Great news! If you make a purchase from any link above, my channel earns a small affiliate commission from the sale site.
It's almost like the general public doesn't want over priced, low quality, crappy range cars loaded with unreliable electronics 🤔
They clearly want unreliable electronics, because they buy Ford, GM and Jeep.
@@prman9984"you know what ford stands for, hank? Fix it again, tony... hehheheheh..."
"Dale you giblet head that's a fiat"
Toyota's electronics are legendary, I've used the radar tech for 7 years in my 2017 Corolla, I never had an issue. I like Toyota 's approach the semi driverless semi electric cars are being missed. I upgraded to a Lexus, Toyota should go ahead and design one to look like a mobile suit already, that little UX hugs my body and it feels like an extension of me it's so responsive.
I agree. Thats why Tesla has the best selling car in the world with highest EURONCAP rating ever.
Their electronics is top.
Ha!
I do not want an EV.
I don't want a VHS player either, so I don't buy one. Cool story.
I want EV
EVER
Nor do I.
I’ll get a Flintstones style car before I get an EV.
People who live in New York City, can’t have an EV because there’s nowhere to park a car and they don’t have a place to plug it in
17 min of my life saved. Or not, as the answer is pretty plain and simple for everyone here. 8 million people, but the city already has shitty traffic from just 200k cars driving about
aren't they being charged to drive per day now?
People were buying those vehicle on a promise of future improvements that never came. Naturally people are getting tired of paying for promises.
I mean... the initial buyers were doing that. Mainstream buyers don't care, they just want a real car.
Yea, improvements in like 30 years lol😂
People are still buying them.
I wonder how many more EVs will be sold on Earth in 2024 than in 2023.
All this anti EV propaganda in the US can only slow it down by so much
It fucking floors me how incompetent NY's leadership is
Play D'em games, win D'em prizes.
Don't blame the voters 😂😂
Vote Blue no matter who and please remember to Enjoy! the Screw!
When you run out of good ideas, guess what's left.
We're getting all those tasty cuisines though.
When the gov't forces car manufacturers to force EVs on consumers you get this disaster.
The ev acceptance is Not there its the oil country in about 2 Generations this will be changed.
What disaster... EVs are still growing, the auto industry is declining.

Have you not seen Gas prices?

