Hello Scotty I have had three brand new Ford focus cars until they stopped making them in 2018. I drive 140 miles mostly freeway a day to one of the big three engineering facilities. I change my oil every 10 to 15 thousand miles. I never had a problem with them even when they got easily over a hundred thousand miles. One 2014 made it to 120.000 miles before the cvt trans went out and Ford gave me $$$. 2nd 2018 focus brand new made it to 180.000 miles before a deer took it out. 3 Rd I just bought another 2018 with 50.0000 miles and it's going strong. My mobil one extended performance motor oil does a great job at keeping my engines going. Do you have any insight why the oil holds up for me other than I don't have start and stop driving. Just sharing my story

A few miles a year should be an EV. The gas car still needs an oil change every six months and to be serviced one a year. You could probably take the EV in every few years to have brakes and trires checked. With one peddle driving, brakes do not get used but do need to cleaned every couple of years. My Sienna costs 20X what my Leaf does for service. And... with so little driving your could just use your regular plug for a trickle charge.

Maybe if you constantly drive with range anxiety on a warm day. With some normal spirited driving on a cold day tbat 350 miles range is more like 200-250 on a brand new battery. With various accessories running and some spirited driving you're lucky to get 100 miles out of it. Same car a few years later you're lucky if you get 50-75. Batteries are no where near as cheap as you claim. A branf new long range battery back for something like a Ford or any other large pack is still $20-30K. So that $3000+ you "saved" on gas (if you're not paying for charging), goes out the window. That's not even considering the huge depreciation of the vehicle itself. Or the insane repair bills, of any crashed EV...if it doesn't turn into a fireball.

Toyota hybrid combustion engines have a chain, not a belt, which is a lot more reliable and durable. Most of the electricty is generated when braking and when driving at higher speeds (80km/h+)when the momentum of the car contributes to the efficient charging of the battery. There's no clutch either which eliminates another wear component. Since the electric motor does most of the braking, when anticipating and driving smoothly, the brakepads and discs will last you virtually forever!

DC fast chargers can fully charge a vehicle in 45 minutes...which is the time it takes to fill my ICE car from fumes 9 times over! The tech is simply not there to make EV cars worthwhile for the average driver. If that weren't enough, the supply of lithium and cobalt, needed to make the lithium ion batteries in products ranging from cell phones to EV cars, is extremely limited when compared to the supply of oil. If the environmentalists are correct and our current oil supply will be depleted in 300 years then how long will the global lithium supply last if every vehicle on the road became an EV?

I live in Australia and last month did a 3450klm trip on my holidays. I stayed at 6 different locations in 3 states and only noticed 1 EV charging station {Tesla}. On some parts of this trip service stations were 150klm apart, Australia is so remote, after this trip I would only replace my current car {2016 WRX} with a new ICE model. Also, electricity prices have increased 30% in the last 2 years in Sydney so an EV is not that appealing for cost savings. Might consider a hybrid at best, but at 65 yeas old I see an ICE car for the years I have left driving.

Hey Scotty, I bought my first ev in 2015......82 miles range and no chargers installed anywhere on the highways and byways. The range anxiety was too much. 6 months later, I went to a 2016 Chevy volt PHEV with 53 miles range and a gas engine @ 40 mpg to get me anywhere using gasoline. My leased VW e-golf was handed back and no fees, I did not need to payoff the lease. (that was kind of magical) I drove happily for 120,000 miles, half on electric and half on gas. It was a great car. Then in January 2022 I just happened to see a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5............I had done my research and it had / has 303 miles of EPA range........all electric. It can charge in 18 mins giving me 225 miles of range. It can power my home when the utility company fails. It came with 2 years of free charging at EA stations and the stations were every 200 miles on all major USA highways. Things sure came a long way from 2015. I now have over 52k miles and 2 years under my belt. THE best car I ever bought or drove. It cost me a net of $45k out the door after incentives. It has saved me US$7,000 in gasoline.......so I guess the car cost me $38k net. NOW, charging at home is less than 1/2 gasoline equivilent. I will own the car until my death in 30 years from now and the net cost......net cash flow for the family is like minus US$20k. Every gas car cost me: 2008 Saab......US$35k net out the door cost PLUS fuel.......$10k.......plus maintenence $10k less zero trade in after 8 years..................The net cash flow cost of that ICE car........US$55k. BOY, evs are soooooo much cheaper...............so much nicer to drive...................so fricking fast. If I had a crystal ball, in 2023, I would have bought my Tesla model 3 RWD, 272 miles per charge car for US$30k net out the door. EVs are so much better and cheaper than ICE. 2024 Acura RDX.......very close to US$50k out the door and you got to buy shitloads of expensive and poisonous gasoline every week....ouch.

