I want to see an electric car ad where the user gets home and has on street parking, not a designer pad with a big driveway

They have been paid considerable money to go along with the scam

Just spent 2 weeks in Norway. People sitting in their EVs in the public carpark at 10pm at night charging them up before they can go home to their families. EVs are just soooo convenient

The only reason EVs are popular in the Netherlands is because they are heavily subsidized and they are almost exclusively company cars.

A question I can't get an answer to is. How does someone living in a ten-story block of flats, charge an EV without having to use a high price charging station miles from home?

Wilson has made a fortune selling warranties for ice cars. Absolute hypocrite.

I work in the car industry in Australia (as in a regional office of a global European company) that deals with rental cars. The majors take very few EV’s. They say because no one wants to rent them here. No one wants to hire and then on trips deal with the bother with long charge times, downloading apps and registering credit cards or find an available charger and waste their holiday time when they can drive to a petrol station with no hassle and fill up and be off sightseeing.

When a former classic ICE afficionado becomes an EV activist you have to wonder about their investment portfolio

As a current EV owner, I had to unsubscribe from Fully Charged due to how self righteous and ranty they have become. Remember, I own an EV, so I should be fully on the cool aid!

Three words, "Follow the money". I would bet the "3 Stooges" are some way invested in the EV market. It's more about control than it is the environment.

I can't help but feel that if a train was delayed 2 hours + on every long journey people would only ever do a couple of journeys before they looked at other options, I guess the same will be true of EVs.

I don’t think anything Quintin says should be taken too seriously. He has been scratching for a job since his extended warranty adverts 10 years ago

On the flip side of that can we ask why the climate crisis lobby have gone into overdrive lately? It’s honestly like they are losing a debate and becoming a screaming child.

If EVs are so good, why is it necessary for taxpayers to subsidize the cost? If they are so good, why do they need to be mandated?

In some sense, I always had EVs in my childhood, EVs are nothing more than scaled up RC car toys 😊

The knives are out Geoff because they realise their fervent mantra about how EV’s are the panacea of the motoring world are somewhat flawed and can’t accept that fact. Backed into a corner and with credibility and much to lose they’re playing the blame game.

Fully charged. Ironically named. Paid blokes to push THE MESSAGE. Fully paid would have been a better title.

About time these EV shills are called out!

Well done! I seriously went off Quentin Wilson when I heard him banging on about about how great EVs are on Talk Radio when they're obviously not.

I had never heard of the Fully Charged Show , it may need renamed as The Full of **** Show , another great video Geoff.

Quentin wilson is a complete mug & hes trying to stay relevant, Nobody has paid him any attention as a motoring journo for years & hes trying his best to jump in with the ev manufacturers

Robert Llewellyn is literally a smeghead now.

I know a guy who took his family on holiday using their Nissan Leaf. The whole exercise was a disaster, the driver suffered major range anxiety the whole time. They had to recharge about three times for every one fill you'd have to do with a regular petrol car of the same size.

As an engineer, I would have to say that it is probably reality that will kill the electric car.

And another thing: The fire that engulfed Sebastian Loeb's Rally Cross team's cars at the week end was attended by 9 fire engines. They were still in the transporter truck at the Lydden circuit when the fire started. Fortunately the fire was contained in the tightly packed paddock and the rest of the week end's races were able to continue, but the World Rally Cross round was scratched.

I watched that rubbish. I called the three of them fanatics. What a bunch of virtue signalling losers. Geoff you and the McMaster have pointed out the real life depreciation currently on EVs.

Once people have "made their minds up" about something - _anything_ - getting them to admit they're wrong is much more difficult than people realise, in fact often close to impossible. Mistaken beliefs often only die with the people holding them.

Just A FACT for you, I have had personal experience of a Tesla model S Plaid, it chewed through 3 sets of tyres in 30k, never ever got the promised range and I tried to drive it like a Nun!! But worst of all, after just 42k the battery suddenly lost its performance bringing range down to 40 miles!!

Its basically a religion. Impossible to argue with EV folks.

Here's a thought. Has the govt realised or started listening to the right people and realised their plans are unobtainable? Now they need to sway the people in a different direction so they can listen and react by not banning ice vehicles.

Actually Geoff, one of the prevailing thoughts on Fully Charged is Stop Burning Stuff. That encompasses - don’t have a car, cycle, walk. Recycle reuse. Find a way to do what you need by burning less. Nothing in life is perfect, people still need to get to work, kids to school, economies to plod on. But the though is to it by burning less stuff. This comes up in quite a lot of Fully Charged content.

