Amazon just started a delivery van war
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Rivian was riding high last year with help from Amazon. News broke that the online retailer had invested over $1 billion into the fledgling EV truck maker. But Rivian's stratospheric IPO took a big hit this January when Amazon announced a new delivery van partnership with Stellantis. What does this deal mean for Rivian? Are there any upsides? We'll find out.

As an Amazon last mile delivery driver for a little over a year, I can confirm that the RAM Promaster is a heaping pile of junk.
What do you want, it is a fiat
@@SAMFEYTENS37 is not a mopar is a subpar.
@@crazeguy26 your mopars are not built by americans, so why even care? Americans demand high pay, so its cheaper to hire foreigners who work harder.
@@Ben-mw9vz get bent
Well, it is a Chrysler/Fiat so that’s too be expected. Source: FCA technician.
As someone who delivers packages for Amazon and has driven the prime Ram vans and ford transits, the ford transits win hands down. Much higher quality all around and you can tell whoever designed it thought a lot about the people who were going to be using it
Thank you for this insight, little things like this are helpful when you're in the market for one of those vans. What didnt you like about the RAM?
@@Squab27 ram/chrysler quality is down the shitter. While the GM does have a touchscreen the actual quality of the screen is garbage. Compare that to the Ford which has a much higher quality nicer looking display. This means that the rearview camera on the Ford is much clearer and better looking. The rearview camera by contrast is garbage on the Ram compared to the ford.
The ford also has more conveniently located cupholders, A much nicer stereo, and a higher quality interior. Both interiors are made of plastic but the Ford does a better job at making it feel less cheap and more durable.
The Ford engine is also really good I actually like the way the Ram shifts at lower speeds but the actual quality and durability of a Ram is trash. The Ford will last a lot longer. the display on the speedometer on the ford also looks really nice and is easy and intuitive to use.
I drove one of our prime Ram vans yesterday and it he buttons missing from the center console (hazard light buttons and more!), and the rear latch to open up the left door on the back was gone so I couldn’t open up the left side door. The side door on the ram also takes and obscene amount of force to slam it shut. It’s just a pain in the ass.
The transit seats don’t even adjust up and down. The metal is thinner on the body, which is going to rust through quicker than all other vans. (I build camper vans in all platforms and cut holes in them constantly. I know this for a fact) The handling is atrocious, and the body roll in 20 mph wind feels like you’re going around a racetrack. The field of view is terrible over the front end. The dash is too tall, and since you can’t raise the seat, if you’re anywhere near 6’0 or over you’re going to have your knees hovering all day.
If you’re in the market for a van go drive all of them. Don’t take anyone’s advice. It’s plain and simple going to fall down to your budget in the first place and what you deem worth your money but, at least do yourself a favor and drive all of them.
well the Ram is a Fiat so ...
How about GM or Nissan Full sized vans?
So awesome to see this video from my favorite channel after driving the Rivian for work today. The only thing I have to say is, unless the larger manufacturers do more than just electrify their existing models, I hope that Amazon prioritizes Rivian going forward. These vans are built precisely for what we do and it is miles beyond the standard vans in every way, especially when it comes to ergonomics. No aches after a couple long shifts is new to me!
So obviously you have not driven a step van, the Rivians are just 1970's step vans, which ARE great compared to the totally inappropriate use of plumbers van for doing delivery.
As a fleet mechanic that services some of the delivery vans for an Amazon facility, I'm really excited to see the electric versions come out. It's also just going to give the drivers another thing to complain about, and those guys really already don't get paid enough. (Remember guys, be kind to your delivery drivers. They're third party so amazon doesn't take care of them as well as they should.)
Ik man I'm one of them
Ima bouta quit . Been their for 1 month wack asf
I’m curious what you see as far as problems on Sprinters vs Transits
@DJ Ness I agree, that’s crazy. There’s driving by the book and then there’s real world driving. Insisting that you drive the way someone THINKS it SHOULD be and forcing your driving to differ from normal is more dangerous and simply stupid. I don’t want you guys blasting through stop signs either, but that’s clearly not what you’re complaining about.
@@TobyCostaRicasprinters are overall the best ,the transits have the best transmissions ,and the pro masters have the best turning radius . That’s just my opinion based on the vans I’ve delivered in.
You did a great job connecting the dots on this one, Nolan. Makes no sense for a company the size of Amazon to have a single (brand new) source for delivery vehicles. Nothing really changes for Rivian.
Except now you can "buy low" and watch that stock revaluate over time. Call it a stock investor's second chance.
@@DocWolph Yup, buy and hold boys, buy and hold
People are so short sighted when it comes to huge companies like Amazon. It’s like how people act like Jeff Bezos is making all the decisions for the company. There are a lot of people involved in these decisions. Diversity in delivery vehicles is not only smart, it has to happen in case there are major problems with one of the brands.
Thanks for this comment. Just saved me 10 minutes.
@Damar Fadlan 23 minutes? Its a 10 minute video..
Hope this means van life builds get even crazier. Either with EVs or with the loads of old fleet vans put out to pasture. 🤞
the turnover on those gas vans is pretty quick, there's a reason people generally don't buy them used. They're completely wrecked after like 3-5 years, constant top-start is really hard on the drivetrains. That being said, used EV delivery vans in 5-10 years could be a really good option because they don't suffer the same way from start-stop driving
Don't worry. It wont.
OnlyVans
@@joyfuflower Too bad in 5 to 10 years time they will be due for battery replacement which will seriously hinder any resale value. Batteries do not seem to depreciate which is another reason why gas vans will be around longer
@@joyfuflower Our fleet vans are pretty much totaled after 30k miles. They get beat up daily.
Every high profile IPO that I've seen has followed that same trajectory. If you don't hit those stocks as soon as they open and get lucky enough to sell at the peak in the first week then you better plan on holding on for a while.

