😊 Hey guys! We created the Chase Car channel to give viewers a broad overview of the upcoming new cars from the top car manufacturers. We are huge fans of pickup trucks of all sizes: compact, mid-size and full-size trucks. So mostly, we will cover new upcoming trucks, but besides that, here you can find a lot of content about new sedans and SUVs too.
The Electric Vehicle wave sooner or later will become huge, so this type of content might appear on this channel from time to time. But as we are still on the way to becoming fully electrical, we mostly cover fossil cars from many amazing brands.

🏆Are EVs A SCAM? 🤔
🔴It's OFFICIALLY the WORST TIME EVER To Buy EVs! 👉ua-cam.com/video/FIR6h79KS_Y/v-deo.html
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.
I have had a Tesla for 2 years now. All of this is true and there is more.
Do NOT buy an EV unless:
1. You are a homeowner and are willing to buy & install the proprietary fast (50 amp) charger in your garage. Do NOT buy an EV if you live in an apartment/condo-that’s called buying a nightmare.
2. all of your daily driving can be comfortably accomplished with less than half of the vehicle’s published range. In general half the published range is what you have to work with between keeping the battery between 80% & 20% and actually using heat/air conditioning.
3. You are comfortable paying more for insurance than you might for gas ($350/month through Tesla insurance, and that’s just for the Model Y).
4. Both you and your significant other aren’t absent-minded. The car needs constant stewardship to avoid damaging the battery and running the battery too close to 0% can damage it. You have to remember to plug it in every night. Missing even one night is a headache you don’t want. You can’t take it to the airport and leave it in the parking garage because a freeze will turn it into a brick. In general, your life becomes constantly being paranoid about the health of the battery and you never get to just park the car in the driveway and not think about it.
5. You are willing to spend $2,000 on tires every 2-3 years. No, we don’t drive crazy.
6. You are okay with service being VERY expensive for even minor things because your options are limited.
Yeah, there’s some fun things and I don’t regret buying our Model Y, but at the same time I won’t get another EV. There are pros, but the cons outweigh the pros.
Gonna get a non-hybrid Toyota next. The only battery I want in my next car is one I can buy at AutoZone and swap out myself.
Update: another tire popped on the Tesla within 2 weeks of posting this, so that makes a consistent $1,000 per year in tires, a second time having a tow truck come to my house, and another loss of use of the car for 2 days.
That was the last straw. We just went to a Toyota dealer and traded the Tesla in today, straight out of the shop. Good riddance.
My 2024 it’s Toyota Camry gasoline non-hybrid🎉😂
Even for free I don't want
Thanks for the honest review. Interesting to hear a non biased opinion from someone with an electric vehicle

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.
If your camry and accord can get 35 to 40 mpg and be filled up ready to go in 3 to 4 mins why would u buy a EV. Even a 10 year old civic is more reliable than any EV. We got 3 f150 lightnings in our fleet gets 70 to 90 miles to a full charge loose range in the cold day. Our gas powered f150 can get 580 to 630 miles range on a full tank of gas.
My God. Do you know what an incomplete sentence is?
@@lazyhusband EV owner and atheist?
@@EnthusiasticTent-xt8fh No EV for me.
@@lazyhusband How about you address the point made rather than attacking the grammar?
@@ironclaw6969what point?
My car: 5 minutes fill up once or twice a month at gas station and twice a year servicing. That's the only time I think about my car because I have a life.
Okay. I plug in a cable. Takes about 10 seconds.
Why do you need service twice a year if you only fill up once or twice a month? Do you drive an old car?
@@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?
I never fell for the EV scam😂😂
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.
ya, EVs are a scam, n a failure. they didn't work over 100 years ago, didn't
work 50 years ago (liz carmichael - "the dale" car), n still "don't make the grade".
I tried ev's years ago. My daughter's power wheels barbie jeep needed a battery after 2 years. I told myself never again.
😂😂😂
😂
😂
Lol, good one
Mattel have really got to sort this out. It's unacceptable that you buy your child a toy car and they end up living in the box that it came in because they can't afford to maintain the vehicle.
Things to love about EVs:
1. Child battery labor
2. Range anxiety
3. Risk of garage fires
4. Paying 20k more than a comparable vehicle
5. Battery degredation
6. Poor resale value
7. Reduced performance in cold, highway
8. Higher repair costs
9. Awful charging network experiences in the weather without restrooms
10. Higher insurance rates
11. Replacing tires more frequently
But hey theres a tax credit!
You'll be driving, or riding in one in a few yrs. Tune into reality sometime and find out what you are missing?
@@Mrbfgray ya on the golf course. Only good use for a battery vehicle
You forgot to mention waiting while recharging in a bad neighbourhood
still a little price to pay for being better than everyone else 😂
12. Range takes a deep dive while towing anything heavy. Cannot be used for work as a work truck (Cybertruck or Lightning).
13. Can't charge at a public charging station while hauling anything.
14. Can't really offroad an EV with all that weight
Another issue with public chargers that I have found is that copper thieves are stealing the charger cables. That leaves less charging stalls available to recharge with.
Based thieves
Didn't see that coming?
True, but the same could be said about ICE vehicles with catalytic converters.
That's because they need their FIX!!!!!!
I saw a video where a Tesla driver was saying gas-powered pick-up truck drivers were cutting the cables used for charging. Everyone in the comments said it was probably tweakers.

