Hi, yes this net zero thing is ideological nonsense being pushed by the UN under the banner of a 'climate crisis'. Its a painfull 'solution' to a non existent problem.
Would be nice if you could turn an EV into a hybrid using a portable generator as an aftermarket addon. But AFAIK, no EV is designed for that and the heavy computerization would prevent easy conversions.
@ The other reason you wouldn't do it is twofold, first you've spent a shitload on a very large battery you don't need in the hybrid and second the very large battery is already very heavy and adding a generator is going to make that worse. Easier to go ICE to hybrid than EV to hybrid
We've achieved net zero carbon too. It's NET zero, not gross. NET. We could declare net zero today while increasing carbon output. We just need to play with the numbers and buy "carbon credits" to cover the load. Net zero is an accounting trick, not a serious policy. It's a way to make the socialists happy without immediately collapsing the economy. That's the whole game.
@@annother3350, there was a bloke here in Australia who set his farm up as a carbon sink, or whatever they want to call it. He planted trees everywhere on it, read used them to sell carbon credits to factories. Several years later, he sold the farm, and the new owner ploughed in all the trees and now runs sheep, cattle and cropping. Just a feel good exercise, as the carbon sink no longer exists.
😂😂😂😂 As a mechanic, the stories I heard about the failure rates of the EVs at Hertz being astronomical have been swirling so long now I just take it at face value.
What's not to love about EV's in the UK, expensive to buy, putting our factories out of business, losing jobs, huge depreciation (if you can sell them), limited range, no road tax incentives, nowhere to charge, expensive to insure now (if you can get it) fire risk etc etc etc etc The really sad thing is they aren't saving the world are they?? and we all know it, yet our politicians plod on with their disastrous policies.
And there is the big Chinese EV scam. We read stories about the many different EVs in China and how cheap they are but when they arrive in the UK market pressures and greed take over and prices are hiked. I recently read a story about a new affordable Chinese EV brand that will become available in the UK next month so I had a look - starting price £35k. How does a car costing £7k in China end up priced at £35k in the UK.
It's because it's not about the climate it's about reducing the 70% of car owners to 30% car owners it's about restricted movement, 30 minute city's, agenda 2030, and the great reset, and so much more.
Not too sure about the 5%; t's a lot less than that. Huge international money-laundering scam (the biggest in modern history) around the bullshit that is man-made global warming.
The depreciation of the Porsche EVs is staggering. The fact that governments have to bribe people with other people’s tax money to pay for EV subsidies tells you it’s a failure. This isn’t a free and sustainable market.
@@pauldiesel4582 ask mguy about depreciation on a Maserati…..this is where the M comes from….they take the cake bar NONE when it comes to depreciation….
@ sorry but don’t own an oil deposit and a refinery? I fail to see why you think you have control over over your own energy needs? You may think you do but you have just been conditioned
25:38 Same insanity in Australia: We export our coal, of which we have 650 years supply, to China and India to burn for their cheap and reliable electricity but deny ourselves that benefit. We have the world’s largest supply of Uranium but we export that for an increasing number of other countries to use in their nuclear reactors but deny ourselves the benefit of reliable, 24/7, clean energy. We have enormous supplies of LNG but are in a situation where we have to import LNG ! Soon Australia will have the most expensive, most unreliable electricity in the world. It's the most egregious act of national self-harm I have ever witnessed.
Is nuclear power clean? Doesn’t it produce toxic waste? I read somewhere that if the drive for clean burn engines had continued we would be in a far better situation. It would be nice to have some unbiased truth on the subject, wouldn’t it? Cheers.
Hold up there my friend. California is way ahead of you. We are forcing our refineries to close. Have enormous oil reserves we cannot pump. Are down to 1 Nuclear power plant they are about to close and it produces about 25% of the power in the state. Can only buy gas from Japan and south Korea. Have punished people who get solar on their roofs. Are outlawing the use of natural gas. Made it illegal to burn wood when it is cold in the cities. Are tearing down hydroelectric dams. Are forcing everyone to only buy electric cars by '35 with aggressive adoption rate rules until then. So no gas, no natural gas, no electricity, no heat, no cooking, no ice cars, no ability to charge electric cars...
@@siberman2535 Nuclear waste isn't just tossed into a local creek, it's buried, ideally out in the middle of nowhere and there's plenty of remote and tectonically stable desert in Australia perfect for doing that. By the way, the really nasty stuff, the high level waste, all of the worlds reactors combined make approximately 4 cubic metres of that per year.
@gelf1907 Woah ! Yes, you indeed win !! However, I think our government here can rapidly catch up if Australians are stupid enough to re-elect the same idiots again this year.
Also it is suspected that car companies like Ford are raising the prices of their gasoline powered vehicles to subsidize the massive losses they are racking up on their BEV operations.
When was the last time we saw gov bribing people? Four years ago? How is it going for those that won a life of diseases caused by the subject of the bribing. People will never learn.
Exactly. These contraptions came to Brazil (from the Red Dragon). We are priced out of owning an ICE already. If our gov goes the way Europe/Australia went, no car will be the end result... save for the rich.
It's about You having a car that can be remotely disabled if you're a naughty boy, in any way. Been on a protest march? That's your EV disabled for a month.
I am 64. I can reliably predict that the chance of me ever owning an EV is close to zero. I live in Pretoria, there are zero Percent EVs in South Africa.
In a video Germans were driving with an EV through SA. However it wasn‘t easy, not recommended for an inexperienced 64 year old. But if you know where you could reliably charge and when, it is always possible to drive an EV.
@gerbre1 There is no charging network. Touring through SA in an EV would force you to slow trickle charge off household sockets at max 6kw. A Long Range Tesla model 3 has a 75 kwh battery. So to fill up from 20% is a 10 hour mission. You then have 400 km range....if you're lucky. There is also no maintainence network. It's a silly thing to do, regardless of age.
And let's not forget the load shedding situation in SA. You really must be hard of thinking to consider an EV in South Africa. My wife is from Pretoria and her father and brother still live there.
@@nickgood8166 Not a charging network, but there are a few fast chargers. I've seen them in the video. One fast charger was standing quite isolated at a road crossing. There was only a small restaurant 200m nearby and the owner didn't even know that charger exists. Another charger was located in the parking garage of a supermarket in the big city. They had problems with broken chargers and with the planned power outages. As they travelled through the country, they stayed in different lodgings and tried to charge at the power outlet overnight. The EV allows to set the maximum power, so the outlet didn't get toasted. But you are right, it's an adventure to drive in SA.
@user-qq2mo1ek2r The only reason to do it is for shits and giggles or to make a silly video. You'd have to pre arrange places to stay to let you charge off their sockets. It would be a huge embuggerance. Forget the 620 km Pretoria to Durban in a day or the 1,500 km Pretoria to Cape Town in 1 or 2 days. I can model this in my head in 5 seconds without watching a video. We haven't had load shedding for a few months. But the generating capacity under the kleptocratic governance of SA, is still compromised.
And chief among climate grifters are Kerry and Gore and the UN bloke who claims the planet is boiling due to slightly milder overnight low temperatures which nobody notices.
@@foppo100 Goodness, gracious, not again! No politician cares - their crocodile tears are there for the votes from people with poor analytical skills. Every bit of carbon emission saved is immediately produced in China, the US and India to produce the "green technology" with significantly more pollution than it will ever save. Remember "useful idiots" are a key requirement for autocratic governments to achieve their goals abroad.
Brit here, our mad and stupid government intends to fine motor manufacturers £15000 per ICE(internal combustion engine) car produced in an attempt to make us buy EV's! All it will do, is drive the car manufacturers out of the UK. EV's are NOT green and certainly not the answer. Far too expensive, to buy, to insure, to repair and with massive depreciation. Its a fools world.
In the words of heir Klaus and old sausage fingers who are the govt puppet-masters over at WEF : you will own nothing, you will go nowhere and be happy in your 15 minute city slave camp gulags.
But won't they also add that 15000 gbp as an additional tariff to future imports of diesel/gasoline vehicles, so it won't matter if it is made there or not?

