EVs not operating in cold weather, or having a shorter range in cold weather, EVs catching fire, or the batteries not lasting as long as they should.

The grid capacity isn't there. To simply state it, it's impossible.
No, it's not impossible, the infrastructure will grow with demand. Just as the ICE infrastructure did. People use to buy fuel bottles from pharmacies. Most EV Owners charge at night when demand is low.
The gasoline grid wasn’t there in 1895. What’s your point?
@@natecarte6807😂😂😂California can barely keep the lights on now as it is.
@gen_z_hippichikk So it's 1895 again? The electric vehicle push was never organic and heavily subsidized by the government. The grid can't handle it, and it's not something that can be fixed overnight. It would take a decade and 3 trillion dollars to update the grid to handle everyone driving electric cars. Never going to happen. Never ever.
To add what others have posted, the price of solar keeps going down every year. Along with batteries. The electricity won't have to travel as far in aggregate.
I own an EV and this isn't representative of my experience at all. I live in a rural area with large distances between chargers and have never got close to running out. All my ICE cars have always said I could go 10% further when full then I've ever got it to go on a tank but when an EV does that it's vilified.

They do however burn tires like nobody's business due to instant torque.
Every word/excuse this man used, IS A NIGHTMARE. Does he know he doesn't have to do anything Joe Biden says?

Fox picked this guy to make EVs look bad. I have a Tesla Model 3 rwd. I charge it for free at home while I sleep. It saved me over $3,500 last year in fuel costs and I have taken many road trips in it. The furthest one was from Houston to Orlando and back. It's the best car I have ever owned.
It is stupid because there are not enough chargibg stations!
No one wants to invest in charging stations. They don’t feel it’s a good investment.
A machine is ether a benefit or a hazard.
I believe full-EV has potential, but regulating ICE and hybrids out of existence is asinine. Government needs to back _way_ down on EV subsidies and ICE regulation, allowing the market more room to drive (pun intended) direction. Fully-electric vehicles make a lot of sense for many urban commuters who mostly drive within range of their homes and use other modes of transportation for non-local travel. But growth should be organic to allow EV technology time for maturation and infrastructure development (charging stations, grid and generation improvements).
You are so right. This whole issue of EV versus ICE is sure to become even more political, as the CCP -subsidised Chinese manufacturers begin to flood world markets with far cheaper products. So many jobs are at risk in the western auto sector, in almost every aspect of the industry, that calls for greater government intervention will become irresistable.
"Man runs out of fuel, blames the fuel"
Keep voting blue, America, make sure the White House and the Senate stays in Democrat hands and give control of the House back to them so along with the Democrat controlled courts we can have a total dictatorship and have all EVs 10 years from now along with economic devastation, endless wars, loss of our cherished freedoms, etc.

Buy EV tire stock
Faster, but not a lot faster. And I think the cost is roughly the same. A new set of 4 will cost around $1200 last time I checked.

It only makes sense to have a hybrid instead of a fully electric car. It's basically like having a fail safe option in case something goes wrong or you run out of charge.

We drive an EV for three years now, mainly charge at home. Fully charged we can travel roughly 358 miles. If we happen to be out and about and need extra juice to make it home, we could go to any SuperCharger, or third party charger, and charge for THREE to FIVE minutes, gaining an additional 100 plus miles through fast charging…
Three bucks for over one hundred miles of range for less than five minutes at a charger, we will never go back to petrol ever again…