Breaking news ,instead of just stop oil, we have a new organisation called, Just stop ev's 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love the show mate, Jeoff. Keep up the good work 👍👍

I’d rather have terminal boils on my arse than have an EV.

This is a good one…

I had an electric remote control car, I soon changed it for a glow fuel one as I was sick of running out of battery power and having to wait hours to recharge.....

I own an EV and I must say I am delighted with it. I have not had any nightmare experiences. I bought it secondhand, so I avoided some of the depreciation problem. I plan to keep it for 10 years or more. I belong to a couple of social media EV groups and the people on there are mostly very happy with their cars. Some have had bad experiences, but they seem to be in the minority.

I just had to get a "newcar", 2008 fiesta. After my 206 finally gave up the ghost, after 10 years of service. This was the mother in laws car, which she got new. Let's keep old cars alive.

Absolutely brilliant vid Geoff, and many points very well put. The most environmentally friendly car is an existing vehical in excellent condition being continually serviced and properly maintained. That way, you don`t have the environmental impact of a new car, and just keep driving the thing replacing parts when they wear out. So long as the bodywork stays in good condition, without rusting, it would be far more environmentally friendly to just replace worn parts, and not the whole car. 3 years ago, i bought a Mazda 6 diesel. It does on long motorway journeys 65mpg, and over 45mpg around town. It has considerably less than 30,000 miles on it, It was 9 months old when i bought it, and is now just under 4 years old. I do around 7-8,000 miles per year, so around 10 tankfulls of diesel. With that amount of mileage every year, if the engine does 200,000 miles, it will outlast me. So long as i can keep getting spares for it, i`l keep it for what will likely be the rest of my driving life. I paid just under £20,000 for it, which if i DID do 200,000 miles in it, would equate to 10p per mile in car purchase value, plus running costs, and being diesel, not only can i do theoretically in excess of 700 miles per tankful, at around £70 for a tankful that`s a rough estimate of 10p per mile in fuel costs. I will be keeping my diesel for as long as i can, and at 65 years old, i doubt i will need to buy another car. Now that`s what i call environmentally friendly.

Well said. The EV shills will all be on the payroll.

Charging infrastructure greed is killing the EV. Basically, if you can’t charge at home in a garage or driveway, the cost let alone the inconvenience of charging elsewhere is going to be the blocker to owning an EV. Virtually no “used car” buyer has a garage or driveway where they can charge cost effectively at home. No one wants to spend several hours a week charging at a charge station, and certainly not when it costs more per mile than diesel or petrol.

Used to watch fully charged all the time but they now come across as condescending and smug looking down on anyone who doesn’t agree with them

Did they ask why the "anti-EV" content is popular? Clickbait only works on people who want it.

Why the push to electricity everywhere? Meters, heating, cars and banks? Who decided that and why? Who is asking the people for their opinions? Any idea how all of this will work if we have a massive power out or cyber attack ?? 🧐

Why not just let the consumer decide EV vs ICE - as we did before the "new normal"?

Something seems to have been missed in the whole EV debacle, the negative effect on jobs and businesses. If the engine or gearbox in your ICE car becomes unusable for one reason or another, you can replace it with either a new, part used from salvage or refurbished item. If your EV battery or drive motors pack up, the cost of replacement will mean it's as cheap to just get another car......another EV that's produced a vast amount of emissions during its production. Then there's the whole aftermarket car modification and tuning industry that supply, fit and maintain the engine, gearbox, suspension mods that are so popular amongst 'petrolheads'. There's also the huge car parts industry that supplies all the parts used by local independent garages and the DIYer who does their servicing at home.

So predictable. I LOVE the way they attack any criticism or negative response and fail spectacularly to acknowledge all the rather large failures of the EV. They will never acknowledge their own faults and it doesn't surprise me that they carry on like they do because they are so bought up by the agenda and those financing it. Great video Geoff

It's a cult. Dealing with a member of a cult is like trying to reason with someone who is stupid. Maybe stupid = cult!?!?!

Fully Charged has a fundamental vested interest in casting aspersions on those who question the political push towards EVs. If any KZfaq Channel is to be accused of misinformation on the matter of EVs, Fully Charged should be the first to be questioned.

