Most ice cars are hybrid. Pure ice cars is sun set, even for Toyota. Hybrid has the same issues as EVs. Car battery, chassis being molded one piece etc. So it doesn't matter.
What about in car crash? EV tend to be safer for passenger due to large battery holding the impact and crush zone The car will be write off, ur life is saved. Unlike ice car, car can repair but chassis compromised and life lost
Even with regulation changes, it still doesn’t necessarily change the high cost of repairs. Based on my own experiences dealing with insurance claims, if the repair cost hits a certain threshold, the insurance company will opt for write off and compensate only the mkt value. So what happens if the mkt value compensation is lesser than your outstanding loan😮
How are you able to do this without stifling innovation? The reason cars are manufactured the way they are is precise is due to NHTSA and DOT regulation regarding safety regulation. I'm not saying safety shouldn't be valued above all else, but I am saying safety should be valued above chassis repair if the goal is to keep manufacturing costs down.
so what happen to that tesla accident car repair? An real life repair or compensation case would be ideal to illustrate the actual process in singapore if you get into an accident...
All the regulations to make sure cars are safe, but worker transported on truck bed still ok. Is same like malaysia road transport department checking tint VLT % for safety but ignore all the road quality issue
It's no surprise that EV owners, particularly Tesla drivers, tend to drive cautiously, despite their vehicles boasting good horsepower and torque. The high costs of road tax and insurance, coupled with concerns about battery drain, charging, and degradation, can lead to heightened anxiety. These factors may prompt some to opt for premium ICE cars, where they can enjoy driving without major worries.
I have both ICE and EV cars, it's not that I drive cautiously. Its simply because most roads in Singapore do not allow us to freely unlock the true potential of my EV. I can accelerate faster with my EV but I'll get held back by cars in front of me or traffic lights
Agreed. There's the issue with gas cars being too slow to really unleash the electric motor. But id say the larger issue is just the unnecessary tire wear and the anxiety with the high cost of the car. Both are true.
Very good summary but you guys could also easily have pointed out that battery replacements costts are so high that insurers may compel a write off of a damaged car more often than we'd like .....
Absolutely true. When the battery pack is integral to the car' structural integrity itself, it's a high risk to not just replace the battery...which automatically triggers a total loss.
If Tesla designs the large gigapressed part with fracture points at the centre, then the damaged half of the large gigapressed part can be replaced separately?
I have been looking at similar videos warning drivers about EV's and I think this video is very informative indeed. Please keep it up and maybe slow down the narration as I had to look at the words to be able to follow, and there were also mistakes in the words. Anyway, I feel that governments around the world should allow free choice as EV's may suit only certain people. The fire risk is not worth it, as a few large ships carrying them, like the Felicity Ace, have sunken due to fire.
Very informative 👍🏼 IMHO, Keep it simple. If it’s complicated then don’t buy or own it unless you are willing to spend huge amounts of money 💰 Your choice.
You should have also talked about insurance premiums. How much are they? Personally, I don't understand. My 8 yr old Volvo XC60 cost me $2k in insurance. I bought a new car for 185K and pay only $1k. The Volvo cost me $200K in 2015. Same insurer. Clean driving record. To me it is inexplicable.
I’m confused. How is Tesla’s gigacasting process or a carbon monocoque chassis on a supercar/hypercar being generalised to all EV’s? That being said, though expensive, it’s quite ridiculous that a chassis cannot be entirely replaced by a new one. Considering the skillset and equipment needed for a repair, chances are replacement is safer than repair. A simple clause that it has to be new from the manufacturer for the stated model code should suffice.
EVs do not make sense for almost everyone except those that stay in landed properties (and others who can charge their EVs at the given electricity tariffs). Most public chargers outside charge almost double or more (50 to 60c per kWh) than the normal electricity tariffs. This, coupled with the ridiculous road tax structure for EVs (BYD Atto 3 Cat A road tax is already 1.5k which is almost 3x more compared to a comparable 1.5L hybrid Cat A car), makes owning an EV "to save on running costs" just a pipedream. Unless you can charge for free at work or at the minimum tariff rates, you are better off getting a lower capacity hybrid car (which there are many to choose from nowadays)
One way to raise insurance premium for every driver .....buy EV.......what the fish😮 He mentioned lower manufacturing cost, where did the saving goes?....not the consumer of courses.....nh
The total opposite is the classic Volkswagen beetle. Easy to spoil. Easy to fix. You can change one fender without replacing the entire car. Doors are modular. Whole body damage, just swap in another donor body. Rebuild this, rebuild that, runs forever. The number of classic beetles still running in Singapore speaks volumes of the repairability.

ua-cam.com/video/j1bQbA3EOKw/v-deo.html - Tesla Gigacastings // Crashworthiness and Repairability. I think EVs are more likely to face this situation, but it's not just an EV issue. Mechanically speaking, most cars are going to be written off in a medium to high-speed crash, as they're designed to crumple to protect the driver/passenger inside the cabin. @sgcarmart might want to clarify their message; there are so many more engineering and design factors involved. I think generalizing it is not the right call.
If you buy a car, worrying you will get into a bad accident, don't drive. It's this type of drivers who make the road unsafe, because they are so anxious on the roads and get triggered so easily they rage.
I hear you. Really do. They tend to drive too conservatively and slow down traffic behind them. They act surprised when I overtake them like I offended them. No man, you're driving 70 with 5 car spaces when everyone else is going 80.
any chassis replacement = scrape. what has this got to do with EV? even if ICE cars need to replace chassis in an accident...also, not all EV cars are built using 1 piece concept

Good knowledge for those who are no aware and happily jump into getting a EV…
Very informative video!!
It's a wake up call for EVs. Many are unaware of the cons. As salesperson and media only talks abt the pros

Insurance premiums will go up?
Regulations have to keep up with market developments. Allow chassis repair within reason!

Does insurance cover the market value of the EV that has to be scrapped ? If yes, why would this be a problem ?

imagine dismantling your gundam model just to replace 1 part. you'll have to then go thru hoops to find a matching piece. how cheap can it get

Hi Mattheus, great info.....any idea on the byd or mg build?
Wake up wake up, finally someone steps up to explain the pricy problem of EV.

I have seen a lot of ioniq 5 involved in accidents recently....
proof? next time take some pics to substantiate your statement.. talk is cheap or free

Does it make sense to buy ICE now considering we are so close to 2030?
Feel free to buy, only 2030 onwards no new registration of ICE
Yes, the 2030 ev only policy will u-turn
It's already happening overseas. Insurance will simply total the car
So glad to be driving ICE because wrecking my car costs me nothing

Lta is busy with 3 piece erp 2.0 and simplygo, pls dont bother them on all these that dont make money… 3 piece value buy erp2, n it is free

? They’re car accidents. Generally people don’t plan on getting into them.

Tesla car owners just got musked !!

nah...u want them to be effing populist?
The only thing how about hydro - electric? @sgcarmartreviews
that's only ever used in a dam... unless you are referring to those ferry with paddle wheels?
