All these questions have been answered thousands of times. The short answer is that the extra energy it takes to build an EV is recouped anywhere from 1 to 5 years depending on how big the EV is and how the power it uses is made. The batteries can be recycled. First, they can be used in energy storage systems, then recycled. Electric motors are 4 to 5 times more efficient than gas engines at turning energy into power.
@@21jimmyo but batteries are not efficient. They still lose some times up to 40% of power on changing. It gets turned right in to heat. They can lose the same on discharge as well depending on draw demands. Electric motors yes are more efficient but that gose away with how fast you spin them, load extra. I like electric don't get me wrong there are some really good advantages. But they are still not there when compared to a international combustionvehicle in the same class. Evs do pollute heavily but it is indirect. Same with wind and solar panels. It takes a lot of diesel to build a wind turbine. Also they wind farms are backed up by either a quick start diesel or natural gas turbine generator plant for peek demands.
@@HarshdeepMusic -- Yes but if the electricity comes from coal or oil, then it's still creating C02 which is the main culprit. I agree that it's better than burning gas but only if the charging energy were to come from hydro, wind or solar.
crab walking is actually remarkably stable for high speed lane changes. You literally have no body lean and the vehicle just glides to the side. Also works great for parallel parking. Offroad, it works where it helps you to position the rear end more deliberately where using opposing 4 wheel steering causes your vehicle to rotate more than without it. It all depends on the situation. For example, say you're climbing a steep rock grade in Moab and want to avoid an obstacle, but you're worried that if you get the vehicle sideways, that it will start sliding sideways and become unstable. Crab walking would keep the vehicle pointed straight up the hill but allow you to go around the obstacle.
@@SuzukiKid400 Dunno, I too dont really see the advantage of crab walking in offroad vehicles.. Much more useful will be the fact that the front and rear can steer opposite to eachother..
@@pivkaaa You would not use opposing steering and crab walking in the same situation. Having said that, whether you are steering with the front wheels or opposite to them, the mechanics remain the same, and it just comes down to software. You as a driver could choose when you would or wouldn't use the feature. If nothing else, it's a cool feature you could brag about on your new Hummer EV Supertruck.
@@pivkaaa If you're driving a trail and come up on an obstacle that your undercarriage or body panels can't clear and need to move to one side a foot or two and only have three feet before you would hit a rock wall, trees, or go off a cliff face then you wouldn't have room to swing the front of your vehicle to the side and pull forward enough to get the rear end to clear the obstacle. With crab walking you can sidestep the truck and move the entire vehicle all at one once just enough to clear whatever you're needing to avoid and not risk rolling off a hill or creasing the side of the truck against something. You could also change your line of attack going up or down a trail to stay out of washouts or get your tires to line up with a rock to drive on it instead of risking it hitting the oil or transmission pan or catching the suspension.
@@ModelA Nope, it's almost LIVE real time. Electric Grid has very tiny storage capacity. But it's still way better for Humans in densely populated areas.
@@Neojhun Sorry, I was talking about storing the energy in batteries and using it later. For the record: The grid has NO storage capability other than the distributed capacitance in the system components, which is almost zero. Thanks man!
Not to mention the thousands and thousands of DIESEL miles racked up by the raw materials used in the batteries' production before it even goes IN to a new vehicle. Then there is the complete poisoning of the land for MILES AND MILES around the heavy metal mining sites. EVs are as much of a con, if not more, than diesel.
The pollution involved in producing these 4x4 behemoths is enormous. Get a used Prius or a Tesla and maybe you'll be doing something good for the planet-after you run your current vehicle into the ground.
@@SCORP1ONF1RE I'm upper middle class if not affluent (single and make $200K a year), I don't think I can afford this without being incredibly irresponsible.
It’s only eco friendly when compared to the old H1 and ICE trucks. It still uses far more angry pixies than a car and they have to be wrangled from somewhere.
@@sounduser I mean to an extent, but not really. Engineering Explained recently did a comparison and the break even point where buying a new EV becomes more efficient than keeping an existing 25MPG vehicle is only a couple of years 5-6 off the top of my head. Of course, an old hummer is not a 25MPG vehicle, it is lucky to break into the double digits and is generally a very inefficient way to travel.
