- Is the electric car revolution stalling? Nearly 50% of EV owners in the US and Australia are considering switching back to petrol cars! 🚗💥 Discover why inadequate charging infrastructure, high costs, and range anxiety are pushing drivers away from EVs. Learn how global trends compare and what it means for the future of electric vehicles. From tax benefits to logistical nightmares, this video covers it all.
While many EV owners are still committed, a significant number are facing challenges that make petrol cars more appealing. In the US and Australia, the lack of sufficient charging stations and the high cost of EV ownership are major deterrents. Even with government efforts to improve infrastructure, the transition isn’t smooth for everyone, leading to a growing frustration among EV users.
Globally, the trend is similar, with an average of 29% of EV owners contemplating a switch back to internal combustion engines. Countries like Brazil and China also show significant numbers of discontented EV users. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on the EV dilemma!

All car prices are. Ridiculous atm
Sorry mate, despite the EVs being useful tools for local use where there are reduced rate chargers available. The initial cost, and massive depreciation makes them an expensive toy. Especially if the set your house on fire. Garages do not or cannot want to work on them and insurance companies do not want to insure them, and vessels do not want to transport them, and apartment blocks do not want them in their basement garages.
They are basically a lost cause, and finally the public's is seeing through the WEF backed government BS.
and despite of everything that you've said, more and more people switch to EVs every year. Go figure!
I 100% agree with you. You've summed it all up on a nutshell. The batteries are still highly inefficient old technology. 1800's invention? No wonder we went over to ICE vehicles!
Lol, nearly every anti EV trope going back 10 years (you forgot to claim the battery will only last 3 years).
Now manufacturers have stopped trying to compete with Tesla, there are plenty of new models costing the same - or less than, a base model Ford Focus 1.0L.
Depreciation is no worse than ICE; the curve is slightly different, but after 5-7 years, EVs are holding their value better than ICE; the perceived high depreciation was caused by certain car makers trying to position badly designed EV conversions as premium models; once a realistic price tag was settled on, even below average EVs sell.
I have had no issues insuring my EV, it cost exactly the same as my last ICE.
I have had no issues with garages working on my car; sure, many small non dealer garages dont have the skills for the electronics or traction battery, but they will have to learn those skills or go bust; as all modern cars are full of electronics; regardless of fuel type.
EVs rarely catch fire (outside of Chinese made cars built for the Chinese market), not like ICE cars which are renowned for bursting into flames, especially after a crash.
There are no restrictions on the transport of EVs on ferries or car transporters; and I only know of one place that stopped EVs using their basement garage - although that was because the EV chargers in that basement garage were being replaced and the sign was meant to be referring to that (Alder hey Children's Hospital)
Meanwhile, EV market penetration has reached a global average of 17%; with sales of EVs growing, while sales of ICE keep falling.
In other words, you are full of it.
Agreed. What many don’t realise is that the entire climate change premise underlying EVs is a lie.
@@ianemery2925The premise of defraying climate change is a lie.
Drive an EV if you want. But they’re a fraudulent proposition.
Regarding prices, you lot in the UK are getting bent over mate.
I don’t think Australia is cheap for new cars, until I see what those same cars cost here in the UK!
Really? My experience is the opposite
Example I just lifted off the web.
New Corolla in England starts at £30,000.
In Australia, it is $28,000!
So basically, half the price compared to England.
Surprised it’s not 99%
Check sources. It's not even "nearly 50%" like he is claiming in his title. Not even close. It's much much lower. Brown Car Guy is spreading misinformation and it makes you wonder why he is doing that.
@@jUQMtDmfNobody ever uses the phrase misinformation except shills working for liars in government and supranational institutions. So get lost.
@@jUQMtDmf Yeah, I thought that this @Brown car guy was championing all motorists needs. Not just the ICE driver.
It’ll be interesting to see how many go back to ICE once EV owners start paying road tax, luxury Vehicle tax, ulez charge and pay per mile.
(Planned to start from mid 2025 onward)
I'm very curious about the older used car market.
My gut feeling right now is that EVs older than 10YO will be scrapped because of very expensive electronics or labour charges.
