EVs are here to stay. On the airfield.
The new form of 'hangar queens'.
All these surveys are bullshit, I had a run in with an electric vehicle evangelist who told me that I'm a liar a survey conducted says that the average daily commute is 7 miles, my daily commute is 60 miles or at least according to the mileometer on my 13 year old diesel car, electric vehicles are accurate to the millimetre whereas my diesel with 160,000 miles on the clock (which is only used to get back and forth to work, I do my shopping on route home), has been lying to me for the past 12 years and 5 months, I have brought this up with the dealership where I purchased the car 🤣 These cars are unaffordable, unless that is, you want to sign on the dotted line and pay on the never never with sky high interest, I just observe, I walk everywhere on my days off, there's quite a few charge points in the town, only 2 are actually connected to the grid and so I'm informed, only one of them is in working order, situated in a car park where the barrier doesn't lift until you take a ticket and you're charged for the minimum parking time even if you don't charge your car and have to drive back out, the car park closes at night, and again, I'm informed that it's one of the most expensive chargers.
I've been told that I'm a liar when I say that I work nights because electric vehicles are designed for the wealthy who don't work nights, well, no one works nights, it's just dark when I go to work and the clock reads 22:00 or 10pm, (my clocks must be wrong too), I'm also one of the many who live in the centre of town and have to park my car wherever I find a parking space (again I'm a liar, everyone has access to off road parking, home charging and can charge on cheap rate electric in the middle of the night when they are sleeping), I was even told by one UA-camr electric vehicle evangelist to "move" as obviously I can afford to just up and move, I'd get a mortgage at my age with no credit history, (my house is my own, it required a lot of work and I bought it outright with redundancy money and worked on it when I had the money to pay for what I needed, no loans, no credit card, just plain and simple cash, pound notes), for so many of us, electric vehicles are way too expensive, even when you take into account the depreciation, the infrastructure isn't there yet in many places, not everyone uses credit cards or technical phones, I don't have either (again I've been told I'm a liar), I don't like debt, my phone may be nearer to 30 years old but it still makes phone calls and I only need to charge it once or twice a week depending on the usage, when buying electric vehicles, it's not just the vehicle you need to think about buying, it's the phone, the credit card (however they work), and any other hidden costs, plus in many cases, parking charges and the likes, electric vehicles are designed specifically for the younger, wealthier people rather than the working class scum such as myself and the majority of the people

Norway gets the money to buy EV from selling oil and gas to other countries....
It’s shocking levels of hypocrisy.
Yes countries that have their own oil, but prefer to buy it
EV are now a fixture in our society now, not moving just parked out of public view because they are not being sold
The global pro EV propaganda campaign is VERY reminiscent of last year's "Joe Biden is The Best he's ever been: he's sharp as a tack - at The Top of his Game!"
They could tell me everyone in the world has an EV except me, and I still wouldn't want one. People will eventually realise how much money their EV has lost them.
92% of EV drivers can't afford to go back to a real car on account of having lost all their money on an EV with no resale value.
The Norwegians also have a lot of hydroelectric.
Yep that could be right
And every household has left an ICE vehicle to use in winter .
Charging at home is not as cheap as they say, here in France our electricity bill has just gone up 35% thanks to tax, the company i work for offers FREE charging for anyone with an EV, when the chargers are offline its chaos, when they are working its bedlam, staff are coming in hours before their shift just to get a charging point before everyone else, what i see everyday is that EV's seem to bring out the worst in people.
What you must realise about Norway is that the state owned oil and gas companies are state owned, ie by the people, so subsequently each year each Norweigan citizens gets a nice cheque from the government (state) as the profits are shared out and not put in the back pockets of politicians !
All the best to you Barrie.
Sounds like hard work
@@BarrieCrampton I'll be keeping my Nissan Qashqai petrol for many years to come ! none of this EV sh*te for me.....

@@BarrieCrampton” The first casualty of war is truth”. I doubt that there’s any way to really find out.
I’m advised to look at the official data.
My problem is that I no longer trust officials to tell the truth.
Sorry, but that’s a natural reaction once you realise you’ve been lied to up the wazoo for years, about pretty much everything.

