I agree, mandates are unnecessary. EVs are better cars in almost every way and getting better rapidly. ICE vehicles are pretty much as good as they'll ever be. In a couple of years, you'd need to be pretty dumb to pay more for an ICE vehicle that's worse than an EV in every way. It'll literally be an IQ test by that point.

So what they don't tell you: 1) A two car home switching to EVs charged at home is like adding 25 refridgerators to your electric bill. 2) The range is never what they say it is. Yes the fuel efficiency of a gas car is never what they say it is either, but you wont have a problem finding a gas station. A working rapid charger in podunk, Kansas, well, good luck. 3) If you can't guarantee that the juice coming thru the charger isn't created by fossil fuels, well, youre not being very green. 4) The mining and desposing of the EV components can make a diesel truck in a junkyard with its oil pan full look eco friendly.

TheKriss, That is statement is absolutely untrue. Why? because the availability of the data necessary to make that statement accurate does not exist. First off, In places like Alaska, gasoline is easily a 1 dollar more than the rest of the country. In places like California, where they want it to look like Haiti within the next 10 years, its 2 dollars more a gallon than places like SC, OK, TN. But even if you do compile a national gas price average from sites like AAA, you have to compare that to home energy costs, and get a national average there. THAT is the part that is impossible to accurately obtain.

And one other thought on all of this, as the push for EVs is now switching to "hybrid" focus. All the advantages of both worlds, right? I suppose, if you live in places with lots of stop and go traffic. Your highway costs may not decrease enough to justify the cost of the vehicle. But do go ahead and buy one. (I said buy, not lease.) Because nothing I say here with knock you in the head harder, than the cost of keeping a hybrid maintained over time. Your own wallet will teach you far better than anything I have to offer.

Recently, I met this guy at work who purchased a very nice, brand new, shiny black pick up truck and drove from the other side of the state to my area for work. We live in a very rural state with long 'in the middle of nowhere' stretches that barely has enough gas stations and very minimal to non-existent charge stations. His battery estimate said he could make it to my area from his home on one charge without additional charging. His truck battery was almost drained on the highway 45 minutes from my area. He said as the battery drained he was unable to go up inclines or bumps. He called a tow that didn't have a charger to tow him to the nearest charging station. After waiting hours for it to charge... he was able to make the remaining 45 minutes. He was beyond late to make it on time. He appeared to still like his truck. He showed me under the hood... and to my surprise there was no 'engine stuff'. He had his lunch cooking in a crock pot and an expresso machine to make strong coffee. IMO, EVs are short distance transportation only... stay close enough to charge stations and to be able to call someone for help. For safety reasons, EVs are not the best for rural driving. This scenario makes EVs a non-pratical purchase for the majority of people. What if there are upset children that need to go home and the battery is dying? What if someone has an emergency and needs to flee quickly and they can't leave because the EV needs charging? What if a person works for a strict boss and the cold constantly drains the battery which will cause excessive lateness? What if a person has an on call job and needs to be on site within 20-30 mins and they can't leave because the battery is charging? So many scenarios that make me think gas vehicles are the better solution currently.

There are some areas where just paying for parking is hard because the machines won't accept a credit/debit card charge as the card reader's busted or the machine itself is out of order. Sure, you can go the route of using the app to pay for parking, but the app in NYC requires preloading with funds which is not advantageous if you don't live and/or work in NYC on a regular basis. In Westchester county, you can use apps to take the necessary funds for parking without preloading. It just looks as though everything is down to satisfy the whims of the state. No concept of customer service is employed at all.

This is exactly the same problems experienced across the United Kingdom, unless you have a charger at home forget it. Even if you have, its only any good for local journeys because if you have to go a distance and need a recharge, the costs (if you can find a charger that works ) is prohibitive compared to gasoline.

Here`s a one crazy repair story of a EV vehicle from my country. One unlucky owner of a Jaguar I-Pace, a posh electric vehicle, punctured the battery pack cover with a rock. There was no damage to the cells, only to the protective cover. The dealer did not want to change just the cover, but a whole battery pack due to "policy". The cost of battery pack swap was so high the insurance just crapped whole car, it was like 1-2 years old and cost a pretty penny.

When you are plugging in your phone to charge, it does actually negotiate through USB, especially if it's a device with USB C and Power Delivery. Standard USB 2 style chargers usually use a simple resistor to tell the phone what it is plugged into. The same if you plug your device into a computer or game console with USB, the phone or peripheral talks to the computer and sees what maximum current the computer/console/host can provide.

We have had electric vehicles for around 120 years, maybe longer. The people who owned them were short range drivers; so range anxiety was not an issue. We could have kept developing them and had EVs that were simple to run and recharge. The charging issues didn't start until we entered the digital age. Today, if there isn't a computer in there somewhere, people think it won't work. I charge batteries at home using a 110vac to 12vdc charger. I can plug it in to any 110 outlet anywhere in the country and charge up a battery. No communication between the battery and the charger required. There is no reason why any vehicle needs computers to run it.