"Even in NYC"? It's one of the worst places to own an EV because we don't have private garages like in the suburbs, and on-street parking is horrible here.
It's one of the worst places to own and operate a car period. The parking spots are too small, the streets are too narrow, and forgot about going faster than walking speed. Not to mention all the drivers are idiots
The only car that would be suitable for driving in NYC is a 1960s era Fiat 500 or a Peel P50.
I mean, this channel's thumbnails are all washed out fearmongering "cops and crime" shit. Clearly just a right wing echo chamber grift mill, it should be obvious to anyone willing to stop and think that this statement, "Even in NYC," makes no sense. It's just playing on conservative stereotypes of "city libs" and "big government." Of course NYC folks don't want EVs, they're either anti-car in general since they live in fucking NYC and walk or take public transit, or they can't afford dumbass "luxury" EVs. EVs are designed for the suburban middle-class with a modest but required commute, Cities should have no cars period. Obvious bullshit here.
Nobody talks about resale. Resale for evs is a huge issue. After 8 years on a battery, there is a significant loss in range, and a new battery cost almost as much as the car. Where is the resale in that?
That's why only leasing can make sense for EVs. People who buy EVs are either rich, unconscious or both. I heard of quotes up to 50k to replace a battery. And so, clearly they don't want you to own them. In fact, they don't want you to own anything.
Nio has not that problem. Nio will dominate the landscape of evs.
Actually it is not true about the range, at least nowadays it is not a big problem. Like, yes, few cars like, Tesla Model S Plaid, or Ludacris cars, they have way too much power, which makes battery overheat, they lose their capacity that way. But if you drive normal electric car, in ten years you go from 100% to 80%, but it still does not matter if people charge their cars every day, that can be felt only if you drive like 300-400km or for Americans, 190 - 250 then there might have some problems, especially in Winter, but in Europe, I don't know who normally drives so long, it is in Latvia probably like 1% or even less, like only truckers drive so long normally in Latvia, and they mostly drive what they can drive in 9 hours if I correctly remember. So, range is no problem, because EV is like phone, you can charge it over night or when you don't use it, it is not like we have gasoline phones, bad comparison, but you get the idea.
@@uldiskurpnieks8189you compare distances in Latvia to those in USA? Lol
Not true for Tesla. So much bad information out there. Do your research first. An EV battery failure is very unlikely. Battery technology has progressed beyond that. Look at the early Nissan Leafs which degraded quickly each year compared to the Teslas of today.
The best thing you can do for the environment, is keep your old car on the road for as long as possible
I'm surprised at how few people understand this. They'll say they love the environment and it's their biggest priority but they change to a new car every two years.
Bingo!
o yeah, for my busienss I use 1999 and 2000 Econolines. Also bough 2007 and 2013 econolines, Wil stay away from Transit vans for as long as I can. My weekend car is 2008 BMW. yeas lot of problems , but i can fix them. MY wifes car is 2019 Lexus and it has issues probably same as BMW . No more reliability among japanese cars either.
The longer it stays out the junk yard the better.
Yes. And THEN replace it with an EV.
simple.
It was recently reported that 60% of Americans couldn't get their hands on $400 in an emergency, and yet we are expected to cough up 30-40+ thousand dollars for an EV
That’s the point
I guess we better learn how to code😅
In reality the plan is for you to either stay at home or take the public transit. Making automobiles too expensive is just part of the plan. The government would like all of us to live is huge urban centers like NYC. The sheeple are easier to control when the are in one spot and dependent on the government for everything.
Uh, just like ANY vehicle?
@@Slayer-33tell me where you’ll find a cheap usable ev
A 1970s ferrari is more practical than a EV. Total joke.
Retired teacher here. A few decades ago, my district decided to use a math curriculum that had no textbooks. YAY! Massive savings! Let's adopt it for all the grade levels!
The problem was that since there were no student textbooks, the teacher had to Xerox each day's worth of material for every single student. So the money they saved by not having textbooks was instead spent on copy paper, toner and clicks. Not to mention all the additional wear and tear on the copiers. As the school year progressed, it became very painfully obvious that the district had made a horrible decision that ended up costing far more then what they saved. That program only lasted a year before it was scrapped.
I see the same mind set with EV. And I see the same outcome heading our way. Personally, I think the government already knows this EV thing is heading south fast and right before those mandates kick in, there will be legislation passed very quickly and quietly to push it back a few years. Then, when we still can't meet the timelines, the whole thing will be scrapped. Anyone else remember the great metric conversion attempts?
I agree with you. There are several ways you can go with electric. Luckily they are all plotted out: micro-hybrid, 48v hybrid, hybrid and PHEV/E-REV. For a consumer, the priorities is LOWER GAS COST. Engine start/stop is great, 48V hybrid is great, it should be standard. Everything else adds wayy too much cost to make it worth it, upfront and repair costs. Unless it's a delivery vehicle or taxi, those are great hybrids.
Yea that's pretty much what I also see happening. Kinda like the "REALID" program. Its gonna be a "hard deadline", but once we get near it it'll quietly be pushed back for some reason, and then finally we'll get to the point where it ends up scrapped
What you say makes perfect sense.
Except that globally, EVs are continuing to gain market share, despite years of people cherry picking months of declining sales and proclaiming the EV revolution is over. While the growth isn't accelerating as fast as it used to, every year sees more and more more EVs sales. Also, costs are going to start coming down significantly over the next couple years. This year alone batteries are expected to drop 50% in price, while also increasing energy density, charging time, cold weather performance, and lifespan. Every year, EVs are getting better and cheaper.
Glad you're retired. Wouldn't want you supporting misinformation when students need to understand that time is of the essence if we want to save the planet. FYI, EV adoption is up by double and triple digits every year - you just don't know it because you have your head in the sand.
If it is good, no one needs to force it on people
I guess abortion is good then
Tesla doesn't need to get forced on anyone they sell every EV they make and do it at a net profit even without subsidies.
@teole6364, to be fair, there are apparently MILLIONS of "people" who "think" that it's "good" to "end the lives of innocent unborn children for ANY REASON!!" And that's just absolutely demonic. There may be situations where it is _warranted_ to "end the life of the unborn child" at some stage but "ANY" is the disqualifier because it goes BEYOND "life/death medical emergency, 'my 9 yr old daughter was [redacted] by her daddy'." Those were not the issues in question, those which were are "I don't want no stretch marks, kill it!", "My folks cain't have no mixed-race baby, kill it!", "I don't want no kid right now, kill it!" etc. This is effectively utilizing "abortion as a means of birth control" rather than people exercising SELF-CONTROL. But clearly a godless society moves further and further away from "accountability/personal responsibility/morality" etc., because at that point "all forms of moral law" are left to be "determined by the entity which will benefit or suffer as a result of implementing those moral laws" rather than looking to a "moral-law Giver" such as God....
@@Barskor1 Right, that's why they are in the middle of heavy layoffs and leasing them at a discount right now.
Okay. Take another gulp of the kool-aid. @@Barskor1
Plugged in for 700 / 900 hours is insane. Yet if someone parks in the wrong spot for 30 minutes they get towed
900 hours is over 37 days... That car has been charging & not moved in 5 or 6 weeks...
My city in Euroland has a very simple solution to this. When your car is done charging, you get a notification on your phone. You then have 1 hour to move your vehicle to a non-charging parking spot or face a 70 euro fine for not moving it.
That's for sure fake or one doesn't know you don't use a home socket to charge an EV
@@michalandrejmolnar3715 its probably just maintaining the battery at that point but the clock still goes up
P2 _2023 hottest year next year even hotter_ In China, where one village hit a record 126 degrees in July, leaders warned that extreme heat could threaten the country’s food security. In India, extreme heat closed some schools for more than a week. In Greece, extreme heat was followed by hundreds of wildfires. It wasn’t hot everywhere-in San Francisco, I had to turn on the heat in July. But California was an anomaly, and the average global temperature this year was hotter than ever in recorded history. It’s likely that it hasn’t been this hot for more than 100,000 years. Between January and November, global average temperatures were 1.46 degrees Celsius higher than the average in the late 1800s, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. September was 1.75 degrees hotter, a fact that one climate scientist called “absolutely gobsmacking bananas.”
EV sales have fallen by 70% here in the UK. No one wants them.
Not so. Sales of EVs in the UK are still rising
@@stevewest131 in London maybe. Only place that can afford the borderline useless things.
@@hikaru9624 Nope, not just London. Sales are rising all over the UK, same as most other countries
@@stevewest131 I highly doubt that. You huffing some strong paint there.
Thats just not true.
The amount of that dirty fossil fuel it takes to make one EV. Could power an internal combustion vehicle 100,000 miles. So that EV would have to go nearly 200,000 miles to pencil out. And they are only good for about 15 years. No, I haven"t done the math. These are estimates
Zero knowledge huh dude still love to comment 😂😂😂
Tesla don´t use any dirty fossel fuels to make EVs, they use solar panels on the roof and use large megbatteries made by tesla to store power, everything run on renewable electric power supply. They are building their own Lithium refinery in the US to extract Lithium from salt water ponds in the US.