I got fucked with trump's stock. Hate the cock. But I put a few quid on it easy, then sold for stupid profit. Then later bought in when it dropped... This time it hasn't ever been in the green again. Fuck.
The stock market is rigged against retail traders anyway. Everyone should read up on recent scandals. Don't trust hedge fund owned media outlets. DYOR and hedge accordingly.
Most companies have a whole bunch of venture capitalists who've invested since day one, long before the IPO. Once the shares hit the market and everyone is buying, the price skyrockets. Once the price skyrockets people start feeling fear of missing out, so they throw aside all of their research and buy overvalue because their shares aren't filling at market price. Once it gets crazy high the venture capitalists unload their shares and make an insane profit. With the price dump off many retail traders get scared that they overpaid and end up selling theirs too out of fear, further driving down the price. Then the VCs turn around and invest in 10 more pre-IPO companies with their profits and repeat the process again.
@@Its-Just-Gizmo Facebook ,love it it hate it who cares but getting in on that at like 29$ was nice.

Honestly Nolan, I enjoy seeing some episodes of wheelhouse that focuses on the car industry and markets. I’ve learned a lot from you guys.
I'm currently in my Amazon work van and just saying, we already have all the cameras and sensors for the traffic lights, speed limits, distance between cars, eye tracking, and even face tracking (we cant look down)and even seeing if we have a phone in our hand or if we're looking at our phones too. All of this is constantly on and if we do something wrong and it picks it up it then affects our scores.
Amazon is a family, and Jeff Bezos is your big brother.
Ouch bro I’m a UPS driver, we can basically do whatever we want lol

@@Jimbeamlahey tech can't help shitty drivers lol..
This all reminds me so much about how my initial CDL training and beginning trucking company Prime and Success Leasing operates. I think Rivian may end up being the Kenworth and Peterbilt of the van makers. A premium option that is desired by drivers. But could be more expensive to lease/purchase.