To have an electric vehicle you have to have a place to charge it. The chargers have to work. The charge needs to take no more than 10 mins for a full charge.

Where I live in Australia, I usually drive from Wollongong to Melbourne, which is usually around an 8hr drive in my petrol car. Last time I went I decided to hire an EV, because I was considering buying one. That 8hr drive turned into a 15hr drive as I had to stop twice to recharge. And even then each recharge wasn't 100%. Not even close. One of the stations had 2 chargers. Both taken. And I really had to do some numbers crunching to see if I would make it to the next charging station. I had to call the petrol stations where the EV chargers were, to ask if they were taken already. 2 out of the 3 I called were taken. The 1 that wasn't, I made it there just before the car died.

It's insanity that we allowed these idiots to make EV requirement deadlines for an unrealistic technology on a large scale. I've thought EVs were cool ever since I was a kid and I still do, but you have to be realistic as to their use. If I lived in a city or in a year round warm climate, it would make a lot more sense to own an EV. If I had enough money to own two new vehicles, one EV for commuting and one gas car for road trips, camping, etc, it would also make sense to own an EV. An EV makes no sense for road trips, towing, long camping trips, or places where it's freezing for months. If you can only afford one vehicle and need a truck for serious towing and hauling and also long trips, an electric truck makes no sense. Now because of these EV mandates eventually there will be a shortage and demand for gas cars and trucks and something will have to be done. That's what happens when you vote for people that want to cripple the USA in the name of climate change for very little benefit, while China, India, and other countries pollute exponentially more and have no limitations. EVs and new technology will automatically be adopted as it starts to make more sense, without the government forcing it upon citizens.

8:09 , not every mechanic will repair it, actually, there are plenty of specialized types of mechanics, in diagnosis, electrician-mechanic, or electromechanical (the last two usually do different things) most likely an EV would be fixed by electromechanical and electrician-mechanics Electromechanics (usually a mechanic in charge of repairing mechanical parts that use electricity to move or use movement to generate electricity, like the electric engines from a Tesla) Electrician-Mechanics (are in charge of the electrical system, battery charging, and transformers if exist, and anything in the interior like replacing the tablet) This is in theory what you learn in school but there are times when u find a mechanic specialized in electromechanical or diagnosis disassembling an engine and assembling it back.

I am a fleet mechanic I have worked on just about every type of commercial heavy duty vehicle and equipment there is. The increase in electric and computer technology is an absolute failure, brand new trucks are out of service more often then olfer high mileage vehicles. A lot of the companies I worked for had older trucks with completely mechanical diesel engines that they planned to get rid of but ended up keeping a few as backups because they were the only trucks to run reliably. My point is I'm not surpirsed 40% of charging stations are failing.

When cars were first introduced, the public did not buy in until they got substantially better.

Why do discussions about electric vehicles (EVs) often highlight the lack of oil changes as a benefit, when oil changes are actually one of the least expensive maintenance aspects of combustion engines? Instead, a more significant financial consideration for EV owners is the high cost of battery replacement. How does this major expense in EVs compare to the relatively minor cost of an oil change in traditional vehicles?

They should stipulate landfills right next to the EV production plants to minimize time taken to dump them in the landfill.

Schedule your stops at various Walmarts as they have chargers. If you are going for a long trip. The issue with Walmart is just sitting to charge your vehicle could get it towed by Walmart. It's an adventure at risking your car getting towed at Walmart during regular store hours while you are inside shopping.

BECAUSE MOST OF US LIVE IN APARTMENTS AND DONT EVEN HAVE HOSES TO WASH OUR CARS WITH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

So everyone moves to the Midwest and then it would be expensive there. More population density equals higher cost of living. Your comment lacks critical thinking.

I have been a automotive mechanic, bicycle mechanic, I have replaced cell phone screens and rebuilt computers. The greater the complexity the greater the maintenance costs, EV's have a deceiving amount of complexity, as well we are at the relative beginning of the learning curve with EV's in comparison to over a century of supply chain , design and manufacturing optimization with conventional ICE vehicles.

@@thebeacon2 Make a EV battery that costs 1000$ and is standardized across the industry (something like 3 or 4 standard pack sizes and interfaces) and then the thing will be viable. Otherwise people here are confusing simple and viable. Simple is replacing a 8000$ module. Simple is replacing a 1000$ module that can no longer be purchased. Viable is not being stuck in either of those scenarios. Then we just need strong enough right to repair that we can go to a junk yard and pull a motor to replace a bad one and there will be plenty of parts around. The battery is really the sticking point because if they all go bad, you won't find good ones at a junkyard when it comes time to need one.