Let's talk 2024 now. 1 moving part and Tesla Model Y Performance beats a Dodge Hellcat Redeye. Wonder what you are referring to?
Many new Chinese EV's have 600+ mile range. No such thing as range anxiety as public charging all over makes EV's very popular.
The grid (generation, transmission, distribution) has NO ABILITY to supply even a fraction of vehicles switching to electric. Just 1 million EVs charging at night (7.2 kW x 1,000,000 = 7,200,000 kW or 7,200 MW). Since solar takes 5 acres/MW, that's 36,000 acres of solar (which produces ZERO MW at night when vehicles will be charging at home). That's also equal to 12 LARGE fossil fuel plants.
Again, that's just 1 million vehicles. Now try millions and millions (CA has over 31 million vehicles and that's just one state). IMPOSSIBLE in 2030, 2050 or 2070.
The plan is to make ICE more expensive so EV fill cheaper. Then mandate by law that you have to buy EV. Sounds good right?
You are so correct.
Yes, there's a grand conspiracy. It has nothing to do with cleaner air, or performance, it's all about control! And Pete Buttigieg is the mastermind!
ICE is ALREADY more expensive. 🤔
Good Luck running that piece of junk in the winter up here in the Northeast
If you know your history you'd realize that EV's are going to die out for the same reasons that they did 100 years ago. It's a fad.
EXACTLY 💯
if they do'nt, will you admit you are wrong?
They don't seem to be a fad for the rest of the world and if I am not mistaken, over 90% of EV owners claim to absolutely love them
Yeah, because battery technology hasnt moved an inch in 100 years.

i have 1, its ok
i will never buy any ev...

I've had my hybrid camry since 2012.
She's a beauty.
Hybrid got a bad rep.
Almost 400 miles on a fill-up, and a sweet ride...except for Dallas; but that's another story.
If ev's weren't a threat to oils bottom line, then there would be no need to make fake articles to scare people. I wonder how many people can actually think that far?
Exactly

The ONLY currently ICE-dominated application for which EVs make sense would be construction vehicles (to eliminate their noise pollution and make jobsite communication less radio-dependent). Other than that, bicycles/scooters/skateboards/etc. are the biggest and most powerful application EV technology will ever have.
They want EV’s for the environment BUT the mining to get the rare metals for the batteries is far worse than exhaust emissions.
False myth...
@@hanshansen3885 Oh strip mining for mineral is Good for the environment. Good to know. Thanks.
@@KCKingdomCreateGreatTrekAgain That is not what I said. Maybe you should look at what you wrote...
The latest iterations of batteries (lfp) don’t use rare metals save for lithium. Lithium is not nearly as rare as many have been lead to believe. Turns out the United States has enormous lithium reserves in multiple locations. If youre really concerned about mining you should be interested in lowering demand for the most mined resource in the world. 7.4 billion tons of coal. Dirty. Inefficient. If you’re that concerned you ought to be promoting improving the grid and developing 5th gen nuclear power.
Aren’t we correctly mining for oil? 🤔
If California is telling People not plug in the EV's to charge, what they going to do when they have a Whole State Plugging in. Does that mean their Electric Grid will crash?
My ICE powered vehicle is becoming more valuable every day!
Eh, nope
hybrids suck too
Yeah one of my coworkers is trying to trade in her Tesla. Has a lot of the complaints many EV owners have. Range, lack of ability to drive in the cold, etc
You guys do realize the first Nissan Leaf is the first mass-market EV to ever come out. It's over fifteen years old. It's did not have liquid battery cooling. He only paid $1000 which is the price of a good 10-speed bicycle and finally EVs are against the agenda of Fox News and all the oil companies that buy ads.... otherwise, though, yeah.. "Fair and Ballanced" 😂😂😂😂
Somehow, Elon Musk managed to rip off all those genius elites. Funny!
what a ridiculous video... "nearly stranded" the guy has a car with 25 miles an range. he would get more range out of an electric scooter. Getting a hybrid more of a joke than this video. The only reason there is a push to say are not ready for primetime is only Tesla and BYD (a Chinese EV maker) are able to make profits the cars they sell, everyone else loses money, so there has been an effort to discredit. Tesla has over 20,000 charges in the US and and any other car company can use their chargers with an adapter. You can take any route across the US you and you will never be stuck (unless you car only have a range if 25 miles). Hybrid is stupid, they are heavy, cost more so you might as well just go all gasoline.
You know electric cars are heavier than ice cars right? No one is buying your lies buddy shut it already
@@adrianwiles1 Oh, really. They're heavier. Do you think they are too heavy to carry. Who gives a fu*k if they are heavier. I don't 2 sh*t's if you buy and EV or not, you probably just stop using a typewriter a few months ago dumb dumb
