Great show but would it be possible to provide metric equivalents give that NZ has been metric for a long time and so is a fair chunk of the rest of the world

The Rivian you can now service the battery in position. Replace the bms separately, were as some you have to replace the whole battery. Interesting its hardly mentioned, I dont think this right to repair is of any Interest to journalists or wealthy new buyers. Personally congratulations Rivian.

Geoffrey Moore wrote a book on Crossing the Chasm. To cross the chasm from Early Adoptors to Early Majority, the product or new technology had to be designed to appeal the masses. In EV’s case, mainstream consumers want an EV that has the convenience and familiarity of an ICE vehicle. This includes the time to replenish the energy for a vehicle. The time that it takes to recharge a EV should be the same as filling up an ICE vehicle for it to appeal to the masses. If this can be achieved, this would mean fewer chargers and gas stations could be viablly converted for charging EVs. The narrator likes to put labels on critics as “naysayers” , but some of those critics have valid points for charging EVs.

This is a case where education needs to be made to shift expectations. EVs aren’t ICE. The biggest benefit of an EV is plugging in at home every evening and staying the day full, so in normal day to day use, you NEVER have to go to a gas station. I’ve saved far more time avoiding gas stations for regular commuting/around town errands than I have added in longer time spent charging on road trips. (And I actually do road trip fairly often and for long distances.)

@@AnonymousFreakYT You don’t get it. If charge times for EVs were the same for refueling an ICE vehicle, then you wouldn’t need as many public chargers. “Gas station” model would fit the bill for EV charging instead of the large proliferation of public EV chargers. The current situation is that there is a massive public charging network which leads to high maintenance and unreliability.

@@williamquemuel7824 There is steady improvement. As mentioned here, one company just announced a “6C charging rate” battery. Combined with upcoming 500kW stations, and even big battery EVs soon will have ICE-like charging speeds.

The EV enthusiasts keep stressing home charging to circumvent charging times that they ignore the urban apartment city dwellers. It is fine and dandy if you live in a home with a garage and with a charger. The Chicago disaster last winter highlights the EV issues in a dense urban environment. Watch Cash Jordan’s YT video on EVs which reveals the issues for EV owners in New York City. EVs have to be accessible to all or it will fail massively.

This narrator only cherry picks reports favorable to EVs. Case in point is this week’s report from Autoline Network. In the report, the McKinsey survey reveals that 46% of US EV owners want to go back to ICE vehicles.

@AnonymousFreakYT 2 ай бұрын

That is a gross misreading of the study. Not “46% WANT to switch back” but “46% are WILLING TO CONSIDER an ICE as their next vehicle.” That means that 54% of EV owners say they won’t under any circumstance purchase another ICE. Considering many EV owners are two-car households with one EV and one ICE, I consider that HUGE. That means that of the “one EV, one ICE” households, more than half are planning on replacing the ICE with an EV.

@@AnonymousFreakYT So far, you just been airing falsehoods without references. Maybe, you can tell Automotive News and Autoline Network that they were wrong and you were right. You can go further and request the McKinsey company that they need to rewrite their survey.

To clarify, Automotive News reports that 46% of US EV owners want to go back to ICE vehicles and globally 29% of EV owners want to go back ICE vehicles.