@@GROGU123 And if you count the vehicle as 1 unit you only have to fix 1 car... Uhm wait, hold that thought 😂 For crying out loud there's lots of electronics that can, will and do actually go wrong in electric vehicles, things that aren't being talked about because of shame. Less maintenance is just a terminology that doesn't mean anything without context, so here's something that you also can relate to: What does this or that car cost to own per year given the same amount of use if you compare a similar kind of electric compared to an ICE vehicle. Personally I believe there's a lot of things around electric cars that are just burried in fear and shame and all of that because of climate change propaganda. People wanting to be perceived as good obedient little puppies who purchase the car someone else want them to have so they can be poster sheep of the week... Anyhow, some people got to show integrity and just say: No f'ing way!

The absolute only way this would work is if we had a battery exchange system and you bought the car without the battery the battery is most cost of the vehicle make that a service and then sell the cars without batteries which would make them extremely cheap like 10 to $20,000 at most then it might work

Work at a body shop. Tesla parts are hard to get because they won't supply structural parts to third party companies. They made them so they have to go back to the dealership for repairs. We can fix them, it's just a matter of getting the parts so we usually pay a good markup on them, which the insurance company pays if they want to fix it. It's insane what the parts cost.

The US actually has a large natural supply of rare Earth elements. We just don't mine them because it is cheaper to import them from China than comply with EPA standards. That was one of the things Trump wanted to fix with tariffs and reduced regulations.

It is said, however, that car insurance with Tesla's own car insurance is cheaper than with some other insurance companies. The cost of one for insurance with Tesla is based, among other things, on how you drive

They neeed to produce a portable battery pack the size of a bag or tiny suitcase just to provide extra power to keep the battery warm

It is very understandable why! I am from Europe and here the distances are so small that you can easily travel with one charge. I have been to USA and I know the distances you travel daily, EV’s are not the best option. In USA it is very hard to live if you don’t have a car.

Navigaton can tell you how much you need to charge the car to get to another charger or to the final destination. and that particular part might work best with the Tesla Sedan, which works well with Tesla Superchargers, it is said. on an electric car you should probably always use the navigator if you are going on longer journeys. We must also make it so that it heats the battery until you reach the next charger

No it is price and electricity is generated by coal and gas in Australia

I took a trip from Tx to Fl in an ev, just to see how it would go and even though there were plenty of charging stations along the way, the time it took to get to my destination was INSANELY LONG! I would never own an ev! Way too much time spent on charging...UGH! (edit: I forgot...many of the charging stations weren't even working...not good on a long trip!)

Why does the government "allow" bogus MPE ranges. only charge to 80%, when new range is better. .not over time declines . . "estimates" only in perfect weather conditions, etc. If on an ICE vehicle posted fake MPG, all heck would break out. Recalls, jail time, etc.

It’s just not viable unless you have a house with solar panels in a reasonably sunny place, also if you don’t want to drive it that far. There is also the problem of battery degradation. In Australia they want to stop manufacturing petrol cars by 2030…… I doubt it.

Range anxiety is not one. Prices too high, interest rate too high, technology changing too fast, everything in life skyrocketed. They would have to give them away or cut prices, 0% interest rate for 84 months, and 6 year warranty, minimum and maybe that could entice people. Then you would have to fix all the infrastructure issues too.

Myself I can't use one. Insurance was gonna be over 3k just to start. This is because my home insurance won't tolerate EVs being parked inside my garage. Same laws as wood stoves actually or so they said. I can't use indoor car parking because of weight and space, and my dealership even charges extra for storage during maintenance because it must be stores 12+ feet from any other vehicles or walls/structures. Also, my part of the country losses electricity at least twice a week and always has given I'm on the ocean and deal with strong winds and shitty weather. Oh, and because of our temps this winter I would lose 30% range ALL winter. And, because it must be outside it refused to charge three times this winter for HOURS on end.

One of my favorite issues with electric cars is parking in residential driveways. Most residential driveways are built subpar and are not gonna be able to handle the weight of these electric vehicles.

To be fair a Tahoe weighs more than a Model X

It's a garbage proposition. They are more expensive. Take a very long time to charge relative to filling up with gasoline which is distributed everywhere. Batteries only last a relatively short time and are very expensive to replace. Lithium is not a easy to mine commodity and it's very toxic. They are not very useful in very cold conditions. Their range varies too much and are best suited for local usage. Our electrical grid is already under terrible strain in many areas. And lastly, if the Gov't is pushing it, we should know how easy it is to tax and take away from you.

I’m an EV owner in Iceland and whenever I travel abroad I try to rent a EV. I rented a Tesla Model Y from Hertz in Cananda, last October. It was great, and I would do it again. I plan ahead when travelling so I won´t have to face those charging issues. But like here is Iceland the problem is that there are not enough chargers around the country, but they are working on expanding charging infrastructure. Here is not that much difference in insurance for EV vs. Non EV they are all expensive.