@@stizzygrayson5541 Nope: Reuters:EU car sales at 3-year low in August, EV sales plunge 44%..qhubo: Recent reports indicate a dramatic 50% decline in electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle sales in mainland China…BNN.. Electric Vehicle Sales Have Stumbled etc etc etc
EV sales are rising in China because Chinese customers no longer have a choice. And any negative press about EV's is suppressed by the CCP. But what little does make it out is alarming!
Just watched China Observer detailing the collapse of Chinese manufacturers and Dealers closing even with massive discounts they can't sell them. You need to update your info mate.
You are talking about a population well over 1 billion who in the majority have never owned a car before so easily convinced. The rest of us who have know that like the first phase of electric cars in the early 20th century they were a failure too because petrol and diesel were much more convenient and you could carry around spare fuel.
I find it so ironic that the data suggesting EV sales are rising chooses hybrids as part of the equation on the side of EVs. Why does this same data not include hybrids as petrol vehicles, I wonder?
If it is to boost sales figures, hybrids are EVs. However, when it comes to issues, hybrids suddenly become ICEs. Just another way EVangelists attempt to skew the figures.
@@RobertRobert-d2r because hybrids for a lot of people are a transition from the car their driving now to eventually an ev next time. The slowdown in EVs is attributed to charging infrastructure. You don’t need much but we need a lot more than what we have. Tesla is still the only viable ev for this reason imo
I thought about it 2 yrs ago, then worked out they wouldn't do what I needed (carrying an electric wheelchair 1,500 km) in a reliable fashion. I got an old low km ICE. now 2 yrs on, the more I learn about EVs the happier I am with the decision.
1500Km! That's about 50% further than Lands End to John o Groats. Where is this 1500Km journey from and to and how often do you drive that sat in your ELECTRIC wheelchair in your ICE car? Where are you 'learning' about EV's? If you are learning about EV's on UA-cam channels like this, then you are being extremely misinformed. Learn from actual experienced EV owners or channels like Fully Charged, not from the anti-EV brigade who don't know the first thing about what EV ownership is actually like.
I like how UA-cam put adverts for EV vehicles such as Polestar in your post. It reminds me never to buy one after my neighbours experience over the last 2 years!
@actualfacts1055 Correct. But pls remember that Tony Abbott went back on Union Agreements to assist GM to keep jobs for Australians which turned the scales and the Americans closed GM Operations and Manufacturing in Australia.
They did subsidize LPG pretty heavily at one point, I don't even remember why. Gov gave me 2 grand straight up to fit an LPG system on my first car Ford Falcon, which honestly to this day is brilliant as my local servo is still under a dollar for a liter of LPG. I run that way more than the petrol system which is still on the car (duel fuel).
They want you to do it from home but most live in flats in the uk. the whole cost of charging points is not viable and a massive drain on the power grid .😂