Who will be the volvo?
Not could be. Would be. Batteries cost more than a beater truck that runs great.
Check out this company called tusimple in San Diego! They have autopilot semi trucks that drive themselves!! And they already sold self driving trucks to DHL. Tusimple is a great stick to buy and is the future!
@@Paper.Power.Politics screw self driving semi trucks.
I'd call the stock drop is more a correction. That initial bump is usual but the drops afterwards are normal
Aaand this correction is not rivian specific.
The Rivians are clearly very sought after, so I don't think the company has too much to worry about. I'd get one myself if they were a bit less expensive, and actually available.
Love that we are getting a new Electric DeLorean this year too!
Love this but seriously hate the beeping of cockpit
@six💘💋 The fuck you doin, if you're lookin for love use Tinder or somethin.
Blame YT content Bots.
Lol it’s supposed to be funny
I’ve honestly been enjoying a tiny bit of finance in the Donut roster. Really broadens the content here, and it’s a major resource for learning about certain decisions auto makers are making.
So how did that investment advice work out for you ? I did the inverse and I 10x my puts .. this was a shameless promotion paid by Rivian and it fooled you ! Ha made me rich Fuck this company make some more click bait fools
exactly. seeing how the market reacts to these factors has become one of the most interesting aspects of watching car videos for me.
The city of Munich (Germany) upped their prices for EV charging. By nearly 100%. The dream is soon to be over.
Finally some truth in here wow these baby bulls got whipped out
Das passiert wenn man alle Atomkraftwerke abschaltet und sich auf Russland verlässt.
Aber auch Länder mit Atomkraft haben steigende Preise. Mein Kumpel hat mir gestern erzählt das er jetzt 15c kWh zahlen muss, als ich noch in Finnland gelebt habe war es 6c kWh.
Rivian is a legit company. I’ve seen multiple pickup trucks here in the Richmond Virginia area. They look pretty cool in person.
It just sucks they look like garbage cans and are built with cheap recycled materials
I been Amazon driver for 3 years and these drivers are gonna tear this van up its gonna be good when its new but long term it isnt gonna last 8-10 hour shifts 7 days a week.
I was watching auction you tube channels, and they had promasters with 90,000miles on it. That seems low but like you said Kevin, imagine how many deliveries that made a day 7 days a week. Insane.
Yeah what I was thinking luckily current Amazon vans are pretty reliable between the transit and sprinter and occasionally the promaster
I actually like the car stocks/investments. Helps teach me more about that stuff, while staying on the topic of automotive, and explained by Donut. Very enjoyable.
I was surprised to see a Rivian in person, but it was already damaged. Spotted in February, northern Cali
How did that work out for you ? You bouht at $65 when they made video. ? Do t folow investment advice from paid you tubers this is sus im make this and issue for them this is illegal
I really hope rivian doesn’t die, they make some genuinely great trucks and I’m fully in support of them
Rivian will survive if bought

As someone who has worked in the Normal rivian plant for a little over the year, not only can I say the vans and r1's have come a long way, but I can also day I hope the company continues to grow not only bc I wanna keep my job but bc I'd like the potential of getting my own r1t (or whatever future model is available)
Don't stop with covering the markets! You guys are a great resource when it comes to understanding what's going on.
“New gen van” it’s a Fiat Ducato from 2006 😂