"Nobody wants to admit the more you force an incompatible product on society, the more people will find out how bad it is and find everything in their power to avoid getting stuck with one". THIS!!!!! So eloquently put.
Don't read my name!
Whoever said a clean, quiet and fast EV was incompatible with society? Imagine if EVs had won over gas cars in the early 1900s, and then in 2012 someone says ":you know what, I've got a great idea... we've got these new vehicles that are slower, smellier, and expensive, and they emit this toxic gas that will kill millions each year. And that's not all - we will drill this oil out of the Earth from the far side of the world, then we'll load it up into huge shipping vessels that sometimes spill it all into the oceans, but when it does arrive into our country, then we'll spend insane amounts of energy refining it, and then we'll ship it all across the country in trucks or pipelines, then we bury it back into the ground, and then we charge crazy prices for it. And it's explosive, so sometimes cars will catch on fire and/or explode. The vehicles will also have thousands of moving parts, versus the dozen or so for an EV, so you'll have to get it fixed a lot by people who understand it and like getting their hands all greasy. Oh, and we'll probably have to fight a few wars over this black goo that we use to power these cars."
Yeah, see how ridiculous that looks in hindsight?
This should hurt as much as it should enrage you because as Europe, Asia and even Australia is moving onto EVs, the US is unable to. It just means the US is falling behind technologically and instead of pushing and fighting for improvement, you're complacent to your situation of not moving at all. Once those EV plants start showing up in South America and they develop EV infrastructure, it would literally only be the US that's going to be using gas powered cars. That's the future you're cheering for.
@@pastasoo no need for hurt or rage - that’s for people stuck in their minds. Life always balances things out. Clearly forcing people isn’t proving to be a good strategy.
So why is work in China and Norway
Its no surprise to me that the same people who tell us not to run our AC in the summer because the grid can’t handle it, are also the same people who want us to buy EV’s… that the grid cant handle.
I don't know about the energy consume of your AC(air conditioning), but AC (alternating current) charging consumes usually around 7 kw. And unlike the always running AC you're not charging your car all around the clock. Neither your neighbours....
Average us citizen drives 40 miles per day and an average EV consumes 300 watt/h per mile. So that’s 12kwh per day. Your HVAC can consume everywhere from 50-100kwh per day. But you preferably would want to charge only when the battery is low and then charge the battery to 80-90%. So then you would have 7-11kw load for number of hours every now and then. Having dynamic pricing would steer drivers to charge when the HVAC load is lower.
Yeah turn off that AC but don't expect times square to turn off their 1000 screens projecting ads to you.
Guys , sorry but I need to clarify. I meant the AC in our house’s. They dont want us to use our AC’s because of rolling blackouts in places like California but they want us all to buy EV’s that needs to be plugged in. They both run off the same electric grid. Thats whats stupid to me.
What's the alternative? eFuels will load full the grid and need even more electricity than EVs. You can also charge from your own solar roof and for cities we need public e-carsharing
Charging stations in parking basements is a fire risk.
THAN DONT INSTAL 1 dollar store PLUGS and install cam's since most burned EVs where vandaliced by activists
So are toasters.
Someone out there watching this video is still charging their EV. While I have already finished gassing up and finish this video later.