And areas of our country here in America we're hitting temps around zero degrees. It is hilarious to watch people trying to keep a charge or get very far. The maxed out charging stations are slow as holy heck. I can see the frustration on people's faces as we drive by a charging center and they're waiting in line. That sounds like a fun way to spend the winter.
I'm not particularly for or against EVs, but a guy in work had a electric BMW iX and its done 70,000 miles. I was surprised at just that fact, at least they work. It was 100k new and he's px for £50k after 2 years. Ouch
@ Yes, the reality of EV's (unlike the rubbish spread by this channel and the raving nutters it attracts) is rather harder to to ignore when you speak to people that own them. Yes, they work!
LA in America had, had the most EV charging stations. Before LA burned down. If that is not saying, don't buy an EV. Nothing will. The greenest city in America went up in smoke. That's not green. That added how much CO gas into the atmosphere. Good job, LA, for setting a very good example for being green. Try brown. That color works for you better.
The problem with big cities in CA, which drags the only state along for the ride, is their vote blue no matter who mentality. I don't doubt Kamala can win for goverrnor there.
Remember all the consultants, government project planning, bonuses to the "CEOs" that has been done in order to make 1 charger. Same as in Norway when the government subsidized a battery factory, but not 1 was made.
Talking of wind turbines, ive just had a look out to sea, and the turbines are stationary, we still have heavy cloud, so cant see much from solar panels, and all we see in papers is that you can be fined for using a fireplace, tv ads are all about heatpumps that are a joke. The State of The UK
I've just bought a Toyota Hybrid and the fuel efficiency is unbelievable if driven as intended - oh, and in the UK it has a 10 year comprehensive warranty provided the car is serviced annually or at 10,000 miles at a Toyota dealership. By no means the fastest or most luxurious but it gets my family and me to wherever we need to go with huge amounts of safety features including park assist, brake assist, adaptive cruise control, bird's eye view when parking and even exit assist.
Our local Maccy D's has four chargers, never seen a car in the bays, ever. No wonder charger companies are going bust. Our busy local Tesco/Esso station still has NO CHARGERS but is buzzing with ICE cars most of the day and their fuel is not the cheapest.
Fast food restaurant here in my part of Germany have these four charger setups, too; I very very rarely see _one_ of the chargers used, most of the time they're just a waste of space and resources. Even the chargers on gas stations right next to Autobahn exits are very rarely in use.
I live close to a city that has 300,000 people. There is a store that has possibly five of these EV charging stations. The charging stations have been in place for several months I finally saw two or three cars one of the cars may have just been parked in that slot but at least two of them were charging this is the first time. That I have seen cars charging. This was on a Saturday morning. We go to the store every Saturday morning
ours has two. i saw a queue the other day. and some very irate drivers... had a blackout for the last three days... those solar panels on grid tied inverters rendered useless... and with the local service stations AND maccas all running on backup generators... NO CHARGE FOR YOU!
Notice that most of the time the chargers are in prime parking spaces too. Put them at the back of the lot where those of us who drive larger pickups park.
I'm guessing it's only the working people that get charged the £411 luxury car tax over 4 years not anyone in the royal family if they buy a car for £40k or above.
The way the UK is going, owning a car at all in 2030 will be a luxury. When they have driven us off the roads and back onto public transport, where do you think they will raise the billions in tax they used to get from the roads?
And most people just can't afford one. I'm deciding whether I repair my 2008 diesel, or buy newer second hand replacement. There is no way that I can afford an new electric car without going into debt, and I classify myself as reasonably financially secure! 😮
In countries where a certain kind of people reside they can't have them because they rip them up and the cable and sell for scrap, those people are here in the UK now as well so it might be a bit difficult.
There needs to be an offence of criminal embezzlement of public money. Until individuals are held accountable the Milliband mindset is free to waste billions.

EV-angelists need something to do whilst charging and queuing for a charger - so they come to the comments section to pass the time and try to tell people they didn’t make a mistake! Some are fortunate enough to have a drive where they can charge at home, and for those people I can see how an EV can work, but for the majority who do not, the charging economics alone (that’s before we consider depreciation) make little sense.
I used to work in a UK government department, the issue of Chinese devices listening in to conversations in Chinese made cars was such of a threat that certain models were returned to the lease agencies along with a list of devices that were identified as containing hardware that could possibly used foe espionage

For me, the biggest barrier to buying any sort of EV is that they are not MAKING the sort of car that I would buy, and that (I believe) a LOT of people also want. Small, cheap, diesel plug-in hybrid, with about 60-80km range on the battery, without the pointless and expensive "driver assist" tech. I don't need lots of fancy crap, no "entertainment system" is needed, just a bluetooth to my phone, amp and speakers - it's a CAR, not a f'ing opera house. $20-25K, they would sell like lamb chops just before Australia Day.
Yep. That is the EV I want. Basic stereo, physical knobs and buttons, manual windows and door locks. $10,000 Canadian out the door. Sadly that will never happen.
Several of my friends are selling their EVs due to depreciation and the end of tax breaks. They bought them through their companies to rinse the tax breaks, but it’s now crippling their companies! They hated the range anxiety and driving experience but did it just for the massive unsustainable tax breaks.
The uk govt, ie taxpayers, are funding £billions in subsidies to private operators in the following categories. Airsourced heat pumps. Home charging points. EV vehicles. EV/Hybrid buses. Wind and solar installation. Business car chargers. Private car park charging. Expanding grid infrastructure. Subsidy, subsidy, subsidy. All to the private sector! A massive swindle that is on the backs of taxpayers as the funding for all of it is borrowed from the same sharks. It has the highest energy costs in europe!
I would not buy any car that is stopped from starting (that I dont need or want) if I had not updated an item that is not needed, such as a GPS, internet, maybe an unpaid bill for say, my apartment, or whatever.

