breaking this story: Under an Energy Department rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality. DC regulators kept a special EV subsidy related to this, a secret. Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets, and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making electric cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values. Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill and the headaches. Now, the secret is out! After environmental groups pointed out the illegality of this charade, the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 efficiency multiplier for electric cars, recognizing that the number “lacks legal support,” and has “no basis.” Let’s not mince words -- this has a direct impact on a subsidy that indirectly and illegally taxes YOU, the people. Your taxes dollars are going directly into the pockets of these corporations for falsely complying arbitrarily set standards. Remember, you are the one paying for these subsidies. Carmakers have panicked and asked the administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable. The Journal noted this scandal is buried deep in the Federal Register-on page 36,987 of volume 65. Since the tax credits “lack legal support,” and have “no basis”, all the beneficiaries should have to return their illegal gains. The biggest beneficiary is Tesla. This is where Tesla makes its profits. They sell the carbon credits to other brands that don’t make and sell enough EVs to meet the EPA standards. All other brands lose money on each electric vehicle. It’s not known who exactly bought the credits and for how much, but they are sold to other car companies that missed out on emissions standards of the #california Air Resources Board. Just to be clear, this is wrong morally, and likely is illegal if challenged in court. This is a massive scandal reminiscent of the diesel-emissions cheating that rocked #germany automakers. This was the governments way of getting automakers on boards with EVs. Forcing them into compliance. Now the government is going to remove this EV factor and implode automakers because they will not be able to comply with the EPA's regulations. This inflated figure is not simply a boastful statistic. It serves as a conduit for carmakers to accumulate compliance credits, which can then be traded for cash. This issue remained largely invisible to the public eye until recently, when environmental groups brought its illegality into the spotlight. The whole Carbon Credit scam was not created for Tesla, it was created to get consumers to buy electric vehicles. The timing of this revelation is suspicious. Suddenly the government is not a fan of Elon Musk, is this a coincidence, we shall see. So who actually knew about this? The government must have known when they created the program, did car manufacturers know about the scam too? It's the old question: what did they know and when did they know it. Watch the Tort bar, I’m sure they are already on this scam. They'll have a field day with this because there are lots of big pockets to dip into. Did you buy an electric car? Next you’ll be hearing commercials about class action law suits.
Hi. Could you do a comparison test between an eV and similar ice towing a caravan, or trailer in real life conditions and mileage. It would be interesting to see the results . Thanks for all the work you do, its really appreciated.
"....and everything that goes with it". I.e. human society. What we have been saying all along. By the time they realise it won't work, the investment in ICE and in oil refineries will mean that there will be no going back. Civilisation will have collapsed. Queue the Great Reset!

I live in Norway, and we have traditionally (always) had huge taxes on cars. Our government removed all taxes on EVs so that they became as cheap or cheaper than petrol cars. That was 15 years ago. Now, they're slowly increasing taxes again, but the problem is there's almost no petrol or diesel cars for sale anymore. So when there's only EVs for sale, and they're taxed all the way up, and a Model 3 has a starting price of £100K, we're all going to be taking the bus, which is also electric and unreliable.

I am wanting to buy a car at the moment and would have considered buying new but I look at the various websites of makes I used to like and since I don’t want an EV white elephant and hybrids just seem double trouble crazy I cannot find a car to buy, so I will carry on running my old one in the hope sanity and IC car sanity returns. I am sure I am not alone.
The idea was never to get you out of an ICE vehicle into an EV. It was really just getting you out of your ICE vehicle. And then getting around on the non-existent public transport system.

Same thing happened to me here in Western Australia. I have been walking through the bush on a bush trail for years. It’s summer here.

Just keep doing videos about news and new things coming out about EVs and talk about the other side of it with comparable ICE vehicles. I almost bought a new Nissan Versa that is capable of 40 mpg on the highway and cost under 20,000 dollars US. I researched and found out that they are one of the last vehicles that are still port injected and the engine tech is simple and durable like it was in basically 2010. They just doubled the injector count and tweaked the engine. They still sell them in a 5 speed manual or a CVT. I could not get my wife to buy the manual trans for her, she did not want it. I am hesitant to buy a Chain drive CVT and all of the maintenance headaches to make it last long enough to equal the engine longevity. Point was that you can still get a basic gas economy car for half the cost of an EV and about equal cost to drive it long distance or in town if someone cannot charge at home.

To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

Here's an analogy for you Geoff? Recently I had my 30 yr old central heating oil boiler serviced and the exhaust flue analysed. Once the heating engineer had took the readings he laughed, I asked why? He said "your boiler is burning at 4ppm and yet all the brand new boilers I install I can never get them better than 20ppm". Yet I'm threatened with a bad energy rating, it's all a con mate!
@@elta6241Same with my 14reg diesel van. The sniffer wasn't even registering up the exhaust, the tester took it out and physically had to blow into the pipe to get a CO reading 🤔