The Tesla service centers near me don't even use Teslas if the techs have to go out on the road, like when they have to come to our bodyshop every now and then. They use Ford diesel pickups or the small Ford transit vans.
Debs husband says that in itself should tell people something. I just saw a story where Biden is backtracking on his ev fiasco. People accuse President Trump of being a dictator but its the Biden administration that used mandates to force the auto industry to build electric vehicles and force them on American citizens. Think of the billions of dollars wasted on this pie in the sky utopia delusion. The government getting involved in the private sector seldom has a happy ending. In their misguided attempts to save the world idiots will destroy the world.
THE INSURANCE IS WAAAAAY 2 HIGH...

Lies!! Pure lies!!
EV manufacturers are targeting women, young and old, because their an easy sell. They don't realize the dangers of Lithium batteries or the long run cost of operation
Barring that fire thing, females and oldsters are the very demographic that would be best served by EV’s …
If it doesn’t burn down our house, an EV would be the perfect grocery-getter for my wife. And after the prices come down and safety goes up, I’m sure that’s what she’ll have.
That's funny. Statistically more men buy EVs than women. Research the facts before speading non-sense.
@@akheeboss2726 - Statistically, more men buy cars than do females, even though there are as many female drivers (in US).

Doctors say, ... if you want to live a long health life, stress free and without worry, ... then never, ... ever, .. ever buy an .. Electric Vehicle.
Yah, you just have to worry about lung cancer or asphyxiation. Not much worry!
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.
@@Pimpernicholas Sounds like you have been listening to a EV salesperson or online orders will tell you anything to make a sale... young unknowing buyers are an easy sell !
If it's Lithium or Lithium base or like most rechargeables.. Beware !
Here you go, in plain English
Lithium batteries are regulated as a hazardous material under the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 C.F.R., Parts 171-180).
Exposure to Lithium can cause loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. ► Lithium can cause headache, muscle weakness, twitching, blurred vision, loss of coordination, tremors, confusion, seizures and coma.
This isn't for me or my family.
Good luck, with your so called .. clean energy !
They are nothing more than extremely fast golf carts with air conditioning.
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!
@@jamesdallas1493 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There are lots of EVs for sale on Market Place. Some of them have been for sale for 4 or 5 months. Lots more that are 1 or 2 yrs old. I wouldn't buy a new one, far less a used one.
If you're happy with your EV, power to you.
I, however, will never own one.
Agreed. I figure that the more people buying EV's, the more ICE vehicles available for me to choose from.
@@k.b.tidwell I will bet that most, if not all EV owners have a second ICE vehicle. When the "status" is gone, it will mostly be used to get groceries. It would work well for that, unless it is cold outside.
@@BuilderofRat that's a very high price to pay for a vehicle only good for minor errands, huh? But then I see people all the time who buy a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel truck just to do the same thing.
@@k.b.tidwell I hear you. I have one of those diesel trucks, but I do not get groceries with it. I slide in a home-made rack the holds 2 quads. I load them over the side of the pickup. Then I hook onto my 25 foot travel trailer and head to the mountains. It is an 09 that I bought in 10. 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?????
My truck is sitting next to the shop with 2,400 pounds of gravel in it for some holes in my driveway. I picked the gravel just before dark, and I was going to shovel it out the next day. The only bad part of my plan was that it froze pretty hard and now I have a frozen pile of gravel in my bed. LOL Oh well, it will thaw out some time. Thanks for the comment.
@@BuilderofRat I've been stuck with that gravel load problem myself, and yes I've sold a bunch of those dual mass Ford and Dodge clutches over the years. A lot of people convert them to old style.
The WEF wants all cars off the road. 1 they tell you EVs are cheaper to run so you buy one. 2 they then tell ice car manufacturers to stop making ice cars. 3 only the top 50% of the population can afford EV but don't like them so don't buy them 3 Increase cost of Ev with insurance and maintenance costs now only top 25% can afford 5 car manufacturers cost Increase due to lack of sales so price increases. Now only top 10% can afford them so car manufacturers go bust so no cars on road 6 force tax and insurance onto push bikes to reclaim lost taxes 7 now no one can afford any form of transport so everyone stays at home 9 introduce 20 minutes city's 10 now everyone is imprisonment and controlled by WEF and backed by governments. You now own nothing, and you will be happy as ordered by the WEF and a German finally rules the world.
Sounds like a solid plan.
This is the best comment yet. So true people need to wake up to what's really going on. EVs are garbage and you can't repair them yourself, but it's bigger than that. It's about making you a slave. Soon no one will own any kind of vehicle. They will own nothing and live in pods and eat bugs and be happy