@@SAMFEYTENS37 accurate 😂
I’ll counter and say it’s a Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Relay too 😂
@@joshuaaaron125 in belgium do we have the Citroën jumper
@@SAMFEYTENS37 it's technically made by a sub-company called "SEVEL". They have a plant in Italy and one in France iirc where they make the Jumper, Boxer and Ducato
@@mrkei5871 makes sense as the glass in my work van is stamped SEVEL
In the netherlands whenever i order something off *Amazon* , i usually see Nissan EV minivans at my door.
Theyre always clean, brand new, and ecofriendly. *PostNL* uses Length3height3 diesel Merc or VW vans, but sometimes surprises me with some hippie on a threewheel bicycle 🤗
Whenever *DHL* comes its usually some rando in civillian clothes driving a stained white lenght3height3 (standart size terms for van dimensions) with as many dents in it as cubic inches in the engine. And a ratlling diesel powerhouse that renders anything behind it ashy vulcanic grey color.
I deliver for Amazon. I like Mercedes’ because the key is a keyfob and I can keep the van running while not worrying about the doors locking
You can do that with the Ford too as long as you hit the unlock button on the inside of door while it’s running BEFORE you open any door. All the doors will stay unlocked while it’s running.
I don't always agree with Amazon, but I do acknowledge that they are doing amazing things in terms of pushing technology forward.
"The year of our Lord 2022" - Thank you for maintaining that terminology!
That stellantis van is ancient tho… these have been driving around as the Peugeot boxer since 2006 with minor facelifts…
Not to mention the number of engines used in the vans over the years. I've noticed when comparing the offerings people say the Peugeot/Citroen variant to be better than the Fiat/Ram version, as it is cheaper and much faster than other new vans on the market.
As Peugeot boxer , fiat Ducato and Citroen jumper
@@c3mmi4_h0lm4s my dad had a not so great experience with Citroën's offering, the Jumper, some years ago. He was terribly disappointed by the reliability. You can say everything bad you want about Fiat, and you would be mostly right, but they know how to make good engines
Electric vehicles still mined and produced with good ole gas and oil. Never giving up on my fuel injected. I like being able to go 500+ miles in a day. In a fast moving world sometimes you just gotta get it and get there not plan to plug in half way there for the night.
Yeah, everything does. It’s a bit naïve however for you to think we won’t have 500 to 1000 mile electric cars in the future. ICE cars will still be around for the people that enjoy them. Not a requirement for the people that just want to get to work. Jay Leno in my opinion has the best take on electric cars. He equates it to when horses were replace and industries flourished for the enthusiastic recreation as it became a pleasure not a requirement.
Donut made a video explaining that EV's are still using less CO2 than gas powered cars, with the Produktion CO2 Footprint of both included. And the lucid air can drive 600 miles or something like that, so EV's will soon overtake the range of gas powered cars.
@@konradasplytnikas2595 yes I saw that video too. Their not using electric vehicles to mine the material used in evs. 70% of green energy still relies on gas and oil. Worked in both industries, wish the green energy push would be more honest with the public.
@@lawnmowerdude California can’t even keep up with its power requirements for its populous has mandatory blackouts. Hard to charge your daily when you have no power. That being said I do like where Solar and hydro is going. Anything to help the world out that can eventually operate on its own I’m down for.
Summary: investors speculate like headless chickens. They panic over nothing often sinking smaller companies and burning small investing individuals in their wake. Even well reasoned moves trigger panic sellings of stocks.
An estimated >90% of all stock transactions are totally automated and happen on a usec time scale, so maybe their algorithms panic?
So do the journalists about the longevity of the batteries and charging stations.
@@tedmich Indeed it's a grift with nothing but profit at its goal with almost no benefit to society overall. Doesn't sound as bad on paper but as you said the problem is that the high frequency automated trading spends zero computing cycles factoring the negative economic impact it might cause companies and other investors. it only cares that its turning a profit in the short term. Its how the stock market does its harm it syphons wealth while not really helping companies achieve any sort of long term stability plus it creates a marked conflict of interest where companies are more interested in pleasing faceless investors than serving its original customers.
It seems that stock speculators have a large amount more influence than true investors.
@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis This is a growing problem especially so after 2014 when inexplicably high valuations started showing up in droves. (Apple along with Google and anything tech related was valued impossibly far past its assets true value, It created such a huge discrepancy in the markets tha huge multinational companies with billions in physical assets got dwarfed in a flash. People abd smaller companies lose a ton of money when such speculations happen.
7:55 I miss having knobs to turn for climate control, not because I'm a 56-year-old man (only 48 thank you very much), but because they are tactile and I can find and operate them without taking my eyes off the road. This is why when I purchased my latest vehicle, a Hyundai Santa Cruz, I chose the SEL Premium trim level instead of the Limited.
Yeah some things on these EV's are needlessly over engineered. No knobs is one. Another are the handles that pop out. What do I do when my truck freezes over? Am I locked out of my truck because the motors can't push through the ice?
Ngl donut, I'd love to see more offroad content of yall actually experiencing it and having fun. The high low taco build videos were awesome. Got reminded of it by the shirt ad. Thanks James.
This is how Nolan can save himself from a big hit on his Rivian stocks LMAO
I was an Amazon driver and i wonder if delivery routes will get shorter. There's no way these boys will last the 10 hour shifts.
How long were your routes usually? I was thinking the same thing
I wish I were an amazin driver. I'm just barely adequate.
@Speed Racer 2, Please im in san diego and my routes were usually 170 stops. At least once a week i would get 190 but it never dropped below 150.