I appreciate you, and you sharing knowledge. What suggestions might you have? I’ve been suggesting for about 4 years now, that people stock long shelf life foods, water, necessities, buy silver and gold, and diversify into digital assets (I believe there will be several good ones, as I believe they will play different roles in this digital world being created.
Great opinion. I have never thought about it being a controlled demolition of the auto industry. In the United States, one of the last Bastians of mom-and-pop businesses is around the auto repair industry.
Exactly sir! Glad you now see this. The infrastructure would have been impossible to install and maintain; the charging times would have brought the country to a standstill; the power would have had to come from fossil fuels.
Earth produces oil from an internal process involving frequency. No such thing as "fossil fuels". Dead trees and dinosaur carcasses do not create oil. Time to wake up everyone.
i refuse to be apart of some google dystopian smart cities but here in mexicali, it really is like a "15 minute city" everything is in walking range with all the small businesses.
Well, then all you gotta do, is MAKE them wish for the same thing. Make it to where intervening in other people's lives isn't worth the amount of 'intervening' that will happen in THEIR life, if they try it.
I read a news article 2 years ago that said there aren't enough rare earth minerals on planet earth to replace every petrol car with an EV. It's not possible
Also there are not enough power plants to charge that amount of EVs either. And I don't even speak about power lines and charging stations. Also all the EV afficionados forgot to read the small characters and they were astonished to discover that Lithium batteries don't want to charge below freezing temperatures. Who knew?
There was a ton of research demonstrating how people without all their basic needs located in their immediate area were economically disadvantaged - ‘food deserts’ being the main example. Now, when the municipalities are trying to offer that as the basic standard of living (basic needs in 15 minutes) it’s painted as a social control experiment. Jeez…imagine…a family not needing 1-2-3 or even 4 cars @ a carrying cost of $10k each per year to live your life. Or that your kids don’t have to ride a bus for 30+ minutes each way to get to high school … maybe they could actually ride a bike on a protected bike lane (costing a fraction of the cost of a road) and stay physically fit doing so and getting fresh air every day. So sure, I could see owning 1 car for some longer range & out of the way trips. But for everything else, a ‘15 min city’ with real vibrant neighborhoods and long distance transit (bus, plane, train) for most other travel sounds pretty darn good. And yes, we have our EV, but we also have a large ICE SUV. The EV is great at what it does, but I’m not saying ‘it’s the only option’ for everyone at all times ‘cause clearly it is not. But it is a tool and like all tools, where it’s fits, it’s hard to beat. Hammers make for bad screwdrivers, and visa versa.
15 minute cities are just open air prisons. That dystopia will never happen. I've never lived anywhere that my wife and I could both walk 15 minutes to work. Single income now. The closest drive we can live to my current employer is 25 minutes. 2 to 3 hours each way by govt transit. 5 hours walking.

You make a great point about how bad mistakes are made. If you make no effort to understand the arguments of others, you will always end up not understanding your own arguments.
You are spot on. The "Powers That Be" were well aware that the EV is not just a Trojan Horse but it's also a dead horse. It was always meant to damage the carmakers.
Powers that be = World Economic |Forum. Its made to look like a "free market". But in many areas, its anything but. Companies like Black Rock and secretative ultra wealthy groups really control it to give us an increasingly illusory concept of "free choice".
Legacy manufacturers can’t innovate. It’s time for a reboot. The anti humanist wokes never expected Elon and Tesla to prove them wrong. Tesla rewrote the car construction book to make affordable and reliable electric vehicles. This is why The Woke hate him so much.
The car manufacturers are only producing blackmail versions of what you used to be able to buy. I am a red seal automotive mechanic and I see it every day. Fuel injection is not one bit cleaner for the environment or more efficient than the older carbureted engines. They are just more complicated and cost so much more to maintain. Cars today are designed to just outlive the warranty and then become so expensive to keep on the road. A typical 10 years old car is ready to scrap and a 5 year old car is still going to cost you a lot to buy and you will be putting money into it as long as you own it. It's a trap. You have money invested in it and now it's going to cost you more. But you still owe money on it. Or you just bought it 6 months ago and now it needs a $3000 transmission. I drive junk for traveling back and forth to work and my truck is a 1981 Chevy pickup. I had it for over 30 years and I live in the rust belt. It will out live me. It will still be going down the road years after I'm gone. Meanwhile. Trucks that were built 10 or 12 years ago are rusted out and worn out.
Not really to damage carmakers, but to redistribute that money from carmakers and buyers to their "friends" that will benefit from their investments in the whole global warming debacle and benefit once more from shorting when time comes to sell.

Toyota is one step ahead of you. They have been very cautious about EVs (despite being the biggest driver of the adoption of hybrids) and continue to make simple, reliable cars for countries all over the world - not just western nations.
Hybrids are a good idea as transition/alternative product in the market and rightfully priced at a premium compared to the base model. Not much to adjust from the motorists' side too. Toyota is serious about alternatives and has also been developing hydrogen and not putting all eggs in one basket. All the while their ICE vehicles are still in the market.
Toyota is actually in the process of making / pushing HYDROGEN powered motors.. "EV" has Always been BS. [I've been in industries dealing w/ Batteries for like 3 decades - I Get It] People are gullible and Will Fall For Anything. There's ZERO possibility to charge properly, there's not nearly enough natural resources for said batteries, the bat cost is extremely expensive, their waste is Much Worse.. I can keep going on and on and on.. The s*it doesn't run off from pixi-dust! Coal/Nuclear POWER is what Makes 'Electricity' for EVs. Derp ah derrr..