@@deadshota736 No, but please tell me what is inaccurate in this video.

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.
Huge red flag with EVs no one is talking about;
Hyundai recently quoted a battery repair of 60k on an Ioniq 5($65k new)because the owner scraped the battery cover while driving through a construction zone. The dealership said they can't verify the integrity of the battery.
Now, please tell me what happens to lithium ion batteries in the event of an accident. That is almost guaranteed death. No, thank you!
When you scrape the bottom of youre ICE over a rock destroying the carter pan ..with loosing the oil and than blowing up the engine is also very costly....possible a write off at once....maybe a technical total loss if that oil ignates on hot exhaust or engine parts. (And I've seen these type of accidents...)
It was NOT replacing a battery only...it was accident damage repairing including chassis repairing. (EGMP platform IS the chassis of that car). The battery in that car is built up from modules ...only replacing one damaged module (without other car damages) id 1: guarantee repair, 2: Not that expensove.
But of coarse ICE owners know better....without doing research on such issue.
@@reiniernn9071Scraping your oil pan is far less likely to end up in a fiery death and still far cheaper than replacing toxic dangerous batteries.

Charge my model y once per week using my dryer outlet takes about 5 hours in my garage. Over 100,000 miles now no problems. Took a 4,000 mile trip no problem either. Ignorant people who don’t own a Tesla. Drive what u want. I love my Tesla. 😊 ps I’ve lost about 3 % range for over 100,000 miles. Typically a Tesla will lose about 5% range in 200to300000 miles. You think your gas engine doesn’t lose efficiency over time? 😅 my range is 300 miles currently.
Mechanic here. EVs have to monitor their battery packs all the time. In case of an accident the battery gets instantly disconected. Its required by law. But yes, still wont hinder a fire in many cases.

There's no need to blame Elon Musk for the failures of EVs. The problem is the government and corporatists keep pushing for a 100% EV world. In spite of EV problems, I believe there's room for these vehicles in the market and Musk himself has said that gas vehicles should not become obsolete. There's nothing wrong with being able to opt for gas, electric, hybrid, diesel, etc. We all make our choices based on our own purposes and desires. But when the government gets involved in these decisions, we end up with market distortions, shortages, and all the other frustrations to go with tyranny.
Nope.

What about home heating oil? Gasoline usage will push up oil prices by the same logic.
@@Pimpernicholas Home heating oil actually saves the grid and also isn't subject to the road taxes. If you want to keep your BEV you shouldn't attack anything that takes stress off the grid.
@@Pimpernicholasyou don't use gasoline to heat anything. It actually makes home heating oil more expensive because there is less demand for gas and they can't make as high a profit so they have to raise the price of heating oil. Gasoline and home heating oil are two separate parts of the crude oil and they are separated at the same time. Gasoline was a byproduct of oil at first and was mostly burned off and disposed of before cars