UK energy and green policies are an absolute joke.
The total share of battery cars in Norway are currently at 25%, and the number of cars sold dropped a lot in 2024 compared to earlier years. Huge government tax breaks, lots of freebies and relatively cheap electricity combined with the possibility to charge at home have made battery cars attractive in Norway. Would I buy one, no way. Greetings from Norway.
Did you mean “25% of the national fleet is an EV” or “25% of new cars sold last year were EVs”?
@@GT380man 25% of the total numbers of cars. Battery cars had an annual market share of about 92% in 2024. The total car sales dropped a lot last year.

😂
😂 it still makes me smile and indeed chuckle when I’m out driving and you know an EV is inferior to an ICE car in but the lie has been sold to the masses and many actually believed it they bought one. It’s exactly like Covid masks. Humans hey……
These are both part of the thicket of lies, and from the same perpetrators.
Oh and Norway wants to pull the plug on supplying electric to the UK
I suspect a lot of it depends on where you live. If there are plenty of charging points, you have a driveway, and solar panels, it's a no-brainer. If you live in a terrace with on street parking only, street chargers that deliver about 1.4kW and you have to visit a fast charge station frequently, not a good idea. Most people are not electrical engineers and didn't understand that.
Back in the 2000s boom, a lot of people bought narrowboats. They seemed to imagine they were a kind of water caravan. A lot of them lost a lot of money then, too, along with the people who bought RVs. We had an office near a place that sold them, and they were sitting in the yard in some cases for years with the asking price slowly dropping. The yard wasn't run by idiots; they didn't buy them in, they hired out a yard space to the owners. Falling prices didn't worry them.
There's lots of status obsessed mugs.
And who can afford one. Most people can't.
ive just done a survey, 100% of petrol drivers will never buy a EV, only 1 person surveyed though
For the algorithm.
Keep it up Barrie.
Cheers
The world is getting colder and governments want us driving EVs… 🤦♂️
Batteries tend to not work in extreme cold.
I know lots of people with BEVs and the ones that have changed always go BEV on the subsequent ones so I am surprised so many are discontent.
More likely dealers flipping stock.
I think the issue is BEV repeaters already knew the best use cases, have home charging and rarely need more expensive network charging.
The difficulty is persuading people like me. 80 mile daily commute (Superb diesel 64 mpg), need to tow a 1500kg caravan (I am not planning to get 1.3-1.6 miles/kW and recharge every 100 miles when towing until I retire and can make a day of the journey).
France was a big EV market, tesla sales are down 63% and as I predicted they are using musks antics as an excuse for the sales drop off 👌😅
Tesla sales collapsed long before Elon's interesting wave at a Trump event.
@matthewgodwin3050 I know this, you know this but people who only see propaganda articles about how everyone and their dog is only buying EVs now know this 😅
EV drivers are like the new IPhone addicts whohave to get 0:30 the new one at 12*01 am. Because it’s the newest and therefore I’m better than you. They’re just saddo’s really.
Yep
Hi Barry What I noticed was that the mileage on many of those cars was quite high for the age of the car . If they were mainly charging at public charging stations , that would represent a lot of time hanging around for the car to charge. Basically sat twiddling your thumbs , so I was just wondering whether that aspect alone is part of the problem . 👍
My prediction: EV sales will almost go down to zero, once.... E-Fuels take over and start using the existing ICE infrastructure...
Yes that would happen
@@JasonKing-m6m I like the idea but not sure if these alternatives fuels will ever happen.
Either way, battery cars are not the answer, other than as a short range city car
Great common sense channel Barrie, glad you dropped the Straight out of Crampton intro
line, NTEN is much better 😂
That BEVA survey of 92% is one they did of their ev club members. It's not to confirm with quick internet search. It's like a football fan club surveying their own club members, and saying that 92% of football fans like their team.
Surveys nowdays are just made to order. That said, I kinda wish we'd stop focusing on weither or not EVs are gaining or losing and more on weither or not they should even exist.
The calculations according to which EVs are cleaner than XYZ usually do lifecycles of 150.000km and 10/15 years and most of the EV's supply chain is cut out, as it's "unknown".
All those calculations also either use the electricity mix or a optimistic estimate for it, but ignore the fact that any additional consumption would be going to coal/gas/nuklear plants.
Also, blades from Wind Turbines AFAIK don't get reclycled or only turned into filler material but you know, calculating this other than as a "zero" would hurt the narrative.
I noticed a new advert on tv for a hyundy somethingy i cant spell. where you dont own it. ever. a pcp deal that lasted 3 years. you pay about £15k. then hand it back. 8k miles per year with a fine for over mileage. so essentially. you rent a car for 3 years. you dont own it. must never break it. must never drive it far. then give it up. with no incentive to trade it in. so you can just go off and buy anything else without telling any dealer what you buy next. which cancels out any incentive to continue with an EV and you can go back to ICE. hybrid , deisel or anything else. . is that good.. or bad...?
It would be interesting to investigate do these. Car. Wow Sellers ever sell ??. How much have they lost in the short ownership time . How do they propose to settle the Outstanding Finance / Leasing Deals the cars are on.
Who buys used EVs?
1. "Influencers"
2. Dealers when they're forced on trade.
3. Wannabe influencers
Before signing it in the dealer would probably ask last resort:
"Don't you have a rusty 1980's Corolla or the shell of a old VW or something I can get rid of instead of that model 3?"
The domino effect will wreck the EV agenda. If there are fewer EV's on the road, or even if EV's are developed with a longer range, it will reduce the calculated revenue for the companies that set up the charging stations. They invested heavily. If they are running on borrowed money, or some stations are rarely used, they will have to start closing them down. This then leaves EV owners searching around for somewhere to charge, and means more EV owners using fewer chargers. That means long queues. Long journeys will become very difficult.
This will mean more EV owners switching back to ICE, and again, fewer chargers. The depreciation will get even worse than it is now, and new EV sales will plummet. This will be a death spiral.
Ev'ils really are miserably crap... had a drive of my neighbours ev car the other day and he says it's crap also; that's 2 of us to add to a honest survey...