In the UK the government is going to force manufacturers to sell a specific percentage of electric vehicles which will increase and they will be fined if they don't do that. Companies such as Vauxhall are getting round it by bringing in cheap Chinese cars to sell, from a country that is using carbon heavy power from coal fired stations to make the steel and cars.
EV in Metropolis like New York makes no sense. There is absolutely no space to park the EV for 30-40 min to charge the vehicle.
You know what people hate more than anything else? Being told they have to buy a specific product or product type.
Welcome to communism!
Exactly becouse the assholes forcing this garbage on us have stock if not are part owners of these companies.
Thank you! Maybe someone should tell that to the government.
You know what people hate even more than that? Being told that a product can achieve 95% energy conversion efficiency, while knowing that it's absolutely impossible by all standardized and authoritative physical models, then discovering that their overall efficiency after recharging from the grid is actually less than 30%.
They’re just trying to get everyone to stay in their 15 minute cities. That’s the ultimate goal with any EV mandates.
Let's see...I won't buy an EV because: and this list was written in 5min:
Too expensive to buy
Too expensive to insure
Lack of adequate charging infrastructure
Lack of security at charging stations
No restrooms at charging stations
Recharging time takes too long
Long lines in some states to access charging stations
Poor range/lots of range anxiety
Poor resale value
No charging with cash possible
Cannot be easily towed
$20k to $30k to replace a battery
Possible spontaneous fires that can melt concrete re-rods
Accident repair shops won't touch an EV
The electrical grid in the US will not support high volumn EV charging demand.
Poor cold weather performance
Poor towing performance on EV trucks
Poor initial quality issues
Too big a carbon footprint.
Biden is an idiot...
I agree with all of them 😀
Here in Norway they cost the same as other cars. Insurance is the same. You can charge in every parking lot. Including in your own garage.
@@adam-kNorway is not the US. Maybe someday more countries will be like Norway, but not anytime soon
Lets see I won't buy a Tesla becuase I am compleatly ignorant about Teslas' and their charging network, fixed it for you.
I laugh at the last one on the list 😆✌
Was in China recently and there’s a boom in EV pick up. It down comes to government support and legislation.
BYD has exclusive contracts with the governments. Charging stations were easy to find and they were everywhere.
From swappable batteries to fast charging stations. They were easy to access. EV vehicles had already been present in China due to its bottom up approach. Cabs, commercial vehicles and buses are electric, hence EVs were already familiar to them and picking up one is made much easier due to familiarity and established infrastructure.
Even Elon Musk himself is trying to establish Tesla in China due to its booming EV market. I was impressed with my trip! It’s extremely technologically advanced there!
I don't even want cars. They are not the future in cities.
I agree. Parking space issues and when I was in Philadelphia I didn’t have my own. There was the bus or the subway. The problem with Philadelphia or NYC is that either one of those cities don’t do a good job with their own infrastructure.
$60k for a work commuter that is more expensive to fuel if you don't have off street parking with a 220v outlet in NYC? No shit it will fail.
😂😂😂 Well said! 💯👏
Long time $TSLA investor, and you’re bang on.
The city needs to make drastic alterations to the infrastructure (not easy in such a dense/“old” city.
the elite dont care, they want to take your car away and you live like a peasant eating bugs in your pod.
@@owenmccord5078 Population density isn't what makes it difficult to retrofit city infrastructure. Density of burdensome regulations and arbitrary laws is what makes it hard for cities to adapt to new changes. Vote out people who think government has any right to act as a central planner.
Insurance is also up to 5x more expensive and tire replacement is about 4x more expensive (plus the tires only last 1/2 as long because of the vehicles heavy weight). When the battery wears out, you have to dispose of the EV as toxic waste because Lithium is toxic to humans, animals, and plants. Plus Lithium will ignite on contact with water, including the water vapor in the air (this is why it was stored under oil in chemistry class when you were a kid and you can find youtube videos of people throwing it in lakes and rivers to cause little explosions).
How can everybody have electric vehicles when our electricity grid already collapses if there's too many christmas lights on the block? Like who thought this would be a good idea???
People who think you should fix the grid because you know that is important or something....
Lets not forget that nearly 79% of electricity is generated by fossil fuels (60%) & Nuclear (roughly 19%). EVs are not really any greener than a high efficiency combustion car. Its a scam at worst & a misconception at best.
The WEF and the UN. It's not actually designed to work, the whole EV's for everyone, but to remove private vehicles, both petrol and the electric ones from the general public and to ensure that we catch public transport or either use our feet or cycle everywhere. Welcome to the NWO!