Actually, EVs are not in any way simpler than a conventional vehicle , for a start the battery packs are composed of thousands of single cells with every cell and it's connection being a potential fail point , add to that , it still has gears(not in a conventional sense)and lubricants , it has multiple cooling systems and battery thermal systems , multiple charging systems , and then everything is run by computers and sensors ,
Make no mistake there is nothing simple about electric cars !
And they still have brakes, suspension, steering , electric motors, wipers ,Masses of electric solenoids to open and close stuff , and these things are heavier than a conventional vehicle, so you can expect your tyres to wear faster.
And we haven't even got to the bit about how the battery has to be pandered to so it degrades at a slower rate , or all the other charging cons or the mediocre range from the very beginning.
And I could go on , you couldn't pay me to own one of these things.
Just one video of just one EV burning uncontrollably into the ground convinced me (as if I needed further convincing) that I'll never willingly own an EV. All the rest of those negatives are just more nopes on top of that one great big NOPE.
I agree
its a marketing, they say that EV have simpler engine. Witch is true, just forget to add the rest of the car is more complicated and fragile. Also any electronics is sensitive to environment changes and like stable dry condition. Combustion engine, specially old and cheap cars are way simpler. More parts, easy repairs even engine swap is rentable. EV are one use and anything happened to the battery its cheaper to buy a new one then repair it.
It seems like EVs tick all the wrong boxes 😂😂😂
Yes mate I recently saw a UA-cam video where the technician had pulled down the motor and transmission unit and it was just full of fail points such as flimsy gaskets and seals for the lubrication of that unit.
Gas works. Never be in the first group to do anything. I see it all the time. People in line waiting for the first day the brand new thing will come out. Wait and see what those people think about it, then you can see what is worth your money. If you wait long enough you can get it much cheaper too.
Could have fooled me. There are thousands of EV cars in Florida. I can't drive down a block without seeing one or more EVs pass me by. I literally could be at a stop light and there would be like 4 EV cars around me.
Lessons learned. A few copies of a high tech item is amazing when its "entire" cost of production, overhaul, modification and repair gets pushed aside to facilitate govt subsidies, reelection donations to politicians and tax detection incentives. Estimation of the cost of building more in scale based on the camoflauged prototype is what bites us in the butt down stream. When built in scale it turns out that with the shortage of essential rear earth metals we can never build/recycle enough batteries the make EVs cost effective or repair account for environment
I was an early adopter. EVs can be fun with the instant torque but when the lease was up, I was glad to be done with it. With my gas-powered car, I can once again drive anywhere without having to worry about finding or waiting hours at chargers. They were a fad.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just honestly want to know why you fell for this scam and reacted so quickly and leased one? Do you do that with all your purchases? What was your rationale with following the herd with this EV fiasco?
They need to solve the battery replacement cost. It should be affordable and available anywhere.
Why should it?
Go back! Now try to sell your EV!
like selling an old phone, it has near zero value because the battery is essentially unreplaceable due to cost.
I would not trade my Tesla Model Y Performance for any other car on the road, period.

@@robertkubrick3738epic battery issues are not that common, they are not something most drivers deal with as part of owning an EV. Kinda similar to having your engine or tranny blow, it sucks, it's expensive, but it doesn't happen very often. Further battery prices are now dramatically lower than they once were and the cost will continue to go lower as packs are now produced in the millions. By the time my battery might need replacing in 10 years or so the replacement cost could easily be less under %25 from what it was when my pack was new in 2022.
@@MarkMaxwell-author WRONG! Battery packs develop faults. There are sensors and there are about 15,000 electrical connections in each pack any one of which can require replacement with a rebuilt pack Cobbled together from MULTIPLE Already FAILED packs. What could possibly go wrong? The Tesla Uber driver had a pack fail at 40,000 miles, then again 6 weeks later for the same fault, THEN AGAIN just under his 100,000 mile warranty. He gets to buy the next pack and it's equal to the value or possibly more than the value of his car now. That's for another pack Cobbled together from MULTIPLE failed packs, what could go wrong? You can find this guy on YT. BEV makers are COUNTING on you to keep the mileage low so they can get out of warranty. Gently home charge and your range anxiety and battery life anxiety keeps you from making longer drives and just tooling local. Try and use it like you would an ordinary ICE car and it fails. Hertz rental tells you they fail and are money pits. SIXT car rental says the same

Sounds like you are jealous cos you can't afford one 😂
Um , 3,000-4,500 degrees Fahrenheit lithium battery fires is a good concrete melting reason to switch back to internal combustion vehicles. Then there's the fact that the batteries are fragile, one 35 mph crash and the batteries are potentially compromised. Lithium battery packs can't be plugged in overnight or risk waking up to an angry, raging fire . Power outtage severely reduces your ability to charge up . The more electric vehicles there are , the more inefficient charging becomes because the electrical grid for one , can't handle the increased load and electricity will have to be made from diesel generators . Too many cons , not enough pros .
Let's not forget that EV's pose a serious fire hazard.
..and gasoline doesn’t?
When was the last time that a gas powered vehicle spontaneously combusted parked in a garage and burned the house down? The answer is NADA.
There's been many reports of EV's doing just that while charging or not. If you did your homework, you'd find a plethora of reasons why EV's are a bad investment..