I own a body shop in Jersey and have an extra parking lot that I don’t use. Amazon is paying me to park their vans at my shop in exchange for them paying storage and bringing those vans to me for body work. I am RAKING in cash. I could refuse every other customer right now and I’m still near what I was with maximum occupancy during the winter profit wise
Imagine being an overworked and underpaid Amazon driver in your company van full of cameras and voice recognition tech that are timing your toilet breaks and listening for any hint of the word "union".
The sad part is that I can't tell if you're joking. Life is turning into some sci-fi novel where everyone works for one of three companies.
We really do need a union but I don't see it being possible.

It requires money to make money this is the best secert I have ever heard we don’t make money we make multiple money.
There are platform where you can invest and they trade your money. Then pay you profit either weekly or monthly. That's investing.
Hey! I want in on your scheme. Slide into my DMs so we can discuss how much you'll pay me to shill.
Didn't expect to hear "THE YEAR OF OUR LORD" when I clicked a Donut video.
0:33 so, most of those Amazon gas/diesel powered vans will be on the market for van-lifers .....
Fleet maintained can mean well documented regular maintenance which is good. But just remember the stop and go/ idling of deliveries causes Much more wear and tear than highway miles.
I work at a shop that services all the Amazon vehicles in my area. All they do is change the oil and drive them until they blow up. Wouldn't recommend
In my heart, the statement "be kind" will always be followed by "rewind".
Can't wait till these used vans hit the market. Even if they arent for sale, spare parts will be all the cheaper and more plentiful on these platforms and their base vehicles/ engines.
Love these videos as a car person and admire the production as a creator 💯🔥

HUGE mistake investing in the ram promasters - these things are junk that fall apart before they even get to dealers
the fiat ducato\promaster is one of the most successful delivery vans worldwide. sprinter, transit and promaster have killed the US domestic vans already.
"Rivian didn't put gimmicks in the truck!"
"OMG HEARTBEAT BLINKERS"
Electric Ram vans. I just really like the way ram van sounds.
Last time I was this early, Stradman was still living in his Audi TT...
lol :D
I drive for Amazon and the Prime Rams and Sprinters are awful to drive. Also doesn't help that the GPS provided for delivering makes me want to put the van into a telephone pole.
I fell in love (or at least hard lust) with the Rivian while watching Ewan McGregor’s “Long Way Up.” I was praying at the time that Rivian would eventually deliver an SUV or wagon, as the only cargo I haul around are Irish Wolfhounds. I’ve ordered a R1S and am very excited for delivery.
I'm from Bloomington/Normal. I remember when Rivian bought the old Mitsubishi plant. Other than a "What the heck is a Rivian?" statement, I literally paid no mind to it until I saw Long Way Up. I was blown away with those Rivian prototypes. Seriously. And now, I'm an employee of Rivian.
@@janetschaar8374 That is an awesome trajectory!
Yeah I’m an Amazon delivery driver and currently driver a diesel Mercedes sprinter 2500 and I love the way they sound
I would call Vivian's stock price slide more of a market correction than anything else. EV automakers like Tesla and rivian are insanely overvalued compared to their more traditional peers, and sometimes it takes a jolt like Amazon partnering with Stellantis to make delivery vans, for people to wake up.
They clearly don't have hiring standards, this year alone 2 drivers have run over my mailbox and one of them slammed into the guardrail on my bridge ripping the anchor bolts up from the concrete 🙄