I love the soundness in the arguments opposing EV's in the comments .

EVs don't need repair. Both that I have owned worked flawlessly, never needing anything but tires and charging. It costs me FAR far less to drive an EV for every reason. Even the payment is less than any ICE car I ever bought. Batteries are warranted for 100,000 miles, or 8 to 10 years. If you don't realize these facts, it's because you have remained willfully ignorant.

EV Sales have gone up nationally since Biden became president. EV's are selling.
@@atrailmckinley4786 , no one ever said "there were no gullible people in the U.S.", the claim that "81 million people voted for brain-dead Joe, even more than America's first black president" is proof they exist....

So let's see, less than ~3 MILLION AE-V's and around ~290 MILLION "ICE" vehicles, it's clear which is most popular and practical.🙄The quesiton is, what is the rate of AE-V's dropping off of the road "due to 'returns/trade-ins for ICE vehicles' as well as spontaneous vehicle fires" versus the rates of purchase....

And his supporters.
Thats what im sayin
FJB but it's the ESG bankers who won't give loans to buy petrol based cars. They control the insurance and banks.
And EVs
They'll be rolled back. The mandates were just empty legislation.
EV's are expensive to buy & insure. Takes a long time to charge, & have been known to burn down the house they're parked in. And even after a couple of years of ownership, their trade in value has plummeted. While my Toyota Prius V was cheap to buy used, cheap to insure, cheap to drive. And is so fast to fill I don't even bother climbing back into the car as it fills in about 2 minutes. And after 6 years of ownership, the cars value has remained about the same thanks to Bidenomics!