Wake up to the fact that 90% of our fuel is imported from Asia. Just wait for the next supply chain disruption and see who runs out of energy first. My EV is powered from energy manufactured by Australians in Australia unlike the energy for your ICE vehicle.
only pensioners will get them to run to the shop in larger cities one in my street but they retired to an old peoples place so i dont know if there would be a charging place there
Let people decide what powetrain they want in their cars, just like you choose colour, interior... I dislike that my hard earned salary and tax goes to EV insentives. If you want an EV pay for it fully including chargingpoints! Full STOP.
One EV charging station for 6 to 8 cars needs 5000kg of copper. To make over 8000 stations (like petrol stations) need 40 000 000 tons copper . Good luck with that .
Exactly, a minor accident to bodywork will keep you off the road because of parts availability. This is very important, even if you have to resort to second-hand parts to keep on the road. No such luck with an EV.
🇬🇧Here, to charge your EV at home and before you even turn a wheel, you must pay a 24% RENEWABLES TAX and then 5% VAT (Forced on us when in the EU) to the Government for the Electricity you need. In April you will now pay the annual Road Tax too just like ICE vehicles, well who'd have ever imagined that?
In uk when you buy a new car for £40k or above, you are charged an extra £411 a year for the first 4 years, thats as well as your road tax, it's called luxury car tax
@@momentarylapsofreason try again. No one has paid road tax since It was abolished in 1937. It is VED and "You’ll pay a rate based on a vehicle’s CO2 emissions the first time it’s registered." www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables it is a tax on pollutants.
The reduction in public charger targets is simply down to them costing a fortune in getting planning, installation, running and with no guarantee of the electric supply . Also I have noticed following a number of channels with EV owners etc, when it comes to charging they don't get anything it claims for charging p/kWh like stated on their apps etc. The cost like charging to get a 180 miles, costs £50, thats shocking (mind the pun)!
The BT plan wouldn’t work anyway. The green cabinets are always at the back of a path so charging cables would have to drape across the path to charge a car. 🤦♂️
Many of the companies with EV's stacking up on their lots have offered them with cut-rate lease deals just to move them into the 'sold' category. 'Look how many we sold'!! But even at MSRP every company (except for Tesla) lose tens or hundreds of thousands of $$$ and when the leases are up...the residual value is going to be double or triple what the car is actually worth so they're just kicking the financial loss can down the road. Ford EV division was bragging that they sold more MachE's than ICE Mustangs....but failed to mention that the Mustangs were all sold at MSRP or over while virtually all MachE's were leased at dirt cheap rates making their actual losses even more extreme. Hoping that the incoming Trump Administration puts a stop to this EV madness.
Will affect all modern cars, not just EV's. I wish they would stop cramming cars full of useless technology. I have no need of a screen in my car and would really appreciate the return of wind up windows and push button radios.
We here in the US know about this. 'We' allocated and 'spent' 8 Billion $s for EV charging stations with a net result of 7 or 8 total. 'We' also allocated and 'spent' 48 Billion $s to get internet out to all the rural areas with 'NO' progress in that agenda at all.
Not only do collectors keep Porches, in the USA a well maintained 20+ year old pickup truck is worthy - nice older trucks appreciate in value - a new 1/2 ton basic model with few options can cost $60,000. A clean 1996 Silverado is a nice find. Jeep XJ Cherokees are popular for their simple durable drivetrain and huge aftermarket. A school teacher, accountant or pharmacist who isn't all that mechanically skilled can fashion themselves as a decent wrench turner on these popular oldies. If the very nice 25 year old $8,000 XJ seems pricey in 2025 - just wait. Wait until you can buy almost every part reproduced for them like you can with 1970s GM Squarebody trucks.

High-priced junk will also be high-priced junk. To many issues, to long to get fixed, blazing, and lack of infrastructure. Range issues. Customer service issues. Insurance issues.
I don't think that. My daughter's got a macan GTS. Just because of the body style doesn't make it any less of a performance car. It's a massive drop from that to an EV. Anyway she's got a family so she gets the best of both worlds.
Another issue BT would have run into when converting broadband cabinets to chargers is that the cabinets are not on the road side of the pavements. They would need to put a post on the road side and pass a cable to it underneath the pavement, but there is already a project to put chargers in lamp posts, which does not have that problem to deal with.
You could imagine driving on a motorway and slagging off the chinesse government. The steering wheel, then suddenly the car wheels turn towards the central reservation. Its curtains. What do they put on the death certificate.
Install as many EV chargers as you want, but it will not persuade most of us to buy EVs. At Falkirk railway station late last year I counted over 30 chargers, 4 of which were in use, all by Falkirk Council vehicles. Total and criminal waste of money.
Why don't the car makers admit that fewer people want electric. A friend has an EV and loves it but I can't get one as I don't have anywhere to charge.😮

It's because it's not about the climate it's about reducing the 70% of car owners to 30% car owners it's about restricted movement, 30 minute city's, agenda 2030, and the great reset, and so much more.
I feel sorry for you, to be ignorant is one thing but to proudly parade the fact on a public forum is just sad.
The best way to save the world (if you think it needs saving) is not to buy a new car.