Period.
This is what I've been telling people for years. To switch everyone to EVs they need to start building infrastructure including nuclear power plants yesterday. Why aren't they? Because they don't want everyone to have a car. They want you to live in their 15 minute cities.
Switching to EV is a great idea but the execution sucks, just like Brexit. "Never Attribute to Malice That Which is Adequately Explained by Stupidity." - Hanlon’s razor

I could never understand why there was no outcry from the petrol companies about the elimination of ICE vehicles and the destruction of their industry.
I'm 71 and a retired engineer. In all my years, I don't think I've ever seen such a supposedly innovative product bought to market with such an obvious lack of R&D and market research. All of the issues that have come to light since EVs have been foisted on the public, would have been identified under any normal, rigorous R&D programme. And from the market research side of things, did nobody ask anyone if they would want to buy a 1) vehicle that costs more, 2) takes much longer to refuel, 3) will go less distance on that refuel, and that distance will probably halve in really cold weather, 4) will cost more to insure 5) will depreciate like a stone...........the list goes on. It seems none of the aforementioned happened, because, if they had done their due diligence, EVs would never have got to market.........
I'm a working engineer and have driven 100,000 miles in electric cars commuting to work. Every 10k miles I save £1000 compared to the most efficient diesel car. Electric has it's issues but I wouldn't go back to diesel. Electric is fast fun and cheaper to run!
@@MatthewEng2593 and how much time was wasted waiting around for the thing to recharge? I don't classify that as 'fun'. Frustrating maybe, but certainly not 'fun'!
I realized a few years ago that the intent wasn't to get people to switch from ice cars to evs but to get them out of cars altogether. If they were serious about switching there would have been a panic to get power delivery infrastructure and baseload power generation (hydro,nuclear, gas, coal) ready. Where I live I saw no concern at all. Both federal and state governments knew it wasn't going to happen.
They don't even have to ban cars now, they're just 4king with them by making them ugly, soulless and annoying, and ultimately very very difficult to want. There's masses of people cancelling their Range Rover orders because of the removal of physical buttons.
@@newtonshiggers I don’t want a touch screen in my car. Ok for sat nav maybe but not for controls used on the move. We have to pay big money and get a car with cr** we don’t need or want.
I figured out the baseload thing about 20 years ago. By rough back-of-envelope calculations, it looked like we would need to quadruple our level of electrical generation to make it workable. The US has something around 100+ million vehicles that get driven on an almost daily basis. Even worse, when a hypothetical EV fleet is that large, the amount of energy lost to simple battery decay (for vehicles that are not left trickle charging all the time) gets pretty large. Seemed clear that it just wasn't going to happen.
Spot on! You got it 100% right. I've worked in dealerships for 20 years now and watched everything get more and more complicated and expensive and not really any better. Certainly not more desirable in my book. I wish we could get back to simple, robust, fun to drive vehicles that are easy to work on and maintain.
I have a 2015 LTX impala and a 2018 dodge 1500 - the work truck style. As few electronics and extras as possible. More than 90% repairable by someone with a box of tools and some time. I have to hunt for those types of cars but they exist. Usually fleet or work vehicle types.
I'm old enough to remember when solid state transistors were supposed to make cars more dependable and faster to repair. Honestly, it appears to me that they've made car harder and more expensive to repair. I don't know, for sure, whether that tech has made car more dependable or faster to repair. I suspect that they may have but overtime those have become so cheaply made that maybe not any more.
Fun fact: Here in the USA, the electric car charging stations aren't powered by the grid. They're powered by 2 banks of very quiet diesel generators concealed in a roofless structure adjacent to the charging stations. How green is that?

Great insight. I’ve never been so happy to be a gearhead. As newer cars just keep getting more expensive and more complicated, I’ve been buying older cars that have already depreciated, are still great transportation when properly maintained, and are simple and cheap to repair. Not to mention it’s just more fun to drive something that’s different from every other modern car you see on the road. The older I get, the more I appreciate older simpler things.
Agreed. However, the fuels, the roads, the infrastructure, will all be so heavily taxed that using this transportation will become impossible eventually also. They will stop us all.
Same situation yesterday(Sunday) when I tried to park at my local forest. Big sign saying “ Car Park Full”. Leaving cars awkwardly parked on verges , churning up the grass and mud.

I think you nailed it.

The only “lens” to view it through to make it make sense is someone was WANTING to crash the whole transportation industry.

If it was about the environment they would be prompt diesel engines that run on clean burning vegetable oil. The fact that running a vehicle on vegtables oil is ilegal just shows they don’t care at all about the environment and they just want to control us.

