I’m so happy I have never been materialistic and always a saver. Living frugally and being a minimalist, I retired at 60 free of debt and happily left the rat race workforce in 2021 with my employer matched and unmatched retirement accounts, my nice size savings and my emergency fund which will see through at least 2 years of my expenses. Not to mention collecting my well earned Social Security benefits I paid into for decades. The last 24 years busting my butt working in healthcare as a (RT)Respiratory Therapist and through the Covid/Delta pandemic 😷. So although I have the cash, I won’t waste my hard earned money on an overpriced fancy golf cart/EV. I’ll keep my 50MPG Toyota Prius Hybrid I paid cash for brand new in 2013. The best trouble free investment I ever made. 2 years scheduled free Toyota maintenance, Reliable, Low fuel ⛽️ consumption and expense, Zero issues, Zero repairs, Zero plug 🔌 in charging required. Just gas up and go!. Today, my Prius continues running like new. Saving me a ton of money. Awesome car!. Since retiring I rarely drive. So my Prius will likely outlast me.😂😂😂😂😅😅😅 No EV for me.

You've made the right decision Terry, you won't regret it. Stick with good old internal combustion. It might be old, but it's still at the cutting edge of what's possible. Unlike these silly battery operated things that only the brain-dead would buy. Treat yourself to a nice V8, or even a big powerful diesel. Then you can roll coal every time you overtake some daft sop in a Tesla. Best game in the world.

Then I start collecting money from customers without even selling them something yet (say... 45 bucks) Then I program, maybe 20% of my charging stations to fail the charging but hold onto those sweet 45 bucks for 7 days in my bank account, collecting interest.

We use apps like ABRP ( Abetterrouteplanner) that does exactly that. The app plans the route and indicates where to stop and how long to charge at each stop, with drive times and charge times given to show the total. Usually, it's best to stop at 20% charge and fill no more than 80% as charging slows down afterwards. On long trips, the plan will usually be for 150-mile 'legs' so that charging and coffee/meal/loo breaks coincide, and no time is really lost in charging. Lee refuses to plan like that so that vids can be made showing a drama instead. We know that there are still problems with the infrastructure. But nothing like he claims. And every month more hubs open.

Brilliant! So stressful!! EVs are just rubbish!

We're from Manila & what we have here is the Nissan Kick's e-Power Hybrid that's electrical car that has ICE on board connected to a generator that's when you're using the car & the battery goes low the ICE turns on & charges the battery on the go without needing to stop. So when you get home at 3am, you don't need 8hrs to charge for tomorrow, you don't need a home charger or go to an out of the way charging station thats occupied when you get there. The ICE is low displacement so it's very economical on petrol. And it can go very far on battery alone. I hope more car manufacturers make cars like this using hydrogen internal combustion engine. No more range anxiety.

Thanks for the video. It's hard to argue with this, yet I'm sure that you will get told that you've made it up. The amount of time and money wasted on public charging is staggering and this is before they have more people trapped with EVs and ramp up the charging prices even more.

You could see the stress & frustration on Lees face. It's a genuine experience & one that I don't want!

As great as EVs might be they are far from being the vehicle for the roads today. As with everything these days the governments all believe that if they so so it will happen. The major issues with EVs are simple. 1. Few and far between charging stations. 2. Charging takes to long. 3. The overall cost to own an EV and to maintain it. 4. The fact you can't take your EV just anywhere for repairs. 5. And this is the big one, battery's. The cost is far out of the range of the average person. 6. No one including environmentalist are even considered about the fact that building an EV isn't environmentally sound. 7. The world isn't ready for EVs as far as the infrastructure is concerned. We will need from 3 to 5 times the amount electrical power in order to charge more and more EVs. It's an idea where little thought was put into what it would truly take to incorporate. The world isn't built for EVs and it would be far to costly to make the world an EV world...

LEE, U Really R becoming a Grumpy Old EV owner ..... just sell the thing and buy a proper car 🤗🤗

I have Range Anxiety sat in my house watching this.....

Just imagine if you were trying to get to an event like a wedding on time!

In fairness it would be a great excuse to miss it, weddings are crap! And expensive!

Can't remember when I last filled up with diesel. I just drive up, fill, and drive away. EV charging clearly is as bad as expected away from home.

Thank you for showing us all the pitfalls of owning an EV, have watched so many of your videos, and you are correct they are not the future, they are expensive and the network is nowhere near capable of being practical considering only about 5-8% use an electric car, and they are not green by any stretch to produce. As for charging costs, wow how that has gone up in the last few years, one of the arguments for owning an EV was the cost of charging would be so much cheaper, not when it costs £50 for 180 miles or so, insane. They are a good alternative if you can afford one, have your own overnight charging port, happy to pay cashless, yes it has it's place, but not to push it mainstream on everyone. Being forced to pay cashless is a big issue for many, also you need a smart phone, not for me. And what is all that about the charging stations being with no cover ? Why? Thanks for the videos always try to catch them, and tell others about your site. If it was not for your videos I would not have known about all these problems and costs, as the propaganda machine makes it all look so easy and cheap and green, good to see the reality, or at least a different view, where people at least have the information to make an informed decision. Where is all the extra mining of metals for the batteries going to come from to sustain the vast majority of motorists using EVs, the figures do not add up. How is that green.

When I bought my current car 3 years ago - i vowed my next would be an EV. Definately won't be doing that now. Sticking with my 3.0 V6 Diesel thank you

Electric is not the future 😂😂😂

W e f , look at the agenda ffs 🤷🏼‍♂️❤

I've looked! Tis terrifying. Truly terrifying.

take his advise. don't get an ev. as soon as i put miles on & traveled outside of my zone it was a nightmare! got rid of it! don't do it

Why anybody would put themselves through this is beyond me jt really is, how can EVangelists defend this sh1t seriously? Where I live it's not practical anyway really but just phuck that frankly, petrol for the win.

Because he is spouting a load of rubbish

800 miles range pretty much on my peugeot van,why would i go EV?

Simple. Electric cars for local return home journeys only currently

Evs work for some but I'll stick with my petrol car thanks

My biggest concern isn’t just the cost, the depreciation, the time taken etc, it is that horrible range anxiety throughout the whole journey. I love putting in shell power into my car so every 500 to 600 miles I have the stress of having to find a shell garage 😂