EVs are a political choice not a choice of the public. Net-Zero is 5% environment and 95% redirecting public funds into certain peoples pockets.
You absolutely NAILED it..!
Absolutely!!
Not too sure about the 5%; t's a lot less than that. Huge international money-laundering scam (the biggest in modern history) around the bullshit that is man-made global warming.

The depreciation of the Porsche EVs is staggering. The fact that governments have to bribe people with other people’s tax money to pay for EV subsidies tells you it’s a failure. This isn’t a free and sustainable market.
Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head.

Yes, ask the Mac Master 😂
25:38 Same insanity in Australia: We export our coal, of which we have 650 years supply, to China and India to burn for their cheap and reliable electricity but deny ourselves that benefit. We have the world’s largest supply of Uranium but we export that for an increasing number of other countries to use in their nuclear reactors but deny ourselves the benefit of reliable, 24/7, clean energy. We have enormous supplies of LNG but are in a situation where we have to import LNG ! Soon Australia will have the most expensive, most unreliable electricity in the world. It's the most egregious act of national self-harm I have ever witnessed.
Is nuclear power clean? Doesn’t it produce toxic waste?
I read somewhere that if the drive for clean burn engines had continued we would be in a far better situation.
It would be nice to have some unbiased truth on the subject, wouldn’t it?
Cheers.
Kazakstan got way more yellow cake than you crappy break dancers 've got mate.
Hold up there my friend. California is way ahead of you. We are forcing our refineries to close. Have enormous oil reserves we cannot pump. Are down to 1 Nuclear power plant they are about to close and it produces about 25% of the power in the state. Can only buy gas from Japan and south Korea. Have punished people who get solar on their roofs. Are outlawing the use of natural gas. Made it illegal to burn wood when it is cold in the cities. Are tearing down hydroelectric dams. Are forcing everyone to only buy electric cars by '35 with aggressive adoption rate rules until then. So no gas, no natural gas, no electricity, no heat, no cooking, no ice cars, no ability to charge electric cars...
@@siberman2535 Nuclear waste isn't just tossed into a local creek, it's buried, ideally out in the middle of nowhere and there's plenty of remote and tectonically stable desert in Australia perfect for doing that. By the way, the really nasty stuff, the high level waste, all of the worlds reactors combined make approximately 4 cubic metres of that per year.
@gelf1907 Woah ! Yes, you indeed win !! However, I think our government here can rapidly catch up if Australians are stupid enough to re-elect the same idiots again this year.
"petrol car price went up..." yes because of stupid gov taxes and fines, not because they suddenly got really expensive.
Also it is suspected that car companies like Ford are raising the prices of their gasoline powered vehicles to subsidize the massive losses they are racking up on their BEV operations.
And ridiculous endless wars and despair created by the same moronic zealots pushing electric lies.

It’s terrible, governmental decisions are supposed to be made on facts and practicality.
Its not about going electric its about YOU not having a car
Exactly. These contraptions came to Brazil (from the Red Dragon). We are priced out of owning an ICE already. If our gov goes the way Europe/Australia went, no car will be the end result... save for the rich.
Correct, if only more people realised it.
You are not supposed to know that.
It's about You having a car that can be remotely disabled if you're a naughty boy, in any way. Been on a protest march? That's your EV disabled for a month.
I'd like to see moves to phase out "private jets" and "yachts longer than 100ft" but...never happen.
I am 64. I can reliably predict that the chance of me ever owning an EV is close to zero.
I live in Pretoria, there are zero Percent EVs in South Africa.
In a video Germans were driving with an EV through SA. However it wasn‘t easy, not recommended for an inexperienced 64 year old. But if you know where you could reliably charge and when, it is always possible to drive an EV.
@gerbre1 There is no charging network. Touring through SA in an EV would force you to slow trickle charge off household sockets at max 6kw. A Long Range Tesla model 3 has a 75 kwh battery. So to fill up from 20% is a 10 hour mission. You then have 400 km range....if you're lucky.
There is also no maintainence network.
It's a silly thing to do, regardless of age.
And let's not forget the load shedding situation in SA. You really must be hard of thinking to consider an EV in South Africa. My wife is from Pretoria and her father and brother still live there.
@@nickgood8166 Not a charging network, but there are a few fast chargers. I've seen them in the video. One fast charger was standing quite isolated at a road crossing. There was only a small restaurant 200m nearby and the owner didn't even know that charger exists. Another charger was located in the parking garage of a supermarket in the big city. They had problems with broken chargers and with the planned power outages. As they travelled through the country, they stayed in different lodgings and tried to charge at the power outlet overnight. The EV allows to set the maximum power, so the outlet didn't get toasted. But you are right, it's an adventure to drive in SA.
@user-qq2mo1ek2r The only reason to do it is for shits and giggles or to make a silly video. You'd have to pre arrange places to stay to let you charge off their sockets. It would be a huge embuggerance. Forget the 620 km Pretoria to Durban in a day or the 1,500 km Pretoria to Cape Town in 1 or 2 days.
I can model this in my head in 5 seconds without watching a video.
We haven't had load shedding for a few months. But the generating capacity under the kleptocratic governance of SA, is still compromised.
EVs are a poor solution to a problem that doesn't exist. That's called a GRIFT.
And chief among climate grifters are Kerry and Gore and the UN bloke who claims the planet is boiling due to slightly milder overnight low temperatures which nobody notices.

