@@markhutton6055 it must be insanely heavy. it's a ludicrous car.

In some countries the governments are forcing your hand. If your vehicle is 10 years old you will face excessive fines until you get rid of it. Then they offer penalties to people who drive diesel vehicles in an attempt to force people to purchase EVs. Problem is they are too expensive so the uptake hasn't been good but the fines and penalties haven't been removed from policy. So it's not that people are running out to buy EVs but they are being coerced.

Have you seen how Tesla owners write comments on social media? Not the most intelligent people, are they?

@@wendymartin6479 I am surprised no one has been pushed over the edge.

Don't worry, no one bought one, they were all on lease .... 😂

I got an EV 3 years ago as a company car due to the tax benefits. However, thankfully I've stopped doing long journeys because it would cost a fortune paying for motorway chargers! But I would never get an EV using my own money.

Correct. It's all b.s. 👌

A bit like the separated recycling being thrown into the back of the same truck.

100% true It all gets mixed up and by the time it gets used there is no way that you can say it is 100% renewable

This channel doesnt do ev's are failing, hysterical nonsense, you have MGUY pushing that content. You can own an EV and not sign up to anything net zero.

And tonnes of cake, or so it seems.

​@sullivan912 I've only charged at home so far 6476miles in. I actually fancy a bit of cake never had any yet. Also its only costing £30 a week in electricity. Not £200

Unless you just home charge. It is literally just 5 seconds to plug in and next day, 5 seconds to unplug. You can add over 150 miles during off peak for just £2.50. That is the core benefit of leccy. Choice of how you charge. Fossil cars never get free or off peak pricing and they dont come to your house to fill your car up.

And they do not depreciate anywhere near as much as an EV, so any saving and a bunch more is down the toilet with an EV.

Electric cars are simple and motor inverters is 40 years old tech. The main two problems are all of the non-essential crap that gets tacked on top and current battery tech including charging infrastructure being about half as good as it needs to be before BEVs become genuine alternatives to ICEVs under almost all circumstances. With solid-state batteries, we should get EVs that give 50% more range on a battery that is physically half the size and weight 3-5 years from now.

And will remain the future

I have an S type 4.0 V8 that is currently £45 for 200 miles. Taking the bev efficiency calculator it does 200mpg.

That's why some of them have VTL cables 😂 to power the kettle and microwave .

Read "Will get nowhere near to..."

True, so true.

The EVangelists always use the argument "well petrol/diesel cars never get their full range" My least efficient car is my 4.4 v8 M5 and it can do 500+ miles to a tank in the real world. My best is an old S350 bluetec and that can do 1000 miles to a tank in the real world. The worst petrol cars have a range that the very best EV's can only dream of

I see this quoted a lot, but the UK national grid very publicly say that there is no problem with the infrastructure and that the necessary generating capacity is being built. They even have an easily googled webpage on the subject. Just search for "can-grid-cope-extra-demand-electric-cars".

So it sounds like you're telling me it would be more logical and environmentally friendly to stick with the cars we already have with the infrastructure we already have Just make it more efficient.

@@joebrandon1730 EVs may be the future, maybe not. In the short term we stick with fossil fuels. With hydrogen as an intermediate step perhaps. Technology has to come before policy. Not the other way round. You cannot base policy or economy on the hope that a technology will arrive. Governments have risked sending civilisation to a massive dead end, with all the costs that entails.

A hard English winter is different from most countries,where it’s a crisp dry kind of cold, in the uk it’s the damp cold that does it, when you have an over cast day,mid winter just below freezing,it gets into your bones,there’s nothing quite as bone chilling.

Good luck with those winters once Justin forces all of you into electric cars

Geof buys cars only covers electric cars because each time he poops on EVs his wives go through the roof and he makes a ton of cash from youtube.

Self inflicted, and that goes for anyone who buys/leases etc. an EV. I mean it's not as if the facts haven't been out there for some considerable time is it!

@@robertbox5399 10MW is a bit slow. Standard car delivery is between 30 and 40 litres per minute (17 to 23MW). Apparently truck stops pump up to 120 l/min, or 73MW! So every 17th truck stop would need another Sizewell B to pump the same amount of electrical energy. It isn't going to happen! Even if you assume a supporting 400% efficiency improvement.

And you are lying. Sensible people charge overnight. You are the one full of BS. Planet polluting as well

I've probably got a 40ft driveway

Number 1 way to show people you know nothing about EVs - say they go on fire all the time. Yet around the world, insurance company stats say its at least 20 times more likelycthst a petrol car will go on fire

@@davidwall8954say that again while watching videos of a burning roll-on-off car Ship with burning EVs..

The EV has to be within the equipotential zone on your home, so connection faults can't electrocute pedestrians. This means running wires across pavements is illegal regardless of trip hazards.

Two EV's from two houses could have a voltage between them if they don't share the same connection to the grid. This is also a hazard.

all very valid points!

Yes, real people's experiences with them Vs the hype.

Super aspirational and the best 😂

Depends how you evaluate it. Take into consideration that all manufacturers use the same suppliers for batteries and electric motors, then drivetrain wise, every EV is the same. A Porsche Taycan is just a more attractive Tesla Model S with even panel gaps. Just as an Audi A3 is basically a Skoda Octavia with leather seats.

