That’s obvious that the ev cars are the biggest scam in the last 5 centuries

Considering the almost non-existant infrastructure to support EVs nationally, and the growing laundry list of problems that have ALWAYS been associated with EVs, when exactly was it a "good" time to buy EVs??? Sheeesh.... LOL....

Tesla is the best car company ever and no maintenance no gas stations no oil changes no smog check no belts no hoses no spark plugs no air filter no alternator no radiator no starter

EV cars are an option at best but reality shows they will never be a replacement for many decades. I have thought of buying an electric vehicle but now know that it is not feasible for my use. I drive very little and I know batteries degrade, regardless if you use them or not. I would just not get the mileage out of the vehicle and therefore the savings, before it would need replacement.

​​@@FrankGallagherrYou will still have to replace the 12-volt battery, the tires, and there are still suspension components that will need replacing just like any other car. Many electric vehicles still have drive axles off the single motor, which may need to be replaced. And like any vehicle with many electronic sensors and components, such as the BMW ICE vehicles can go bad and fail. There are very few repair centers that work on electric vehicles but yes that number is growing, but they can pretty much name their price on a repair once your car is out of warranty. Most people that drive ICE vehicles will go to a smaller shop after their warranty has expired just to save money on repair costs. This will not be an option for most ice vehicle owners. Look at your electric vehicle like you would look at a old computer or TV, once they get old the apps and programs May no longer be supported and your option will be to replace it just like an old TV. I have an old web TV that I can no longer use it as a television but a monitor because Microsoft will no longer support the system. Luckily I have a old Blu-ray that has internet that gives me that ability to get some of the functions the TV used to. It amazes me that people are willing to take the financial risk of buying something that will be only useful for maybe 15 years years that is if all the support is there or if the company is even still in business. Everyone's thinking about the battery but this is something I have not seen anyone talking about.

@@Tschacki_Quacki Drives more than 10k miles a year. Of course you are prisoner to your home charger so you wouldn't know about driving more miles.

@@robertkubrick3738 Your calculator is wonky. If you charge for say 6 hours per night, that's 43.2 kWh assuming 7.2 kW charging with a Zappi. EVs typically do 4 miles/kWh which would be about 63k miles for a full year. Incidentally, the cost would be £1182.5 at Octopus' overnight rate of 7.5 p. compared to £12600 at 20 p/mile for petrol. The cost of running an EV is further reduced if you have solar panels. EV maintenance costs are trivial.

With a EV you plug it in their garage and charge overnight. It’s not complicated.

@@robertkubrick3738 I drive ~20k a year and can't charge at home at all. How is having your own gas station at home being "a prisoner"??? You prefer to not being able to refill your car at home and have to rely on other people? That's more independence?

Several of these are just not true depending on what model you buy or where you live. Service for my 2015 Kia Soul EV has been very cheap, and I haven’t had to replace the tyres yet. Our experience with 2020 Ioniq 5 seems similar so far. Owning an EV with an apartment is not a problem at all in much of Norway now. In 8 years the infrastructure has gone from zero to absolutely abundant. No reason to think it’ll be any different in other countries in another 8 year. The technology is cheaper and better now. There are still growing pains in the whole field of EVs, but it’s gotten much, much better in just the last 3 years. Of course, do some research before jumping into it. Like any other big purchasing decisions.

Best cars ever made.

Tesla is the SAFEST car on the road, my doctor told me

@@Pimpernicholas I am a retired mechanic. (76) I have been around these things my whole life. My lungs are fine, and I can breathe just fine. All that you EV owners need to worry about is being trapped in a burning EV, and the fancy doors won't open. Then you have the idiots that smoke cigarettes that EVERYONE knows causes cancer, but they don't stop either. You know, if you love your EV, that is fine with me. I, myself, will never ever own one, and it makes me mad that people such as your self are trying to cram these things down our throats. It also amazes me at the lengths that you fan-boys will go to to TRY to make yourself feel good. Do you think that I care what you drive? Why do you care what I drive? Just let the people show where we think we need to spend our money for transportation. Oh, that is right, we ARE showing you that the majority of the population wants nothing to do with an EV!!!!!!!! The manufactures are going broke.