Yes, I suspect CCP thinks it can show the west just how brilliant they are. But facts are facts - EVs not a long term solution.

they can't sell them. You need to update your info mate.
EVs in china is perfect. Tyrannical control.
Chinese car build quality is diabolical. EV"s catch fire on a daily basis.
You are talking about a population well over 1 billion who in the majority have never owned a car before so easily convinced. The rest of us who have know that like the first phase of electric cars in the early 20th century they were a failure too because petrol and diesel were much more convenient and you could carry around spare fuel.
I find it so ironic that the data suggesting EV sales are rising chooses hybrids as part of the equation on the side of EVs. Why does this same data not include hybrids as petrol vehicles, I wonder?
Yeh. More accurate OUTLOOK is to 'split' the Hybrid % with ICE and EV.
ElectriC Viking said the same thing in his video today hahaha
@Epic3032 Electric Viking is always manipulating info haha. I swear he is paid by BYD or CCP.
If it is to boost sales figures, hybrids are EVs. However, when it comes to issues, hybrids suddenly become ICEs. Just another way EVangelists attempt to skew the figures.
@@RobertRobert-d2r because hybrids for a lot of people are a transition from the car their driving now to eventually an ev next time. The slowdown in EVs is attributed to charging infrastructure. You don’t need much but we need a lot more than what we have. Tesla is still the only viable ev for this reason imo
I thought about it 2 yrs ago, then worked out they wouldn't do what I needed (carrying an electric wheelchair 1,500 km) in a reliable fashion. I got an old low km ICE. now 2 yrs on, the more I learn about EVs the happier I am with the decision.
With the batteries under the floor you're not going to get low enough access for a wheelchair
1500Km! That's about 50% further than Lands End to John o Groats. Where is this 1500Km journey from and to and how often do you drive that sat in your ELECTRIC wheelchair in your ICE car? Where are you 'learning' about EV's? If you are learning about EV's on UA-cam channels like this, then you are being extremely misinformed. Learn from actual experienced EV owners or channels like Fully Charged, not from the anti-EV brigade who don't know the first thing about what EV ownership is actually like.
@@Rexbilly9819 perhaps you should read people's user names
Yeah, EV sales are high in China where they burn coal to create cheap Electricity
Also where they government can just order you to buy a battery car.
You hit the nail on its head. The Chinese sell us "green products" made in such a polluting way that they are the opposite of "net zero".
They also have plenty of nuclear power stations too and many more planned.
@ China also dumps nuclear waste in the ocean too, much more convenient for them.
It is more basic than that. China is Communist. If they want electric cars, electric cars are what will be made.
I like how UA-cam put adverts for EV vehicles such as Polestar in your post. It reminds me never to buy one after my neighbours experience over the last 2 years!
Mac master was also told not to charge by his house cos of fire hazard and is banned from taking a ferry 😂😂😂
The Government never subsidized petrol cars and petrol stations, they put big taxes on petrol though.

Correct. But pls remember that Tony Abbott went back on Union Agreements to assist GM to keep jobs for Australians which turned the scales and the Americans closed GM Operations and Manufacturing in Australia.
They did subsidize LPG pretty heavily at one point, I don't even remember why.

I've just bought a Toyota Hybrid and the fuel efficiency is unbelievable if driven as intended - oh, and in the UK it has a 10 year comprehensive warranty provided the car is serviced annually or at 10,000 miles at a Toyota dealership. By no means the fastest or most luxurious but it gets my family and me to wherever we need to go with huge amounts of safety features including park assist, brake assist, adaptive cruise control, bird's eye view when parking and even exit assist.
Our local Maccy D's has four chargers, never seen a car in the bays, ever. No wonder charger companies are going bust. Our busy local Tesco/Esso station still has NO CHARGERS but is buzzing with ICE cars most of the day and their fuel is not the cheapest.
Fast food restaurant here in my part of Germany have these four charger setups, too; I very very rarely see _one_ of the chargers used, most of the time they're just a waste of space and resources. Even the chargers on gas stations right next to Autobahn exits are very rarely in use.
I live close to a city that has 300,000 people. There is a store that has possibly five of these EV charging stations. The charging stations have been in place for several months I finally saw two or three cars one of the cars may have just been parked in that slot but at least two of them were charging this is the first time. That I have seen cars charging. This was on a Saturday morning. We go to the store every Saturday morning
ours has two. i saw a queue the other day. and some very irate drivers...
had a blackout for the last three days... those solar panels on grid tied inverters rendered useless... and with the local service stations AND maccas all running on backup generators... NO CHARGE FOR YOU!
How can you have fast food restaurants with ev chargers?
Notice that most of the time the chargers are in prime parking spaces too. Put them at the back of the lot where those of us who drive larger pickups park.
In uk, when you buy a car for £40k or above, you get charged £411 a year for 4 years, its called luxury car tax.
I'm guessing it's only the working people that get charged the £411 luxury car tax over 4 years not anyone in the royal family if they buy a car for £40k or above.
The way the UK is going, owning a car at all in 2030 will be a luxury. When they have driven us off the roads and back onto public transport, where do you think they will raise the billions in tax they used to get from the roads?

