please check that you are subscribed... lots of people are finding they are not...! odd, eh...

Expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to repair, hugh deprecation, a pain to charge up, poor range, why on earth would you subject yourself to that misery

As someone in the motor trade, EVs are dead wood, they do not sell and at auctions, they sit unsold. Add the severe depreciation and loss of confidence in them, they will soon be gone in the history books as one of the worst inventions. Don’t fix what’s not broken, EVs didn’t need to exist.

Keep buying petrol/diesel ! The wheels are falling off the climate hoax😂😂✊️

When we moved from horses to cars, no incentives or laws were required to facilitate the change….. just something that was better than the previous option. I think this says it all.

'Incentives' - Government taking taxpayer money and giving it to private industry. Scandalous!

They couldn't give me a EV for nothing

Germany removed subsidy, sales have bombed

Buying a new car overall makes no sense. At this point they're all overpriced disposable junk.

People are finally waking up to how bad EVs really are.

I still cannot understand how people buy a car that costs more than their annual salary....before tax. I see so many where I live, the EV cars on their drives cost more monthly than their house...ludicrous.

In China there are 5 year old 'new; unsold EV's in storage. Tells you all you need to know. They are history.

What happens when car makers turn round and say no one wants EVs and we wont meet your targets so we are no longer trading in your country as we will not make any money.

Politicians and government are supposed to work for us, they’re supposed to do as we say not us do what they demand

I’ve stopped buying any vehicles because I’m unsure of the way things are going.

You can't pay me to have an EV! You have to be a masochist to want one! Under no circumstances am I going to plan my trip around charging stations or risk burning down my house! F that noise!

So the free money given to new EV buyers could have helped out the NHS, roads, local councils etc etc...

🌟The EV market plunge has nothing to do with the mantra of - "A Plan That Doesn't Work" to fix "A Problem That Doesn't Exist" is it 😂😅

Wouldn't want an electric car even if they were giving them away

It’s not just the purchase price and range anxiety that’s crashing sales. It’s insurance costs, repair costs, cost of tires, extra taxes, plus heavy depreciation, poor charging infrastucture, fires, etc. all driving buyers away. Evs are just a poor investment.

I remember hearing that Motability for the disabled has gone full electric. Just imagine how evil that is.

I’d not have an EV as a gift

If EVs were any good people would buy them. W e didn’t need incentives for mobile phones. Now nearly everyone has a mobile phone.

How much is that EV? We have an offer on, it's free to day drive it away. What!!!! I'm not paying that much.

EVs, the answer to a problem that doesn't exist.

Sign the petition to .Repeal the climate change act 2008 ,net zero target , (please)

The best EV is a scalextrix.

Whenever governments get Involved, market, distortions occur. This is a prime example.

If the world gets anywhere near collapsing, the last thing you need is an SEV! (Spontaneously explosive vehicle)

I'd rather walk than have an EV. In fact it will probably be quicker

In Scotland, new petrol/diesel cars are banned from 2030. I've seen enough videos to know I don't want one.

Why would you buy a car that loses value like an EV does🙃 Ask Lee (MacMaster)

Preach on Geoff! I am just going to keep driving my 12 year old Mustang as long as I can get parts.

Cars are so ridiculously expensive now I'm surprised anyone is buying them. For example a bmw 3 series starts at £39,000. An m3 starts at £82,500. It's incredible.

If the working man could start affording evs , the price of electricity will all of a sudden rise 10 fold due to “insert crisis we don’t need to meddle in”

It's the global control thing again. I have decided that any vehicle with any form of internet connectivity is not for me. Which includes ALL EV's.

No one was forced in to buying smart phones, but near everyone has a mobile phone, and nearly everyone of them have a smart phone. Why's that, when the population weren't forced to get them? Because they are better than the other choices. You only have to force people to buy something when it is shit and worse than what is already available.

Geoff, Tesla are laying off 6,000 staff due to a huge drop in EVs in Texas & California. Elon Musk has seen a 9% drop in profits since just March. The game is up in my opinion.

The biggest hurdle for me is that I do not want an EV parked on my drive while my family is asleep. The lack of concrete information as to why EVs catch fire and burn the your house down in the process scares the s×*t out of me.....😮

They couldn't pay me to take an EV.

