🚨 Are EV owners giving up on their electric cars too soon?
🔧 First Breakdown and It's Over! Why EV Owners Are Sending Their Cars to Junkyards! Watch it now here! ua-cam.com/video/KtveAm1Y7Z8/v-deo.html
everything we have been told is a Lie ? There is less than 20% of technicians that can work on Them ? They are Chemically More dangerous than 100 Gas Vehicles Cost Double The Price they will never save what you pay extra ? No where To legally expose Of The Rare Earth Minerals .
Nobody wants to address the dark side of ICE vehicles. But we have to....
How do EV car deaths compare with Piston car deaths?
Too soon?!? Not soon enough. What a drain, manufacture and purchace are subsidized with our tax money. Why do we have to pay for fools choices. There is no renewable energy, not yet & these trophy cars wont last long enough to use energy that doesnt exist. Not to mention the children working at the mines to provide some raw material for the heavy non-renewable battery!
@@aubreydebliquy8051 big hole,,, little hole,,,,, dead ia dead.
One EV fire is ten times the environmental disaster as a burning gasoline car.
I suspect its worse. I would love to see an actual study on this though just to see.
I understand that the temperature reaches 2,000°C which is sufficient to melt concrete.
@@tigerphid9677 but there are 100 times more gasoline fires than EV fires.
@@franklintseng3595 But if taken in proportion, there are many millions more ICE cars in operation than EVs.
Finally, someone says it.
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!
When the battery blows up under you while you are driving,,,you will lose all power and have to kick out a window to escape.
Ya missed one.
@@lynnmacleod5005 No, there is a way to open the doors if power goes out.
@@KomarBrolan ya,,,tell that to the guy that had to kick his window out ,,,,he said he lost all power,,,so you secondary power to run small things goes when you have thermal runaway on your main battery
@@lynnmacleod5005 I can’t help if an idiot doesn’t know his car. Try reading the fricken manual.
They are taking the credits away now and they pay tax by mileage. Instead of fuel tax. And they pay tax on the electricity they use as well especially when they pay more to use a super charger. And also owners of house solar panels will be charged for any excess power that goes back into the grid. It's all about control over people by BLACKROCK then WEF then the Social Elite then the Governments control over the commoners.
The people who built these electric vehicles knew all these problems during the planning and building of such vehicles. They also knew, as even I knew, that battery technology was nowhere near ready to propel these heavy vehicles for satisfactory distances. They also knew that the electricity grid, which supplies energy to millions of homes and many factories, would never be able to handle the load of charging these ineffective and very dangerous, toxic battery run EVs. Add to that the lunacy of removing effective energy supplies such as oil, gas, coal and nuclear and replace them with ineffective windmill and solar panel "farms" and we have a perfect storm of damage by the Green Believers.
SDG7, rhymes with WTC7.
Not to mention .. none of this crap is really recyclable. What little is cost 10x as much to recycle.. I will keep my old pre 2008 cars and motorcycles they are much greener to simply fix as necessary. My 1987 Jeep runs great and will for another 37 years.
Kudos: So concise and straight to the heart of the matter. You said it all. Go public.
They might have made oversized ASSUMPTIONS. That's giving them the BENEFIT of the DOUBT. But, you're right. They should have KNOWN! Elon Musk is an Engineer. He should have known!
People in Bio-Chemistry know that you don't mix Amonia with Sodium Chloride. Toxic gases are produced. So, you inform lay people on warning labels.
To the Green Planet Groupees: Do you still think that Elon Musk is an extra-terristial from Mars with extra-ordinary superpowers come to save humanity?
Sorry, he's just a man, fallible as anyone else.
Got to do it now!
It won't work..

DON'T TELL THEM !!!!!
Another thing people aren't talking about is, what happens to the waste batteries ?
They get recycled.
@@Miner-dyne how so?
@@Miner-dyneVolume recycling is currently experimental. The different materials require different chemistry to extract - acids and so forth. When a recycler focuses on recovering lithium they could only recover 15 pounds of that. It's likely that tax payers subsidies will be required.
There are valuable materials in solar panels but most of those go to a landfill. Elon Musk has said 100 square miles of solar panels could supply power for the entire U.S. That's potentially 100 sq miles of solar panels into landfills.
@@Miner-dyne so we collect loads of dodgy material in to a huge pile and ......................
did you see the battery-recycling plant go up near glasgow uk a little while back ?? relatively small operation that burnt for THREE DAYS while the fire guys looked on.
EV's obviously aren't about greener energy or safety for the public.
Obviously arn"t ... about green or savety says who.... not fond of words PUT in my mouth..
@@uckedinhats So no one is allowed to voice an opinion?
No one's putting words in anyones mouth, that is pure nonsense.
It's about freedom of movement.
Oh, you don't like what your government is doing and want to move to the capital city, oh sorry no charging for you...
You haven't paid your taxes, oh sry your car doesn't want to start...
And that's only the things I can think of by seconds.
But most impressive, is a fact I read some days ago from a Florida man - when hurricanes are coming and you can't get out of state without charging - food luck finding a working supercharger not occupied by a bunch of others...