Well done Rivian with the R1T, that's how you make an EV that you want ppl that don't like EVS to buy because that's hot and super impressive. Even looks like it drives nice.
To expensive
@@jamesocker5235 I know, but that’s how you start a car business, as Tesla Motors did. Start with a high-margin, expensive, desirable vehicle, then move downmarket from there. In fact, it’s a good strategy for starting almost any type of business.
I live in a town 30 mins from Normal IL where Rivian's main plant is and we actually had two of our workers leave us and go to Rivian. They both claim everything is rolling strong there and production is ramping more each day it seems. Seems like an astounding place to work from the cleanliness of the plant to the complimentary mouthwash they leave in the bathrooms. Rivian is the real deal for sure.
7:50 Agreed. Some things are still better as tactile buttons.
Some one parked wrong when you show the vans for amazon it pointed the wrong way lol
i also prefer knobs and switches instead of a touchscreen. its just so much more intuitive and haptic. that also makes it safer and more easy to use. never change a running system. (i am 35 😂 )
The R1T Seems like its amazing ! I would love to see an episode dedicated to the Toyota and Yamaha venture for their Hydrogen ICE. I love electric cars but for me personally I want the ICE to stay, and would love to see this succeed so we can still here the pulsating heart of a thumping great V8.
Hydrogen ICE is a lost cause. Poor efficiency, astronomical cost and zero benefit.
So I work as a fork truck technician. We used to use Nissan vans (NV3500), and since they're no longer made we had to switch to the Ford Transit. We can't even get new vans because Amazon keeps buying up the available supply of current year PLUS ordering future ones.
Awesome video. I'm glad to know Rivian won't be in any trouble over Amazon's plan.
Is this why my prime went up in price this year?

I am from the Netherlands, and I can assure you this stellantis is just an paper company, a set of rules from different car company’s to united and blaze off the competition… And the Netherlands is only because of our state of the art freethinkers in organizational aspect and, let’s be true, our interesting tax possiblities . So today Stellantis, tomorrow another “ company”

He's saying Stellantis is about as Dutch as inter IKEA systems. Technically headquartered in the Netherlands for taxation purposes, but producing nothing there.
@@eisma002 Ah. Business as usual then
I worked for a small town muffler factory in northeast Indiana for a couple weeks. It's so weird to hear you guys talk about Stellantis because this company was basically telling us that we work for them. Which included companies like Mercedes, Jeep, Dodge, Ford, BMW, etc.. sounds like an automotive take over to control the price of vehicles before EV gets a good foothold
Arrival is doing the same thing with EV delivery vans and is working with UPS. Arrival has developed robotic microcells which they can install in existing warehouses that already have power from the grid. Each cell can be programmed and supplied to build any of three can models.
Replacing delivery cars (Amazon, USPS…) is pretty much overdue at this point.
It just hurts to see how they start the engine, drive 100 feet, stop the engine, and do it again. Huge stress on ICE engines, very inefficient, and the most polluting way to drive a car.
EV is just better for this purpose in every way.
EV delivery vans and boring commuters save petrol for fun cars. I’m in.
@@ItsTheNada also cheeper fuel
@@darthmaul216 lol will sadly never be cheaper
@@bennynagon9322 it fluctuates, but yes, unless you own a flex fuel vehicle and a wood lot or equivalent so you can make your own fuel (and pay road tax on it separately) it won’t get much cheaper to use an Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle.
@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis If I were manufacturing my own fuel, I'd never pay any taxes on it.
I would be surprised if Amazon didn't buy a larger stake in Rivian now that the price is down and make another 50 billion once the stock rebounds after high consumer satisfaction and increased demand.
Guess you don’t know anything about stock valuations lol
@@talebalabij4433 Its funny how you say "stock valuations" as if this is a real thing and not just one of many tricks billionaires use to make even more billions.
People forget that this is the perfect moment to buy into Rivian stock while it dives. BUY THE DIP, YOU FOOLS!
It's absolutely worthless, have you saw the tfl review on it?. It's an absolute joke. They have to get their battery life worked out, among a bunch of other stupid things about it
there’s 1 more dip coming. wait to buy.