Tesla model Y was the Best selling carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023
I don’t know about that. In my house we have two EV a 2017 Volt, a 2021 model 3 and a 2018 Dodge Durango. The two EV’s have been very reliable, and I have not had any issues with them. The Durango also have not given me much problem, but it is costly to maintain.
However, I’m a mechanic, so continue buying gas car so I could have job security.
A very important reason people are shying away from EV's in my opinion is that they start to realise that they've been told only half of the story of EV's. And that half is the positive side of EV's. As more people have now used EV's as daily drivers, more and more of the negative side comes to light. And that both scares off new buyers and has many EV owners abandoning their EV's and reverting to driving an ICE or hybrid vehicle.
Never had a problem in 3 years and 42k miles, in fact I've just ordered another one

Another big problem with electric vehicles is that the Federal Government and some state governments such as the government of the state of California are not only strongly promoting electric vehicles, but they are making laws that will force electric vehicles on many of us who do not want electric vehicles. So the question comes up that with all the problems that electric vehicles have and the documented environmental impacts of electric vehicles, will the government change its stand and laws on electric vehicles? My best guess is that the government will change nothing, because they are way over concerned about carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and are convinced that they must force electric vehicles to save the planet from climate change. This whole matter of climate change and global warming has been blown way out of proportion. Also because I was born in 1951 I have seen over my lifetime tremendous improvement in gasoline powered cars over the years. Compared to what was available in the 1960s and what is available now. Gasoline powered cars emit far less pollutants. Also cars get far better gas mileage. Also gasoline powered cars are much safer. Also today's gasoline does not contain the toxic chemical called tetraethyl lead.

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.

Easier said than done. Most of these EVs are financed. To get out of your lease early will cost. In many cases the pay out will be more than the value of the vehicle. So many people wanting to get out, won’t be able to unless they want to lose thousands.
Buying any car is really a long term commitment unless you pay cash.
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.

@@alleyoop5185 I have no problem with nuclear energy but coal is very polluting. There is no coal used for electrical generation in our province. The last coal generator was dismantled many years ago. To replace this pollution, we got the blow-over from Ohio from their coal plants.
My educational background involved some nuclear physics.
The infrastructure is not ready. Home/ public chargers are not sufficient. Stay with gas for at least the next 20 years.

Too complicated electronics is the main problem of both gas and electric vehicles. I’m have 24 yrs of experience in this field
What in the Audi M4??????😳😳😳
is it any better than my Mercedes M5 TDI?
The house of cards crashes to the ground
Totally. Gas cars are coming to and end with Tesla model Y being the most popular car sold this year globally. We can't keep relying on fossil fuels and paying 80% duty on fuel.
Batteries are not a viable source of motive power for long-distance travel. But they are excellent for golf carts, warehouses, yard work, and similar activities.
My insurance cost went down when changing from a Chrysler 300 SRT to a Model S Plaid Tesla. Same company, same coverage.
Chrysler 300’s are expensive to insure because they are predominately ghetto-mobiles.
Just like every other time we tried EVs!
A recent study found that electric cars release more toxic emissions than gas powered vehicles and are worse for the environment.
Electric vehicles also present safety concerns.
Reduced range in cold weather when heat and window defrosting are required will discourage their use, decreasing visibility and putting lives at risk, especially on longer trips.
If EV gets stuck, stranded in a snowstorm, or slides off road, heat will not be maintainable.
If stuck in a traffic jam in summer heat, air conditioning will not be usable and will be used less often in general, to maintain range. Opening windows increases vehicle drag and reduces efficiency.
Drivers are also less alert when uncomfortable and arrive at destinations annoyed, possibly requiring a shower, if available. This is not good for the professional traveler attending a business negotiation or meeting.
EV fires are very difficult to extinguish.
An EV traffic jam fire in a confined area could be horrific.
The study found that brakes and tires release 1,850 times more particulate matter than the exhaust of modern gas powered vehicles.
EVs weigh about 30 percent more than gas cars, causing brakes and tires to wear more quickly, releasing increased particulates into the atmosphere.
Particle pollution can increase health problems including heart disease, asthma and lung disease.
More total energy is also required to perform the equivalent work with an EV.
Extracting one ton of lithium requires about 500,000 liters of water and produces large quantities of mineral waste.
Mining the cobalt used in EV batteries emits toxic chemicals and gases that leak into the environment, and extracting metals from the ore emits sulfur oxide and pollutes the air.
Vulnerable people are exploited to secure these resources.
Go green?