@@uckedinhats Who put words in your mouth? Lmfao.
@@Ullion404 Yeah, they've already passed legislation about putting kill switches in new cars by, I think, 2026.
They could shut off or hack your car for whatever reason they deemed fit.
Really frustrating when a solution is being pushed that is supposed to solve a nonexistent problem that ends up being worse than what it's replacing. Rather than doing the common sense thing and stopping, they double down and push twice as hard.
They don't want the slaves to own cars at all. It's about preserving resources for the 'elites'.
It's on purpose. They know they're shite but this is the intermediate step between being able to travel and not being able to travel so it's important to sell it as "progress".

Minning lithium is far worse than extracting oil from the ground.
Many of these deaths are among the most painful and terrifying imaginable. And you forgot to mention that people can’t even get out of their cars when the electric system is compromised.
Signs going up at parking garages. NO EV PARKING!
Also not allowed on sea ferries.
@@ldewproductions7271Insurance. You can't spit without it. Because of the hazard of fire, insurance companies are not going to cover them. Used ones will sink to worthless. Battery life. There are a whole lot of things standing in the way of these things being main stream. I'm watching E-bikes. Storage will be the problem.
@@ldewproductions7271 If that were true, how did they get here from China?
@@user-ho4nw5sf3w There is a low income apartment complex in my town where there was an e-bike fire. Totally destroyed the interior of the owner's apt. I spoke to the owner of that e-bike and he told me that he had the bike for over 2 years without any problems. He bought another e-bike from Amazon. I guess he isn't worried about the hazards of keeping this thing inside his apartment. He has been moved to a different complex until the housing authority fixes up his burnt out unit.
Are there? Those parking garages were built long before EV's. So those garages have weight limits, I'm sure. They were not built to accommodate all that extra weight.
Mining lithium is the worst for our environment. Especially lithium fires
But we ask China to do the mining for our cars, so it‘s okay. /s
@@rcchin7897 disgusting
Worse on environment... child slave labor.... mining destroys soil....etc...
Worse on the environment for the first 45K miles. After that its better than an ICE vehicle and 95% of cars get past that. Also ICE vehicles also need mining ressources that come from child labour and that destroys soil, which doesnt make the EV better obviously but it is just the same thing…
No real arguments here
So there is a report of an electric scooter being charged in an apartment in San Francisco battery exploding, and the whole apartment is completely gone!!😢😮😮
It happens a lot, Litium batteries can combust if they're being used, being charged, or just sat doing nothing.
It's thermodynamically unstable.
@@markfield3013 yeah , but don't mention these dangers to EVangelists
Many stories like that. The girl whose scooter that was also died in that fire.
A large proportion of e-scooters are of cheap construction with poor battery management systems. People charging the things inside their homes doesn't help either.
Mentioning e-scooter fires as an example of why EVs are dangerous is like saying that because a high number of owner built aircraft flown by inexperienced pilots are involved in crashes it is a reason not to fly in a commercial airliner.
Yes a house fire on the news here last week was caused by one being inside the home charging.
Couldn’t give me one
100% agree. It might take Insurance companies to snap the world out of this BS we're all being forced towards.

Or Westminster they are ALL corrupt global puppets
Who the hell in their right mind,would want to own one of these utterly lunatic vehicles?
Way back in the early 1900's,electric vehicles appeared,but eventually faded away as they proved impractical in the long term. I'm convinced that in the long term,the current craze for EV's will go the same route,for precisely the same reasons.
I hope you’re correct. The climate change lunatics here in California are hell bent on shutting everything done for EVs. What a mess it will be, before it fails and the oil companies will have already left
@adienowed I think EVs will remain popular for high-income persons who are "tethered" and can charge mostly at home. If subsidies and tax credits are ended maybe only Tesla and some Chinese EV companies will survive.
@@timothykeith1367 I think you're right,but for Mr Average,they're one hell of a liability.
Unless the Watermelons win and EV mandates aren't struck down by the courts.
If the only vehicles available are EVs, we will be in even worse shape.
They tried them again in the 50s and only lasted a few years for the same reasons ,when will people learn that anything with a battery is a throw away item if they wern,t subsidized they would be gone already, no country has the power grids available to charge thousands of these things and they are completely impractical for anyone who dosn,t have off street parking
I remember our professor demonstrating Lithium. He sett a glass upside down at the table on a fire resistant plate. Put a wee piece of metallic Lithium on it. Covered with the glass. He set on teaching about electrons . Suddenly a blinding light appeared at the table. The Lithium blazed of its own.
There's enough water in the air to make Lithium combust.
Lithium batteries are thermodynamically unstable, even when they're sat doing nothing they can combust, or while charging, or while being used.
Ticking time bombs.
@@user-ze7vb5cx3ywow. Scary 😣
What about when you have a crash and loose power and you can't get out as the door locks are electric!!!!! Doh!
@@BrainfromSpain no difference from gas cars these days. All manufactured the same way.
