EV people are so dumb.. they say they save on gas.. they don't pay on charging for 2years but they don't understand they are been charged upfront in thousands of $$.. people should go back to school to learn math.😅😅

Is it really scam tho? Teslas battery leasts about 200k miles+ and you have no maintenance and major repairs + charging at home is much cheaper than buying gas for car. Les possibility that something big comes out, like engine goes out under 100k miles and you get 30-60k bill. That is if you compere with similar performance cars like Audi A7 or something from BMW, Mercedes. + They hold value better than BMW, Mercedes cars. Only inconvenience would be using superchargers if you have to make longer trips. No timing chains, clutch, turbos, injectors, pumps, gaskets, gearbox, diff to maintain. Most likely battery replacement at 200k miles for 15k will be payed by fuel cost and lack of maintenance alone. By the way hood can be opened by simple battery from your TV remote😅

Diesel hybrid is what I have been waiting for this whole time.

those would get amazing gas mileage, the cruze diesel got 52 mpg in a test, and that wasn't even a hybrid.

Really? Both our Toyota hybrids batteries failed after only 120K miles.

Very true, the chargers operated by anyone other than Tesla tend to have many more issues. I have a Tesla model 3 and so far have never had an issue with Superchargers when on road trips and charging to 80% usually takes 20 minutes or less. Tesla is the way to go, love the car

Teslas and BYD has LFP battery too. That one is recomended to be charged to 100% like once a week + have bigger lifespan. + LFP gonna improve drastically with charge time.

And remember that supercharging degrades batteries faster.

@@emdo.unlimited555 And more expensive too. They are there for road trips. For day to day you are supposed to charge at home. But you can limit how fast charging station charges your battery if you have time.

It's worse than that. No way can the grid handle the power needed for mass adoption. Then throw in the tires (EVs are heavy and tires must be replaced twice as much) then throw in damage to roads from weight. Physics trumps all kids....too bad none of you learned it.

Hybrid is alot better than full electric car

3500 miles??? It's closer to 1000 miles. : )

Even San Diego to Seattle is only 2500 miles round trip. But, what's actually important is why you got higher mpg in 2021 than you do now, especially on a long highway road trip then versus around town driving now.

That's the main reason I like and respect him.

but has issues sometimes with fads and stability. Hybrids have been around for decades now. No one jumping on them, if you are a city driver, it's a good car. will last 10 to 15 years. It costs same as a normal car which is around 27k. How many cars can you touch under 30? I think this time he is just mad but its not like hybrids sprung yesterday.

A cheap small EV that you can recharge at home, for commuting and shopping, makes a lot of sense, no denying that. You can lose 50% range, and it won't even matter, since you need it only for 60 miles round trip, or whatever that is. So you can keep it for years. The EV market crashing is A Good Thing. Makes EVs cheap, and they can be good in some circumstances. But they aren't for everyone. Hence why it's crashing.

You’re describing a BMW i3 REx (BEV with range extender), which worked okay until it came to long climbs with a flat battery. The engine/generator was so underpowered that the car would slow to a crawl if the battery went flat. It must also be said that the software design on the US models didn’t optimize the battery SOC (state of charge) level, and if the battery had been maintained at a higher SOC, such problems would have been less frequent.

Death trap how does anyone drive around hazards with something slower than a road train itleast in the road train you go through everything

@@Clyde-2055There is a simple fix for the i3: don't wait until the battery is flat to start the generator, start it as soon as the battery is under 80% on the highway when you know you will be driving for a while. Then you should still have ~80% of spare battery for hill climbs since the generator is supplying all of the highway base load.

@@effigy42 You aren't driving on 16kW, you still have 150+kW from the battery available to accelerate and pass vehicles. All the generator does is remove the highway base load from the battery.

@@teardowndan5364 - That’s exactly right, an adjustment which is indeed available on European models. The US models, because of some shortsighted EPA regulations, didn’t allow for this adjustment; the generator was set to turn on when the battery was damned near flat. You could modify the system through the ODB terminal to open the Euro-menu to allow adjustability.

They never should have been made in the first place.

That's actually not true at all. People are flocking to them. The only problem is the federal rebate. You'll get $4k off a EV that's under $25k. That's messing up the sells. People that's trying to sell at $30k can't and the cars that should be sold for $21k is sold at $25k and listing it for $21K with a disclaimer.

@@chestergt7765 insurance companies will rule the day in the end by restrictions where you can’t park them what fairies you can’t go on and a highway tax will be applied to EV’s because they are not paying the carbon tax that pays for the roads. This is not a bright future in my view. The trade-in values are absolutely abysmal my neighbours EV battery replacement would be $50,000. If that’s not a wake up call I don’t know what is.