Good point ! and if you bought one you'd have to spend hours on YT telling everyone how happy you are, and telling them they're all mad for not buying one: and don't believe all the critics cos the critics all make stuff up... and...and ...and
EV-angelists need something to do whilst charging and queuing for a charger - so they come to the comments section to pass the time and try to tell people they didn’t make a mistake! Some are fortunate enough to have a drive where they can charge at home, and for those people I can see how an EV can work, but for the majority who do not, the charging economics alone (that’s before we consider depreciation) make little sense.
I used to work in a UK government department, the issue of Chinese devices listening in to conversations in Chinese made cars was such of a threat that certain models were returned to the lease agencies along with a list of devices that were identified as containing hardware that could possibly used foe espionage
There's still a lot of Huawei stuff in the uk telecoms infrastructure which they have been swapping out for the same reason. The trouble is Huawei is far superior technically and cheaper than the other products!
Better the Chinese security services listening than the British ones.
That's frightening.
It's been going on for years.
All they’d hear me doing is moaning about this shitty government we have.
"The rate of growth slowed amid delays to government funding." That really sums up the viability of most EV plans. They are only viable when heavily subsidized by free government (taxpayer) money.

The data privacy issue is not just EVs. Read up on the recent GM ruling.
For me, the biggest barrier to buying any sort of EV is that they are not MAKING the sort of car that I would buy, and that (I believe) a LOT of people also want. Small, cheap, diesel plug-in hybrid, with about 60-80km range on the battery, without the pointless and expensive "driver assist" tech. I don't need lots of fancy crap, no "entertainment system" is needed, just a bluetooth to my phone, amp and speakers - it's a CAR, not a f'ing opera house. $20-25K, they would sell like lamb chops just before Australia Day.
Yep. That is the EV I want. Basic stereo, physical knobs and buttons, manual windows and door locks. $10,000 Canadian out the door. Sadly that will never happen.