You are correct, Australia has lost all 4 car manufacturers and the government and the media just pretended it was a natural death and never reported the negative economic and social impact it had.
The day the last of those local plants closed was a happy day for Australian tax-payers and car drivers, just as it was for the British when British Leyland closed. Both countries became wealthier as a result.
Subsided how? Not as a cash handout, but by tax concessions. That's a tax that doesn't exist... It was exactly what the politicians and the media trumpeted out as over the space of 15 years over 20,000 jobs disappeared with no other industry to absorb this loss. And if you mention mining, your straight off the politicians note book again.Mining absorbed a total of fuckalll.
We were hollowed out it wasn't because of EVs. Lost manufacturing lost control of nearly all our infrastructure for energy, transport, water and communications on the basis we would all be better off. We are now controlled by Blackrock and Vanguard.
I am very delighted you have the humbleness to admit it was a mistake. Here in the US, everyone is so narcissistic they never admit it, as they desperately try to unload used EVs on dealers before the battery needs replacing. Rule of thumb: If the government or governments in lock-step are pushing something, you should do the exact opposite, or at least not participate.
There are two questions, are EV's worth buying, and can everyone drive EV'S? The first is a personal decision the second is impossible for the near future.
As of last Friday, Toyota have stopped all production of Evs . Also Nissan is doing the same in 6 weeks time, They are returning to Normal Engine production.
I've suspected this all along Geoff. The car manufacturers appear to have been bullied into building EV's which will eventually finish them off because they are not suitable for everyone. They seem hell bent on destroying everything that is good in our lives, just look at our essential steel industry. Carry on Geoff as you are, what we are being faced with is so wrong and is never acceptable.
the first thing Biden did when he came into office, stop new oil production, cancel the excel pipeline and double he price of fuel.and that was the puppets orders when he became president, from his masters the likes of blackrock
I’ve owned approximately 26 new cars since the 70’s from Mini’s to BMW’s, Honda's, Holdens and Fords my favourites being a Renault 220 Trophy and a WR32. I currently drive an MG4 one of the most fun cars I've owned.
You’ve been honest the whole way through and many feel exactly the same. It’s a crime to deny independence and freedom using misinformation and without a mandate. Thank you for voicing the sheer frustration and betrayal we all feel.
Seriously, autonomy? Give me a break. Everyone is just already doing what they're told. What to eat, what to wear, how to think.. You don't have any freedom or autonomy as it is. We are all like donkeys harnessed to a cart, we only have freedom within the yoke of the harness.
Bingo! Everything you’re saying is exactly what I believe and have been saying to anyone who’d listen. The WEF already said, “you will own nothing and be happy.” Furthermore, they’re putting legislation into place that’s making it more and more expensive to own a car. Finally, they’re really pushing the idea of having everyone live in smart cities which would make personal transportation absolute in order to “save the environment.”
Geoff, you have seen the light!! Luckily, the car firms are finding that the e.v. thing is a bust. As you have realised, that was always going to be the case. Most of them are backing off rapidly in their e,v. R&D, and manufacturing. They don't want to go out of business, and they will find an alternative, in fact many of them are doing work on alternatives to e.v.'s The fight is not over, it's just begun!! The overstuffed SUV's are part of the problem. "It's a bit windy Geoff".

my son just traded his tesla after one year ownership. took a $20k hit. electric cars for those who want them but don't try to force us into them! and you are correct we need affordable simplified vehicles. they can and did make 50 mpg hatchbacks.
@@brucebaum1458 no. he bought a toyota tundra. i did ask him if he would ever go electric again. he said no. he also mentioned that trade in value varied widely among the dealers. i didn't see him as an ev owner to begin with since he's always been a tuner type. he is married to what my wife and i would describe as a psycho so that could have also factored into his auto needs/choices.
Your son made a good decision. Especially if you live in a northern state, as we found out recently. EV's were useless in 0 degree weather. EV cars were stuck at the charging stations for a couple of days. The EV people had to get rides from their friends with gasoline powered cars. 😅
I have read. A lot of pilots have been forced to be jabbed and have died or have a serious heart conditions and have been grounded. So there is a shortage of pilots. The WEF pilots were not mandated to take the jab if they did they now don’t fly the elites to their Davis meetings.
Yep. American FAA is looking to include mentally unstable in training, in the name of "diversity". You'd think it's a complete joke, but here we are. Also, they're planning to introduce "carbon passports" for air travel, meaning there's definitely going to be many rules and conditions if you want to fly. Less and less freedoms to go around, and almost no one gives a sh!t.
China should start pushing the electric plane meme so that the big brain's over at Boeing HQ put a giant made in China lithium-ion battery in their next MAX product 😂. What could possibly go wrong? 🤔
I could never afford an EV, not just the purchase price but the repair and maintenance cost is astronomical. Thanks for helping us understand the EV issues.
YES! I have been saying this for about 3 years now. and thy tried the same thing with the airline industry with the shut down of travelling during covid.
Same situation here in California. We’re all supposed to plug in our cars by the year 2030, but no one is building any new power plants and we are already at capacity as it is. I think a lot of people are going to be walking and riding bikes like a Chinese coolie in the future.
Has anyone noticed that there are no ICE car adverts anymore, they’re all for EV’s - that nobody wants. Car manufacturers are really going to struggle in the future, as the government will fine them if they don’t sell enough EV’s. They’re planning for the industry to fail, big time.
I was shocked recently when an asian car manufacturer had the "audacity" to show an ad for a hybrid on TV. Shocked in the positive kind as it meant that EVs sell so poorly that even advertising them didn't make sense for that manufacturer anymore.
Well, if there are no car makers left, people can't buy cars, so they won't be able to own one, so won't be able to have freedom of movement. Locked into their 15m cities, relying 100% on public transport. Job done.
I haven't seen a non-EV car ad on TV for a long time now - I can't actually remember when infact. Saw my first BYD ad on TV last night too - for the Seal. The Chinese are here.
timhicks2154 No you are being to kind. Geoff has started to believe his own BS at the expence of the truth. He has become delluded. The problem he has is he can convince himself that any rubbish is truthfull, instead of seeing matters for what they are