This is foolish, don't get in a car you don't know how to get out of, I always tell my passengers how to open the door if the battery fails, it is easy, just a manual latch.
@@BrainfromSpain
Why would the doors only be able to open electronically ? ? Are there no inside door latches, just asking here.
This is false. Which means you, and 61 other people, are not smart enough to own electric vehicle.
Gas cars use batteries to operate their door locks too, duhh. There are manual openers because ev's are very well designed.
I call these EV's a Soccer Mom Time Bomb...
Soccer Mom Time Bomb sounds like a hit for SUM 41.
eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww sheeeet. see that bus go up in paris a few years back ?? lucky as f it was parked at the time. or it coulda been a major barbie
mineral mining, manufacture, disposal are not at all environmentally friendly.
An independent study was done, and with the production of an EV, they figured that you need to drive it 112,000 miles to break even with the carbon footprint of a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord.
IIRC 112000miles for a ICE car. An ev has a MUCH larger production carbon footprint near the 450 000miles mark. Which most batteries won't last until.
I just LOVE my 1998 Toyota Camry. Paid $2,500. for it and gets almost 35 MPG. I average around 7K miles per year. An electric vehicle (any new vehicle) if I were to purchase one, well, I'd be long dead before it's footprint would be negated.
@@marcpavlik my wife has a 2000 Celica GTS, gets about 30 mpg and runs great.

EVs are less eco friendly than racing cars.
Why? Tell me. Give me some points. A proof.
An iPad is great. We have had several over several years. They do not last forever. They need frequent updating software and after a few short years become unsupported. They are fragile, need a leather case to protect it from bumps and screen can be cracked. Battery degrades and requires increasing recharging. Ok, there are repair kits online to mend own iPad but obviously require skill training and not just home hobby skills, so, repair shop, only. A black screen syndrome? No cure. Yes, that happens without warning. Trip to repair shop for overnight queue. “Oh, we cannot repair your iPad. We can charge $35 for our service and you collect it, or you can leave it with us for recycling free of charge.” Same answer from Apple, “Oh you can post that old model to us for recycling but there is no refund against a new purchase.”
I love my iPad(s), use it every day, and will buy another if necessary.
But, but, but, an iPad on wheels? To be scrapped every 5 years for the same reasons?
Mobile scrap.
Absolutely never.
iPads have also burned down homes due to their batteries catching fire, as do phones!
@@TwoBassed Exactly.
My wife is using two of my old iPads every day for years now and will not buy a new one so she will go off the grid……
@@TwoBassedwhat! Not my iPad. 😣 what about laptops?
@@LCLand - If it has an internal lithium ion battery it can catch fire if battery becomes faulty or if damaged!
My sister was just behind a Tesla that got into an accident. It burned to the ground.
It's amazing that they kept rolling them off the production line before the demand really took off. Now they're stuck with thousands that nobody wants. I know of an empty shopping mall where dealers are storing hundreds of them because they have no more room on their lots.
What a capital overhead
What company and what dealers? Tesla does not have dealers so if true it must be some crap vehicles made by traditional ICE manufacturers. They want the public to hate EV's so never buy their crap.
@@WayneBain Half of the population live outside of urban areas. EVs are worthless outside urban areas.
The real story in that is the reason shopping malls are mostly all closed.
@@WayneBain
The mall is located in Chesterfield, Mo. It is all but empty and the last of what businesses are left there will be all gone by August this year. One whole parking lot was packed with EVs that were allowed to be stored there because dealers in the metro area had no more room on their lots. I do not recall which dealerships the local news reported the EVs came from. But I do know the story is true because I've seen the hundreds of them parked there in rows, on the V-Stock side of the mall.
BTW....the EVs are Tesla's and are from a Tesla dealer in the valley that has no more room on their lot. That dealership does have a sales lot overflowed with these EVs that are just not selling.
ADAS is absolutely worthless in environments that have freezing rain, snow, ice. Freezing rain covers the sensors, snow and ice obscures the optical sensors, and means that no amount of braking power will help you, as you skid into an barrier.
worthless anyway. didn't help luke in his x-wing did it? doesn't help me on the road. this is my safety.👉
I work in fleet and it barely works right here in florida. None of these fancy novelties work properly for long
I live in Northwestern Montana in the winter these advanced features are worthless you constantly get a “ is disabled because are blocked“ - the worst part is you’re driving along and suddenly this message pops up taking your attention away from the road - even systems that rely on cameras only fail to work in the winter here
@@ragtowneyou neglected to mention the summer months problems BUGS, I drove OTR for a refrigerated carrier based in Fargo and I live in the PNW, Montana is our main east-west corridor, it didn't take long for the front facing sensor to be blocked by bugs.
@@RiverRatWA57 I live between whitefish and Eureka and the bugs on US 93 in the summer are almost as bad as the snow and ice in the winter as far as blocking sensors and disabling these advanced “features“
EVs at most are a niche market without government subsidies sales will drop dramatically.
Subsidies = Taxes.
I'm glad someone is finally putting some information out about this. I will say though you'll be lucky if they don't pull this video down off of UA-cam
EV's are a weapon, not a vehicle. Part of the "belt and road" initiative...