The 3 of them on the fully charged show are condescending and sanctimonious especially LLewelyn.

Could it be their phones have stopped ringing in the last 15-20 years

Had my diesel car for 11 years, 165,000 miles. Still going well. Will not buy a replacement.

When Geoff mentioned renting a vehicle, my mind immediately went to the words published by the World Economic Forum: "you will own nothing and be happy". I have already seen an advertising feature for Volvo cars, encouraging people to lease a car from them, rather than buy one. Is this the way we are headed, in order to fulfil Herr Schwab's prediction? This connection jumped into my head when I heard renting cars. We already have that - it's called car hire. One can now see how the dots are beginning to join together in the EV plan!!! Just like climate emergency and all the other nonsense we have endured over the last few decades, it is arrant nonsense and not to be entertained at any cost. All these ideas are massive scams, which if accepted and normalised, will cost humanity their liberty.

The consumer ultimately is the EVs biggest critic. The business model so far is to use bureaucrats and the law to force people to buy an over priced product. I dont care to an extent how "good" or "moral" and EV car is per se, I am not going to make a bad personal decision to have one. It must provide utility at the rate I can and will afford.

the EV pushback is because more info from non main stream media has surfaced about EV's not being as green as we have been told.

Geoff please visit the plant on Iceland that produce petrol from renewable energy. This is in so much better in so many ways. Cars that run on batteries makes no sense at all.

We went to the Morgan factory last year, fantastic tour around the factory, on the tour my husband mentioned if they got a electric model as he noticed a grey car tucked away on the side, to which the tour guide showed him and a few others around the electric vehicle a little bit, looked ok and asked if it will be released in near future, he replied the main problem being the supply of parts the biggest problem, just saying what he said.

Actually EV experts do not recommend Fully Charged 80% charged is the preferred approach for extending battery life. They also recommend not allowing the battery to fall below 20% charge. So there you have it, you should only use 60% of your potential battery capacity (range)

I would expect a very salty response from them, whoever runs their social media has the maturity of grumpy frog.

They encourage you to buy diesel then shaft you. They now encourage you to buy EV odds are very very high they will shaft you again and the odds are more than ten fold this time.

Excellent summary and you are right to highlight the 'Undeniables' as many people are blindly walking in to buying an EV 'just because it is fashionable to do so.' Thanks for presenting the other side of the EV argument.

The only market for an EV is either for posh and rich enough people to have as 0-60 monsters, or as a second car to a petrol or diesel.

Ev's are the new mobile phones. You rent it and then throw it in landfill as they're basically disposable.

My car is 23 years old and has 215k miles on it , need a new one soon but it will be petrol ! And I am planning on it lasting at least 15 years

Perhaps Mr Wilson & pals should ask themselves why I should buy an EV based on an advert showing a model rollerskating down a road?

i guess "fully charged" have been bought & paid for.

PLeASE add 1 more argument: As EVs are (much) heavier, they objectively consume MORE energy to move.

Car parks and bridges under threat from heavy EVs? Range Rover 2300kg, BMW X5 2300kg, Volvo XC90 2100kg, Tesla Model Y 1900kg. Which ones should we ban from car parks?

Anyone would think Quinton Wilson was sponsored by the EV market...🤫

Never knew Quentin Willson was an electric car shill, really surprised by that.

Anyone know if crash tests have been done on these heavy EVs v ICE equivalents?

I was a milkman for a number of years and the only time I've ever experienced a vehicle fire was on my electric milk float.I've witnessed at first hand an electric vehicle fire and i would NEVER personally buy an electric vehicle.Anecdotal,personal story,but no one pushing EVs would ever convince me of the merits of an EV.

I unsubscribed from fully changed due to fact that every car that had a battery was incredible far superior to anything the extra 1 tonne was great because it was mounted low down

great stuff keep exposing the utter rubbish these idiots spout Geoff - the questions you put forwrad that they need to answer are just briiiant and I’d like to see them do it - dont think that’s going to happen!

Good report Mr Buys-Cars! Everything these days goes hand in glove with an agenda - usually a heavily incentivised one at that!

Insurance companies are saying they can't repair evs even if just slight damage because no one is trained to repair batteries and they stand for weeks taking up parking spaces at garages because they have to be kept wide apart. So Insurance companies write them off so they don't even get to even out with carbon at build

EV sales are only going up because Company Car fleets are now Electric based as they get huge tax breaks for doing so.I wonder how much my 1973 Austin 1100 will be worth come 2030?Add to that it will run on synthetic fuel its got to be a shit load more green than an EV.One question how clean are LPG fuelled cars?