@@sounduser you're absolutely CORRECT... I can't remember where I read it, but I once saw a pretty good argument for recycling. The premise was, that someone could completely rebuild an old car about 5 times over and still not use up as much energy and other resources as it takes to build ONE new car on a modern day assembly line. I'd be inclined to agree, because Mom n Dad were in the restoration business back in the 80s through the early 2000s... And we'd sometimes rebuild or restyle customer's vehicles periodically. It really seemed to be a "low impact operation" because Mom and Dad were very conservative with how they did things, i.e. disposal of waste, not over-buying supplies, etc. Cheers!
plus the 'green' folks are strangely anti-nuclear power plants .... so these hummers will likely be charged via coal, or gas powered electric plants...

Jay Leno is the type of guy to take a Hummer EV to a McDonald's drive through and the workers at the drive through will get flipped out that there is a Hummer EV
63% of all electricity in the US is produced by carbon producing power plants. 25% of that is lost in transmission. Another 25% is lost when charging the battery. It may be zero emissions at the vehicle, but the carbon impact is greater. #eenergy/=greenenergy
@@dtay8913 or rivian right? All these claims about the first electric truck are a joke. Back in 1997 Chevrolet produced an ev s10 and then in 1998 Ford had an ev ranger available. And they sold thousands of both during the limited production run. You can even find some right here on UA-cam that are still otr.
Speaking of Bailouts.... Does anyone ever stop to think about exactly WHO it is that owns these companies? Not to mention, how much of that "created" Bailout "money" actually gets put to use BAILING OUT whatever company it's supposed to be bailing out, and how much of that beautiful created out of thin air "money" goes straight into the pockets of the "owners"? It's obviously disgusting and disgustingly obvious.
Last week I was working at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan and we kept hearing a vehicle doing monster burnouts, but couldn't hear any engine sounds. Look over and saw a Hummer EV racing away from a cloud of smoke.
The attraction for the original Hummer was it’s rugged simplicity. Something easily worked on, and buy parts for. Congratulations GM, you’ve designed another off-road vehicle that their owners will never take off-road.
Yes and Jay even said that himself and he's a multi-millionaire. These kinds of vehicles are just an overall waste in every aspect. They're just toys for idiots who want to show off in parking lots of big box stores in the burbs. The only 'crab walking' this thing will be doing is for showing off for kids in a parking lot.
@@mikeb3172 If I can afford a $100k vehicle I'm going to fly if it's more than a few hundred miles away. And have it wrapped to protect the paint. This thing cost the same price as a Tesla Model X, but a lot more versatile.
we have been pumping out f150s at Dearborn assembly for months now and parking all of them in lots around the country, we cant sell them without that chip, and when we do get the chip we still gotta put them in all the trucks
Let's be real, no one is going to be stupid enough to take these things off roading, it's just for some rich folks to jump a curb and drive through a mud puddle so they can feel good about themselves.
You can't even drive it anywhere lol I always love when you see EVs hooked up to a diesel generator, everything about these goofy things screams "extra steps"
"Yes, you can drive our new $100,000 electric Hummer on your show. But you have to film it with the cameras that existed when the first version came out."
I’m still waiting for someone to answer a question I had with EV off-rod vehicles. That is… how does an overlander take advantage of going somewhere far in a remote place and still have enough charge to get back home? Solar panels aren’t gonna cut it and charge your batteries full. If you have a range of 300 miles only, you’re limited to the distance you can take this to?
for a long range overlanding expedition youd have to have a generator of sufficient size to charge the batteries. a model x did a rally a few years ago and had to tow a generator with them, iirc. but for most people they arent going that far from civilization to worry about.
You can get modular 'jerry cans of electricity' and place them in the trunk or truck bed if you wish. My question is do gas/diesel offroaders trailer a tank of extra fuel with them on these trips? The EV Hummer will simply charge at Electrify America or whatever along the way and on the last charge, put as much in as possible. Charging infrastructure will get better and keep in mind, when you are offroading, you are going slowly, so you don't use much 'fuel' in the EV anyhow for that situation.