If you can charge at home, they're pretty awesome.
I like gas vehicles, I still have a 1993 Ford that gets 40mpg and runs awesome still. Dont fix stuff thats not broken.
I won’t lie, wish I had my old car with no power windows, computers, etc.
Same here. I drive an old Corolla. It costs me about $500 a year in maintenance and sips fuel. I have no interest in an EV

Great, enjoy your gas car! Nobody is trying to take it from you, just as nobody tried to take horses from people back in the early 1900s. Continue to enjoy those $7 gas prices, ha sucker.
@mikeshafer did you not hear him ? He get 40mpg which is great overall if your driving just as much as a EV which is to work and back you will spend more on the EV overtime when something inevitably goes wrong
I never understood why there wasn't just a bigger push for more efficient hybrids. That's a better solution for cutting emissions than EVs are at the moment
More of the emissions are actually from generation of electricity for the power grid. It’s the biggest single source in the USA.
It's because hybrids have some advantages but at the same time combine the worst of both worlds. You still need petrol, do all the maintenance of the engine, build the battery and mine for minerals, need an electric motor and when you really want to be efficient you need a plug-in hybrid, meaning filling the tank AND charging. Such a hassle.
@@let0atreides But most of the time people aren't driving more than 10 miles to get to wherever they need to in their car. If they have a small rechargable battery for those short rides, and only ever need to tap into petrol when they go beyond that, isn't that saving a massive amount of fuel for minimal cost? And you won't really have to worry about fueling or charging, because charging would be done at home and through regenerative braking, and refueling would only need to be done once you've finally exhausted your tank, which will take much longer if you're only using your battery most of the time. I get the resource cost of building a battery is large, but on a small scale like the 20ish mile batteries in PHEV's I can see it being worth it
@@AdrianFahrenheitTepes You're absolutely right about that, but we are slowly transitioning away from polluting sources of electricity generation. Even though it'll take a while to get to where we need, wouldn't it be better for our cars to at least be prepared for that time?
@@hamzerpanzer yes it would.
These videos are funny. Our two Teslas have been amazing cars. Bought both of them for the mid $30k range. We have put over 25,000 miles in them in 6 or 7 months. Obviously they are not for everyone in every situation but we own a home and can charge at home. We also have solar so it all just works. BTW the Cyber truck isn’t rusting but that accelerator peddle thing is real. The insurance thing is real as well, our insurance went up $30 a month by removing two BMWs and adding the two Teslas.
Thanks for dispelling the BS printed on this page and found in this vid.
So what? You now own two cars that have almost no resale value. Once the batteries die, which they will, you will have two pieces of toxic waste. Those solar panels will eventually become toxic waste as well. Not to mention the toxicity of the mining for those batteries. Not to mention the slaves that mined your cobalt. There are many reasons why the electric vehicle sham is finally over. Good for you that you got your toxic toys.
As an EV owner myself I would NEVER recommend one to anyone that's unable to park and charge at home. They're fine for trips actually, but expect to wait 20 minutes every few hours to charge... works for me as even in an ICE car I like to stop every few hours to stretch, use the RR etc, but that's not everyone. But the deal breaker is 100% having to stop and charge when using it for daily driving. Waking up to a full tank every day is amazing... having to think about charging every few days when driving it for daily and having to wait 20 to 30 minutes at a charger? No thanks.
In a place like New York... heeeck no. The infrastructure isn't anywhere close to being ready, so please keep your ICE vehicle, or at least have one as a backup.
The wait time doesn't actually bother me as I like the break. It's not knowing if there will be available charging when you need it.

People were spreading the word that "EVs are good for the environment," but in reality, the manufacturing of EVs is causing environmental damage. If you think about disposing of used batteries, it's bad for the environment, it's not efficient, and it's not good. SDGs are harmful
Shhh. That’s an inconvenient truth.
Like riding in an MRI. Bad 4 your health. Lots of emf's!
Also they eat through tires a lot faster.
And they tend to have short lives compared to cars so in reality there is a lot more waste.
They are doing this so they can charge people more for electric
Yes, to fight in wars for oil or environmental damage because oil production and transport is way better.
FALSE. Batteries can be recycled upwards of 95% of their materials - please research this before posting such crap. And if you think manufacturing EVs causes environmental damage, just wait and see how much pumping oil out of the ground and shipping it across the world and then refining it and then shipping it across the country and then having all of these billions of vehicles spewing toxic fumes into the air and killing millions of people each year... yeah. But at least EVs don't have any tailpipe emissions. I'll take that as a win. You Luddites are hilarious how much you want to cling to old broken techology.
Back in reality, EV sales were up 50% year over year to reach 7.5% of car sales in 2023, over a million.
Hybrids, and plug in hybrids are the way to go. Smaller batteries, fuel efficiency, and you can still use the large network of gas stations.
And nobody else is talking about our outdated electric grid which in no way could handle such a load.