My wifes lease is up, and we are considering leasing a hybrid. I dont really have anything against a hybrid except when they they start to get higher in miles (when problems with the hybrid system might occur, since the repairs might be higher). So, for a lease, im ok with it. Granted, I've seen many older hybrids still out there, but who knows how much they may have paid in repairs (maybe none). So, for now, im dipping my toe into hybrids with a lease and see how i like them..lol. My car (which isn't a lease) is still a regular n/a 2.5l, which im pretty happy with. @scottykilmer , thanks for all the work you put into the videos and all the advice. Watching every day!

I would consider the Hyundai Elantra hybrid with 10 year 100,000 mile warranty and 36,000 mile complimentary oil changes.

Great videos !! Keep up the good work.

You really covered a far broader array of issues then most any of your videos from rentals, to infastracture to incomes. You have crossed over from autos and into economics. Nicely done bravo.

Excellent video as usual.

Great work Scottie!

Hybrid vehicles are more likely to catch on fire.

it will be a cold day in hell before i buy a ev. to me hybrids are the only thing that makes since if you want people to use less gas. but making motors smaller with turbos is the dumbest thing yet. i will just stick with gas even if its 10.00 a gallon.

If the engine is designed for a turbo there is nothing wrong with turbo charged engines most all diesels are turbo charged they out last gasoline engines

Love this new format!

I live in the UK, there are no charging ports on street lamps for EV's. You find random charging stations on a street but not in lamp posts!

I'll stick with gas. I don't see why I would spend more on a hybrid to do the same thing. The gas savings is piddly compared to cost, which most are even paying interest on. It's also less complex, less to go wrong.

Nah, hybrids are less mechanically complex and less moving parts. Asides from the gas savings, which is a lot, hybrids have smoother rides, less moving parts than ice vehicles, no alternator, no timing belt, and the electric motors takes a lot of the wear off the engine so the engine will last a lot longer. If the battery does somehow died, if only like $3k to replace. Whereas a gas only transmission or engine dies...

i will suggest a hybrid to get you out of heavy traffic easy and quick. even my old hybrid, battery replaced, everything else was over mileage but it ran like new because it has the integrated motor assist powered by a 300 volt battery. it helped me alot saved me money and gave me a couple of years before replacing other parts and the clogged exhaust system. also i would rather replace a battery in 12 years than replacing an expensive alternator every 3-4 years 🎉

I don't drive anymore so I can't really say much. I enjoy Your Videos.

Another AWESOME VIDEO!!!!

I would never consider an EV for all of the reasons you have mentioned Scotty. My wife and I have been considering a hybrid pickup for several years now. Waiting for improvements in dependability and the price to come down or at least stabilize.

Just to many issues with BEVs... Plus, gas engines are so good these days.

Hybrid vehicles have been the best answer for years. Great fuel economy, affordable initial price, and gas unlimited range. Thank you Toyota!

These people in comments are dumb gas guzzlers, hybrid is way the way to go. They hate batteries so much, but they use batteries in their phone and computers lmao

Great video 🎉

We have a Leaf Plus and a Sienna living in Ottawa, where is gets cold. In the winter, we charge it more often. The EV does 90% of the driving and it is fun to drive, lots of power and a low center of gravity. We only charge it on our level 2 at home. We at not interested in longer trips using the undependable charger system, each with their own payment system. The Sienna does long trips, for carrying more people and stuff trips, and locally for shopping on the two days a week when my wife takes the Leaf to work. The Sienna cost 20 times what the Leaf does to Service. In 3 years with one checkup a year, the Leaf has had a new cabin filter and its brakes cleaned (pads at 90%) since we use one pedal driving. The Leaf will last us until the better batteries arrive and the charger system improves stardardizing on the Testa system.

You need a great grid for EVs to gain mass acceptance.

that will never happen because the earth can't produce enough copper for everybody.

I have a Ford hybrid sedan on recall. Can't charge battery; risk of fire. Ford has no fix; waiting 6 months thus far. Wish I had bought a Toyota.

As always Scotty, you're Spot On as far as I'm concerned. Hybrid right now is the best way to go. They'll run the e-cars until they realize that people just stop buying them.

Very informative

The time it takes to charge an EV, I could drive from Chicago land area to st.Louis

My wife and I each drive a Tesla Model X. Neither one of us have had any problems. We charge off of our solar roof so we truly are 100 green. Have not seen a gas station since 2016

In 40 years of car ownership I’ve lost 1 ICE car to a fire and another ICE car to wires burning up. So far it’s 8 years in my 2016 Model X and I have forgotten what gas even smells like Statistically speaking ICE gas have a much higher incidence of catching fire. I hope you never experience this either in a gas car or an EV

Happy that the market is so different in Canada (espaciallly in QC) where electricity is cheap and the charging stations are everywhere, the demand is at an all time high and keeps getting bigger since gas price keeps rising here and there. really happy in my egolf

Ok, I prefer neither hybrid nor electric vehicles. Please stop buying or making modern disposable trash!