@@brianhill4153 I believe what happens sometimes with UA-cam is if you are watching right after upload, the full resolution version has not yet fully materialized on the server so you get a low res version. If you wait and re-watch it later you'll get the high res version. It has happened to me before at least.
Spring 2023 is what GM is telling automotive journalists. That will be the "EV 2X" version, with crab walk & FWIW a third less power than the initial "EV Edition 1" version.
I'm waiting for someone to puncture a battery and contaminate the water table, that battery placement on a supposedly offroad vehicle is dubious without a lot of shelding.
@@Delvien Like puncturing a fuel tank and spilling gas everywhere? Or busting an oil pan and dropping 7 quarts of 5W30 all over mother earth? Every vehicle has it's drawbacks.
@@SuzukiKid400 Lithium doesn't evaporate like gas and oil pans are much better protected then these batteries are. (Not to mention combustion and hybrid vehicles are far more capable) Fuel cells have existed since I was a kid. Waaaay cleaner then both batteries and combustion. However, batteries make companies more money and the pollution is exported, out of sight out of mind, and so eco nuts eat it up.
@@Delvien Good point. It's impossible to install a better skid plate on an EV. Only ICE vehicles have good oil pan and transmission skid plates. Oh by the way, fuel cells require hydrogen to run...which is a very energy intensive process to produce hydrogen gas. I personally enjoy ICE vehicles the most as an enthusiast as I like to wrench on them, modify them, build them, and listen to them when they run. But you have to be honest with yourself that an EV, as a transportation tool, is pretty much superior in every way. It will take time to develop better batteries to overcome the current ICE advantages, but we will get there. It's like when we went from horses to ICE cars. I'm sure a lot of people at the time complained about where would the gas come from as it was much easier to grow oats and hay to feed your horse, and they drank water which you could find anywhere!
@@Delvien What? First, there isn't a liquid in the cells to leak out, secondly the packs are completely sealed (you can drive underwater) with armor underneath. At most the coolant loop might leak but that has been a problem already for 100 years of vehicles.
@@chunkycheese73 No it's not, do you have any idea how bad Lithium is for the environment? May as well just use diesel and roll coal every hour of the day. Environmentalists are so clueless, they pay no attention to what goes into making just one Tesla lmao if they actually cared they would just walk.
@@bobbybologna3029 I completely agree, batteries are terrible for the environment, in making them, charging them and disposing them. Compared to batteries liquid fuels are a drop in the bucket, the push for EVs has nothing to do with the environment, it's about a shift of wealth from oil producing countries(USA / Saudi) to those who mine for rare earth minerals (China)
@@bobbybologna3029 Difference is batteries can be recycled diesel and coal can't. No one complains about the millions of batteries used in smartphones that are disposed of yearly.
Its got a 200kwh battery. If it does 500km its average consumption is over 40kwh/100km, thats more than twice what is necessary. Just because its an EV doesnt make it clean.
Yeah the energy generation mix isn't entirely clean but I have high hopes that it will get cleaner in the future. Especially with huge advancements in energy storage which I think will render fossil fuels obsolete.
@@jamesengland7461 Thanks, that was my point, its horrendous compared to other EVs. Exactly the same as the current hummer compared to other gasoline powered cars. So nothing has changed has it?
@@sporkeh90 The Hummer is a niche offroad vehicle, not a commuter like a Model 3. It will be sold as a low volume halo car. More efficient pickups that will be cheaper, lighter, and more efficient will follow the halo vehicle and will have similar efficiency values to the Cybertruck. You cannot compare the efficiency of a 9,000 lb halo supertruck to tesla sedans.
As someone who wants a small plain Jane EV truck this just lets me know that it's never going to happen. Automakers and the dealers make too much money selling luxury lifestyle vehicles to people who have to get 8 year financing than to sell me what I want when I have the money to pay for it. The sad reality is that if I lived in California where trucks don't rust out the carbon footprint for keeping whatever truck I have and even completely replacing the drivetrain when it wears out is significantly smaller than buying a new EV truck. Commercial environmentalism is just paying a premium for regular commercialism with a green plastic sticker on it.