Because replacing a battery will be around 6,000 to 15,000 and ain't no way in hell I'm going to spend all that money to get a new battery
My cost to charge my Tesla Model S on PG&E EV off peak rate has gone from 12.7 to 34.6 cents per mile from 2014. So the cost per mile went fromn4 cents per mile to 11 cents per mile. I replaced it with a new model S Plaid which os a bit more efficient so my chaging cost is now 10 cents per mile. My overall cost per mile including depreciation, maintenance, charging, etc has been higher than most ICE I have owned even though I had free supercharging. I also found maintenance costs to be higher than most ICE I have owned.
Your are still trying to be way too nice, one: as a retired Ford mechanic during our training it is required for 2 people to work on an EV in case someone gets electrocuted so if the shop rate is $175 an Hr double that and 2 the Ford Lightening once hooked up to a "trailer" not sand bags only went 97 miles before it ran out of battery, yup! I'll keep my gas pot thanks
My TV is ok with a cord. When it comes to my car don't want no cord . This same thing a 100 years ago. .Gas won it then and 100 years later.😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@waltzsofa1602 EV battery will go dead without a cord. 😁😁😁😁
Charge my model y once per week using my dryer outlet takes about 5 hours in my garage. Over 100,000 miles now no problems. Took a 4,000 mile trip no problem either. Ignorant people who don’t own a Tesla. Drive what u want. I love my Tesla. 😊 ps I’ve lost about 3 % range for over 100,000 miles. Typically a Tesla will lose about 5% range in 200to300000 miles. You think your gas engine doesn’t lose efficiency over time? 😅 my range is 300 miles currently.
I've retired and got rid of my e class and clk cabrio and bought a 2013 Mercedes B180 blue efficiency with 40,000 miles on it for 10,000 gbp.
18 months on we've got 60,000 miles .
This will easily last me another 10 years , and it does 50mpg.
It's bright red and looks brand new.
Why do people spend so much on cars.
Its beyond me, I simply don't get it.
The money spent on EVs is also beyond me 😳
so the trend i’m seeing is the same it has been for years, there are EVs and then there are Teslas’. Aside from spending more on tires and more expensive to repair at body shop, the rest is pretty much a non issue on a Tesla
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?
Dealerships can't give them away right now. Mostly people who have lot's of money and want to make a statement are buying them.
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.
My sister's fam has a tesla since 2017 (came with free lifetime supercharging) but I have never seen it outside of garage because they don't want to drive NJ to MD (200 miles) because of range anxiety. With recent EV charging catastrophe due to cold weather I asked if she is having similar prob. She said their tesla is summer only car. That's right; even people who own EV'S and have free lifetime charging can't or don't want to deal with EV'S shortcomings.
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.

The unreliable charging network is definitely one of the biggest gripes for a lot EV owners out there if you don't use a Tesla (or have a home charger installed). If I dig around for non-Tesla EV chargers on PlugShare in my city, the most common problems I find reported are:
- Charger has no power or is faulty.
- Charger doesn't activate/start charging or doesn't let you pay.
- Charger is blocked by ICE vehicles.
- Charger is derated (has much less charging power than advertised).
- Charging cables or connectors are cut off (seriously?).
- Can't use the charger because it is not open to the public (i.e. it's only for staff/employee use at whatever establishment the charger is located at).
Apparently Tesla seems to be the only EV maker to have a pretty reliable charging network (maybe at most 1 or 2 charging stalls don't work per location at some point, but that's not really a huge problem) although at the moment there's only 2 Tesla Supercharger locations in the entire city (one with 12 charging stalls, another with 8).
outside of California charging networks are a joke

I'll stay away because I can't fix them myself and I like to work on my own car for the most part, instead getting ripped off by the dealership. Most people can't work on EV's even the pros so, therefore they can rip you off because you know nothing about them.
