Had electric - gone back to petrol would not go back - I now have hybrid. Refuelling takes 5 minutes and almost anywhere in contrast to the driving around trying to find an electric charger point that was actually working or that I needed yet another app to connect too. The other problem that you have is the time to charge is ridiculous - who has hours to sit and wait around for it to charge - the manufacturer tells you do not sit in the vehicle whilst charging. So if you leave your vehicle you can come back to find you have been unplugged and someone else has taken the cable. And before you say that cant happen - it can. Hit the emergency stop on the charger and it disconnects the cable from the vehicle - plug in to your car reset the e-stop and you can then charge your own vehicle.

[@perryleathers7975]

I live in mansfield Lee, ive just checked and there are only 19 public charging points in mansfield for a population of 110,000. I live in one of those houses that cannot have a charger as I have no driveway. But I do get 570 miles of range from my petrol audi...no brainer mate

I just counted 38, before adding another 10 Tesla at Annesley and another 12 Tesla at McArthur Glen. Didn't bother counting up all the others in the surrounding vicinity either. Is there enough? Doesn't need to be yet, another decade or two. It's an interesting scenario in that for a town with a majority of homes with drives, potentially the entire town might be ok without a single ultra rapid. Then on the flip side, completely the opposite. Where my mum lives, not a single ultra rapid, nothing faster than 7kW. Then again, the entire town now only has one filling station left.

It you have to shovel snow out of the way to access the charging station, technically it could be described as mining for electricity.

@ hi, yes, to be fair to Lee, I hadn’t really thought about people with disabilities accessing chargers. We have two EVs, one forced on us through work, and the other bought because I’m going to save as much fuel money as I can before the powers that be tax the hell out of EVs too. I’ve driven one for three years , and had so many issues with chargers in the cold weather, and most chargers in north wales are not great for access. Even the Tesla chargers that I go to are often flooded. The other issue nobody talks about, is that most other brands have their charging ports on the opposite side to Tesla’s, and when they use Tesla chargers they effectively take up two spaces.

Hi, Lee, Leeds bus driver here (we've spoken briefly before), nice to see you started off in my home town of Pudsey there.. you may have noticed we have ev buses in Leeds now (big push, govt funded of course). On the subject of how the temperature affects battery life- I have been driving an ev bus today. After 7hrs on the road (approx 90 miles) it had used 75% battery and supposedly needed to be on the road another 8hrs. Obviously not gonna happen and lots of unhappy people will have no bus turning up. These ev buses weigh approx 3- 3.5 tonnes more than the equivalent diesels. So around 4 tonnes of batteries for around 120 miles of range, in the cold.. And they want to mandate this crap. To steal someone else's quote "future? My a**e".

Plus at times of the year vans are needed 24/7 impossible when a third of the day is spent charging.

For sure if I go beyond 250 miles from home I will need to stop for 20 minutes to fill up, when also stopping for a break by the way, and then also have to pay the same price per mile as a petrol/diesel car because public charging is the same price.

If it were at a US home, 120 volt charging at 15 amps basically does nothing overnight. It keeps the battery warm.

Labour has put the EV mandate back to 2030! Id totally ignore that mandate! Why? Come 2029, if not hopefully long before then, the Labour party will cease to exist!

[@telwood15]

@WeAreAllDoomed-n5i I am 79 and in my twilight years and sincerely hope it's an EV that carries me to my resting place because it may not arrive there.

[@hugheffo]

My biggest fear is, that at some point their will be an EV fire on in the eurotunnel, and current fire protection systems on the trains will not be able to cope with an EV thermal runaway event.

[@topdog860]

I think you will find there has been fire in the the tunnel but wasn’t a Ev!! It was ice vehicle so not really a valid point ice cars also self combust

[@marklittle3551]

Must admit I have a giggle everytime I see EVs lined up at charging stations.Why do people do this to themselves?

