Does it really take 30 mins to plan EV trips?!
according to certain UA-camrs and comments from individuals who I assume watched those certain videos, planning a trip in an EV is an absolute nightmare and can take 30mins or more.

    nature doesn't use batteries. she uses oils, sugars and fats for storing energy, efficiently and safely. while she stores the energy, she air conditions the world and stores carbon (transpiration and photosynthesis in trees and other plants). now, the thing about charging from electricity "generated" by wind turbines is that the living part of the cycle is net-zeroed out. there is no photosynthesis which means short-cutting the cycle. the result is growing deserts. death. while many have grasped with both hands, the accidental monkey derivatives, lost in space paradigm, somehow to mitigate their responsibilities, they don't think enough about the whys and wherefores of how things actually work. not a good idea. the general rejection of EV's does show that people aren't as carried by advertising. if you want to "save the world", plant trees.

  • @khalidacosta7133
    @khalidacosta7133 8 місяців тому

    Where this preconception comes from is simple physics. Heavier vehicles cause more particulate matter emissions from both tyres and road surface. It doesn't matter whether it's ICE or EV (it does slightly due to the high torque of the EV but most people don't drive hard on a daily basis). So you can have tyres that have a harder compound which wear slowly but less grip, or a softer compound which has more grip but less wear. However, a vehicle's mass will ALWAYS wear tyres down more and cause more particulate matter from the road surface due to Newtons 3rd law. The tyre carcass can influence this slightly but a lot will be due to suspension geometry too, some car manufacturers adjust the suspension to have more grip but lower tyre life and vice versa. The issue most people get hung up on is that you have to compare apples to apples. Saying I get better tyre life from a Kona eV than a Range Rover is pointless. It needs to be a comparison of the exact same suspension geometry, the same car, the same tyres, driven on the same roads, in the same manner but with different weights. It's the same issue when comparing vehicle fuel economy - there are just too many variables to consider a fair test!

    May I point out you stated you bought the diesel car because you were told it was cheap to run and good for the environment...... Yet you appear to have bought the electric car for the same reasons. Can I ask if you actually do and research yourself before believing the drivel that you're fed, prior to making very expensive decisions? I've seen this video as a follow up to your video about false claims of ev tyres lasting 5k miles. Firstly, I'm not aware of these claims, nothing credible anyway. But regardless of that, you clearly want to debunk any negative claims towards EVs. Can I perhaps suggest you provide some facts towards your positivity towards the ev movement, and then an actual conversation can be had? At the moment you appear to be blindly following the heard. Many thanks

    I used to own a highly tuned* Audi 100, FWD barge; I dont think I ever managed more than 10k on a set of front tyres, no matter the brand; as the torque would rip them to shreds if I wasnt careful with my right foot - and I was barely out of my teens, so you KNOW I wasnt careful with my right foot. * 0-60 3.8 seconds faster than book; and I used to cruise the motorways at 100 mph (pre speed camera days); at an average of 45 mpg. The first couple of weeks of owning my "sedate" KIA Soul EV, I had wheel spin issues, as it takes while to retrain your foot; not helped by the previous owner putting totally the wrong tyres on it. Not had a wheel spin since ditching those tyres, even in the extreme wet - other than 1 VERY steep, crooked camber junction, when everyone has issues - I ripped the handbrake mech out of one car - trying to hold at that junction.

      I'll get 33k from the fronts and hopefully 45k from the rear. I don't hang about, and for a front wheel drive car with 395 Nm of torque I think that's great. I suppose EV haters will just make up numbers to suit their opinions. I have looked through the online tyre database and the users who have reviewed their primacy 4's are not getting anywhere near a regular 60k miles. Prove me wrong. I am willing to change my mind if the data is there.

EVs are Currently heavily subsidised by the tax payer. Rule is to Never buy new technology. Don’t be a Guinea pig. Wait and see what happens. So far it looks like it’s falling apart as dealerships stock are filling up with unsold EVs. Has anyone seen a EV fire. Thermal runway is scary.

      😂Wtf are you on, I'm absolutely loving my EV, do like 20k miles of motorway driving per year for work, changed front Micheline Primacy E4s at 34k miles, the rears still have tonnes of tread left, almost identical story to the chap who made this video. Enjoy getting left behind

      Petrol tanks explode way more offen than batteries per 100k vehicles in each & every class, your full of complete rubbish. Also LiFePo4 batteries are almost 3x safer than NMC (which, again are safer than a tank of fuel). LiFePo4 is so safe its almost impossible to encourage thermal runaway, you'd physically have to drive the car into a burning red hot building and chuck timber in there to keep the temperature up for a longer period, even then good luck achieving thermal runaway

      @@mhoward181 that has nothing to do with EVs themselves, and everything to do with lack of current infrastructure, majority of cars in Norway are electric, they have adequate rapid charging infrastructure & their unit price/kWh averages 33p/kWh Vs the UK average public charger at 89p/kWh. It's not EVs, it's our pathetic country, Europe is making a good effort, we are so far behind, exactly why I'm moving to Norway to enjoy my EV (amongst all the other benefits of not living in the UK)

    I believe they make specific tyres for EVs in order to get good mileage. However if your to replace with cheap tyres then you'd likely see 10k miles a set. Michelin tyres are about the best and are renowned for their longevity. Also depends on how you drive, if you drive like ya hairs on fire then absolutely youll see much less miles.

      Michelin Cross Climates are great tyres. But Im only getting 10k miles on a 2l diesel estate. But I accept it because in the cold and wet they work so well, so I sacrifice range in return for safety on a good positive feel

    I saw the video where the guy said he's getting about 11k out of his tyres and its on a Porsche Tican so for him thats the case compared to this video. He also did a drive from John O Groats to lands end vs a diesel BMW. And highlighted issues with the charging network with Porsche charging him £80 for 1 charge with the cheapest one being around £20. Not to mention the roughly 7hours longer he took with all the charging breaks. So its great this you tuber can carge at home on an off peak special for just under £5. But for those who have to rely on the current charging network there bills seem to be a lot higher. Its worth watching @geoffbuyscars of the challenge as it highlights the issues with the charging network and the massive difference in price charged to charge there batteries. the guy with the EV Porsche has his own channel where he talks openly about his ownership experience of an EV and how he wants to love it but its not giving him the experience he'd hoped for. Unfortunately you ownly hear about the best and the worst.

    My Tesla model 3 dual motor weighs 4,065 lbs. My Mercedes C43 weighs 4,084 lbs. Same class same performance. Same weight. I agree that the EV naysayers make blanket statements that are just plain false. The comments of course coming from folks who have never driven much less owned an EV. It's sad that nearly all topics in today's society somehow has to end up withasdive division and extreme views leading to ugly exchanges. I love my EV and it works amazing for ME. if it's not feasible for others,,, that's OK. But no need to slag off a product just because it doesn't fit your requirements. Hence I refrain from taking an indignant stance in favor of EVs and only express how nicely it works for me. No judgement negatively towards those who don't share the same view. But, indeed it's mind boggling the crap put forward denigrating EVs. Bizarre.

      @@chrisbarron5861 I get about 32,000 miles on the C43 and they were shot (primarily rear). The Tesla currently has 27,000 and they still look kinda ok but I suspect I might get also near 32,000. My point is they go through tires pretty much equally with weight not being a factor. I run Michelin pilot sport 4 on the C43. The Tesla has Hankook and I'm not sure about the replacement possibility if I stay with what they came with. This is in Thailand where it's hot and with very little traffic enforcement it's common to drive a bit more "spiritedly".
