EVs are designed for the suburban middle-class with a modest but required commute, Cities should have no cars period. Obvious bullshit here.

Actually it is not true about the range, at least nowadays it is not a big problem. Like, yes, few cars like, Tesla Model S Plaid, or Ludacris cars, they have way too much power, which makes battery overheat, they lose their capacity that way. But if you drive normal electric car, in ten years you go from 100% to 80%, but it still does not matter if people charge their cars every day, that can be felt only if you drive like 300-400km or for Americans, 190 - 250 then there might have some problems, especially in Winter, but in Europe, I don't know who normally drives so long, it is in Latvia probably like 1% or even less, like only truckers drive so long normally in Latvia, and they mostly drive what they can drive in 9 hours if I correctly remember. So, range is no problem, because EV is like phone, you can charge it over night or when you don't use it, it is not like we have gasoline phones, bad comparison, but you get the idea.

Retired teacher here. A few decades ago, my district decided to use a math curriculum that had no textbooks. YAY! Massive savings! Let's adopt it for all the grade levels! The problem was that since there were no student textbooks, the teacher had to Xerox each day's worth of material for every single student. So the money they saved by not having textbooks was instead spent on copy paper, toner and clicks. Not to mention all the additional wear and tear on the copiers. As the school year progressed, it became very painfully obvious that the district had made a horrible decision that ended up costing far more then what they saved. That program only lasted a year before it was scrapped. I see the same mind set with EV. And I see the same outcome heading our way. Personally, I think the government already knows this EV thing is heading south fast and right before those mandates kick in, there will be legislation passed very quickly and quietly to push it back a few years. Then, when we still can't meet the timelines, the whole thing will be scrapped. Anyone else remember the great metric conversion attempts?

There may be situations where it is _warranted_ to "end the life of the unborn child" at some stage but "ANY" is the disqualifier because it goes BEYOND "life/death medical emergency, 'my 9 yr old daughter was [redacted] by her daddy'." Those were not the issues in question, those which were are "I don't want no stretch marks, kill it!", "My folks cain't have no mixed-race baby, kill it!", "I don't want no kid right now, kill it!" etc. This is effectively utilizing "abortion as a means of birth control" rather than people exercising SELF-CONTROL. But clearly a godless society moves further and further away from "accountability/personal responsibility/morality" etc., because at that point "all forms of moral law" are left to be "determined by the entity which will benefit or suffer as a result of implementing those moral laws" rather than looking to a "moral-law Giver" such as God....

In India, extreme heat closed some schools for more than a week. In Greece, extreme heat was followed by hundreds of wildfires. It wasn’t hot everywhere-in San Francisco, I had to turn on the heat in July. But California was an anomaly, and the average global temperature this year was hotter than ever in recorded history. It’s likely that it hasn’t been this hot for more than 100,000 years. Between January and November, global average temperatures were 1.46 degrees Celsius higher than the average in the late 1800s, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. September was 1.75 degrees hotter, a fact that one climate scientist called “absolutely gobsmacking bananas.”

And that's not all - we will drill this oil out of the Earth from the far side of the world, then we'll load it up into huge shipping vessels that sometimes spill it all into the oceans, but when it does arrive into our country, then we'll spend insane amounts of energy refining it, and then we'll ship it all across the country in trucks or pipelines, then we bury it back into the ground, and then we charge crazy prices for it. And it's explosive, so sometimes cars will catch on fire and/or explode. The vehicles will also have thousands of moving parts, versus the dozen or so for an EV, so you'll have to get it fixed a lot by people who understand it and like getting their hands all greasy.

EV vehicles had already been present in China due to its bottom up approach. Cabs, commercial vehicles and buses are electric, hence EVs were already familiar to them and picking up one is made much easier due to familiarity and established infrastructure.

Insurance is also up to 5x more expensive and tire replacement is about 4x more expensive (plus the tires only last 1/2 as long because of the vehicles heavy weight). When the battery wears out, you have to dispose of the EV as toxic waste because Lithium is toxic to humans, animals, and plants. Plus Lithium will ignite on contact with water, including the water vapor in the air (this is why it was stored under oil in chemistry class when you were a kid and you can find youtube videos of people throwing it in lakes and rivers to cause little explosions).