China has done a great job easily undermining our society thanks to assistance from at least three generations of ill-educated and il-informed people raised mainly by the government and their "education" system.....happy days ahead because these people are now within our political and governmental systems - and the "childcare" system is in full swing producing more brain washed children deserted by negligent "parents". Totalitarians always get the upper hand with lazy foolish youngsters.
..and China is laughing all the way to the bank!
Bullshit.
You make zero sense. They're cars.
@@jamesvandamme7786 And COVID vaccines were just vaccines. It was the mandates that made them a weapon...
I had to take an EV training course. They take everything out within a 50-60 ft radius. If those vehicles had been evs next to the one that lit up in the garage they will chain. 50ft radius can become a 200, 300, ect ft radius fast. Moments beforehand they release toxic gas then a cloudburst like death cloud, then go up like a bonfire
Any vehicle cause a fire. There was a massive fire in a London airport parking garage that destroyed 1300 vehicles. Losers on the internet blamed an EV or a hybrid. It was revealed later to be a diesel, the supposed safest from fire 😂.
@KomarBrolan
Check again flames indicate battery and that was the result I read
@@garreysellars5525 No you check again. And try using an actual news source instead of garbage info on the internet.
The bigger problem is how hot these fires burn. They burn up to 4,500° F, which melts steel. Even if there's concrete the steel rear will fail which endangers parking garages. Which in turn, can lead to structural failure of the parking garage or, more importantly, an apartment complex.
@@kennethboyer2338 Read above, the same thing happened with a fire caused by a diesel vehicle.
I drove a semi for 12yrs, and I'm aware of the extra stopping distance needed for heavier vehicles. Many EV drivers will find out the hard way. Another thing not mentioned is that the heavier weight will damage highways more quickly.
Let's hope and pray EV drivers DO find out how bad the weight is, by educating themselves. You are so correct, the roads will suffer alot now.
Most EVs aren't not all that heavy. The electric SUVs and pickup.trucks are stupid heavy, but most EVs aren't super heavy, weighing 30 percent more than the same size gasoline vehicle.
TOTALLY correct on both points imo
I don't suppose your 18 wheeler has any impact on the roads?
@@lynnewilliams6659 Not if people buy small EVs instead of Hummers and Cybertrucks. Even those weigh less than large trucks.
I find it funny that automated lawnmowers have been around for about 20 years, yet no one seems to want on over manual push mowers. At the same time everyone wants self driving cars, an yet the public road is far more complex than your average lawn.
There are people who are addressing the issue right now. They are the drivers.
Let’s just pray the public can some how force the ev changeover dates to allow hybrids. I’m an engineer. From an engineering standpoint evs are horrific technology. Hybrids on the other hand are outstanding tech. Smaller engine. Recapture the energy of deceleration and going down hills. Smaller safe nimh batteries that don’t rely on environmentally unsustainable lithium batteries. Hopefully our politicians will wake up soon. And best part is hybrids work within existing infrastructure and can be fueled like a normal car.
😂😂😂😂 political people wake up. 😂😂😂😂 they are worse than criminal.
Hybrids are even worse, hydrogen works but there is no lobby for that.
Toyota hopes it's 2027 hybrids will use advanced combustion engines that significantly increase efficiency. The gasoline engines will be smaller and electric motors used to provide oomph so that long distance fuel economy will improve. The only detail provided is the crankshaft stroke will be very short.
@@timothykeith1367 " crankshaft stroke will be very short" suggesting a relatively high-revving engine, which sounds right. flogging an engine to death in a high gear, for example, is not an effficient way to use a piston engine apparently.
Is your degree from Dunning-Kruger University? Most of what you wrote is just plain wrong. NiMH is the past. Hybrids were a good technology in the past but they are too expensive and complicated, the worst of both worlds. Dealers and OEMs like them because they generate service revenue and cost more, and they delay the entrance of good EVs from countries that have their act together.
Our politicians will NOT wake up because they are in the pocket of the oil industry.
And yes, I have an engineering degree from the University of Detroit. It's time to shut down ICE.
Additionally, the extra weight can and will exceed infrastructure like parking garages, bridges, ferries, etc. Fires inside garages are another major concern.
Funny how people are concerned about the weight of EVs but have no concern about heavier SUVs and pickups rumbling around.
EVs are not allowed on ferries, and bridges have weight limits, so in addition to running out of electricity after an hour or two, you will have to make many detours because your car is not allowed on many bridges. Lol.
I'm waiting for the first bridge to collapse during a rush-hour event where every car sitting bumper-to-bumper, is a 10,000 pound EV.
Probably never happen cuz there will never be a time when every car on a bridge is electric, since the adoption rate will never exceed 15% but one can still fantasize.
And imagine the sparks from all that electricity and Lithium hitting the water all at once, when 5000 cars plunge 500 feet into the bay below.
And the height of the splashes from all them cars hitting the water.
Ever see the explosion that occurs when a few thousand tons of Lithium hits the water?