Gas cars have approximately 200 parts that must be maintained while EVs have about 20, the EV is beautiful in its simplicity. As the price of lithium and batteries plummets lower, a new EV will soon be significantly cheaper than a gas car. Agree that governments should be ramping up infrastructure including charging stations and power plants of all kinds, especially nuclear and geothermal. We shouldn't wait until oil supplies go into decline to make this transition because we need oil for so many things including for plastic, agriculture, manufacturing, etc. Its in our best interest to transition to EVs for car transportation and save all that oil for the future. No one should be forced to buy an EV, its going to happen naturally for the majority of people over time because the cost savings will get extreme eventually (for both new car price as well as not paying for gas or maintenance on 200 parts).
Geoff you're spot on about the small petrol engined 6 speed car for £15 - £20k, that's why the Vauxhall Corsa petrol is selling so well. The first time a Vauxhall has ever topped the sales charts. 2nd hand values hold up well too. I'm totally baffled as to why Ford discontinued the Fiesta.
and the plant has been cleared to be put in protected wetlands. Previous developpers were not allowed to build there yet vw was cleared. Weird. An injunction was filed and construction halted
That is Canadian government to bring jobs to people in there country. I would say you need to look back on how much money gave Nissan for the Sunderland Plant. Or the Billions governments Pay oil companies.
I can’t believe how stupid the heads of the car manufacturers were to believe that EVs were the future, they all need to wake up and stand their ground and tell the governments of the world where to go.
Most automakers are owing the govts lots of money because of the Govt manufactured market crashes. They got them right where they want them. They have to do what they are told.
The power utility industry isn’t being expanded in a green manner at the same pace that will keep up with the charging requirements of everyone converting to EV cars by the date the Goverment plans to have everyone driving EV’s.
You can tell it's a Psy-Op because there is no discussion about poor and working class people who have no access to electricity outside. Many of them live in apartment complexes with no access to a garage or electricity to charge their cars.
Yes, spot on. Add to your observations: 1) the war on diesels following on from the disastrous Cameron term in No.10 (hyped up diesels only to vilify them when enough people had been tricked by subsidies to buy them,). 2) Current rapid and shocking deindustrialising of Germany, removing its economic power base. It’s all coming together, just as you say, Geoff.
Why are you defending Oil and Gas. 2 things Europe has very little of compared to the rest of the world and especially OPEC. Why are you not standing behind your own country, instead of supporting OPEC (Communist & Authoritarian governments.)
@@HermanWillems the UK sits on some of the best coal on earth. There is enough to power the UK for hundreds of years. Instead, we use energy controlled outside of the UK. We then pay a lot more. We also have gas too but here we are.

Or carbon credits, particularly the carbon credit bonds that the big banks and capital funds set up markets and operate..... with help from politicians and legislators....🤔 They are the proverbial money changers in the temple, doing "God's work" (serfdom for a fee 🤑😉).
A point many have missed is big oil have a vested interest in maintaining plentiful supplies of petroleum and diesel fuel and the government gets massive revenue from taxes on the sale of fuel. Internal combustion engines are here for a while folks.

"by 2030 you'll own NOTHING" ..... WEF/Klaus Schwab/King Charles .....and THEY damn well mean it
I told you this weeks ago designed to fail ,
breaking this story: Under an Energy Department rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality.
DC regulators kept a special EV subsidy related to this, a secret. Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets, and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making electric cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values. Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill and the headaches.
Now, the secret is out! After environmental groups pointed out the illegality of this charade, the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 efficiency multiplier for electric cars, recognizing that the number “lacks legal support,” and has “no basis.” Let’s not mince words -- this has a direct impact on a subsidy that indirectly and illegally taxes YOU, the people. Your taxes dollars are going directly into the pockets of these corporations for falsely complying arbitrarily set standards. Remember, you are the one paying for these subsidies.
Carmakers have panicked and asked the administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable.
The Journal noted this scandal is buried deep in the Federal Register-on page 36,987 of volume 65. Since the tax credits “lack legal support,” and have “no basis”, all the beneficiaries should have to return their illegal gains.
The biggest beneficiary is Tesla. This is where Tesla makes its profits. They sell the carbon credits to other brands that don’t make and sell enough EVs to meet the EPA standards. All other brands lose money on each electric vehicle.
It’s not known who exactly bought the credits and for how much, but they are sold to other car companies that missed out on emissions standards of the #california Air Resources Board.
Just to be clear, this is wrong morally, and likely is illegal if challenged in court. This is a massive scandal reminiscent of the diesel-emissions cheating that rocked #germany automakers.
This was the governments way of getting automakers on boards with EVs. Forcing them into compliance. Now the government is going to remove this EV factor and implode automakers because they will not be able to comply with the EPA's regulations.
This inflated figure is not simply a boastful statistic. It serves as a conduit for carmakers to accumulate compliance credits, which can then be traded for cash. This issue remained largely invisible to the public eye until recently, when environmental groups brought its illegality into the spotlight.
The whole Carbon Credit scam was not created for Tesla, it was created to get consumers to buy electric vehicles. The timing of this revelation is suspicious. Suddenly the government is not a fan of Elon Musk, is this a coincidence, we shall see.
So who actually knew about this? The government must have known when they created the program, did car manufacturers know about the scam too? It's the old question: what did they know and when did they know it. Watch the Tort bar, I’m sure they are already on this scam. They'll have a field day with this because there are lots of big pockets to dip into.
Did you buy an electric car? Next you’ll be hearing commercials about class action law suits.

I live in Norway, and we have traditionally (always) had huge taxes on cars. Our government removed all taxes on EVs so that they became as cheap or cheaper than petrol cars. That was 15 years ago. Now, they're slowly increasing taxes again, but the problem is there's almost no petrol or diesel cars for sale anymore. So when there's only EVs for sale, and they're taxed all the way up, and a Model 3 has a starting price of £100K, we're all going to be taking the bus, which is also electric and unreliable.