£100k more than the typical electric car

@@chrishart8548 £120k for a Taycan, verses £115k for a Model S. That's not £100k more. Unless you're Diane Abbott.

@@matthewgodwin3050 is it still that much for a model S ? I can get a nice used model 3 for £13.5k now.

I don't know.....the EV charging station I do 95% of my charging at has a roof, a theatre room, a kitchen, a garage, 2 livings rooms, a dining room, a laundry, 3 bathrooms and 5 bedbrooms etc. and it's available 24/7/365 - seems comfortable enough to me.

That’s great if you have a driveway of your own, I don’t have off street parking and it’s a lottery as to whether I’ll get my car anywhere near my house. The council have put one slow charger in for the three roads around me, but it’s open to non residents too. My neighbour who has had a plug in hybrid for the last two years, has yet to charge his car on it as it’s always occupied by non residents.

@@TB-up4xi OOh look at you able to charge at home, how fancy...

They want everything connected so government can turn it off. Literally already happening in Germany they gave legal authority to turn off ev chargers and heat pumps because the grid can't cope in certain areas. You will own nothing and be happy 😮

@@arcadeuk yes you can - my EV costs 1/7th of your stupid petrol car to drive down the road and only spend 5 seconds plugging it in.

@nathansmith... you haven't taken into account the depreciation cost over your 3 year ownership. Add that in, your per mile cost is way more than ICE.

@@fredfred2363 if you buy a used one then depreciation works for you. If you buy, say, a diesel Audi, it'll be worth 45-53% of it's screen price in 3 years. That's not really a good investment, is it? I bought my Skoda Enyag (large family car with all the bits) for the same price as a A class Mercedes of the same year with the smaller lackluster engine.

With all the problems electric cars cause magnetic pollution isn't even on the list... Everything that runs on electricity is producing electromagnetic waves as well as the planet.

Virtue signaling has a cost

@@aygwmvery true

Then you are totally stupid

What complete and utter moronic nonsense! Why would anyone think buying an EV would be wise if you can't home charge... That's the epitome of being a moron... Although That of course could be said about anyone buying a 4L twin turbo sports car, or Range Rover SV.... In fact It's exactly the same argument as buying a Range Rover SV then bitching about it costing a lot to run FFS🙄, about as dumb a straw man argument as it gets!!! Jeez there's some thick people about and with ridiculous cognitive bias. I'm a petrol head, had several +500hp cars, 350hp Ariel Atom, several track cars and too many Superbikes over the years, drove for a long term a 2.4L Volvo for family stuff... I've just got a new Model 3LR and done 3000 miles, covered 1563 miles in the last month, not once been to a supercharger in those 1563 miles, and it's cost me £25 this month Go figure....!!! My fist long trip Leeds to reading and back was 416 miles, I stopped ONCE for 14 minutes at the Supercharger at Oxford and it cost £13.20 for 24Kw, total trip cost was £17.57 , As it was a work trip I claimed back £187.20 at 45ppm. So basically that single trip with £169.43 of reimbursement has paid for the next 10,165 miles of my private mileage!! Although judging by the stupid comments on here grasping this basic math will be beyond many! Actually engage some intelligence rather than listing to this clearly biased and made provoke bullshit, like that Muppet The MacMaster who spouts blatant lies and false bullshit for likes and followers of those daft enough to believe him.

For those who run new company cars, home charge and do less than about 200miles a day, a leased (or business offset) EV makes a lot of sense at present. Publicly gauging others IQ isn't always the most prudent of past times. ;-)

The connectors are standard on all cars all across Europe. The location of the port is normally at the rear left or right, some cars have it in the middle at the front, some on the side at the front, but these days that’s quite rare and only very specific models do that. As long as the cable reaches the port it’s a non-issue.

Those longer charging cables are worth much more to the recyclers … thanks

Drax power station burns woodchip especially imported from South America....totally renewable - it is all a con as we all know. I'm pretty certain the particulates from burning wood are far more environmentally unfriendly than burning oil/gas.

Yes it's all chemically sprayed geo engineered heavy metal skies here..no sun allowed!

NONE of the "renewables" are renewable.. oil is far far cleaner than any of their crap

Been like that for decades... They're just getting cocky enough to not hide it anymore.. PUBLIC SERVANTS need to get a reminder who their bosses are

Up until about 1975 there actually was no regulated size for gasoline nozzles and receiving pipes. Up until then different manufacturers did have different openings. They only introduced a regulation when unleaded petrol started being sold and they needed a way to ensure that the fuels didn't get mixed. As to EVs, there is a standard - CCS2. The EU made it a requirement. You can still buy a few older model cars with chademo, but no-one is releasing a new car with it.

Here in Switzerland, we have plenty of hydropower from water running down the mountains. But that existed decades before the green craze. The reason why our electricity is cheaper than in neighboring Germany is because we put less taxes on it. And we have actually decent wages.

The reason electricity is expensive is because our conservative government sets the price by the wholesale cost of gas. Renewables are irrelevant to the cost.