I can look it up but what about water forging? ...also sounded like a heavy bottom scrape at the end, hopefully a solid plate is protecting the batteries. In the end it's not for what they were showcasing, too long too wide too low. Mild overlanding sure but a rock truck it sure aint.
@@21jimmyo Valid point...I guess what I was after is that the starting platform is not well suited. It's just too big IMO for that. That is not to say EV is not for off-roading or rock climbing, quite the opposite. The torque control is amazing for example. Not trying to yuck anyones yum but for my use case, something smaller like an EV Bronco/Jeep would get my attention over this beast.
@@TheStealthbob welp something smaller and rolling of the assembly line is the Rivian R1t... Definitely bigger than the bronco and jeep tho and yes I agree with you, its way too massive for the use case, significantly less nimble but then that's what the hummer brand is all about; BEAST mode all day, erryday, anyhow, anyway!
There's no place where a gas powered car beats it... Hmm yeah except refueling, range, and that sweet hum of a huge grumbling motor with wicked sounding exhaust.
Well, it's just that it's such an obvious arrogant statement to drive one and the people who buy them know that, so it's basically a very vicious circle.
Me too. I had preordered the Cybertruck as I fell in love with it. But ultimately I just couldn't see myself driving a cybertruck and trying to be normal doing runs to the lumber mill or hauling a trailer. Chances are people would start shooting bullets at the doors or smashing my windows with bowling balls. Ultimately if I get an EV truck it'll likely be an F150 because it doesn't look like an EV. I don't want people to know I drive an EV because I don't like the snooty holier than thou connotation that goes along with that.
Whether these kinds of large vehicles no longer consume fuel is not as safe as we might think. The situation we are facing will probably require that we stop wasting resources to build massive non-utility vehicles like this; just because it's electric doesn't mean its materials are renewable... My feeling is--and I think this is being optimistic--we need to draw a straight line, a bee-line, to the solution for climate; stuff like this is still a waste.
Yep, I totally agree and if the human race really wants to survive, then it will also require a reversal of the population crisis which is a REAL sore point for many people. The population of China alone is staggering and they've gone from being an agriculturally-based society to the worlds manufacturing dirt hole in only about 20 years, and now many there also want all the crap that many westerners want. I think if we don't do something to correct the population imbalance, then nature will soon do it for us, but we've seen how nature handles imbalances, so if we wait that long, it's going to be REALLY ugly when it comes!
Current electric vehicles are between 55 to 75% efficient. With heavy and expensive batteries. Meanwhile a 21st Century steam turbine vehicles can achieve 90%+ efficiency and cost a fraction of what a BEV costs to build, because it doesn't need any expensive metals.
@Waterworld 360 Yes... But because THEY have too many dogs in the fight, so to speak... We'll NEVER see another steam powered vehicle. I'm sure that you're familiar with the Abner Doble cars? I've always wondered why some manufacturer hasn't improved upon an already wonderful design, especially given what's known and what's available to work with today. Then, I realize that The Powers That Be own EVERYTHING and really don't care to make any significant changes. Cheers!
I love how people still pretend that electric cars are better for the environment. Probably the same people who think the automatic engine shut off feature is a good idea.
Don’t forget that since everything in it is new to the market and it won’t be massively produced, anything that needs to be fix or replace will be very expensive

To answer you objectively. The sustainability of an electric car compared to a comparable combustion engine is already payable by 25,000-85,000 kilometres with our current electricity mix. The batteries hold an average of 600-700,000 km. Even after these kilometres, you do not replace the whole battery but individual modules, then you use the batteries as stationary storage and then the batteries are recycled VW and Redwood Materials recycle the batteries to 92%. Due to the progress in battery research and development, the batteries are becoming cheaper and better. Tesla no longer uses cobalt in its batteries due to a new cell chemistry. Tesla and Mercedes give their batteries an 8-year warranty or 250,000 kilometres. On the subject of the environmental friendliness of battery production, battery production requires less water than 1 kilogram of beef and emits less CO2 than the refining and extraction of petroleum for the combustion engine. To hydrogen. Hydrogen is very energy intensive, means you have to invest around 50 kWh of electricity (electrolysis, bring to the pressure of 700 bar) to get 1 kg of hydrogen. Alternative fuels need around 114 kWh of electricity for 100 kilometres. So the efficiency is bad. That's why electromobility is used. Because we need renewable electricity and hydrogen for energy-intensive industries. The advantage of hydrogen lies only in the energy density, but the battery is also increasingly researching and developing in this area. I hope I was able to enlighten you objectively. Have a pleasant day.😀

The battery has an 8 year warranty so I imagine it wouldn't need replacing in 10 years. Also, the battery is in modules so the more likely situation is the need to replace a module(s), not the whole pack.