[@SnowyAspenHills]

@@marklittle3551 Until there is a fossil fuel crisis, lorry drivers strike etc, I think we have all been through that a few times in our life. Even bad weather and snow could effect deliveries but hopefully we won’t see any of that though.

[@maxgomila8209]

I wouldn't dare drive an electric car without having winter tyres fitted in this weather. Even skidding into a tree head on at 15mph might cause the battery to explode or go on fire.

[@DwaynePipes]

Two things. Just recently a Tesla Cybetruck was used as a car 💥 in the USA. The 💥 was contained in the truck and probably saved lives and injury and the battery did not catch fire! On another occasion another Tesla crashed at 100mph into a wall. Again the battery did not catch fire. So just like ICE cars some accidents will cause a fire and some won't.

I cannot imagine myself waiting 50min to fill my vehicle up.

[@garymorrison277]

And that's with only a wee skiff of snow, what would it be like in the winter of 2010/11 when it was -20°c at night and didn't get above -12°c during the day and a lot more snow. EV are rubbish just like the government.

[@nickhickson8738]

Or the three month Winter of 1963?

[@David-fj5lz]

What will happen with the first total burning down of a neighbour house when an EV explodes?

[@8052royc]

Bradford, little India.

Master there is no way I’m going through all that paraphernalia.. to fuel a vehicle.. insanity.

[@johnvella5834]

This is madness clearing snow to access the charge point. Freeze to death for an hour plus waiting for an 80% charge. If this is our future forget it. I fill up my diesel tank in 5 minutes and off with a 650 mile genuine range.

[@jonathaneastwood2927]

Until they ban diesel sales😢

I think the powers that be know exactly what their green lunacy will do to the car industry.

[@TheTimeCaptain]

Keep beating the drum Lee, as you are doing a great job fella. There is a lot going on at the moment, so we should not expect too much from our power brokers, because they are spinning the wheel in any direction they choose.

[@1066sharpy]

The electric grid couldn't cope with all electric cars, home heating and all the new housing.

[@wheater5]

@@1066sharpy The increased infrastructure will have to be paid for. No doubt the government will ensure that it will be paid for by those who keep their old ICE vehicles because they can’t afford an EV.

[@SnowyAspenHills]

@@1066sharpy This is what I thought but having done some reading up on it seems this may not be the case. Oil refining to Diesel and petrol uses a lot of electricity and this demand is dropping. Heavy industry has reduced as well further reducing demand. Smart metering and consequently charging at night would also help. More power storage is being built and of course lots of renewable energy resources also being built. I’m still sceptical that at high demand times there wouldn’t have to be some regulation on charging. It’s a shame more new houses aren’t being built with solar, this should be mandatory in my opinion. Some developers put solar on roofs but only a minimum amount, in 2030 a European mandate will make it compulsory ut in the UK I’m guessing that wouldn’t apply to us.

Have a great day Lee ❤🎉

Do you mean hyper or hypothermia? And government don’t give a poop about its citizens.

[@TheMacMaster]

Depends on if the EV sets on fire. 😉

[@paulrowan4059]

Got a work ev van, range is shocking had it a couple of years now loses 50% of the range when it's cold. Work for the same company as the person you were talking to of camera and if been to a charger 5 times today but charged to what I need to get to my next job, spend more time charging than working

[@paulmarsh9226]

Why are the manufacturers not pushing back at these governments and refuse to pay the fines and produce ice cars and also ev cars.

[@davidharris1912]

Been watching your KZbin for a long time now, 100% agree with your views on electric cars. I have an electric car but we also have a petrol car for longer journeys. My electric car is now 3 year old £37000 new and worth 12000 now. Also had nothing but problems with it. 5 times now its broken down . Its now back at peugeot as it broken down again. £2350 is the bill for a new traction battery unit. Ridiculous 14 days we need to wait for the part . Its been off the road 2 weeks as they couldnt look at it as they were fully booked. So rac left car jn the carpark.

[@phillipyates75]

A recent video from BYD marketing glorifying there new solid state battery and admitting current batteries are dangerous and prone to fire.