Compared to old ICE cars which everyone can fix. And generally speaking, fix cheaply.
My relation got an EV for a company car and he saved £300 a month on tax which he is investing in a diesel for his wife! Let people choose !
While they choose everyone else's costs for insurance and soon to be pay per mile will make everyone pay for that person's choices.
@@Angus_____ True I'm relatively late to the EV party but I'm still saving a fortune by not sending more tax to the Government or money to BP or Shell or another oil company. Get an EV now before everyone else does and ruins it, or please don't. 🙂
My EV costs me £78 a month and comes out before tax. I don't even notice the money an ice car would be £300-350 if it goes up in the future I may hand it back but for now it's amazing. And it's only costing them £25 a week vs £100 for diesel
@@Angus_____ That's the whole point of incentives.
@@chrishart8548 Same here too. Why is saving money seen as a bad thing?
Because the manufacturers have to meet the ZEV regs. then it seems logical that they would inflate the prices of ICE cars so that the difference to EV's is minimal.
Petrol is king my chosen weapon.
This isn’t how it is for me. I’ve had an ev since 2020, just a leaf nothing good. If Kahn and the government take away all our tax benefits and low cost of charging away , I will go back to petrol out of principle. What I loved about having my ev was the fact I can charge at home pay no tax and Kahn doesn’t get any of my money. But if they take that away I will go back to petrol. Purely on principle. You need to make us want to drive
No chance of EV here. 45yr-old flat and nothing but on-street parking. There are a handful of public chargers around but the nearest is a half mile walk away. Besides, I just don't trust the range aspect. Until someone comes up with a sub-£15k EV that will do 600 miles on a single charge, then forget it, I'll stick with my 10yr-old 1.4l petrol car.
The Sun's come up, the alarm has gone off, and finally people have woken up!
Rome wasn't built in a day. You can't just replace one infrastructure with another and expect it suit everyone.
Excellent advice 🫵👀!!
And then !?
I live in London and I currently have 4 cars. I own two ICE cars, one EV and I lease another EV. I also have a home charger. I cannot image ever buying or leasing another ICE car again. They simply do not make sense in a city. They are noisy, the vibration, the heat, the smell, and the comparative mechanical unreliability.
Thank you for your videos - Your arguments are always well thought out and factual - Thank you
I know lots of people that have made the switch to EV but not one that’s says they would switch back
One point you didn't cover is the diminishing return offered by batteries as they age,less range and lack of charging infrastructure makes them impractical in large countries.
Meanwhile second hand car prices are ridiculous. Thanks to clowns allowing Khan back in , my car will be the next ulez target and I really can’t afford to shell out to replace a car that is functioning normally.
I bought a car just over 10 years ago the was 2 years old at the time. I was going to keep it forever. Its Euro5 diesel and I think its days are numbered now.
Soo.... You don't think clowns make good choices when voting, then.....
.... how many clowns do you actually know....!?!?
@@andymccabe6712 Okay if you are going to be clever forget the descriptor clowns , I’ll say ‘gullible fools’ 😆
As a Londoner myself, I've yet to speak to anyone that would admit voting for Sadiq Khan.
Current EV-Users are either ashamed or just don't care about the huge costs at public 'fast' chargers.
For everyday use, I don't see a problem with EVs, as long as you have a home charger, and don't do a lot of long journeys. For me, I very rarely journey more than a hundred miles from home, so if I had home charging I'd have no problem driving an EV as my daily. Of course, I'd have a petrol car for weekend use, as well. But the reasons I don't consider an EV as a daily driver have little to do with not having a home charger or the wider charging infrastructure. For me, I have concerns over the cost of insurance, and the risks and serious consequences of EV fires. Moreover, I have a moral objection to a product that requires slave/child labour in terrible conditions to produce it, and its production pre-loads the environment with the equivalent of up to 90k miles of ICE emissions.
I appreciate the torque and acceleration of electric vehicles. However, at present, we still face challenges with infrastructure, affordability, and vehicle variety. Additionally, I personally enjoy off-roading, camping, overlanding, and boating, which makes EVs impractical for me at this time. There's no 4x4 EV pickup of LWB 4x4 EV yet at the right price point for me.