@@theflew The cost of working on the battery will be more than the value of the car. Do you support the use of slave labour where battery materials are mined? Simple question, yes or no?
@@othaVada You make it sound as if oil comes down like rain and it has no bad environmental side effects. If your concern is the labor that mines cobalt that can be changed by the companies that buy the raw materials and avoid the use of small scale mines.

@@sounduser I mean to an extent, but not really. Engineering Explained recently did a comparison and the break even point where buying a new EV becomes more efficient than keeping an existing 25MPG vehicle is only a couple of years 5-6 off the top of my head. Of course, an old hummer is not a 25MPG vehicle, it is lucky to break into the double digits and is generally a very inefficient way to travel.
@@sounduser you're absolutely CORRECT...
I can't remember where I read it, but I once saw a pretty good argument for recycling.
The premise was, that someone could completely rebuild an old car about 5 times over and still not use up as much energy and other resources as it takes to build ONE new car on a modern day assembly line.
I'd be inclined to agree, because Mom n Dad were in the restoration business back in the 80s through the early 2000s... And we'd sometimes rebuild or restyle customer's vehicles periodically.
It really seemed to be a "low impact operation" because Mom and Dad were very conservative with how they did things, i.e. disposal of waste, not over-buying supplies, etc.
Cheers!

63% of all electricity in the US is produced by carbon producing power plants. 25% of that is lost in transmission. Another 25% is lost when charging the battery. It may be zero emissions at the vehicle, but the carbon impact is greater. #eenergy/=greenenergy

I’m still waiting for someone to answer a question I had with EV off-rod vehicles. That is… how does an overlander take advantage of going somewhere far in a remote place and still have enough charge to get back home? Solar panels aren’t gonna cut it and charge your batteries full.
If you have a range of 300 miles only, you’re limited to the distance you can take this to?
Unless u live in that remote area I guess. Lotta places to off-road within 300 of me, I’m not even tht remote either.
for a long range overlanding expedition youd have to have a generator of sufficient size to charge the batteries. a model x did a rally a few years ago and had to tow a generator with them, iirc. but for most people they arent going that far from civilization to worry about.
Just take a diesel powered generator with you
Maybe a Jerry can like the jeep guys have? But fill it with electricity...
You can get modular 'jerry cans of electricity' and place them in the trunk or truck bed if you wish. My question is do gas/diesel offroaders trailer a tank of extra fuel with them on these trips? The EV Hummer will simply charge at Electrify America or whatever along the way and on the last charge, put as much in as possible. Charging infrastructure will get better and keep in mind, when you are offroading, you are going slowly, so you don't use much 'fuel' in the EV anyhow for that situation.
Thank you Mr. Leno

I hope for these owners that GM has figured out how to build an EV. Their current grade is a solid F.
I'm waiting for someone to puncture a battery and contaminate the water table, that battery placement on a supposedly offroad vehicle is dubious without a lot of shelding.
@@Delvien Like puncturing a fuel tank and spilling gas everywhere? Or busting an oil pan and dropping 7 quarts of 5W30 all over mother earth? Every vehicle has it's drawbacks.
@@SuzukiKid400 Lithium doesn't evaporate like gas and oil pans are much better protected then these batteries are. (Not to mention combustion and hybrid vehicles are far more capable) Fuel cells have existed since I was a kid. Waaaay cleaner then both batteries and combustion. However, batteries make companies more money and the pollution is exported, out of sight out of mind, and so eco nuts eat it up.