@@BuilderofRat Have you checked your lungs,bloodstream, and brain for nano-carbon particles? Everyone is susceptible to these since there is no dilution of these particles to zero in the atmosphere, in particular, produced by diesel engines. Escape from a burning EV is more likely than from an ICE with a tank of volatile petrol. Google "Rainbow Bridge car explosion" It was in the news about 2 months ago. I assume that you believe that it's the battery that is causing the burning of EVs. You likely have the same batteries in cameras, ipods, ipads, laptops, etc carried in your own car or at home. Same risk? A friend's farm tractor, ICE of course, caught fire and burnt the whole garage. Not sure what other vehicles were involved. My dad was always warning ud that if we were caught stalled somewhere on the road, to wind the windows down a few inches. Unfortunately, the son, 18 year old, of a cousin was asphyxiated from a lack of doing just that. Not all smokers have or get lung cancer, but the statistics prove the connection. Some day, driving an ICE vehicle will be shunned the same way, sociologically, as a person today is if they smoke in an elevator. No one is forcing anyone to drive EVs. I just wonder why the ICE crowd are on these sites trying to convince the EV bunch that driving EV is for the birds. You would thing that they did care about what we own and drive. By the way, I own 8 ICE cars which are driven very sparingly. I suspect that they will enhance a museum's collection someday. The swich to EVs is coming whether we object or not. They are cleaner and cheaper, if not today, will be shortly in the long run. The Chinese EV market will overtake any and all of the so called Big Three' businesses because of pricing. Much of the legacies' products are not manufactured in the USA, even. Tesla has most percentage component structure of any USA manufacturer for their cars. How long do you think that crude is going to last? It might be a little less selfish to save a bit for future genarations to manufacture other objects than those for simple transportation, particularly when there are alternatives. I'd bet that you drive a pickup for basic transportation. What could be more fuel ineficient than one of those? It's almost as if pickup owners have to get to more than their share of crude before someone else does. Have you ever driven an EV? Been driving ICE cars for well over 65 years and before that ICE tractors from a young age. The EVs have a lot more to offer than ICEs. Your friends will inform you.

It was on the lot for a year, so the warrantee had started, so I got a $50,000 pickup for $35,000 because they had to sell it as used. The reason it was on the lot for so long was that it was a long bed crew cab diesel with a manual 6 speed trans. I have since replaced the clutch/flywheel assy. The Dodge clutch setup is awful. I only have 80,000 miles on it. You could not give me one of those new diesel pickups! The EPA has totally destroyed the diesel engines, and for what?????

Indeed , electric cars have less range , cost more in the first place, and last half as long , because you can guarantee, when that EV runs out of warranty down the track , and the battery range has degraded , no one in their right mind will want to spend anything from $20,000to $60,000 bucks on a replacement battery on an 8 + year old shitbox EV. In comparison a good well maintained ICE car with minimal maintenance cost could last 15 to 30 + years. And this brings up the question, what's greener and better value , an ice Car that could last potentially 30 years or more if looked after , or an expensive EV that will likely be sent to the wreckers in a much much shorter period of time , and which is better value ? because no one will want to buy an older EV with a degraded battery.

If you use A/C or heater in your EV your mileage goes down dramatically.🙂

And an ICE car is a lawnmower with big wheels.

​@markmercieca5569 But you can use the heat and the A/C in your "LAWN MOWER" with a negligible effect on their range and fill it up in 5 minutes anywhere in the country. You can also have your lawn mower serviced by an independent shop at a reasonable cost because of readily available OEM or aftermarket parts and the insurance isn't ridiculous either!

I was interested at first...because most of my drives are short, living on an island. I bought a small petrol car for those runs, because the equivalent electric model was three times the cost! Now im thinking phew, glad I didn't splash out.

I was interested first, after doing basic research I realised the only benefit of an ev is that the running costs are cheaper. But overall it’s not worth it.

I didn't either , and got flack for it but I don't care

Neither do I but I have other reasons to go electric though. Still wanna go back to ICE but too expensive to do so.

I never got rid of my ICE vehicle after getting an EV nearly a decade ago. I kept my ICE car in excellent condition while owning it, but the KBB value didn't reflect that, so I kept it rather than almost giving it away. I ended up purchasing another EV as well. EV's have been my daily drivers, and I'll drive the ICE vehicle only a few times a year. I have to keep the ICE car 12 volt battery connected to a trickle charger so it won't be dead when I want to drive it. I'm fortunate to have both an EV and ICE vehicle, which I can compare the two by way of ownership, instead of going by what others say online who don't own both.

Exactly what I have been thinking the last couple years.

You still have a battery to replace. No thanks. 🥶🔥

Yes, very smart concept to torture a battery with a full charge cycle every day. 1000+ cycles after only 3 years. Great idea!

Shows you have not seen the stats....Hybrids are the most prone to fire! Pure EV are 10 times safer than gas cars.

looked at PHEV - far too complex, with more to go wrong than ICE ..so bought a petrol Kia. Happy wife, happy life.

I think EV's are going the way of the vinyl roof - LoL

@@InnerPeaceNativeFluteMusic 300 mile range? You said you took a 4000 mile trip? How many stops? How long to charge each time? My SUV does 300 miles just doing city miles, if doing highway, it's still does 400 miles, takes just 5 minutes to fill up.

Insurance. 50% depreciation in 2 years.

High depreciation is due to Tesla lowering prices so more can afford the future. This has affected the whole used EV market. Good on them.

@@badhairday_247 You are confused about the Reason tesla lowered prices. The niche market was getting filled so tesla lowered prices to try and keep selling into the full niche market. You will notice that the actual new tesla affordable model isn't coming until 2025...If EVer? Why would they delay it if they wanted more to afford the Regression which you call the future?