@@jebussbf when?
I wouldn't touch "the dip" on any stocks that have IPO'd during the pandemic. Rivian won't be anywhere near profitable for years, and we're about to experience a mild recession as the FED raises rates and people realize we vastly over anticipated inflation in both the housing and new/used vehicle market. When people have to start treating money like money again instead of blowing a ton of it, and then getting more for free from the government, like they have been for the past 22 months, we're going to see an overabundance of supply and little to no demand at anywhere near these prices - and that goes for stocks too. We've barely seen a dip yet compared to what's coming.
LMAO this shirt ad is the best one you guys have ever done 🤣
Oil tankers are now in high demand, buy NAT today! This stock will triple by March to well above $3.50. Semper Fi
I still haven't heard a solution to what they are going to do with all the "Non-recyclable" parts on those lithium batteries at end of life. There will be the next environmental problem and it will be huge. I guess they will just bury them and stay quiet.
you mean similar to the millions of cars sitting in junkyards and backyards today?
@@uliwehner Non-EVs are far more recyclable than EV. Do your research.

@@uliwehner So you choose to be a sheeple. OK, good to know.
I've seen a few delivery companies in my area using EV vans its nice to see delivery companies are starting to go in this direction
I'm looking forward to some good deals on fleet vans. As far as the EV market goes, I'm in no hurry to run out and purchase new tech. I'm a huge supporter of EV tech. I'm also a realist who lives in the middle of nowhere in the midwest U.S.
I have a few reasons why I'm not currently interested in EV:
1. Cost
2. Availability of parts
3. Ease of maintenance
4. No proven track record
5. Infrastructure
In a few years when EV tech is far more established, I may consider an EV option. As it stands, I'm sticking to the tried-and-true combustion engines.
Goddamn I don't believe a word you just said. Go get a job Mr "Realist"
None of the reasons you listed actually apply:
1. Lower cost per mile
2. No parts required as they are exceptionally reliable
3. Schedule maintenance mostly eliminated and a fraction of combustion van maintenance
4. Already a proven track record for EV's which have over a decade of use already.
5. What infrastructure would you need? For delivery or company vans, charge them at the company or at home. No brainer.
i love the intro, you should start all videos saying "the year of our Lord, two thousand (in this case) twenty two"
I’d like to see Canoo and how they stack up against the rest of the EVs
Yoo.. easily some of the best merch. Buying one for my girls birthday.
i wish stellantis allows Lancia to make a new Delta integrale, the smallest platform has space for two motors, there is hope

They are doing just that. It‘s coming in 2026. But sadly it will be electric
@@hsvcommodore4111 Need a source for a claim like that, bud.
@@hsvcommodore4111 source???
They won't. Nobody cares about lancia anymore apart for rally fans and bitter Italian petrolheads. Lancia is destined to keep withering away, with some new badge-engineered small crossovers coming in the next 2-4 years
Meanwhile I am here trying to save a few bucks to get a used van for me to work , life at it's best 🙃
I look at van prices every month. Prices are close to when I got mine last October, which was still overpriced but not like insane early 2022 pricing. Only problem is now the interest rates on loans are 3% higher. Commercial loans always have higher rates too. I bet it's 8% right now.

My son went from working hard on a hay farm to being a package driver for Amazon for one dollar more an hour. He loved it at first but that love quickly wore off. As he kept making his delivery time goals each week, they kept pushing him more and more without any bonuses. It was never good enough. He was working 12 hour shifts. He was exhausted, going up flights up stairs carrying packages daily.
The better he was, they more they worked him until he completely gave out. Once he tripped on a stepd he was terrified to tell management so he wouldn't get yelled at n get a mark against him or get fired. I cleaned his elbow and super glued his elbow skin together and put butterfly stitches on it send sent him back to work.
A year later, after 2 years of no raises, tighter goals to meet, no recognition for safety, and reaching his goals, he gave up n quit.
I love this! Thank you for the Edutainment! This is my favorite Donut Brother (presenter)!
Hey Nolan,,,could you do a video explaining how the power grids in the US will handle the influx of all the electric cars in the next few years or so? It seems like they’re not built for all the extra power draw that is heading our way with electric,,,everything,,,
basically. I’m not sure solar cells and windmills are the answer either.