If we all drove an EV could our Electric grid cope? - I heard we had a close "lights out" grid outage?
They say it could, but not sure I believe it
Yes. 8th January. We had an unexplained area wide power outage on 2nd January. Energy supplier claimed they didn't know the cause.
BYD sales are flying, check "new car registrations UK" BEVs are up generally
Yep they put it in a percentage which is another way of saying they sold even fewer last year 🤣
@@Andy-e8n7gno cancellation of the fuel duty freeze
And have you not seen the new car market is declining? People are keeping their ice cars, or buying second hand.

Lol!
Current keeper says it all.
Yes massive con on sales. Figures
Reeves, mention in a BBC interview that they have sustainable aviation fuel. Can this be adapted for vehicles.
They only have enough to fly one plane.
No it is a synthetic fuel made by consuming a lot of energy. While it can be used in theory, it will be mind bogglingly expensive and need a lot of energy to produce it. So it isn't practical.
In the UK you can claim 100% of your tax allowances in the first year against EV running costs. This is not the case for ice cars.
So, while businesses see it as a no brainer for writing tax off then EVs will proliferate. The inconvenience is on the driver and not the business.
Does make me wonder how deep the public purse is and how the monies will be recouped by the government?
Depreciation will exceed tax savings
Blimey Barrie low and behold anyone who upsets you …. Long live V8 etc ….. 😊
Absolutely,
But Barrie, whilst I personally wouldn't want one even if you paid me, I opened the newspaper and it was all roses. Record levels of EV and apparently no intervention needed.
yep no interference at all
Just watched Amandaland on bbc1. Taking the mick out of EVs throughout.
Yeah and we all know why ! 🤣EV carnage did a great vid on Cheap Second Hand EVs (sub £2k)
Only 40miles on a full charge ???
.. Technology, its the future.. 🔮
EVs will never go away, they will sit in a boneyard being homes for scorpions in Arkansas
The country's heavy reliance on oil for energy production contradicts its EV success story... Is that EV utopia?
If you just ask people who have never owned a car before, you might get these results.
Hate a brilliant response toward the end Barry. Bet he’s crying into his Tesla pillow right about now 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks 👍
Ive just seen your mate Colin having is now already saying that this year 23% is actually 28% 🤦
he winds me up im afraid
Surprised you havent commented on the January new sales figures?
Yes petrol and diesel are down and ev's up BUT strange that OVERALL the new car market is -2.5% ie all vehicles.
Something strange in the figures seems to me all those petrol and diesel drivers are not buying ev's??
Yep. Petrol accounted for slightly over 50% of all registrations and BEV slightly over 20% of all registrations.
Dealers registering all the ev shit they couldn't move in 2024 no doubt. After a period of time they'll bite the bullet and register it and take the L...
@@Andy-e8n7g I didn't post that wrong person.
However I've had a thought about that. Yes they might be pre registering 2024 cars in early 2025 to avoid them selling old cars after the March new reg date? Pity we don't know what models have been registered in January as there may be a facelift or a new replacement model coming out so they wouldn't be able to sell the old model on the latest reg?? Just my theory why there has been an unusual sale of ANY type cars in the usually quiet month of January?
Keep an eye on autotrader for a SURGE of used pre reg cars lol
411 nearly new ev's prereg in January on autotrader. Quite a few Dacia Springs as well. I thought they would be flying off the shelves?? lol
@@Andy-e8n7g The amount is not the point it's the fact that in just a few weeks of the new year we have vastly discounted new ev's already on the market. I'm not arguing about ev's as I'm never likely to own one and have only ever had one new car in my life and I'm 77 now.
No it's the way that the cars are recorded and percentages mean nothing although they can look good.
Lets have real figures of cars actually taxed and on the road not this "registration" which only records cars that have been issued with a number.
Yes I've no doubt there are plenty of pre reg cars of all types. I just want to illustrate that most people just look at the ev figures and tend to ignore what is happening in the full picture. It's the stats I'm interested in not whether one is better than the other.