Just keep doing videos about news and new things coming out about EVs and talk about the other side of it with comparable ICE vehicles.
I almost bought a new Nissan Versa that is capable of 40 mpg on the highway and cost under 20,000 dollars US.
I researched and found out that they are one of the last vehicles that are still port injected and the engine tech is simple and durable like it was in basically 2010.
They just doubled the injector count and tweaked the engine.
They still sell them in a 5 speed manual or a CVT.
I could not get my wife to buy the manual trans for her, she did not want it.
I am hesitant to buy a Chain drive CVT and all of the maintenance headaches to make it last long enough to equal the engine longevity.
Point was that you can still get a basic gas economy car for half the cost of an EV and about equal cost to drive it long distance or in town if someone cannot charge at home.

To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

They also said we would run out of oil. The US had its highest production just recently. They lie about everything.
Also there are not enough power plants to charge that amount of EVs either. And I don't even speak about power lines and charging stations. Also all the EV afficionados forgot to read the small characters and they were astonished to discover that Lithium batteries don't want to charge below freezing temperatures. Who knew?
15minute cities only need golf carts not a $100,000 vehicle.
There was a ton of research demonstrating how people without all their basic needs located in their immediate area were economically disadvantaged - ‘food deserts’ being the main example. Now, when the municipalities are trying to offer that as the basic standard of living (basic needs in 15 minutes) it’s painted as a social control experiment. Jeez…imagine…a family not needing 1-2-3 or even 4 cars @ a carrying cost of $10k each per year to live your life. Or that your kids don’t have to ride a bus for 30+ minutes each way to get to high school … maybe they could actually ride a bike on a protected bike lane (costing a fraction of the cost of a road) and stay physically fit doing so and getting fresh air every day. So sure, I could see owning 1 car for some longer range & out of the way trips. But for everything else, a ‘15 min city’ with real vibrant neighborhoods and long distance transit (bus, plane, train) for most other travel sounds pretty darn good.
And yes, we have our EV, but we also have a large ICE SUV. The EV is great at what it does, but I’m not saying ‘it’s the only option’ for everyone at all times ‘cause clearly it is not. But it is a tool and like all tools, where it’s fits, it’s hard to beat. Hammers make for bad screwdrivers, and visa versa.
15 minute cities are just open air prisons. That dystopia will never happen. I've never lived anywhere that my wife and I could both walk 15 minutes to work.

Fuel injection is not one bit cleaner for the environment or more efficient than the older carbureted engines. They are just more complicated and cost so much more to maintain. Cars today are designed to just outlive the warranty and then become so expensive to keep on the road. A typical 10 years old car is ready to scrap and a 5 year old car is still going to cost you a lot to buy and you will be putting money into it as long as you own it. It's a trap. You have money invested in it and now it's going to cost you more. But you still owe money on it. Or you just bought it 6 months ago and now it needs a $3000 transmission. I drive junk for traveling back and forth to work and my truck is a 1981 Chevy pickup. I had it for over 30 years and I live in the rust belt. It will out live me. It will still be going down the road years after I'm gone. Meanwhile. Trucks that were built 10 or 12 years ago are rusted out and worn out.
Not really to damage carmakers, but to redistribute that money from carmakers and buyers to their "friends" that will benefit from their investments in the whole global warming debacle and benefit once more from shorting when time comes to sell.

Toyota is one step ahead of you. They have been very cautious about EVs (despite being the biggest driver of the adoption of hybrids) and continue to make simple, reliable cars for countries all over the world - not just western nations.
Yep Toyota is going to steel so much market share. Use look at the wait list for the Prius a car people actually want to buy.
Toyota is pricing themselves out of the market.
Hybrids are a good idea as transition/alternative product in the market and rightfully priced at a premium compared to the base model. Not much to adjust from the motorists' side too. Toyota is serious about alternatives and has also been developing hydrogen and not putting all eggs in one basket. All the while their ICE vehicles are still in the market.
Toyota prez said best possible case is EV's are 30% of market
Toyota is actually in the process of making / pushing HYDROGEN powered motors..
"EV" has Always been BS. [I've been in industries dealing w/ Batteries for like 3 decades - I Get It]
People are gullible and Will Fall For Anything.
There's ZERO possibility to charge properly, there's not nearly enough natural resources for said batteries,
the bat cost is extremely expensive, their waste is Much Worse.. I can keep going on and on and on..

This is what I've been telling people for years. To switch everyone to EVs they need to start building infrastructure including nuclear power plants yesterday. Why aren't they? Because they don't want everyone to have a car. They want you to live in their 15 minute cities.

Switching to EV is a great idea but the execution sucks, just like Brexit. "Never Attribute to Malice That Which is Adequately Explained by Stupidity." - Hanlon’s razor
Their 15 minute cities - which also don't exist and around have been under construction a decade ago...