Why should the local city budgets build the EV charging points using tax payers money? (They’ve never paid to build gas stations have they? )

People need to stop voting for politicians who support this net zero insanity.

Politicians will always screw up the market with their ignorance. No one should base their business model on what a politician runs his mouth about.

I'm only looking at Petrol cars from the early 2000s, why waste money on a new car when there are better cars at a fraction of the cost?

Am holding on to my 170,000 mile, 16 year old Skoda Fabia.

I work at a CDJR dealership and the discounts on any 4xe are huge...we still aren't selling any. The people that wanted one have them, and the people that were interested in one all know someone with an EV and at best their experience is meh.

Car manufacturers can only discount cars for so long. They're already losing money on every EV they sell.

Who needs "range anxiety" and wasting time waiting for EVs to recharge? Long live the ICE!

They dont care whether you buy an EV or not..in fact theyd rather you dont buy one. They dont want you driving anything. Period.

WHen the dealers are having to have a finite % of all new sales as EV's and the customers are just not buying this has a knock back on the sale of ICE's. When all other costs have risen way beyond the inflation rate on cars in general, IE road tax, insurance, & other things such as depreciation. All come into play when the decision is made to buy new or not. It just shows how out of touch the authorities are with the people! And how ridiculous their policies are! Once again we see those in authority think they are there to rule over us the little people when in fact they are there to serve us and do the things they were voted in to complete ie their MANIFESTO! Not the policies of the WEF & UN etc.

Is there a point at which car manufacturers are financially better off paying the fines for not selling EVs rather than producing them at a huge loss ?

Why should tax payers help subsidise wealthy people who buy Tesla cars?

If private businesses behaved like governments and targeted incentives then they would run foul of anti competition laws. How come it's ok for politicians to actively discriminate? Totally wrong on every level.

Where I live in the US you could give EVs away free and we wouldn't take them. Insurance, electrical prices and incovience is the problem not the price.

As the saying goes..."The customer is King"..... Government incentives, IE YOUR TAXES....🤔🙄🙄🇬🇧

Even if they were free for the taking, EVs would still be overpriced. I still don't see why everyone concerned just didn't wait until EVs were so good that people bought them voluntarily without taxpayer's money as an incentive. Shouldn't the product justify the purchase? If not, then your product just isn't good enough.

I got a second hand Hyundai i-10 nearly 3 years ago for £3,500. Its only done 56,000 miles. Its cheap insurance, does 50-60mpg and costs £20 a year tax. Mechanic said its a really tidy clean car and as i only do pretty low miles so long as i look after it i could enjoy near cost free motoring for the next 10-20 years. Could i get an electric vehicle which could offer me such a deal...reckon not.

“I thought it was yen” Japan says hi….

90% of EV owners have at least 1 internal Combustion Engine car available at the same property, hmmm is that cos the EV is just a toy??

My iPhone 11 set fire to itself last evening. It was scary, but thank god it was close to the patio doors so I hoofed it out the door. It took 2 hours for the flames to die back, and it has marked the patio forever. The house still smells of burning chemicals slightly. Scale this up by 1000. Errr...i'll pass thanks!

Electric Vehicle's will be looked back on in 25 years time as the biggest waste of time & money in the history of motoring 😂

EV's have taught me just how incredibly badly some governments are spending taxpayers money.

People don't want them. The novelty has worn off. The vast majority of people prefer internal combustion.

If EVs were a good idea, they’d be flying out the showrooms. You can’t buck the market 😂

EVs were invented before ICE vehicles, its 19th century tech that could not compete them. Still holds true today.

Two really good bits of positivity here; 1. The 20 mph blanket in Wales is being lifted 👍 And 2. Tesla sales are collapsing, along with the share prices, and Elon Musk is well and truly in the shite 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 We're winning people. We're winning 👍👍👍

More incentives funded by tax dollars at this point would not only be a crime, it's something only government would do, throwing more money at an obviously failing investment.

Government discounts is taxpayers money government does not have their own money.

The burning of the Notre dame in 2019 came before a global disaster ? This year that building in Denmark burnt, so does this precede a 'disaster' next year ?

The main problem with EVs is they are too expensive, most people don't have the ability to charge them at their homes and there is hardly an infrastructure in place to drive them and charge them whilst travelling. Also the factor than some EVs appear to have hidden faults, and self combust and have strange electrical malfunctions.