Even the payment is less than any ICE car I ever bought. Batteries are warranted for 100,000 miles, or 8 to 10 years. If you don't realize these facts, it's because you have remained willfully ignorant.

And is so fast to fill I don't even bother climbing back into the car as it fills in about 2 minutes. And after 6 years of ownership, the cars value has remained about the same thanks to Bidenomics!

If they have a small rechargable battery for those short rides, and only ever need to tap into petrol when they go beyond that, isn't that saving a massive amount of fuel for minimal cost? And you won't really have to worry about fueling or charging, because charging would be done at home and through regenerative braking, and refueling would only need to be done once you've finally exhausted your tank, which will take much longer if you're only using your battery most of the time.

So what? You now own two cars that have almost no resale value. Once the batteries die, which they will, you will have two pieces of toxic waste. Those solar panels will eventually become toxic waste as well. Not to mention the toxicity of the mining for those batteries. Not to mention the slaves that mined your cobalt. There are many reasons why the electric vehicle sham is finally over. Good for you that you got your toxic toys.

As an EV owner myself I would NEVER recommend one to anyone that's unable to park and charge at home. They're fine for trips actually, but expect to wait 20 minutes every few hours to charge... works for me as even in an ICE car I like to stop every few hours to stretch, use the RR etc, but that's not everyone. But the deal breaker is 100% having to stop and charge when using it for daily driving. Waking up to a full tank every day is amazing... having to think about charging every few days when driving it for daily and having to wait 20 to 30 minutes at a charger? No thanks. In a place like New York... heeeck no. The infrastructure isn't anywhere close to being ready, so please keep your ICE vehicle, or at least have one as a backup.

Miss leading, all cars are not selling. People are not spending money.

As someone with a degree in Environmental Science and in Environmental Policy, I can easily say that EVs are not environmentally friendly for a multitude of reasons. Their name should be changed from electric vehicles to coal fired vehicles. Since I got some push back, I decided to expand on the initial comment. You obviously didn't pay attention to the limitations he brought up in this video. The US is a sprawling country based around the car. There are people that live an hour from there work in which the car is the only form of transportation as mass transit isn't viable. Here are a few other reasons it won't work here: 1. In general EV creation is very environmentally unfriendly due to toxic nature of batteries, their mining, use of slave labor for extraction. 2. Limited amount of resources to make batteries over a long time scale, once raw material is gone, which it will go quick if outfitting the entire planet, they're done. 3. Rebuilding an entire nations infrastructure and converting from fuel based transportation to electric. Making every single gas station in the country convert to electric on their own dime (as most stations are franchises and would have to be paid for by the owner). 4. The environmental cost of converting the US to electric with digging up all the old fuel tanks, disposing of properly, land taken over by new charging stations and power plants. 5. Increased pricing. The average person in the US makes less than the cost of the average EV, which if you know anything about finance, you never buy a car that costs more than you make a year as it's not an economically viable decision. Not to mention the cost of installing a charger in the home, or higher insurance rates for the vehicle. This means for lower income people it will take them longer to get into the market. 6. As mentioned in the video, lower reliability of EV cars. They just aren't up to snuff, and people in the US can't afford to have their cars not holding up. Once the battery is POSSIBLY damaged the car has to totaled, leaving the owner carless, out anything they put into the vehicle. 7. Transitioning the US to EVs would be costly in time to due the length of time it takes to recharge a vehicle. There goes long distance travel for work and vacations. Unless the charging is dramatically sped up, there goes multi state travel and family vacations due to people not wanting to spend so much of their time off charging their car. 8. The financial and environmental cost of changing an aging electrical grid across the entire country of the US. The trillions of dollars it would take in the creation of energy creation, storage, distribution. 9. The batteries wear down over time, meaning without extremely costly replacements, an eV will not last as long as an ICE car. People will end up spending more on vehicles long term and it will be harder to get into the second-hand market as people will know their money won't go as far and they'll having that battery replacement hanging over their heads. There aren't going to be any decent used, cheap EVs like it is possible to be a $1500 ICE vehicle, meaning many will have no means of transportation. 10. Then there's the huge problem of adoption. If a decent infrastructure isn't in place to support EVs, like now, usage falls off, meaning less reason to expand infrastructure, meaning less EV purchased and made. It's a cycle that most likely can't be broken giving the issues noted above. I know the argument will be but wait, they'll get better over time to counter the arguments I've made, but with mandated adoption, time is not on our side. 11. There are 283.4 million vehicles registered in the US to 330 million people. 283 MILLION CARS. Good luck telling all the those people with all those cars they've got to scrap them all and buy new ones in the next 10-15 years, along with telling every mechanic they need retrained, every car dealer they need refitted, and so on. The only thing I think viable at the moment is hydrogen based ICEs that can use most of the current infrastructure and would be an easier swap. It amazes me the cult like behavior of the EV crowd who tie their identity so much to an inanimate object, that by criticizing it, they act like they caught you fucking their wife. It's just a car people.

