The American EV industry is suffering. Manufactures should make EVs that are more affordable.

Prices still way too high for the market to adopt electric in the numbers needed but getting there. The fact Honda and Toyota both have now entered the market is great and the Honda pricing is amazing for what it offers, but i would rather wait to let the wealthy suffer the problems that will be found with electric and be resolved in future models. Again no mention of newer better teslas here and i doubt we will see any for a good 5 years, but as tesla sales are stagnant now i suspect they will start making the model 2 for around 30 000 or just above and more models so they can service a wider audience. Manufacturers have another 4 years or 5 years until 20% of their sales must be fully electric or suffer some serious taxes, i expect in 2027 to see a lot more £20 000 range cars or even £15 000 with ranges not under 250 and decent comfort. Removing the massive parts of the factories that were involved in manufacturing cars with combustion engines will save dramatically in manufacturing costs alone, now one person can lift and install a motor, hook it up in less than 5 minute, i dare to think how many men or machines were needed to lower a combustion engine into a car add all the extras and hook it all up with power and mechanical linkages. An electric motor weighs around 25 kg, light enough for most people to lift, and it only needs a few plugs for controllers and power. Also, the motors are all fully manufactured by machines, no need to add carburettors or other gadgets or hook up an exhaust after installing a manifold or install a gearbox the multitude of air filters fuel filters and other devices a modern engine needs to run. I wonder how many fewer people a manufacturer will need on a production line. And how much they will save not having to pay the higher cost for a combustion engine, and now there are some really innovative electric motors with massive performance levels that weigh even less than 20kg. One video i watched on KZbin was people building their own ev's, with low range yes but for many 70 miles range between charging is more than enough, building an electric car with 50mph top speed and 100mile range is not impossible and eventually i expect to see kits of open-top electric cars selling for well under £20 000

Because the heavy, burdensome hand of government is tinkering with every free market aspect of these builds. If they are viable, the product will sell and stand on its own. If not viable, then battery cars will fade to history for a second time since the 1900’s when they introduced the first time.

@@bwl123it will when it EVENTUALLY happens. I mean perhaps in 2030?!? Tesla and all legacy automakers have no real desire to make a $25K EV. Why make a $25K when it can be $35-40K? They don’t care about everyone driving an EV. You can look at the ICE market now. There are only a handful of models that are below $25K. Most automakers are phasing out their $25K or lower models for higher trim levels.

No gas this is true they get you with your car registration
@carlsmith554511 ай бұрын
In some places they get you with EV taxes, and here in Pennsylvania all cars have to be registered, gas or electric, solar, hydrogen, hybrids even flying cars. The EV still offers a long down time and a short and shitty range. I would love to buy an EV but they have to be improved. Till then, I'll keep my jaguar XJl. I only fuel up (once a month) and my range is 570 miles which supersedes any EV. And it's paid off at 41 thousand dollars. I make the 831 mile trip from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida 3 times a year. Every serious traveler knows that range is important. No matter how many times i stop for what ever reason, i only have to stop once to refuel which takes me 3 to 5 minutes depending on wether or not i run in and grab a coffee, not 20 minutes or 20 hours. If you don't travel, then the EV is for you. I cant use the EV, I travel to far and long to use a short range car. I need a car that gives me the ability to keep moving and sorry to say but that's just noy available in an EV. I hope one day they improve the EV with these fine qualities and improvements so i can finally buy one.....

"There is a recent conspiracy suggesting that various overseeing authorities appear uninterested in intervening and are consequently allowing insurance companies demanding outrageous premiums for electric cars without any apparent justification. This should be a matter of concern for the relevant authorities, especially considering that car insurance is compulsory, and the importance of a cleaner environment cannot be overstated. It is plausible that this conspiracy is being financed by oil companies leveraging their vast resources."

It's irresponsible for governments to push for change on things that people are extremely reliant upon without equally reliable alternate. The day will come when during emergency EVs will be responsible for some unfortunate event , it could either be from low charge or OS failure.

No, i don't need a discount. Not with cars that still have not been improved. None of them still can charge fully in under 6 minutes. They still don't offer range which is still reserved for the gas car only. I only fuel up (once a month) and takes me 3 to 5 minutes depending on wether or not i run in and grab a coffee. My Jaguar XJl offers me a range of 570 miles which is great for the 3 times a year i make the 831 mile trip from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida. It's also paid off at 41 thousand dollars. Now, improve the EV with these fine qualities and improvements, and I'll buy one, immediately!!! This is one of the reasons why many don't make the transition to all electric vehicles. We're waiting for the next generation EV with the hopes that these fine qualities and improvements have been applied......

Like i said, "improve the EV with the same fine qualities and improvements that continues to be reserved for gas cars only, now we're talkin! For this is one of a few reasons why many don't make the transition. If you are going to give rise to another product and introduce it to society, It better be the same if not better. The only thing the EV has is, you dont have to buy gas and that's great! Now add short charging times and long range without paying close to a hundred grand, that's even better. They can do it. Technology is supposed to be all that, right? Till then I'll take the 40 bucks a month for gas and keep my 3 minutes and 570 miles of range. I must admit, iam keeping an eye on the Nio ET7. They are supposed to be improving them with a shorter down time and a range of 650 miles. Let's see where it is in 2 years when it's time to get another car. If dosent meet the criteria of my needs than my next car is the jaguar XF 20d which has a range of 731 miles and also 3 to 5 minutes of down time every 11 weeks to refuel. Great for long distance travel and without the short range and long sitting times along with much longer arrival times..

@@beaverleyx7517 Bev my sis, you spent hundreds of dollars a month on gas? Are you serious? Do you live in the United States and if so what state? Because i only pay 40 to 50 bucks for my monthly fueling and cost me 3 minutes. 40 to 50 bucks is dirt money in today's economy. I live in Lancaster county Pennsylvania State, USA. Hundreds of dollars a month is crazy! In that case, girl i really don't blame you. When i travel from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida, the further south i get it gets even cheaper for gas. Hell it costs me 90 to 110 dollars round trip for gas and that covers 1,140 miles including driving while in Jacksonville Florida because of the cheaper fuel prices in the south east otherwise, i would be paying a lot more. Last summer i stopped at a gas station in Panama city that had gas at 2.19 a gallon, $2.19 a gallon!! I dont know what it is now because i wasn't in Panama city this year yet. A whole lot of us from the northeast makes that same trip to visit family down there. I made the trip with my cousin in his so called long range Tesla model Y. I will never ever do that again. It took us 2 and a half hours longer which would of been more time to spend with family. EVs are not made for over the road, long distance travel and many who own EVs still have gas cars for long distance travels with long range and short downtimes. But i would like to have an EV and im definitely going to buy one as soon as they also provide long range, short downtimes and at a reasonable price all in a full size luxury automobile. Wow!! I cant believe you spend hundreds a month on gas! Where ever you live, they are ripping you all off.