As we all paid a proportion of the cost of the cost of electric vehicles currently on the roads surely we should be entitled to free transport back from the pub from those who currently have the vehicles we helped pay for. Sounds only fair to me.

What is the EMF radiation level to occupants of EVs, you never hear of this reality?

As they are massively overpriced the discount only brings them down to 'far too expensive '...

Anyone who buys an EV should realise you have spent your money on a disposable vehicle.

I'm finding the same with people's spending on my market stall... There's definitely a change in people's spending habits the past year or 2!

It's absolutely no use them trying to sell EVs to people with no home charging facilities. Cart before horse situation.

“Imposed by the Government on car manufacturers”. Govt being the representatives voted for by the people. Why are the governing few screwing with car companies?🤷‍♂️ Enticing EV buyers with Govt incentives paid for by our taxes

Why would you buy an electric car when it will be worthless as soon as you drive out of the dealer.

I watched an episode of the China Show on KZfaq and there is huge turmoil with the EV car manufacturers. There are currently 90 something and in the near future they expect there to be less than 10 left. I think they said BYD was the only one to make a profit last year.

I wouldn't even get into one and I try to keep my distance when ever I can!

Consumer demand hasnt fallen it was never really there!

Insufficient discounts and still will not buy a Tesla combuster, or any other vehicle powered by an accumulator.

I'd rather walk than have an EV. In fact it will probably be quicker.

Thanks for doing a great job, please keep telling everyone they shouldn’t by an EV. I will be ordering another EV soon now they’re in my price range again.

I’ve got a friend that has just got an electric car on mobility. He lives in a flat with no ability to charge at home. He’s now having to take his car in to the town centre to charge it. There are no local high-speed chargers, so he’s having to leave it overnight. And get taxis to, and from. He has been very poorly advised and taken advantage of. Situation is crazy He’s currently try to get them to take it back.

I wouldn’t have an EV as a gift. In fact I don’t know anyone who dislikes me enough to gift me one. They are the modern version of the Sinclair C5.

EVs try to solve a problem that doesn’t exist - the modern day mix hybrid/ICE is more than enough to cut pollution and increase air quality in urban areas

Of course the EV demand is falling because the fool market has been saturated and the buyers cannot sell the ones they have purchased so are stuck with them. It is good for the rest of use because while they are sitting in a car park trying to charge it reduces the traffic on the roads.

Good news going down quicker than Katie price lo 😊

EVsARE NOT SELLING. GOOD.!!!!

Most dealers will NOT take an EV in part exchange - they are doomed as no-one ( well no-one sensible) wants them.

Jennifer Granholm testified before Congress recently and was asked about the expected effects on average global temperature if the Net-Zero policy achieves its goals. It turns out that the expectation is for the increase in average global temperature will "not be greater than 1.5 to 2 degrees" - exactly what it would be if no actions were taken. The global cost of Net-Zero will be more than $9 TRILLION PER YEAR THROUGH 2050. Implementation of this policy is expected to result in millions of jobs lost and massive increases in the cost of basic necessities, driving the middle class into poverty and leaving the poor struggling to survive.

And do we really believe all these figures ? ....I would take them with a pinch of salt !!

Plug in and hybrid EVs have to pay road user charges here. Now we need to tax cyclist for their stupid cycle lanes

I was in the motor trade for over 30 years & imo the EV industry is in desperate trouble now, once the market decides they don't want a product the game is up. Subsidies have got them this far but now the market will decide the outcome. Sales slow, new prices are cut then second-hand values plummet, then panic sets in, prices are cut again & down & down you go... The Globalist's persuaded the Governments & Auto Makers down a dead end road & the end of that road is almost in sight. When you reach the end of a dead-end road you only really have one choice... Turn around & go back to what you know...😁

As a pensioner I can not afford an EV will stick to diesel I have drove diesel cars for 40 year's I Worked for the NHS and was no call 24/7

EVs a fake solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

When you try to trade in your EV for a new EV and the dealer won’t trade it in that tells you have made a mistake

Colleague just bought a Mazda EV. Price was cut by 4 grand, 6 grand towards the deposit, interest free credit for the three years PLUS they are paying for him to have a home charger installed. Told him he got ripped off.

Remember it is your money in the form of tax the Government is spending to give these incentives!