@richhenry8004, but if Democrats implement it because people keep voting for them then.... Cash has made several vids on NY and just how far it's fallen with the ridiculous costs of living there in "tiny apartments" which are overpriced, businesses that are closing due to increasing crime and now this push for "all-electric vehicles".... People have voted themselves into these conditions, living in "rat traps" with the literal 4-legged rats with so much trash in the streets and the fact it costs as much or MORE for these crappy apartments in NY than ~$500,000 HOMES with LAND in other places across the country.... There were Chicagoans and New Yorkers who voted Democrat over and over and continually complain about "the consequences" which were a direct result of voting Democrat but then go right back out and "vote Democrat!!" again. It was Obama ironically who emphasized, "The definition of insanity is, doing the SAME THING OVER AND OVER, EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT!!" Yet "Democrat voters" do it every election.😑

You're in luck. EV mandates don't start until 2035 and by then there will be millions of robo-taxis on the road. You will never need to own a car.

New York City is not a great use case for electric cars because most of the city is connected through mass transit and the vast majority of dwellings in NYC are apartment buildings with no private garages or charging stations so overnight charging is not possible.

I've personally drove electric cars when i was doing uber. And i can tell you its exciting. The instant torque is insane. Alot of people that drive or have driven EVs will quite likely say the same thing The problem is the charging stations. There is no more room in Manhattan to put a charging station. Way too much congestion and traffic.

The issue is gas cars still work pretty well even into the 110-300k miles. If you have youtube you can fix them relatively cheaply yourself, and a 20 year old hooptie can be purchased for $500-$1000. They remain the best option for most of us.

As someone currently commuting in a 21 year old hooptie that is 29 miles away from turning 200k miles, I wholeheartedly agree. After 5 years of daily 60 mile commutes I’ve got about $6k in it (including a $2k trans rebuild). Which is maybe 8-9 months of payments for a new Tesla. Or new anything for that matter. And I could easily afford to buy new if I wanted. I just hate wasting money. But a lot of people don’t have a choice.

Bro it makes no sense owning a car in NYC

Availability of chargers is only a small part of the EV problem. The dirty little secret they don't want you to know is that the long term pollution of EV batteries far outstrips the footprint of modern gas vehicles. Not to mention, all the critical components to make these batteries come from countries that are hostile to the US, like China. Lastly, a large amount of the mining for lithium battery components is done in terrible, nearly slave-like work conditions in non-first world countries! But hey....at least we THINK we're doing something good, right?

Toyota was accused of being an EV laggard, but one thing they did that was smart was to retain their EV/hybrid technology, and this is looking like a winner. No plug-in infrastructure required, the battery recharges from simply driving around. Plus you get the benefits of lower fuel consumption, peace of mind etc.

Plenty of barriers in NY for EV owners by the looks of it. I’m in Australia and our weather doesn’t get really cold. I live in an apartment complex with parking but we don’t have any charging ports but there’s some straight across the road. A friend recently bought an EV and had a charging port installed at his residence. Sales of EVs doubled in 2023. 80% of EVs in Australia are made in China (including Tesla, MG and BYD. Second hand EVs are imported from Japan (we both drive on the left side) for about $13000 but then there’s the problem about how much life is left in the battery? Which doesn’t go well for EV resale value. Australia doesn’t have a car industry btw. Those ugly Cybertrucks are banned in Australia and Europe, they don’t meet local standards, though I have seen them in Moscow, Russia