Instant fire that is impervious to water cannons from fire trucks. Water is gasoline to Lithium.
DON'T BUY A STUPID EV.
@@KomarBrolan electric pickups - they are a thing. check it out
@@ronaldwest2264 Don't buy a stupid EV, like the Mazda MX-30 compliance car or the BMW i3. Buy a smart EV, that fits your situation. Enjoy it.
What is the total extra energy required to drag a 1,000 pound battery 100 miles? No-one seems to have addressed this. My intuition is that the EV energy consumption for similar performance measured in (say) Ergs is near 125% to 140% of the energy consumption of a comparable gas-powered car. This extra cost of energy may not become apparent to EV owners for some time because the source of fill-up is quite different, making erg-to-erg comparison problematic. But prices are a function of supply and demand, so which commodity, electricity or gasoline, has more supply flexibility? My money is on gasoline because the infrastructure is very resilient. But in the long run, an Erg-to-Erg comparison will govern the economics of automobile travel. Dragging a 1,000 pound battery around does not make economic sense!
When you add all the start/stop driving in rush hours and road works too, because that won’t stop through a changing to EV’s!
EV - battery plus a couple of motors. Gas powered engine - engine, transmission plus gas tank. Which one do you reckon is dragging around all the weight???
@@Kiwigeo8339 The heavier vehicle. This is indisputably the EV.
An EV has an efficiency of 65%, an ICE vehicle only 30-45% depends on gas or diesel. Thats why EVs are more efficient even tho they are heavier. And the also gain back energy with recuperation instead of just wasting all the energy for braking.
@@heth91 - Who’s figures are you using though, are they coming from the people pushing EV ownership?
They lied about the distance you’ll get from a full charge so can you trust their efficiency information?
As for ‘wasted’ energy from braking, most of my braking ‘energy’ comes from allowing the engine compression to slow the vehicle before I apply pressure to the brake pedal.
Only times I need to apply brake pressure prior to allowing engine compression is with people who brake check, or the idiots who overtake with oncoming traffic and then have to force their way back into line to avoid the head on collision!
EVs are disposable garbagio.
Not really, since you can't actually dispose of them.
EVs are not green unless they are painted green.
This right here.
Because driving around with many gallons of highly flammable liquid is totally safe. Gas cars never burn. 😅😅😅
@@unkaumanguy1439 I'll take flammable liquid over battery fire any day.
I have an old 2007 car with limited electronics compared to today and its great. Things don't go wrong very often and it's cheap to repair and I get a mileage range of about 400 miles still (On motorways/freeway). Don't buy new stuff, it's not built to last and nobody could stop me driving without using physical force... Think about that... My car cannot be shut down... cannot be tracked (easily)... cannot be spied into (easily)... Freedom is a right! Never forget that.
Spot on
I have one of the same year. I get 400 in town and over 700 on the highway. I probably spend between $200 and $300 a year on repairs, some of which virtually every has to have done.
I have a 2002 station sedan and a 1989 4 wheel for my farming activities. The only amount I have spent on them in the last two years - is a new battery each during the winter.
Agreed, I have an 04 daily driver suv, a 74 Galaxie500 for weekends & am fixing up a 73 mustang for car shows.. the Galaxie500 has 61k miles, runs like new, easy maintenance, the suv has 98k miles, looks great, runs like new. EV's are a political poobah. Replcing a battery costs more than all my cars put together, they're environmental hazards, & they'll go up in flames in a moment.
@@eatonbraynz247 It's funny how many people are like us but still buy teslas anyway. I guess it's a fashion thing? I don't know... I feel like EVs should be against the law. They are just too dangerous and not even in a fun way. Where is the music from the engine? no...? just a whine...? 🤮
The biggest fire hazard in my home is smoke detector with a lintheam battery 😱
LOL properly funny boss
In the past while driving I would see a handicap plate or placard, I would give them plenty of room and let them go on down the road usually expecting the "unexpected". With EVs, I do the same and I'll never ever park beside one or even near it. And I will certainly never own one or even ride in one! In the past we had wars which killed off excess population, now we have EVs!
SAME. I never park by an EV!!!
Me too. I avoid going near the charging stations
Was talking to a Dr recently who just bought one. I tried to act excited for him. Inside I was thinking, gee for a Dr I thought you'd have more intelligence...
And we should not forget that the extra electricity needed to power them will come from renewables, and not require lots of new power stations) and the energy transfer to them on the wings of flying pigs, not via a strained grid system
😆
They’ll be plentifully powered by unicorn farts and fairy dust. It’s all good.
Most people charge their EVs at night when the grid is not strained and energy is plentiful.
@@KomarBrolan but the grid will be strained if everyone is charging at night if it goes mostly electric. There will be no ‘off peak’ anymore
@@andywhite3777 The grid is empty at night that’s why it’s the best time to charge your car. It’s also the cheapest as many utilities like mine give a huge discount at night.
Just think when they get the semi or tractor trailer trucks on the highway. Their batteries are three times bigger than car batteries. When it catches fire that's gonna be big fire
trucks will need a trailer just for the duracells. road surfaces will groan and crumble, bridges will need reinforcing etc etc etc
Try finding someone to drive it. Hella no!!!