Home charging points.
EV vehicles.
EV/Hybrid buses.
Wind and solar installation.
Business car chargers.
Private car park charging.
Expanding grid infrastructure.
Subsidy, subsidy, subsidy. All to the private sector! A massive swindle that is on the backs of taxpayers as the funding for all of it is borrowed from the same sharks. It has the highest energy costs in europe!
While people are losing their pensions.
Thanks Simon as always a real good insight of what is Really going on...
I would not buy any car that is stopped from starting (that I dont need or want) if I had not updated an item that is not needed, such as a GPS, internet, maybe an unpaid bill for say, my apartment, or whatever.
That is a truly dystopian net zero ( N zero brains that politicians have) have determined we must somehow comply!
three days of clackout didnt help, but just recently i finally clicked "upgrade OS" on my PC... big mistake! spent two days figuring out why the wifi was connecting but not having teh desired result... ie, internet.
now ive gone back to what i had, im not falling for that trick again!
lol, my phone keeps beeping at me forlornly, expecting me to update apps... ha! the first thing i do is remove as many as possible!
I’m glad Australia is waking up 😂
Are they really though?
Nope. They need the money for the-next-best-thing.
Its still run by communists unfortunately
Wake up to the fact that 90% of our fuel is imported from Asia. Just wait for the next supply chain disruption and see who runs out of energy first. My EV is powered from energy manufactured by Australians in Australia unlike the energy for your ICE vehicle.
only pensioners will get them to run to the shop in larger cities one in my street but they retired to an old peoples place so i dont know if there would be a charging place there
Let people decide what powetrain they want in their cars, just like you choose colour, interior... I dislike that my hard earned salary and tax goes to EV insentives. If you want an EV pay for it fully including chargingpoints! Full STOP.
One EV charging station for 6 to 8 cars needs 5000kg of copper. To make over 8000 stations (like petrol stations) need 40 000 000 tons copper . Good luck with that .
I'd be worried about servicing and spares with the Chinese cars given the geopolitical tensions.
I was in an uber, it was a new Chinese vehicle the A/C was down. The owner informed me it was a failed compressor. replacement ETA three months 👌
And who in their right mind would buy a used Chinese car? Their prices will deflate quicker than a male stripper's penis during a police raid.
Exactly, a minor accident to bodywork will keep you off the road because of parts availability. This is very important, even if you have to resort to second-hand parts to keep on the road. No such luck with an EV.
Here in Brazil, BYD cars are built by ssslllllllaaaaaavvvvvves. LITERALLY. Brazilian and Red dragon commie govs.
🇬🇧Here, to charge your EV at home and before you even turn a wheel, you must pay a 24% RENEWABLES TAX and then 5% VAT (Forced on us when in the EU) to the Government for the Electricity you need. In April you will now pay the annual Road Tax too just like ICE vehicles, well who'd have ever imagined that?
In uk when you buy a new car for £40k or above, you are charged an extra £411 a year for the first 4 years, thats as well as your road tax, it's called luxury car tax
Wait until the government looks at replacing revenue from diesel and petrol sales.
And thats before they finally bring in extra taxes for charging so they can recope lost fuel duty revenue.... It is hilarious...
@@momentarylapsofreason try again. No one has paid road tax since It was abolished in 1937. It is VED and "You’ll pay a rate based on a vehicle’s CO2 emissions the first time it’s registered." www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables it is a tax on pollutants.
The reduction in public charger targets is simply down to them costing a fortune in getting planning, installation, running and with no guarantee of the electric supply . Also I have noticed following a number of channels with EV owners etc, when it comes to charging they don't get anything it claims for charging p/kWh like stated on their apps etc. The cost like charging to get a 180 miles, costs £50, thats shocking (mind the pun)!
If that is true , £50 would buy be enough diesel for 350 + miles.
Depends on where you plug in.
The BT plan wouldn’t work anyway. The green cabinets are always at the back of a path so charging cables would have to drape across the path to charge a car. 🤦♂️
EVs are exploding across the world! 😃🔥
You mean EV _sales,_ right?
Right?!?
🤣
Literally.
Many of the companies with EV's stacking up on their lots have offered them with cut-rate lease deals just to move them into the 'sold' category. 'Look how many we sold'!! But even at MSRP every company (except for Tesla) lose tens or hundreds of thousands of $$$ and when the leases are up...the residual value is going to be double or triple what the car is actually worth so they're just kicking the financial loss can down the road.
Ford EV division was bragging that they sold more MachE's than ICE Mustangs....but failed to mention that the Mustangs were all sold at MSRP or over while virtually all MachE's were leased at dirt cheap rates making their actual losses even more extreme. Hoping that the incoming Trump Administration puts a stop to this EV madness.
Imagine when an enemy uses an emp in the future.
Yep, our dumb asses haven't even thought of that.
Will affect all modern cars, not just EV's. I wish they would stop cramming cars full of useless technology. I have no need of a screen in my car and would really appreciate the return of wind up windows and push button radios.
You spelled the government wrong.
Cars with carburetors and manual gear boxes will very desirable .
There is no electric in ICEs, go to the kindergarden again.
A grain harvester machine uses 700 liters of diesel fuel per day. No fuel means no food!
We here in the US know about this.
'We' allocated and 'spent' 8 Billion $s for EV charging stations with a net result of 7 or 8 total.
'We' also allocated and 'spent' 48 Billion $s to get internet out to all the rural areas with 'NO' progress in that agenda at all.
Burning bus : that ain't No diesel fire cloud, mate...
Not only do collectors keep Porches, in the USA a well maintained 20+ year old pickup truck is worthy - nice older trucks appreciate in value - a new 1/2 ton basic model with few options can cost $60,000. A clean 1996 Silverado is a nice find. Jeep XJ Cherokees are popular for their simple durable drivetrain and huge aftermarket. A school teacher, accountant or pharmacist who isn't all that mechanically skilled can fashion themselves as a decent wrench turner on these popular oldies. If the very nice 25 year old $8,000 XJ seems pricey in 2025 - just wait. Wait until you can buy almost every part reproduced for them like you can with 1970s GM Squarebody trucks.
@@timothykeith1367 they are looking at implementing a law here in the uk that will make it illegal to produce parts for older cars... Electric cars dont work on this tiny island, how the hell are they meant to work in the states.
Interest halves and what can those who already own them expect? Lots of depreciation! Well they didn't listen! Just following government orders! They haven't learned, following government orders can seriously damage your health and wealth!
Albo's incompetent, but Dutton isn't the solution either. Two sides of the same coin.
Australia's political choices are absolute garbage.
Renewables should have been named correctly, "Disposables" more like..!
The porsche thing is funny.. As though vw group hasn't enough problems.......
High-priced junk will also be high-priced junk. To many issues, to long to get fixed, blazing, and lack of infrastructure. Range issues. Customer service issues. Insurance issues.
Porsche lost their soul when they started making SUVs and 4dr cars. It's not much of a drop from there to go electric.
I don't think that. My daughter's got a macan GTS. Just because of the body style doesn't make it any less of a performance car. It's a massive drop from that to an EV. Anyway she's got a family so she gets the best of both worlds.
Here in the USA, Trump is going to cancel these idiotic EV mandates. One of several reasons more people voted for him.
There's no spare power for them. We barely have enough as it is.
Another issue BT would have run into when converting broadband cabinets to chargers is that the cabinets are not on the road side of the pavements. They would need to put a post on the road side and pass a cable to it underneath the pavement, but there is already a project to put chargers in lamp posts, which does not have that problem to deal with.
They’re currently also getting shot of the diesel fleet in Openreach and replacing them with EVs.
Dangle a carrot on the end of a stick to keep the donkey moving forward😂
I’d rather ride a donkey than drive an EV to be fair. Chuck in a bag of carrots and I’m sold.
Electric buses or hydrogen busses have the batteries or tanks on the top of the bus to give time for passengers to get off.
Some do. The UK EV buses have the batteries built into the chassis.
@MGUY The drop in CO2 in that graph isn't random, it's part of 'The Little Ice Age'.
The notion the UK could have any effect on climate, even if CO2 actually was a cause, is ludicrous.
Thankyou for the update.
Here in Sweden propane buses have their propane on the roof .
Doesn't sound very clever...
You could imagine driving on a motorway and slagging off the chinesse government. The steering wheel, then suddenly the car wheels turn towards the central reservation. Its curtains. What do they put on the death certificate.
Nipped out for a Chinese?
Yellow fever.
Worst case of climate change?
Far right extremism.
@ Too bad for your narrative the Socialists are always worse, about 150,000,000 killed in the last 110 years.
Thanks
Many electric buses have batteries mounted on their roof.
This is because it's easier to retrofit existing diesel buses with roof-mounted batteries.
Install as many EV chargers as you want, but it will not persuade most of us to buy EVs. At Falkirk railway station late last year I counted over 30 chargers, 4 of which were in use, all by Falkirk Council vehicles. Total and criminal waste of money.
Total corruption.
@@JimSmith-d9t
MacMaster says that the chargers are always busy.
Is he lying?
Why don't the car makers admit that fewer people want electric. A friend has an EV and loves it but I can't get one as I don't have anywhere to charge.😮
They will love their EV until they don't.
