    I bet he can't wait to use a Tesla Supercharger. Maybe trade that in for a Cybertruck in a couple years.

    Using tesla chargers will help, those things have up times of 99%

    I’m not sure I believe this.

    This is a MASSIVE MISREPRESENTATION of how owning and using an EV works. They don't talk about Level 2 charger install at your home, the difference in charging networks, utilizing Plug-share or other apps to help navigate to spots...LEARN AND EDUCATE YOUR AUDIENCE!

      Yep that was a wierd omission to Ignore Level 2 Chargers.

    Here in canada people say they lose 70% of rang in winter do to cold.
    They need to heat the battery so that also takes away from your power and you lose 20% if you use heat or AC and like your phone after a year the battery won't hold that 100% charge even if your not using it then on year 2 it's worse.
    Also if it's to cold it can take days to charge because most of the power is going to the battery heater so that's costing you $$$ and with the power company having full say on what they want to charge that could be any price they like,
    I seen a youtuber complaining about the city won't let him have a charger in his house because the power system can't handle it
    So he charges at a station that takes 2 hours and it cost him 50 cents kwh and 25 cents a minute to us the station,
    The power line to my house will need to be updated and 3 years ago they told me $2000 to run a line from the pole to my house so I can put in a charger, ,,, Cost double a gas car can't drive it like a gas car cost more to run, in 5 to 8 years you need a new battery $$$$$ and 1 big one people don't know is they bur up tires twice as fast as a gas car and the tires cost more, ... Ill take an electric gold cart for local store runs and my gas car for work

      Bunch of false rumor nonsense. That is just creative writing. Makes zero technical sense.

      "lose 70% of range in winter do to cold." NOT POSSIBLE!

      "like your phone after a year the battery won't hold that 100% charge" A BEV is NOTHING LIKE a Phone battery.
      There is extra capacity in all OEM EV batteries which the owner can not charge to the hardware limit 100%. That extra capacity is supposed to be slowly incorporated as the battery degrades. Thus the effective 100% capacity last much longer easily handful years.
      The current fleet data show the first few years EVs degrade fast down to a handful % percent loss typically close to the extra capacity amount. Then from year 3 to under a Decade old it very slowly degrade almost Plateaus roughly around 9% +/- 2% loss. It's after a decade old where it start degrading fast again until it's fictionally unusable at 35% loss just over 15 years. It's basically a downward S Curve.
      This is real technical data on the degradation of EV batteries based on real world fleet data, not theory. You are use technical falsehood to push fear mongering propaganda.

    Heck with the infrastructure, charging is TOO SLOW! 1.5 hours of charging to gain 3 miles of range is INSANE. Granted that wasn't at a "Fast" charger but charging a battery vs filling up a gas tank, charging doesn't even come half as close as the amount of range you can add in a given amount of time pumping petroleum. If I have to charge it, I don't want it, I'll keep my petro burner.

      Impossible for 1.5 hours and 3 milles ….

    • @Neojhun
      @Neojhun Před 11 měsíci

      22 Miles per hour is about the most realistic Level 2 charging you can get at home for a F150 Lightning. That is useable but slow, that truck is just soo inefficient.

      @@patricegregoire2685 WTF The charger said 7.3kW AC and only added 3 miles. That doesn't make mathematical sense. Assume an imperfect charge of 6kW for 1.5 hours = 9kWh which is about 20 miles range. Not great but useable.