Government don’t want it to get out
Recently a grandmother was locked out of her EV and her grandchild was stuck inside. It was in Arizona so the weather was very hot.
Why the hell would you leave your grandchildren in Arizona heat?
@@KomarBrolan Because the car failed to open!!!
@marcpavic Uh ? The questioner was asking why the child was in the car without the GP in the first place. Either open both doors then both get in or (when exiting), leave the driver's door open until the child's door can be opened as well. There should never be a situation where the child is behind all locked doors with no adult.
@@quantisedspace7047Maybe the car doors automatically locked?
Any door can jam( lock up for a variety of reasons our daughter was locked in a bathroom when she was only four years old we had to take the door off to get her out . This happened at a baby shower at someone’s someone else’s home! !
The propensity of a battery pack to enter into a thermal runaway event is integral to the battery's design.
Lithium-ion cells, be they lithium-metal-oxide or lithium-iron-phosphate, are thermodynamically unstable as a direct consequence of the chemistry used.
The internal reactions of the cell during operation are exothermic, meaning they release heat alongside electrical energy. So long as the cells' container can dissipate the heat faster than it's generated, the fire risk is contained.
However, the heat is generated exponentially, whereas it is dissipated linearly. There is a point where the two lines meet, and once that happens, thermal runaway cannot be prevented. The cell will burn, it will burn hot, and it will ignite the cells around it.
An internal short in a cell, whether due to a manufacturing defect, damage, aging, or an excessive load, can raise the temperature to the point where it cannot avoid burning. And since it has its own oxygen supply, the process cannot be aborted once it begins.
Thermal runaway is not a bug; it's a feature.
And all this has been known since the genesis of Lithium batteries.
Ever seen a chunk of Lithium floating on water? It burns with a violet flame.
As is the gas pressure buildup inside it’s sealed container!
How dangerous is the iPad battery?
@@LCLand Don't leave it on anything combustible, and you better have a smoke alarm. Don't use water on a Lithium fire.

I'll stick to my diesel pick up, thank you!!!!!
ICE cars became pretty silent too, long ago, especially at low speed.
EV drivers, probably, just less careful.
You mean "Simp'biotic....🤪🤕😜
EVs are very noisy at low speed vs ICE cars. Fake sounds that most driver never turn off
Not in the agenda makes them look bad
Never mentioned one of the biggest threats never mind the fire, it's the fumes that are completely lethal if inhaled . Responders have unfortunately already paid the price . If they go up run like hell
How about we ban EVs instead of internal combustion engines. Makes more sense, and people are starting to see the hype isn’t what it was sold to them ass.
Yea, let's let the rest of the world take the lead in technology, maybe go back to horse and buggy "cause they're more safe than automobiles.
The use of EV for town delivery , refuse truck etc is understandable, for private use it’s the “I’m more stupid than you “ syndrome.
i don't think ev is feasible for medium to large trucks - they already carry big weights, so a big battery pack makes the whole idea a joke ??
The thought of being trapped in a tunnel traffic jam with EV's surrounding me is a terrifying thought!

Someone should talk about how ev's run up insurance premiums because they are written off as total loses for even a minor fender bender.
Absolutely, that is why premiums are increasing across the board !
@@grantbitten6786 yes I just got my insurance bill for the coming year and it has gone up considerably why should we have to subsidize these things
There is a body shop where i live, and every day, multiple evs come in to be repaired from wrecking. They have 50 or more waiting for repairs. There are only a few gas vehicles at their shop. It's been like that for a few years since more suckers have bought the evs.
weight when are the owners going to start paying proper registration for the weight class, the lighting is going to be a truck class of 4 .. and you have to run a 8 ply tire on it.
Astounding, 2035 bans of combustion engines and we are all individual countries being told the same thing, with no discussion, amasing how that works!!!
You did not mention the extra wear and tear on roads and bridges.
I lost my driver's licence 20 years ago, and I am seriously reconsidering getting behind the wheel ever again.
There have already been many documented crashes where the EV (mainly Tesla) has deliberately rammed vehicles or objects. Ex: Tesla on the highway approaching an overturned straight truck laying across lanes. The Tesla never braked and rammed the truck at full speed. Or the driver trying to steer to avoid a dangerous hazard in their lane. The lane keep assist tore the wheel out of the drivers hands and forced the car to ram the object.

@@Miner-dyne Go away EVangilist.
links pls ??
The carbon footprint of Li battery production alone dwarfs the footprint of oil. The disposal will be a nightmare. Driverless evs are land missiles waiting to be weaponized.
The funny thing is in the 70's-80's when people were converting ICE car/trucks to propane everybody said how dangerous they were. And propane conversions still exist today!
7. People living near the cobalt mines in Africa are dying of cancer at an alarming rate.
8. Flooded EVs can burst into flames at any time, sometimes more than once.
Cobalt is also used in ICE vehicles. It is a shame how the workers get treated but you cant just blame ist on EVs…
Cobalt is used for everything it would get mined with or without EVs 🫡
What idiots let these things on the road? The DOT should have forbidden them from the start.