Only 5% of the populace in a big city woupd be able to afford the rent. There's already a MAAAAAASSSSSSIVE housing affordability and availability shortage ya cluckin duh mash

You nailed it brother!!!! We all ( mostly) want governments and ngo's to leave us uncumbered to each live our lives in accordance with our own ideas, faith and ways which are unique to each family
Worked this out ages ago.
The other trap is size of vehicle for parking costs.
I could never understand why there was no outcry from the petrol companies about the elimination of ICE vehicles and the destruction of their industry.
It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
There will always be a market for their products, it's just not going to be here, if the politicians get their way.
three reasons: regulation, subsidies, and regulation
If the EU can pay farms not to farm, it's reasonable to suggest the closely affiliated WEF can pay car manufacturers not to car...
Bingo.
I'm 71 and a retired engineer. In all my years, I don't think I've ever seen such a supposedly innovative product bought to market with such an obvious lack of R&D and market research. All of the issues that have come to light since EVs have been foisted on the public, would have been identified under any normal, rigorous R&D programme. And from the market research side of things, did nobody ask anyone if they would want to buy a 1) vehicle that costs more, 2) takes much longer to refuel, 3) will go less distance on that refuel, and that distance will probably halve in really cold weather, 4) will cost more to insure 5) will depreciate like a stone...........the list goes on. It seems none of the aforementioned happened, because, if they had done their due diligence, EVs would never have got to market.........
It's not a product, it's a religious symbol.
In addition to run time halving, you forgot to mention how, in one US State where they had a freeze, EV wouldn't charge AT ALL.
I'm a working engineer and have driven 100,000 miles in electric cars commuting to work. Every 10k miles I save £1000 compared to the most efficient diesel car. Electric has it's issues but I wouldn't go back to diesel. Electric is fast fun and cheaper to run!

Nailed it. EVs BS. Climate change BS. Health and satety BS.
Totally agree. It always was about control.
I realized a few years ago that the intent wasn't to get people to switch from ice cars to evs but to get them out of cars altogether. If they were serious about switching there would have been a panic to get power delivery infrastructure and baseload power generation (hydro,nuclear, gas, coal) ready. Where I live I saw no concern at all. Both federal and state governments knew it wasn't going to happen.
They don't even have to ban cars now, they're just 4king with them by making them ugly, soulless and annoying, and ultimately very very difficult to want. There's masses of people cancelling their Range Rover orders because of the removal of physical buttons.
@@newtonshiggers I don’t want a touch screen in my car. Ok for sat nav maybe but not for controls used on the move. We have to pay big money and get a car with cr** we don’t need or want.
I figured out the baseload thing about 20 years ago. By rough back-of-envelope calculations, it looked like we would need to quadruple our level of electrical generation to make it workable. The US has something around 100+ million vehicles that get driven on an almost daily basis. Even worse, when a hypothetical EV fleet is that large, the amount of energy lost to simple battery decay (for vehicles that are not left trickle charging all the time) gets pretty large. Seemed clear that it just wasn't going to happen.
Spot on! You got it 100% right. I've worked in dealerships for 20 years now and watched everything get more and more complicated and expensive and not really any better. Certainly not more desirable in my book. I wish we could get back to simple, robust, fun to drive vehicles that are easy to work on and maintain.
Like the Toyota IMV Zero. Starts out at $10,000 and is customizable by design.
I have a 2015 LTX impala and a 2018 dodge 1500 - the work truck style. As few electronics and extras as possible. More than 90% repairable by someone with a box of tools and some time. I have to hunt for those types of cars but they exist. Usually fleet or work vehicle types.
Bring back the Cortina!
Makes me really miss the Nissan's and Toyota's of the 80s and 90s....
I'm old enough to remember when solid state transistors were supposed to make cars more dependable and faster to repair. Honestly, it appears to me that they've made car harder and more expensive to repair. I don't know, for sure, whether that tech has made car more dependable or faster to repair. I suspect that they may have but overtime those have become so cheaply made that maybe not any more.
I laugh every time California asks people not to charge their cars. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: Here in the USA, the electric car charging stations aren't powered by the grid. They're powered by 2 banks of very quiet diesel generators concealed in a roofless structure adjacent to the charging stations. How green is that?
Bull! Where is that!

Great insight. I’ve never been so happy to be a gearhead. As newer cars just keep getting more expensive and more complicated, I’ve been buying older cars that have already depreciated, are still great transportation when properly maintained, and are simple and cheap to repair. Not to mention it’s just more fun to drive something that’s different from every other modern car you see on the road. The older I get, the more I appreciate older simpler things.
Agreed. However, the fuels, the roads, the infrastructure, will all be so heavily taxed that using this transportation will become impossible eventually also. They will stop us all.

I think you nailed it. I worked in the automotive industry for 15 years and this extreme pressure and artificial deadlines to hit arbitrary goals never made sense from an economic / technology standpoint.
The only “lens” to view it through to make it make sense is someone was WANTING to crash the whole transportation industry. If this was really about reducing emissions we would have been promoting affordable hybrids.

You are correct, Australia has lost all 4 car manufacturers and the government and the media just pretended it was a natural death and never reported the negative economic and social impact it had.
You have your own Geoff in Austrailia hes called John Cardogen.
In Oz the taxpayer was subsidising each new car to the tune of Au$12,000.
The day the last of those local plants closed was a happy day for Australian tax-payers and car drivers, just as it was for the British when British Leyland closed. Both countries became wealthier as a result.
Subsided how? Not as a cash handout, but by tax concessions. That's a tax that doesn't exist... It was exactly what the politicians and the media trumpeted out as over the space of 15 years over 20,000 jobs disappeared with no other industry to absorb this loss. And if you mention mining, your straight off the politicians note book again.Mining absorbed a total of fuckalll.
We were hollowed out it wasn't because of EVs. Lost manufacturing lost control of nearly all our infrastructure for energy, transport, water and communications on the basis we would all be better off. We are now controlled by Blackrock and Vanguard.
I am very delighted you have the humbleness to admit it was a mistake. Here in the US, everyone is so narcissistic they never admit it, as they desperately try to unload used EVs on dealers before the battery needs replacing.
Rule of thumb: If the government or governments in lock-step are pushing something, you should do the exact opposite, or at least not participate.
There are two questions, are EV's worth buying, and can everyone drive EV'S? The first is a personal decision the second is impossible for the near future.