There are vintage electrics you're not taking into account. Nice driving position, easy access, single passenger seat but the mother of all boot space and all measured in milk bottles!

Hi Geoff, forget all the technical details. The government say the country is in financial crisis because we have too much credit, they want us all to go and buy new cars at 3x the price. Lack of join up thought thinking.

"Fact Check" from a channel specifically set-up to promote the use of EV's is code for "let me tell you some of our lies". QW also has a collection of classics and knows his classics are safe and will potentially climb in value. Who benefits?= He does. My question would be " who funds the fully charged show"?

Hi Geoff, this is absolutely true, not made up, my next door neighbour bought an EV, he ran it for a few months, and then realised it was costing as much as a petrol, but with all the inconvenience of having to stop and charge the damed thing on long journeys. So he's bought a petrol car now. and the EV, sits on his drive unable to sell it. The Morrell of this story is, don't buy an EV 😂😂

A well thought out breakdown of the current argument for EV's. The only logical outcome from which is the "Fully Charged Show" invite you to debate the questions you raise in a future episode. Now that would be groundbreaking coverage!

Nobody wants to kill the electric car they just don't want to be forced into having one when the environmental benefits are dubious, drawbacks plentiful and future unclear

.I think you may find that the 'Fully Charged ' lads don't want a debate . They want to influence .

These people can’t debate Geoff , they just scream ,shout and cancel others who have a different opinion than their own. Great point about classic cars .

Nice to see you have some of the ‘greenist’ cars behind you- Morgan’s. Green because the average owner keeps them for 10-years.

My experience with an electric car was horrific, no way will I buy another one, give me synthetic fuel any day.

Should EVs be allowed on cross channel ferries or the tunnel ?

Ouch! I couldn't watch anymore of that charged show video than i had to. The guy on the left spoke more turd than the total thats ever been excreted from out my backside. An absolute clearly funded video from the pro EV camp. Great work as usual geoff. 👌

I wasn't a fan of electric cars anyway, but the push from the Government to get people in them is enough for me to absolutely detest them. Plus I couldn't drive a car that has no engine sound. HA Gayyyyyeeeee

Well said. 1, cobalt is mainly mined in DRC. 2, It is mined by children as young as 7 and the death rate is unacceptable. 3, Areas of the DRC and being devastated by mining. 4, The miners are paid dreadful wages and awful conditions 5, Cobalt is unrecyclable 6, If 35% of cars become battery powered , Every electricity substation in Britain MUST be upgraded. 7, Where are all the people who live in hi rise, terraced and houses without parking supposed to charge their vehicles? 8, Where are people without mains supposed to charge? 9, Farm vehicles that tow livestock trailers? 10, Affordable spare parts and maintenance? 11, vehicles Affordable to the less well off, Something nobody will discuss. Ask thosev3 that question 12, range and heater use in winter? Thats just a few

I can't wait until the valve of E-types to go down. Been waiting all my life for that.

It's about virtue signalling. I have a PCH deal on my existing car but I don't want my next car! How does that sound?

The EV-angelists get their backs up when anybody interferes with the buttering of their bread at your expense. These are the sort who ran ahead telling everyone how great the invading Vikings were.

My concern is what will happen to our network of petrol stations if IC cars become a minority? Range anxiety will then be for all motorists, not just EV owners. I suspect that would suit the powers that be just fine - they hate people being free to travel.

Dear Geoff I looked in to Buying a EV. and did my homework before I even starting to Watch your channel and I Yeah, came to the same conclusion as you did and still do . and yes I will admit I am a petrol head by could not work out how come a new car of any description was good for the environment please keep doing what you are doing kind regards

Quentin Wilson WAS a massive petrol head. The only reason I can see him NOW promoting EV's is because he is the CEO of an EV company, or he has shares in an EV company or he is getting paid lots of money by EV companies to say they are good. That is the only reason it can be, MONEY and money talks, because MAN is greedy

EV's are killing themselves by bursting into flames on ships bringing them to our shores

Not all EVs are equal. I have a Tesla long range and it's probably the best car I've ever owned (I've owned at least 70 cars during my lifetime).

What about the environmental cost when the EV is done ?

And what is the Environmental exposure of disposing of Dead batteries ??