Follow the money...
An Eevee is a toaster. Guess who is the toast.

About fire: minor crashes can crack the batteries, even if no visible damage can be see from outside. Then, some cells can shortcut and catch fire hours or days after the accident.
IMHO, the added weight of EVs alone should have obviated their choice as "car of the future" for safety's sake. Why? Force= Mass x Velocity.
All these EVs burning? Very green 😜🤣😂
cared to even once check the actual numbers on burned EVs and ICEs?...if you did, you wouldn't have written that comment.
No-one is ever hurt in a EV. They never catch on fire. The self-driving works perfectly. You can't even hit another car in an EV, they are so safe!
And there is always the time you can spent reading, eating, watching a smart phone while it take 2-3 hours for it to charge.
What's not to love ??
😂👍🏻
Perfectly put.
And for a woman in a dark remote charging point it's a muggers paradise.....
@@cedhome7945 Now we know why they wanted bulletproof glass in Tesla Trucks to begin with.
That’s should be the case in a perfect world, in which we are not.
Another thing about the weight is the increase in wear and tear on roads which will result in more maintenance and repair thus higher taxes to pay for it
The risk they pose to the public is remarkable if something should go wrong. That’s for posting this vid, very informative.
Sssshhhh can't believe this has not been removed yet, by this platform after 5 hours
Oh it will be, the truth is not allowed.
I still haven't figured out how a car powered by burning coal is "environmentally friendly".
CO2 is the basic building block for all life on this planet. The earth is short of CO2 (the reason it is called a "Trace gas") since the burning of coal produces the most CO2 that also makes it the best thing for the planet.
How about an un-environmentally car (batteries primarily), that still has to be plugged into the coal fired power grid. Real environmentally friendly now, isn't it?
You should learn to figure. Scrubbers on coal generating plants capture nearly all of the soot. In the '80 so-called acid rain was constantly talked about, but not anymore. New tech can make coal plants cleaner - tech not being used in China.
@@timothykeith1367 I do know they have scrubbers, so does biden ad the dems? Oh, maybe it's because my aunt used to live (recently passed) near LG&E in Louisville, KY. Her house, sheds, cars and everything outside is covered with crap. You should listen more so you can learn more.
@@timothykeith1367 ............but we are talking about co2 NOT soot. and co2 DOES contribute to acid rain
Even if I had the money to buy one, I wouldnt. Theres too much trust in these things and somehow I cant see myself riding in a no driver car.
I remember when EV's first came out and the silence issue was brought up. They were supposed to install a noise device to let the visually handicapped hear them... it never happened.
The future of road safety is proper driver training not ADAS.
Most vehicles already have too much power. EV drivers darting in and out of lanes is a safety hazard. California is considering throttling new vehicles based on GPS, weather and traffic conditions. Crazy drivers bring on draconian regulations and crazy givernment strives for utopia.
Even a properly trained driver can be momentarily distracted
Really there is only two, both are battery, increased fire risk and increased mass. The malfunctioning “driving aids” could just as easily be fitted to ICE vehicles.
Lithium it’s highly flammable if I’m not mistaking. I remember a lot of cases of cellphones catching fire in people’s pockets.
About these vehicles. The moment the disposal of these batteries goes out of hand the damage to the environment it’s gonna be super toxic. We might have control of that in the US but I don’t know about other countries
the corporate media is not talking about it....normal , and smart people can see the mess coming
Hardly eco friendly, there are acres of land with scrapped EVs littering the countryside. All it takes is a simple fender bender and the battery gets damaged. As the battery is %50 the cars value it's not worth fixing the car so it is scrapped. I still have my Australian 97 Ford Fairlane it only has 127,000 Klms on the clock and drives and looks like new. But the government would rather me scrap it for one of these EV death traps. Just fore words...OVER MY DEAD BODY!
Not to mention .. none of this crap is really recyclable. What little is cost 10x as much to recycle.. I will keep my old pre 2008 cars and motorcycles they are much greener to simply fix as necessary. My 1987 Jeep runs great and will for another 37 years.
I knew EV's we're heavy but never thought by so much compared to its fuel driven counterparts. Which brings me to the question of gross weight on bridges for instance. What if there three or four EV's on a small bridge where there is a maximum weight restriction, bearing in mind that most bridges were built years ago & the weight of EV's were not part of the structural calculations. What about multi story car parks? I'm sure that if enough of them were parked together, it would affect the structural integrity of the multi story car park. I'm not an engineer of any kind but it seems as if the pushers of EV's have not thought of this, or just don't care at all.
Good video, thank you. The additional weight is a major issue that I do not think gets enough attention. As anyone who knows their physics will tell you, the impact force of a moving object like a car is proportional to the mass. In simple terms, if the EV weighs twice as much as the ICE car then it hits you twice as hard. So, in a head on collission with two cars that weigh twice as much, this adds up to four times the impact force.