Misquoting the study is not up to your normal standard BCG.
It’s all about charging infrastructure in large countries that havent invested. In NZ I dont need to plan at all for any journey. Tesla.
Same study also stated more people would consider PHEV or BEV than 2 years ago.
What did he misquote exactly?
To me EVs are just plain inconvenient. In my diesel car, I fill up once every couple of weeks.
I just get in and drive it. No fiddling with touch screens or (in)conviences. Infotainment- don't need it. Knee massagers. No thanks.
How can you justify rounding 29% up to 50%?
It’s 49% in aus and 46% in the USA, watch before you comment
@@LuckySpeaks
It was exactly watching it that I realised the title was wrong although I feel it was on purposed and feel cheated.
@@synthmaker really? It’s a little video, who cares that much? Still makes the point that EVs are a waste of time, and only pander to the climate con bullshit narrative used to tax people more
EV charging is not Zero Emission.. the power used to charge EV's came from gas or coal powered power stations... so not zero emission. Sticking with my dirty diesel as its all I can afford. Cars all do the same thing.. get u from a to b. So why change if its good and reliable..
In Australia, by far the biggest selling new vehicles are Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux.
The fact is, any EV version of these utes is 50%+ more expensive and has crap range, towing or load compared to a diesel.
Yes, for some people distance is a factor but the reality is Aussies mainly live in a few big cities such Melbourne and Sydney.
Most of us hardly leave the city limits more than once or twice a year.
EV’s are a gimmick, which is why they do not and will not replace ice.
An EV is inferior when compared to ice by all metrics of amenity and practicality.
So why should it take over?
You going to buy a Nokia brick phone and pay more for it than an iPhone 16?!
That is the EV proposition as they currently exist.
Fail.
Good luck 🤞 with the wet belts on the ranger danger
It’s always good to research the facts before you make public comments in ignorance of them.
I was loaned a petrol manual car while my EV was in for a service. I'd not driven a petrol car or a manual car in 18 months. No thanks, when I got my EV back it was like night and day. Smooth, instant torque, no revving it up to the power band and then changing gear to repeat the same thing, over and over and over. You have driven EV's Mr BCG surely you have a similar experience? My commute to the office is a 120 mile round trip and the EV does it on 50% battery when I get home I just plug it in for the next time. How many people moaning about range do a 120 mile commute each day?
What did it cost you? , what's if worth now? Or are you one who gets the office to foot the bill?
@@onlyme972 My wife has an EV as a company car. It costs her £18 per week in BIK and does the equivalent of 330mpg+. It really was a no brainer of a choice.
Why don't you have a company ?
Power band was it a 2 stroke 🤔
Honda E can't do it. Neither can the Zoe. Or the leaf. Especially in cold weather.
So if somone is on a low income, their monthly car payments wouldn't allow them to own an EV... Not one that could do the round trip.
I was out in my old 911 yesterday. I had a ball running up the rpm range and changing gear. Just lovely.
The problem is charge time.The problem is charge time.The problem is charge time.The problem is charge time.The problem is charge time.The problem is charge time. Nothing would matter if a car could be charged in 2 minutes
Is the problem charge time? 😂
@@BrownCarGuy Yes it is and that wont change unless V=IR changes.
Another survey sponsored by BP. No way is it anywhere like 50%. I know of at least 10 people who own EV's and they all love their cars.
Is it really sponsored by BP?
So is it totally legal to talk to a camera while driving ? 😂
Great video
Going to be good if your selling your petrol or diesel car prices are bound to go up
Hope they do I've still got my diesel car. I've got a choice at the moment but the EV is much nicer to drive around in.
Before this video premiers, i must say I'll never give up my EV. Never!!! 😂😂😂
Owning both is the best decision ive ever made. Nothing beats my model s for a daily, and my zo6 for weekend blasts
We’re delighted for you. For my part, I’ll never be part of a lying scam, which is what EVs are.