Miss leading, all cars are not selling. People are not spending money.
As someone with a degree in Environmental Science and in Environmental Policy, I can easily say that EVs are not environmentally friendly for a multitude of reasons. Their name should be changed from electric vehicles to coal fired vehicles.
Since I got some push back, I decided to expand on the initial comment.
You obviously didn't pay attention to the limitations he brought up in this video. The US is a sprawling country based around the car. There are people that live an hour from there work in which the car is the only form of transportation as mass transit isn't viable. Here are a few other reasons it won't work here:
1. In general EV creation is very environmentally unfriendly due to toxic nature of batteries, their mining, use of slave labor for extraction.
2. Limited amount of resources to make batteries over a long time scale, once raw material is gone, which it will go quick if outfitting the entire planet, they're done.
3. Rebuilding an entire nations infrastructure and converting from fuel based transportation to electric. Making every single gas station in the country convert to electric on their own dime (as most stations are franchises and would have to be paid for by the owner).
4. The environmental cost of converting the US to electric with digging up all the old fuel tanks, disposing of properly, land taken over by new charging stations and power plants.
5. Increased pricing. The average person in the US makes less than the cost of the average EV, which if you know anything about finance, you never buy a car that costs more than you make a year as it's not an economically viable decision. Not to mention the cost of installing a charger in the home, or higher insurance rates for the vehicle. This means for lower income people it will take them longer to get into the market.
6. As mentioned in the video, lower reliability of EV cars. They just aren't up to snuff, and people in the US can't afford to have their cars not holding up. Once the battery is POSSIBLY damaged the car has to totaled, leaving the owner carless, out anything they put into the vehicle.
7. Transitioning the US to EVs would be costly in time to due the length of time it takes to recharge a vehicle. There goes long distance travel for work and vacations. Unless the charging is dramatically sped up, there goes multi state travel and family vacations due to people not wanting to spend so much of their time off charging their car.
8. The financial and environmental cost of changing an aging electrical grid across the entire country of the US. The trillions of dollars it would take in the creation of energy creation, storage, distribution.
9. The batteries wear down over time, meaning without extremely costly replacements, an eV will not last as long as an ICE car. People will end up spending more on vehicles long term and it will be harder to get into the second-hand market as people will know their money won't go as far and they'll having that battery replacement hanging over their heads. There aren't going to be any decent used, cheap EVs like it is possible to be a $1500 ICE vehicle, meaning many will have no means of transportation.
10. Then there's the huge problem of adoption. If a decent infrastructure isn't in place to support EVs, like now, usage falls off, meaning less reason to expand infrastructure, meaning less EV purchased and made. It's a cycle that most likely can't be broken giving the issues noted above. I know the argument will be but wait, they'll get better over time to counter the arguments I've made, but with mandated adoption, time is not on our side.
11. There are 283.4 million vehicles registered in the US to 330 million people. 283 MILLION CARS. Good luck telling all the those people with all those cars they've got to scrap them all and buy new ones in the next 10-15 years, along with telling every mechanic they need retrained, every car dealer they need refitted, and so on.
The only thing I think viable at the moment is hydrogen based ICEs that can use most of the current infrastructure and would be an easier swap.
It amazes me the cult like behavior of the EV crowd who tie their identity so much to an inanimate object, that by criticizing it, they act like they caught you fucking their wife. It's just a car people.
I have no environmental background, but yes, it is common knowledge to even the slightly educated.
@@jeffb321 You would think, but you'd be amazed (or maybe more disheartened) by the number of people who don't understand electricity doesn't just come out of a magic port in the wall, or do no research into the EV they buy and are surprised by poor performance and all associated costs.
To be fair clean coal is not that bad these days, its just hydrogen and other gass extraction from coal and burning it. And using the carbon for other various products. In the end it does not matter what form of energy we use, we adding to the heat death of the universe simply by being alive. What is the meaning of our lives? It is beating entropy.