Australian government please note. Your policies re transport are SO WRONG
you forgot to write: in my opinion...
because that is just what it is, your uninformed opinion.
As is yours, bot. Go snort some more copium.
@@Raussl I doubt he can even quote what the Australian governments policies on transport actually are
Let’s just invent better exhaust filters, easy to change even 1x a month. And butt covers for cows, if you believe methane doesn’t immediately get dispersed in the atmosphere. We’re not giving up our hamburgers or natural fertilizer for crops.
How about simply exposing their hoax instead?
@@ILGuy2012 ….experts have been trying for years, but even the science magazines won’t publish papers by top scientists who do not reinforce the party line, and are not government employees. Unelected world organizations are ignoring long established declarations by scientists that there have been at least 5 ice ages. Media control is a big problem.
CO2 is not the problem it's Methane, produced by decaying tundra, not flatulent cattle or vegans.
We are in a Methane driven (iceage) termination event, research it yourself.
The climate has changed for billions of years, so has the atmosphere, at times high CO2 at times high Oxygen etc.
CO2 is regulated by the oceans, when it's warm oceans absorb CO2, when it's cold oceans release CO2, handy during an iceage as it warms the planet up.
EVs are very quiet, I had a Tesla drive by me while I was taking articles out of my truck.
I never heard it. Just the tire noise alerted me something went by.
At 8:10 - _to ensure these vehicles are not only green_ Wait a minute! So are they green after all? Considering their factory-to-recycling overall impact, the only ones that are green are those painted green ;-/
Thr extra weight must also wear out tires and brakes sooner. In Canada our roads are a total mess already, and heavier cars will make them worse.
Add Canadian winters to the equation. -40 degree temperatures, snow, ice, blizzards and reduced battery performance. Sounds like a winning combination to me.
What a hhorrible waste of electricity re: EVs!!
The EV tires mostly wear because of an aggressive driving style. Tires can be engineered for the load rating, but some EV owners replace tires with less costly tires and "baby" it on launch from a stop.
You haven't factored in the fact EVs have regenerative braking..much easier on tyres than a friction braking system.
Our family lives in Colorado - we live in North Carolina. We can make the trip in my normal CR-V in about 2-1/2 days! With an EV our trip would double the time along with trying to find a charging station somewhere in the middle of Kansas where it can be hard to find a bathroom! No EVs at our house ever!
Some valid points in here for sure, yet the stats indicate otherwise in terms of road safety;
Average vehicle crash rates:
Driver only: once every 176,000 miles
(Tesla) Driver Assist: once every 430,000 miles
(Tesla) Full self driving (expected within 18 months): estimated at once in every 1.7m miles
With the present 12.4 FSD software, Tesla test drivers are experiencing interventions (ie, having to bail the FSD system out) once in every 10,000 miles (approx). FSD is here, it’s just not commercially released. When it is released and the car is fully autonomous, crash rates and deaths on roads will fall dramatically.
Your video suggests otherwise and the real world (leading edge) stats don’t back you up.
The reality is that, in 3-6 years (depending on regulatory issues), we’re going to see a shift to better driving, safer fully autonomous vehicles.
This will be lead by Tesla. I don’t drive one but I have educated myself on just how far ahead of everyone else, including the Chinese, the company now finds itself.
Battery life will extend to 1m+ miles (there is still the issue of where that Lithium comes from and what to do with the spent batteries), the cars will have limited service costs, will allow owners to add them to Tesla’s Robotaxi network (generating revenue for the owner during use down time) and make owning an electric (Tesla) a no brainer compared to an IC vehicle.
The future is changing and it’s already here.
E bikes are even far far worse. I work in a bike shop. All e bikes break and or simply implode. But every idiot is buying one!
Don't buy generic Chinese batteries. Use Panasonic or Samsung. Charge outside and the fire risk is very low.
Yup. Keep it from the community…. The highly toxic fumes from plastic. Polymers.. and yes. The Batteries themselves …. And what about the salvage yards packed with EVs ..? That CANNOT BE USED FOR PARTS WHATSOEVER
They are the worst thing for the environment overall ever conceived!
I’ve thought that they ought to have a sound like a ring tone, that goes, “Vroom Vroom!!” 🤣 In all seriousness, I have almost been hit by electric vehicles, twice, and this is a feature the manufacturers should add for safety.
i heard that some evs are fitted with a vroom vroomer but drivers turn them off. apparently drivers feel stupid with a vroomer. prolly more to do with peoples' attention being drawn to 'another dummy who bought in to the total ev b / s' ...........
There was a EV fire in Pennsylvania at a supercharging station this week.

ZAKKERLY tons of lithium at the bottom of the sea - far too close to england for my liking. on the plus side i'm 73, if you catch my drift........................
The weight also wears tires and roads much faster than other cars. That means higher maintenance costs for infrastructures and EV’s and more air pollution.
The weight of the Hummer battery is about equal to my 1997 full size suv. That's not scary at all.

It's a Hummer. It's intended to be stupidly heavy.
What about the damage to roads and bridges with all the extra weight.