@@Delvien Good point. It's impossible to install a better skid plate on an EV. Only ICE vehicles have good oil pan and transmission skid plates. Oh by the way, fuel cells require hydrogen to run...which is a very energy intensive process to produce hydrogen gas. I personally enjoy ICE vehicles the most as an enthusiast as I like to wrench on them, modify them, build them, and listen to them when they run. But you have to be honest with yourself that an EV, as a transportation tool, is pretty much superior in every way. It will take time to develop better batteries to overcome the current ICE advantages, but we will get there. It's like when we went from horses to ICE cars. I'm sure a lot of people at the time complained about where would the gas come from as it was much easier to grow oats and hay to feed your horse, and they drank water which you could find anywhere!
@@Delvien What? First, there isn't a liquid in the cells to leak out, secondly the packs are completely sealed (you can drive underwater) with armor underneath. At most the coolant loop might leak but that has been a problem already for 100 years of vehicles.
How do you recharge it at the campsite? how long is 300 miles off road? 300 miles on road is not the same as 300 miles off road.
Easy... a portable Coleman solar panel. Just plug it into the cigarette lighter and hunker down at your campsite for a few months
Many campsites have 240V hookups for campers. Those same outlets can be used for charging using the included charger.
@@theflew so you do not go off roading or camp, do you? You go to a “Campsite”. City people just do not understand
It's perfect for the "more-debt-than-brains" look at me crowd, so in the USA it should sell like hotcakes.

@@bobbybologna3029 I completely agree, batteries are terrible for the environment, in making them, charging them and disposing them. Compared to batteries liquid fuels are a drop in the bucket, the push for EVs has nothing to do with the environment, it's about a shift of wealth from oil producing countries(USA / Saudi) to those who mine for rare earth minerals (China)
@@bobbybologna3029 Difference is batteries can be recycled diesel and coal can't. No one complains about the millions of batteries used in smartphones that are disposed of yearly.
Its got a 200kwh battery. If it does 500km its average consumption is over 40kwh/100km, thats more than twice what is necessary. Just because its an EV doesnt make it clean.
I agree but if someone has a large solar powered system at home that can power this vehicle then it becomes greener.
Yeah the energy generation mix isn't entirely clean but I have high hopes that it will get cleaner in the future. Especially with huge advancements in energy storage which I think will render fossil fuels obsolete.
40kwh/100km is equivalent to 50mpg on gasoline. Excellent, actually. Mind you, Teslas get around 120mpg equivalent.
@@jamesengland7461 Thanks, that was my point, its horrendous compared to other EVs. Exactly the same as the current hummer compared to other gasoline powered cars. So nothing has changed has it?
@@sporkeh90 The Hummer is a niche offroad vehicle, not a commuter like a Model 3. It will be sold as a low volume halo car. More efficient pickups that will be cheaper, lighter, and more efficient will follow the halo vehicle and will have similar efficiency values to the Cybertruck. You cannot compare the efficiency of a 9,000 lb halo supertruck to tesla sedans.
As someone who wants a small plain Jane EV truck this just lets me know that it's never going to happen. Automakers and the dealers make too much money selling luxury lifestyle vehicles to people who have to get 8 year financing than to sell me what I want when I have the money to pay for it. The sad reality is that if I lived in California where trucks don't rust out the carbon footprint for keeping whatever truck I have and even completely replacing the drivetrain when it wears out is significantly smaller than buying a new EV truck. Commercial environmentalism is just paying a premium for regular commercialism with a green plastic sticker on it.
Its only exo friendly and emission free when you know where the electons came from! Otherwise not bad!
Your determined to carry their water aren't you.
It would have to be a hydrogen cell EV for that to be true.

The H2 was great. Especially when they added the Diesel option. The only complaint most people ever had regarding the H2 was the H2 OWNERS
I can look it up but what about water forging? ...also sounded like a heavy bottom scrape at the end, hopefully a solid plate is protecting the batteries. In the end it's not for what they were showcasing, too long too wide too low. Mild overlanding sure but a rock truck it sure aint.
There are no trucks that you can buy new that are good rock trucks without making some modifications.