Chrysler 300’s are expensive to insure because they are predominately ghetto-mobiles.

Are you speaking of, for example, Ford F150s and pickups manufactured by Stellantis and GM?

Toyota was probably the first to see the light. The company will continue to make electric vehicles but at a much diminished rate. They aim to try to concentrate on the luxury market for the sales of EVs for the people who can really afford them. They also are increasing their sales of hydrogen vehicles and hybrids. I think the other brands will lose money until their shareholders have had enough.

@@TERRY-cb2ku I believe that Toyota in saying that it is exploring the possibilities of hydroge (hydrogen is just not viable) is trying to make people believe that there is something to this idea but in reality are only trying to make people believe that they have some technological insight and therefore must know something outside of the EV industry. (It's all a smoke screen.) So they are trying to convince people that EVs are not the way, since they have no way of producing EVs for the same price as Tesla and some of the Chinese car makers. It is well known that Toyota have been lobbying the governments of the major car markets to slow the introduction of EVs. Also, Toyota is indebted to an extent that none but the larger country economies of the world could afford, namely about $190 billion, of their debt. It has been stated that it will cost Toyota another $200 billion to make the switch to EVs. I feel sorry for their workers and the Japanese nation as a whole. The other Japanese auto manufacturers are influenced by Toyota's CEO, so could befall the same fate. There are many legacies that will fail, including those of the USA.

@@InnerPeaceNativeFluteMusic People in my family and friends have stated that they will never buy an EV. Firstly, never is a long time to be committed and, secondly, I feel slightly sorry for them, in that they will never have the gratifying experience of driving an electric car. I think even worse is their attitude towards electric technology. Obviously, electricity deals with the energy of electrons. Not so obvious, is the fact that the chemical burning of crude oil uses the energy of electrons, also, only in a more inefficient fashion. Sad.

I have been driving my Model 3 for the last 2 years without any issues. I've done roadtrips in the winter without any problems, it handles snow like a beast.

is it any better than my Mercedes M5 TDI?

Tens of thousands at these depreciation rates. It's a trap. Buy GAP insurance also, if your BEV gets totaled because the battery is scratched, they don't pay but actual present book value. Market value might be a couple thousand higher but you'd have to pay the lawyer to sue them.

A never ending money pit

They will lose anyway. And I actually pitty the lease companies trying to sell the off lease cars ....soon there will be no takers.

No, it didn't pay for itself in two years. Your forgot to factor in the higher purchase price of your EV, the higher insurance cost, the massive depreciation, the time you wasted waiting for it to charge (hourly rate x time), the cost of replacing new tires and brakes more frequently and the inconvenience of having to deal with range anxiety all the time. You didn't save a dime.

@@bigmacdaddy1234 even with all that factored in, it did pay for itself in two years because with 73k miles, I got reimbursed $0.66 per mile delivering cannabis product.

@@super_ficial The world is not flat get over it.

I guess you still believe in Santa Claus aswael. ººThere's no way that a large source of heat that is far away can render an object frozen at the top and bottom but hot in the center. For that to occur the source of heat would have be close and small. Meanwhile we can see moonlight on local clouds but not on distant clouds. The Sun and Moon are local and small. ºIf you are in a car going around a curve then you're going to uncontrollably slide across the seat, it is irresistible. And yet they tell us that we are spinning at a 1,038 mph while going around the Sun at 66,600 mph while our system goes around the galaxy at 480,000 mph while the galaxy goes around the “Great Attractor” at 2.2 million mph. That's four different curves that we are supposed to be going around at the same and yet, no seatbelts. ºThey say that that the Earth's rotation is due to the surplus energy of the formation of the Solar system. So what makes a gaseous atmosphere rotate ? How can air be fastened to the ground ? And if the atmosphere was rotating with the Earth's rotation, then when we walk against the Earth's rotation, we would feel the resistance of the atmosphere. They say that we don't feel motion, only acceleration. How would you feel any acceleration when there is no motion ? If we were in motion then any change would be noticed but if the Earth is at rest then there couldn't be a change in velocity. (We do not live on a treadmill). ºFlat Earth realization is only the beginning. God or not, man is the center of Creation and a universe being created is not only redundant it is deliberately misleading. There is only Creation. ºIf you can see waves crashing on the beach with a zoom lens 20/50 miles out to sea, then you already know that the Earth is flat. You just haven't connected the dots yet. If you go out 250 miles and look around 360% then you just surveyed 1% of the Earth's surface. It's flat. ºIf you know that we've been navigating by Fixed Star Location for over six thousand years, then you already know that the Earth is stationary. You just need to put the pieces together. ºIf you want to see flat-earth proofs then take an airplane five miles high and look out the cockpit window. Not only will you see no curvature but the horizon will always come up to your eye level. That can't happen on a ball and it would be stupid to believe otherwise. @@icedriver2207