Great stuff

everyone likes their vehicles loud, but the putter of a petroleum engine does serve an important safety purpose. Pedestrians and others in the area of the vehicle can hear it as it approaches, and they are better able to track its movements as it crosses through the area they currently occupy. Silent operation can be particularly deadly when electric vehicles are traveling at low speeds. In response, the U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has set a new rule that all hybrids and electric vehicles must emit some sort of audible warning sound at speeds below 18.6 mph. The feature has already made its way into dozens of models produced in the past few years, most often in the form of artificial road noise. Regulators expect the rule to prevent around 2,400 injuries each year. Even still, millions of vehicles already on the road lack the feature, making it possible for a pedestrian to be struck without any prior warning.

Which one would the Amish choose?

They should do away with all electric vehicles why not try natural gas instead of electric and see how it goes against the electric car but as for me I’ll stay with the gas engine because it doesn’t take it 45 minutes to fill up

Thank you

During the Superbowl Volkswagen ran a commercial starting with the original split window bug and ended with the new electric models. Apparently to show how far they have come. I'd buy the original bug in a heartbeat, but never would I buy any of the new electric models. I know they couldn't build the original bug if they wanted to but it sure would be nice if the manufacturers could get some kind of a legacy exemption for certain models that people still want

Great job, Scotty! But it's ICE ICE baby for me 😉. And one more thing.... we don't pronounce Orion the same way as the star. We say it like Or-Re-In.

I still don't want this crap. Give me a reqular ICE and none of the electronic crap in them. V8, 4 speed auto and AC, thats all we need.

Hey Scottie sir. My uncle said in the 70’s in California there was an electric car company that was bought by GM (or someone) and it disappeared. Is there any truth to that????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🇨🇦

I had an f150 hybrid, buy the gas model. The Electric brake regenerator module failed on me at 7k miles and they can't fix it till april when the hybrid parts are in stock. Yeah, it was fast, yeah it got great mpg (when it works right) but it also rattles and squeaks constantly. the infotainment screen freezes continuously, and the b@o system sounds like crap. I loved my 17 5.0 but my new hybrid is absolutely junk, buy a tundra.. it's not worth the headache for 7mpg.

You people who comment about Norway do realize that when compared to the US population of 331.9 million people, Norway’s population of 5.1 million is completely negligible right??

Hybrids are a trick unless the price is close to an ICE vehicle (rarely so). Scotty mentioned in the video Ford is trying to lower this gap and rightly so. Compare the cost of a regular Rav-4 to a hybrid. The hybrid costs more up front (used or new) than the ICE version. You would have to drive the hybrid for at least 5+ years to make up for the difference in cost with only a meager increase in mileage with the hybrid.

Very well done video. Lots of interesting info. I don’t see how we can go all BEV by 2035. Good point about most households having 2 cars in the family. Are people going to go for 2 BEVs with 2 charging stations? There’s a lot to figure out…

😂 I seen a guy caring a Honda Generator in his trunk. When the EV would run out of power,HE would start the generator up and plug in and charge his car 😂

First up enjoy your videos, I'm a Australian but allot off your content applies here as well, next I have come to a conclusion on electric vehicles, living rural hybrids are the best option, even in the city I still consider hybrids the best option. What you presented in this video is basically what I have come to the conclusion on EV's and applies here in Australia as well.

The correct answer is to have OPTIONS to meet the needs of each person. My GF lives in an apartment complex so charging an EV is an impossibility. And she only drives a couple thousand miles per year, so even if she could charge an EV the price difference would take a decade to make up in gas savings. When she was recently shopping for a car, the only options were gas or regular hybrid (which is basically just "fuel efficient gas". She ended up with a not-very efficient "gas" (not hybrid) car. Because it meets her needs. Me on the other hand? I drove 21,500 miles last year. 90% of my trips are reasonably local distance, but 10% of my miles come from long haul trips... Like 400 to 600 miles in a single day where minutes matter in terms of getting from one place to the next. Full gas (non-hybrid) is a no-go because I need serious fuel economy. Full electric is a no-go because when I have those 600 mile days, even if the infrastructure is there, I need my mid-trip fill-up to be under 5 minutes. Even a 15 minute partial charge-up on an EV would be unacceptable. Especially if I had to do 2 or 3 on one trip. So I was only looking at Hybrid or PHEV. I decided on PHEV as the happy medium because I can charge it every night in my garage and 90% of the time, this is good enough to make it so I use less than a pint of gas and many days zero gas. But when I have my longer runs, I can have my 2 minute fill-up rather than several 30 minute charge-ups - and zero concern about whether charging stations will be available. I expect to save enough gas on the 90% local trips being all-EV mode to justify the higher cost of the PHEV over a traditional hybrid. OTOH, for those who have a house with a garage and who rarely ever are going more than 150-200 miles in a day but who are frequently having to commute longer distances than what a PHEV has for all-electric range (like maybe a 40 mile each way commute), a Tesla or other BEV might make a lot of sense. The future of the car industry is NOT "gas only" OR "hybrid" OR "PHEV" OR "BEV" ONLY. The future of the car industry is "gas only" AND "hybrid" AND "PHEV" AND "BEV" all being available options so that each consumer can have their needs met.