@@21jimmyo Valid point...I guess what I was after is that the starting platform is not well suited. It's just too big IMO for that. That is not to say EV is not for off-roading or rock climbing, quite the opposite. The torque control is amazing for example. Not trying to yuck anyones yum but for my use case, something smaller like an EV Bronco/Jeep would get my attention over this beast.
@@TheStealthbob welp something smaller and rolling of the assembly line is the Rivian R1t...

Always found it funny about the hummer hate like it was the only vehicle with pollution
Well, it's just that it's such an obvious arrogant statement to drive one and the people who buy them know that, so it's basically a very vicious circle.
Tbh, I’d buy a hummer over the cyber truck. Apart from the fact that the hummer will be on the road for years before Tesla gets theirs into production
Me too. I had preordered the Cybertruck as I fell in love with it. But ultimately I just couldn't see myself driving a cybertruck and trying to be normal doing runs to the lumber mill or hauling a trailer. Chances are people would start shooting bullets at the doors or smashing my windows with bowling balls. Ultimately if I get an EV truck it'll likely be an F150 because it doesn't look like an EV. I don't want people to know I drive an EV because I don't like the snooty holier than thou connotation that goes along with that.
Looks Like A badass Street Trophy Truck
Whether these kinds of large vehicles no longer consume fuel is not as safe as we might think. The situation we are facing will probably require that we stop wasting resources to build massive non-utility vehicles like this; just because it's electric doesn't mean its materials are renewable... My feeling is--and I think this is being optimistic--we need to draw a straight line, a bee-line, to the solution for climate; stuff like this is still a waste.
Yep, I totally agree and if the human race really wants to survive, then it will also require a reversal of the population crisis which is a REAL sore point for many people. The population of China alone is staggering and they've gone from being an agriculturally-based society to the worlds manufacturing dirt hole in only about 20 years, and now many there also want all the crap that many westerners want. I think if we don't do something to correct the population imbalance, then nature will soon do it for us, but we've seen how nature handles imbalances, so if we wait that long, it's going to be REALLY ugly when it comes!
Current electric vehicles are between 55 to 75% efficient. With heavy and expensive batteries.
Meanwhile a 21st Century steam turbine vehicles can achieve 90%+ efficiency and cost a fraction of what a BEV costs to build, because it doesn't need any expensive metals.
@Waterworld 360
Yes... But because THEY have too many dogs in the fight, so to speak... We'll NEVER see another steam powered vehicle.
I'm sure that you're familiar with the Abner Doble cars?

Then, I realize that The Powers That Be own EVERYTHING and really don't care to make any significant changes.

More ICE, fewer EVs please. Also, can you cover the life cycle of a lithium battery and how the process pollutes our ground water.
How eco friendly is to make and recycling that big battery pack
Far more eco friendly than bombing the Middle East for petroleum.
To answer you objectively. The sustainability of an electric car compared to a comparable combustion engine is already payable by 25,000-85,000 kilometres with our current electricity mix. The batteries hold an average of 600-700,000 km. Even after these kilometres, you do not replace the whole battery but individual modules, then you use the batteries as stationary storage and then the batteries are recycled VW and Redwood Materials recycle the batteries to 92%. Due to the progress in battery research and development, the batteries are becoming cheaper and better. Tesla no longer uses cobalt in its batteries due to a new cell chemistry. Tesla and Mercedes give their batteries an 8-year warranty or 250,000 kilometres. On the subject of the environmental friendliness of battery production, battery production requires less water than 1 kilogram of beef and emits less CO2 than the refining and extraction of petroleum for the combustion engine. To hydrogen. Hydrogen is very energy intensive, means you have to invest around 50 kWh of electricity (electrolysis, bring to the pressure of 700 bar) to get 1 kg of hydrogen. Alternative fuels need around 114 kWh of electricity for 100 kilometres. So the efficiency is bad. That's why electromobility is used. Because we need renewable electricity and hydrogen for energy-intensive industries. The advantage of hydrogen lies only in the energy density, but the battery is also increasingly researching and developing in this area. I hope I was able to enlighten you objectively. Have a pleasant day.😀
