One of the problems with full EV over hybrid at least near where I live in the Northeast is that thanks to the housing crisis more people are living in apartments than houses which makes home charging nearly impossible. combine that with a very low number of charging stations and no one wants a pure EV.

That’s an issue for the (local) government to solve. The Netherlands has many street chargers. At one point, they had more than 50% of all chargers in Europe (and it only has a population of 17,5mln). Charging is no issue over here. We live in a flat and densely populated country that’s suits EVs more than other countries and still EV sales have dropped here too. The main reason is price, I think. EVs are significantly more expensive than ICE vehicles.

As a Tesla owner, I agree with this. I live in a house with a two car garage with a Level II charger, so owning one is not a problem. I also just road tripped the Tesla from NY to FL. Tesla Superchargers were not a problem, in fact with all the driver automation, great infotainment, trip planning, power, ability to keep HVAC running, etc. it was one of the most comfortable cross country trips I have taken. The inconvenience came when the hotel we were at for 10 days did not have working level II chargers. Same as apartment dwellers! In addition to that, the USA outlet choice versus Europe I think bites us with this. Most of the world uses 240 volt outlets, but North America choose 120 volt. It even hurts the performance of our vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, etc. but it’s not as noticeable. Where it is noticeable is outlet charging in a pinch. IMO, in Europe you could outlet charge much more realistically in a pinch versus the USA, which is virtually useless if you drive more than 20 or 30 miles in a day.

@@billm47645 Normal European outlets can charge with only 3.7kW. Most EV owners with a driveway will have a 3 phase 16A 11kW charger installed. You can have 240V outlets (for washing machines for example), can’t you? At 16A that would still only give you the 3.7kW.

I updated my prius 2007 into plug-in hybrid with the latest 20 kWh Nissan Leaf batteries. It's still running strong after 17 years! Incredible! Best car ever !

Someone famous once said, "we didn't step out of the stone age because we ran out of stone." We are not going to leave the oil age because we will run out of oil, the electric age needs to be as good, if not better, for more people to get on board.

Wow, hi Justin, didn't expect you here :D

Dude, you mentioned that crappy Ford SUV from 2005 but failed to mention that in 2004 Lexus released the acclaimed RX400h which finally brought a powerful hybrid drivetrain to passangers vehicles.

If the only way to interact with my car is a tablet I’m not buying it. Give me proper switchgear

The thumbnail with the Prius crushing the GM EV is way better than the other one I saw.

I have nothing against EV, especially in Motorsport... but I think Synthetic Fuel are much more appealing than EVs. If you can have Synthetic Fuel + Hybrid, it will be the best combo

The resources to make evs and to the demand for them is too much and we have not enough materials for the batteries. That's why prices for evs are ridiculously high.

They mentioned the Spark, which (in Korea at least) isn't electric, so I'm wondering if they got mixed up. Over here, the volt is an old version of electric car they don't sell anymore. The newer Bolt is selling well. Kind of amusing though, as Volt & Bolt are spelled the same in Korean. The biggest selling EVs here though are the Kia EV6 and the Hyundai ioniq 5. But EV sales here are huge!

I think EVs are here to stay, but they won't be the only kind of powertrain in the road, with internal combustion still being a looooooong time with us, just using e-fuel/biofuels and with some degree of electrification.

Bro, you leave donut too?

If a headline asks a question, the answer is no.

For me, and I suspect for many, it's too soon to rely on a pure EV. The infrastructure just isn't there yet. But a rechargeable plug in hybrid is the best of both worlds. In a pinch you can use gas. And with very minor modification a hybrid can be used as a generator in the event of a power outage. You let the gas engine run on idle and it can charge batteries that can run your house if need be. That could be a very useful feature if you live somewhere with a fragile power grid.

Ayo what's Justin doing over here. Hi justin

Ai thumbnails look naff 😂

Automakers need to focus on making affordable EVs which don’t prioritize the 0-60 times or horsepower. I switched from ICE to EV last year and yes, range anxiety was a concern then, but isn’t any more. It may take a while, but society desperately needs to move away from burning fuel for general transportation, and we need to do it 20 years ago.

1:16 the Billion people living without electricity aren’t buying ANY new car so it makes no sense to include them in any study.

People will be comparing Hybrids vs EV all the time, claiming how hybrid will kill the EV in forums just like how android will kill the iPhone. Meanwhile the simple nokia phone / pure ICE cars are the real victims being murdered by EV and hybrid combo. No one will admit to buying a pure ICE car once the hybrid and EV bro's boast about fuel savings and acceleration.

26st like is me

As a hybrid owner, f hybrids. I wouldve bought electric if they were affordable back when i bought it.

We need an internal combustion engine

I don't care how I use my car "on average" For the last 3 years I was driving alone for university everyday, sometimes taking 1-2 friends with me on a way back home. But then I was regularly doing over 250+km trips (one way) with no option to recharge a car, 3 passengers and full trunk. That plus regular trips to a local track (100+ km away) with full cargo capacity of a car used (if we weren't driving with all seats taken, rear seats would be folded to accomodate more junk in a trunk). As someone who ain't rich enough to live in a house with garage, home charging ain't for me. And even if I had this option, EV wouldn't work for this 10% of a time. And that 10% is crucial.

first like 2nd comment 2nd view

As you say at the end, it's just Tesla sales dropping, not EVs overall. I think people are put off by Elon Musk. I certainly wouldn't want to give him my money.

I drive a 2019 Ioniq HEV. Advertised as 75mpg but I regularly hit 80+. That thing is a forever car for me. 650 miles on a tank. Electric just isn’t cost effective

I want an EV but I really dont want to give Musk my money. My Coworker has a Model 3 with the automated driving. It is pretty impressive. All the other manufacturers are dropping the ball on only making high end luxury EVs. That is why I have not bought one. Could I afford a Polestar 4 sure, do I want the monthly payment no. Ideally I want a Mazda 3 EV or Miata EV. I know sacrilege, but I dont care what petrol enthusiast think. If the rumored Tesla hatchback comes out I will probably buy that.