@@rpreece1477 $50k lmao You can repair the batteries yourself but there are shops that can fix the individuals cells for a fraction of the cost of a replacement. A brand new model S battery is $20k installed, refurbished is $15k. But $4k to fix it at a 3rd party shop. That's really not bad imo.

so you think a 100K suburban or land rover is cheap to fix??

But the slave tesla cultists insist to me that the high insurance high vehicle cost lack of range as well as lack of long term lifespan as well as bad service repair capabilities and costs and half hour refill times on roadtrips are all "non problems" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My teenage daughter drives a 500hp model 3 for under $100 a month with excellent coverage through Tesla insurance.

Many damaged EVs get totalled, due to the high cost of repair. Not good for the environment.

Its putting the fire out is the problem

Your in hellv anyways

Probably more with a hot gas engine running adjacent to it

Ev systems can malfunction just like a conventional gas engine and hybrids have both failed,I know,I have a hybrid truck with ev transmission ,both need work, usually at the same time.

Well, if the EV battery has 3X the energy storage, it should have 3 times as many lithium cells in the pack and 3X the liklihood of failure (unless the hybrid battery pack wasn't designed as well as the EV pack), but that would be a design issue not an inherent EV vs. Hybrid difference. Of course, the fire risk associated with the gasoline engine only exists for the hybrid, but the risk of gas fires is very different. A gasoline fire in a hybrid can be easily extinguished if you get to it quickly before it causes the battery to get involved. Also, gasoline fires generally only start when the engine is running or was just shut down. Shortly after the gas engine is turned off, the engine and catalytic converter cool off and can no longer ignite any gasoline vapors.

My wife gets 10mpg more than me on the same Prius. She does not use Dynamic Cruise which sucks up battery, and a much better driver.

The bad news is that they swap out the alternator for a DC-DC converter to charge the 12V battery and run the accessories which can also go out. I wonder how much they cost compared to $200 for an alternator. And do you get credit for core charge when you switch it out.

@tomgroover1839 with no moving parts, it is much less likely than an alternator. I own 3 hybrids and a BEV and have never had a converter fail. ... but nice try 😉

there are many simple solutions for dead battery in an ICE car - push to start if manual transmission, booster cables, battery jumper pack (so you can give yourself a boost instead of needing another vehicle.

@@amandahuginkiss4098 all, except push to start with manual trans, work with a Tesla. There are 3 options with a Tesla.

A friend of mine owned 2, 2006 Prius' for taxi service in Whistler, BC. The battery packs lasted 500,000 km and the cars each lasted 1,000,000 km. Mind you that was the best generation of Prius he seemed to think.

Depends, EV packs are lithium ion, depending on which variant of the chemistry, they can expect to last from 300-1000 charge cycles, higher energy density Lithium Cobalt Oxide packs like what are in laptops and phones have lower output power and don't last as many charges (300-500 cycles tops), Lithium Manganese Cobalt Oxide (power tool batteries) last more charges and are higher output power and can last around 500-800 cycles depending on depth of charge but don't hold as much energy, LiFePO4 Lithium iron cells hold the least energy but can last from 800-1000 cycles at full depth to 1000-2000 from 20%-80% and back (never full, never empty) and NASA got 6000 equivalent cycles by keeping their pack between 50% and 60% full at all times. However, LiFePO4 like Ni-MH is low energy density and so per weight holds less and can't travel as far per charge. They're great for hybrids because long cycle life is paramount and they have to be able to take a beating and keep on working without exploding... both are relatively safe, maybe safer than lead acid starter batteries we all use depending on use case. NiMH and LiFePO4 batteries are both LONG lived, and can reach many many thousands of cycles (one cycle being flat to full to flat again, or twice from full to 50% to full again). Hybrids only need peak power, so degradation doesn't really hurt them as fast as they rarely use their entire battery anyhow. but an EV that lost 10% capacity now lost 10% range, a hybrid losing 10% battery capacity loses 0% range because the engine is the prime power source, the battery only boosts the engine power on take off. So a hybrid pack can outlast the car, but an EV pack is yet to be determined and depends a lot on how often it gets used to 0 and fully charged, only charging to 80% doubles the cycle life (or triples, yeah that lats 10-20% is rough for Li Ion)... hybrids often keep the battery only about 50%-60% full and often software lock the top and bottom 20% which allows them to absolutely preserve the cells cycle life. Our old hybrid lasted 3 owners, and the last owner destroyed the body and broke the plastic interior and door handles... engine, battery, and hybrid transmission worked fine as it got driven to a scrap heap... But when you can't make a car road worthy because the frame is rusted and cracked... time for the scrap pile. Again, working battery, battery cooling system was never maintained and yet the battery and electronics were fine... engine was getting a little bad from a lack of oil changes (literally 3-5 years between oil changes) but the parts Scotty complains about... never once seen them die... everything else dies first... or the car gets into a wreck and is scrapped.