@@GT380man oh dang... I won't call them a scam, just not your preference 😊
You meant Non-Tesla EVs
I love my EV and works for me. even in the cold harsh winters in Canada.
I still get an easy 200 miles on 80% even in the cold. It's looking like 300 miles could be possible in the summer I'm getting 5.1miles per kW
That's a very misleading click bait headline, isn't it? I'm disappointed in you, I expected better..
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
You have to look at the people behind the survey and who was paying for it; every survey I have seen from leasing companies say that 90% of EV drivers are choosing another EV; even in the USA.
I dont really know what is going on in Australia., but there wasnt a single public charger in all of New South Wales, last time I looked; and the huge distances between towns/cities are a challenge, even in an ICE car.
In the US, every Republican controlled state is rabidly anti-EV, and are making it as difficult and expensive as possible both to buy them, and to install the infrastructure needed to charge them; no wonder people are struggling ($200+ "EV TAX" every year, on top of all other taxes in some states); and a lack of cheap overnight, or dedicated EV tariffs to charge them at home.
China is a very special case; until roughly 24 months ago; the few locally made EVs were piles of crap - made to the absolute minimum spec that would trigger a payment from the CCP; most of these cars were so awful, they went straight to landfill.
Newer cars are much better;designs, but the race to the bottom price-wise means that corners are being cut - 99% of all the EV fires recorded officially, or unofficially, in the world last year, were Chinese built cars in China; including BYD.
If photos were allowed, I would upload some of an early Chinese EV; that I took myself on the streets of Nanning, back in late 2018/early 2019; it was a complete clown car.
Hybrid vehicles make the most sense, as accelerating is what sucks the most fuel. If the vehicle uses the electric motors for accelerating, then it will sip fuel at cruising speeds giving (even) less pollution and better mpg. The fires and toxic sh1t released into the atmosphere will be a lot less too with a smaller battery ;-)
Simple who wants to get ripped off and then taxed for it e cars are like the vapes you buy in the newsagents disposable and non recyclable how this is better for our planet is laughable 😂
Phev driver here… I’ll never switch back
If you have a PHEV, you still have an ICE in your car so you have not totally switched over have you?
@@andyaccount true but why on earth would I get a fully electric car??
@@stanthemafia I sort of agree with your sentiment, I have a full hybrid after all, but the video was about full electric cars not hybrids
EV’s are not green, everyone in the last year bang on about charging network and range. I thought it was about being GREEN, but that lie seems to have fallen by the way side. All electric cars are throw away items as no one wants to by a second hand EV, who’s battery could be dead in days of buying them. Who has thousands on top of the cost of the vehicle to replace the battery pack. All the motor manufacturers should stand united against the governments of the world and say no we are not pushing this BS on our customers. But they will go broke before they stand together.
I doubt it .
If people go back to petrol then go t will bring forward all the future restrictions, such as parking hikes for fossil and dr8vingbhiles fir fossil, they will force through things to make us change or pay high prices to raise fossil.
Go home and sit down and rerecord this. I gave up and clicked don't recommend after this out of breath video
This says more about the people than the cars.
Go ahead and complain when dementia is even more abundant and you pay £20 for a loaf of bread because the fields are either flooded or dry.
Most of you live day by day and don't see what others do.
People are there telling and showing you but you just don't care yet.
You all rush about saying you must fill up like you are in an F1 rave and then get home, sit on your arses all night complaining! Lol.
I am exaggerating but many do that.
Fail to plan, plan to fail, think about tomorrow, think about lung disease and dementia, think about people you will never meet but can help.
The entire premise underlying CO2, climate change and EVs is lies. It’s not a technology problem but an honesty problem.
You mentioned dementia twice and it is a worry for EVs.
We have all seen those awful bizarre accidents which are an early sign of dementia, when a pensioner wrong foots their automatic Nissan Micra and doubles down on their pedal choice until a collision takes place.
When that starts becoming commonplace in EVs, serious casualties will occur.
Depreciation makes EV cars a disposable purchase, as once the batteries die off, the cost of replacement puts them straight in the scrapyard - which you will probably have to pay for soon given the risk of fire and chemical contamination