Gas cars have approximately 200 parts that must be maintained while EVs have about 20, the EV is beautiful in its simplicity. As the price of lithium and batteries plummets lower, a new EV will soon be significantly cheaper than a gas car. Agree that governments should be ramping up infrastructure including charging stations and power plants of all kinds, especially nuclear and geothermal. We shouldn't wait until oil supplies go into decline to make this transition because we need oil for so many things including for plastic, agriculture, manufacturing, etc. Its in our best interest to transition to EVs for car transportation and save all that oil for the future. No one should be forced to buy an EV, its going to happen naturally for the majority of people over time because the cost savings will get extreme eventually (for both new car price as well as not paying for gas or maintenance on 200 parts).
Geoff you're spot on about the small petrol engined 6 speed car for £15 - £20k, that's why the Vauxhall Corsa petrol is selling so well. The first time a Vauxhall has ever topped the sales charts. 2nd hand values hold up well too. I'm totally baffled as to why Ford discontinued the Fiesta.
The Canadian gov have just GIVEN 30 billion taxpayers dollars to battery plants, sickening.
and the plant has been cleared to be put in protected wetlands. Previous developpers were not allowed to build there yet vw was cleared. Weird. An injunction was filed and construction halted
With whose money !!!
That is Canadian government to bring jobs to people in there country.
I would say you need to look back on how much money gave Nissan for the Sunderland Plant.
Or the Billions governments Pay oil companies.
How will they feel when they find out there is no plant growing batteries?
Not government- mafia.
I can’t believe how stupid the heads of the car manufacturers were to believe that EVs were the future, they all need to wake up and stand their ground and tell the governments of the world where to go.
They're all in 'the club'. It's part of 'the plan'.
@@SaltyShamanYes, the factories will close and everyone, apart from maybe the CEO, can go and get fucked.
Its not all governments only those with a Western way of life .its about control and control is power
Most automakers are owing the govts lots of money because of the Govt manufactured market crashes. They got them right where they want them. They have to do what they are told.
We all need to do that.
The power utility industry isn’t being expanded in a green manner at the same pace that will keep up with the charging requirements of everyone converting to EV cars by the date the Goverment plans to have everyone driving EV’s.
You can tell it's a Psy-Op because there is no discussion about poor and working class people who have no access to electricity outside. Many of them live in apartment complexes with no access to a garage or electricity to charge their cars.
then build the infra. like we did with cars when we got rid of the horse. and ye people that about this , guessing you just pretend to not hear it
Yes, spot on. Add to your observations: 1) the war on diesels following on from the disastrous Cameron term in No.10 (hyped up diesels only to vilify them when enough people had been tricked by subsidies to buy them,). 2) Current rapid and shocking deindustrialising of Germany, removing its economic power base. It’s all coming together, just as you say, Geoff.
Why are you defending Oil and Gas. 2 things Europe has very little of compared to the rest of the world and especially OPEC. Why are you not standing behind your own country, instead of supporting OPEC (Communist & Authoritarian governments.)
@@HermanWillems the UK sits on some of the best coal on earth. There is enough to power the UK for hundreds of years. Instead, we use energy controlled outside of the UK. We then pay a lot more. We also have gas too but here we are.
I get it with the diesel thing!
So
Could this be a conspiracy against Germany to destroy their car market ?
If so Im cool with that maybe as revenge for Brexit to damage the EU ?
Question-
How do we them sock it to the barstead ungrateful French ?
Now it makes even more sense to buy an old car and look after it. If what you say is true this country will mirror Cuban cars in the future.
No, they will create a law that makes it illegal to drive a 10+ y.o. These people are satanic.
Ever heard of licensing? License is used to force you to comply with gub'ment wishes (demands). Whether it's a Dr or lawyer, hair dresser or license on your car. If you don't do what the gub'ment demands , no license for u.
As will all countries.
Insurance companies will decide...
@@firstname6208 the first part of licencing is to make the activity illegal. The second part is to provide some people with immunity to that law with a bit of paper called a licence.
You are spot on. We must fight these overreaching parasites with all we have.
As an early adopter investing heavily in the "best" of electric motorcycles and a German outboard motor, I'm now stuck with a bunch of lithium landfill. Glad I learned my lesson with bikes and boats before getting stung with a much more expensive Tesla.
Brilliant commentary. You nailed it. This is what the world needs to know.
Thank you for saying what was plain to see for many years. EV's, even Tesla, do not exist without government subsidies.
Or carbon credits, particularly the carbon credit bonds that the big banks and capital funds set up markets and operate..... with help from politicians and legislators....🤔
They are the proverbial money changers in the temple, doing "God's work" (serfdom for a fee 🤑😉).
Makes you wonder whether Elon has been part of the cabal all along, as many suspected.
There is no UK Government subsidy for Tesla's.
government subsidies = your taxes + printing your fiat currency into worthlessness .
@@stephenbirchall941and they certainly don’t require the US subsidy either.
A point many have missed is big oil have a vested interest in maintaining plentiful supplies of petroleum and diesel fuel and the government gets massive revenue from taxes on the sale of fuel. Internal combustion engines are here for a while folks.