What film shall we watch tonight? Gaslighting?
January sales figures are out, diesel down 7.7%, petrol down 15.3%, EV up 41.6%. We'll see what happens in March when the serious sales start with the new reg.
And private buyers?????
Yep. Petrol sales accounted for just over 50% of registrations and BEV accounted for just over 20% in January. Still don’t understand why BEV’s aren’t outselling petrol. I mean they are so good, the future, cheaper to run, blah, blah 😂😂😂
Dealers panic registering unsold ev stock no doubt. Who in right mind would buy an EV from new privately?
@FirstLast-rh9jw Dealers would not be pre registering in January. Maybe at the end of the quarter or year end to get to the government figures.
@@Andy-e8n7g I understand that this year’s target is 28%?
GEVA = EV propaganda.
They can’t afford to go back.
Norway has a population of 5.5 million people. It ranks 15th in oil production globally but second only to Russia in Europe. (The UK ranks 28th globally.) The Norwegian oil and gas industry has been state owned since the creation of Statoil in 1972. Statoil controls investment in infrastructure (pipelines, oil rigs, etc.) and therefore owns the equipment used to extract and distribute oil and gas and exacts rent from private operators.
A total of eight Norwegian pipelines run directly from the North Sea to Great Britain (plus an interconnector that delivers gas via Zeebrugge.) The _Norpipe_ oil pipeline runs straight from four oil rigs smack in the middle of the North Sea to the Teesside Oil and Gas Terminal on the outskirts of Middlesbrough, as does the _Cats_ gas pipeline which originates halfway between Scotland and Norway. The _Langeled_ gas pipeline runs to Easington Gas Terminal near Hull, whilst a further five gas pipelines terminate at either St. Fergus or Cruden Bay in Scotland.
The Norwegian state derived an income of $64 billion in 2024, a substantial decline from 2023's $92 billion due to a steep fall in the price of LNG, which had been artificially inflated due to the political instability over Russian gas supplies to Europe following the invasion of Ukraine. The revenue is deposited into the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG), which is then invested in foreign financial markets.
In part, the revenues from fossil fuel extraction and export have been used to drive EV ownership. In 2023, 80% of new vehicle registrations were BEVs, by far the highest percentage in the world. Apart from investing heavily in public charging infrastructure, EVs are VAT exempted, are charged a discounted company car tax, pay half-price ferry and road tolls, pay reduced parking fees, are allowed to use bus lanes in Oslo. (It should also be pointed out that Norway does not use its oil and gas to generate electricity, 89% of which is generated by hydropower and 9% by wind.)
In short, incentivizing EV ownership is a doddle when your country has seven times the revenue from oil and gas that the UK has but only has the population of Scotland.