Answers:
Off-peak power draw already exists.
Recycling. Already exists and is being scaled up.
Wind and solar produce power just fine.
All of the solutions exist, people just put blinders on trying to come up with excuses why they wont work.
@@RC-fp1tl Maybe some people simply don't know? I am willing to work hard to improve things, but sometimes I can't tell where my efforts should be directed.
200 miles range is not very impressive … especially when you consider how that’s going to drop significantly once the van is loaded with cargo… and the fact that they have to be able to get back to the distribution center to “refuel”.

Have any of you done the back of the napkin calculations as to how much electricity would be required to switch over every vehicle currently on the road? Would also be fun to figure out how many wind turbines and or solar panels would be required and how much land mass they would cover.
Remember that refining oil uses up a lot of electricity, as less oil is refined you can divert that electricity to charging more vehicles.
Right now, there are enough solar cells in the world, that once no longer viable, will dwarf the insoluble plastic waste that was around five years ago.
Do you really want a mountain of those higher than your plastic trash on the outskirts of town? They don't recycle them.
@@daemonsilver3304 Solar panels are already being broken down and recycled, as they are mostly silicon (glass), metal and similar materials. This endless Chicken Little BS nonsense about solar panels and wind turbines is getting old already. Do some research and grow up....
no need for napkin math, there are actual engineers doing actual math with actual information.... fossil fuel is stored solar energy, btw. thought you should know
The math on this is relatively simple. We know that refining oil into gasoline per gallon (petrol) requires around 6kWh. That is enough energy to drive an electric car around 25 miles (40Km).
So, a lot of the energy required for EV's is already being spent (wasted) on fossil fuel production.
Also, talking about how much "land mass" wind turbines would cover would be minimal as offshore turbines are where the biggest growth is and where the largest turbines are being installed.
The same applies to solar. When you put solar on a rooftop, no land mass is lost, the roof is already there. There are millions of square miles of rooftop space around the worlds that are basically wasted today, which could hold a solar array with zero additional space needed.
Just take a look at the airport terminals and parking garages at a decent sized airport and the massive amount of rooftop space which could power the entire airport and send the surplus to the neighboring towns and cities.
200mi isn't going to cut it for commercial use. Especially in the midwest where ev's get half the range during the winter. Amazon trucks will be stuck sitting on the side of the road more than actually out delivering packages
04:10 "Eh-ther" gets me every time.
Love the new tech but im not a fan of the touch screen control systems. Because they are subject to the same woes of smart phones, you fat fingering a button you didnt push, ghost touch= tapping something nearby when you didnt even touch that icon. Also the lack of tactile feed back. In many current and older cars with knobs and switches and buttons you can often manipulate the controls you need without needing to waste time navigating a fucking menu plus you can keep your eyes on the road as the distinct feel and shape of a button easily tells you what it is and which way you want to push/turn it. Something you cant do with all these damn screens also lack of redundancy if the screen fails or its software bricks you are just screwed as you now have 0 controls at all. Where if a button fails at worse you dont have that one function but still have all the other controls and in a pinch you can pull the button out and manually actuate that function until you get a replacement, something thats impossible with this screen bullshit. We need a car maker to make a car thats a car not a smart phone on wheels
Love your videos! Just got some new clothes from your store too!
Do UA-camrs really have to bloop cockpit?!

I love the rivian amazon van, we have one at our job, we’re working on the chargers for these vans for Amazon
I REALLY enjoy the stock market style videos, please don't stop. It makes me money 😎
just wait for the electric bill/taxes to kick in and see whats really cheap and cost effective
I have a really bad feeling about those Ram ProMaster EV Delivery vans, if they're anything like their current gas-powered counterparts.
They are based on the European Fiat version, so they should be totally different.
You keep saying Bezos. He has not been the CEO of Amazon for over a year. The rest of the video was great except for missing the mark on that point.
