Cost electric vehicles the same as ice ...... mad to buy a ice

[@Ongnoiputin02]

When you can’t compete , you say EV slow down 😀

[@DavidWilliams-qk5jq]

Indeed.

[@macmcleod1188]

It's just a fact that the current price level sales of electric vehicles are slowing down from the meteoric pace they had last year. But they're still selling huge numbers of electric vehicles and owning an electric vehicle can save you $1,500 per year compared to owning a gasoline vehicle. End of gasoline is over $4 a gallon in your area, it can save you $2,500 per year.

[@sergiyko6598]

That is what Germany and Europe is doing right now. I was thinking about EV and decided to wait another 4 years. infrastructure is way way not ready for 50% electric cars, and it won't be ready in nearest years. Nothing is done in that way. Almost Zero chances to charge your EV on autobahn.

[@GruffSillyGoat]

@@sergiyko6598 - that may not work as there is no incentive for investment in infrastructure by everyone waiting on everyone else to take the plunge first. Norway, for example, with it's high user adoption level has driven the infrastructure adoption to follow on to meet demand, but once the infrastructure capability industrialised it is now rolling out at it's own high but cost effective pace driving EV adoption into harder to reach areas overcoming the remaining physical and pyshcological barriers.

[@shepherdsknoll]

Classic example of big business buying the media, this will have little effect as most manufacturers have their head in the sand. What seems to have worked is the sales of hybrids, hybrids aren’t the answer, they just provide a way for most manufacturers to continue to produce ice.

[@zoransarin5411]

Imagine how fast the adoption would be if you let market forces work their magic? If the EU and US didn't impose gigantic tariffs, 100% in the case of the US. That is simply slowing down EV adoption, denying the US consumer of a wider variety of EV choices and ripping off the American consumer if they want to buy a Chinese EV. I don't think S-Curves took into account hostile tariffs brought about nbecause US companies were lazy and devoted to ICE.

[@davidkendall2272]

Fantastic chart. says it all, and EV sales adoption fitting classic S curve!

Fully right as Germany mainly did bad EVs only half hearted and Volkswagen was throwing people like Herbert Diess out for telling truth and learning from Elon. Now they go all in with their joke Software company Cariad, and the loosers Xpeng and Rivian which both did not make any money so far! Great job for the robbers still getting too high bonuses for no result in a strange world. But automotive also belongs partially to oil countries and Germany was trapped by the traitors Schroeder and Merkel both friends of Vladimir P. financing his Oligarchs and getting bribed most probably. So with cheap oil there was no investment in old grids and power from green sources. Now lieing has a tradition within the criminal cartel of the five with 40 years blocking any innovation and Dieselgate or more. Still not solved for many customers in consequence. What else should their fake news whores press write than EV bad, Elon bad, Grünheide bad and someone pay even for „eco“-terrorists that fight the most environmental friendly factory of Germany. So everyone should have his/her own truth but facts would be better. Since 2009 we started reducing fleet cost and also tried fake PHEV which definitely were all 💩 expensive in TCO. So now with 100% electric it’s a high 30% less for much more power and performance. We charge in 10-SECONDS any car with own wallboxes. Just plug and press START and in the morning the car is even climatized. As we are living in the mountains there is nothing better than filling the ‚tank‘ downhills and with no hot brakes anymore! But the best we have what industry promised for 40 years in Europe; the 2-LITRES-CAR but not a Volkswagen Tin Can with a noisy and dirty Diesel and no room but with a luxury crossover with over 300 horsepower’s 😎

@@francismarion6400 I love when people provide data. Can't argue with data. Too bad you are too stupid to understand what you are saying. Or are you pretending to be stupid because you can't handle the fact that EVs are killing off your ICE cars? For instance, the first real EV to start this EV revolution was the Tesla Roadster in 2008-2012. So many consider 2010 to be the beginning of EV sales and production in the US. So those 92% of ICE cars that you refer to were built both before and after 2010. What you are too stupid to understand therefore is you are mixing your apples and oranges together because you are lumping in ICE cars that pre-existed EVs in that 100% pie of yours. Bit unfair don't you think? Or are you too stupid to think that's why the simple 10 word sentence? You ICE addicts love to spout that ICE cars last 50 years, so that means EVs have commenced sales in 2010, some 14 years ago, and you are adding all those ICE cars going back 36 years to 1974. Real sporting of you to include those to inflate your ICE numbers and deflate the EV numbers. Just for your information, EV sales in California so far this year represent 21.9% of all vehicles sold. That's 1 in 5 and growing Marion. Don't you just love the EV future we have to look forward to?

[@ronfarnsworth7074]

​@@francismarion6400 Probably the 8% that have had a ride in an ev and know the facts. Best thing to keep an eye on is the new car sales.

[@MrPropanePete]

Why? That brand new ICE car you mentioned will probably outlast an EV three times over. The weak point of any battery powered appliance is always the battery and an EV is essentially a large battery powered mobile appliance.

[@document6]

I still don’t get why PHEVs are lumped in with EVs one is a gas car the other is an EV I don’t get it 🤦‍♂️

[@robertfonovic3551]

It makes the figures look better. No other reason. BEV sales 2023 were around 10 million. Toyota sold 11 million vehicles last year.

[@GruffSillyGoat]

PHEVs are more of a transitionary technology, for those more cautious about moving to battery power or in areas where charging is problematic for their needs. Typically, PHEV drivers move towards purchasing BEVs once they get comfortable with running on electric or the infrastructure meets their needs. As most PHEV, setting aside Sam's provocative example of buying for a tax benefita only, drive on battery mode for the majority of their time (battery sized for average daily use) then they tend to be counted in electric rather than fossil fuel stats. As battery range increases and/or charging infrastructure meets a (country specific) deployment threshold the role of PHEVs will decrease. Hybrid EV's on the other hand are a partial EVs being a fossil fuel powered car with either an additional electric motor for a but more power/range/economical driving or an electric drive train powered by a fossil fuel generator. These cars are eating into Petrol and Diesel sales around the world, due to higher MPG, rather than leaching from Battery EV (or PHEV) sales. At somepoint the industry will likely be split the states into primarily battery powered and primarily fossil fuel powered segments, but it's not their yet. Though it is moving in that direct, for example Mild Hybrids were originally counted seperately as a sub-segment of Hybrid EVs but are not consolidated into Petrol/Diesel car figures rather than reported seperately.

[@zoransarin5411]

@@robertfonovic3551 Very good Robert. As a snapshot in time your comment is correct. Toyota sold 11 million cars and 10 million EVs were sold. Given a worldwide market of around 75 million cars, Toyota has almost 15% while EVs make up 13%. But the ICE market is diminishing and will eventually disappear. So Toyota is playing in the sandbox of a diminishing market and have almost no sales in the growing market. That is not a good thing. Food for thought. You know what year Nokia sold the most mobile phones in its history? It was 2008. The year after the iphone was released. Google to see what happened to Nokia sales in 2009-2013.

[@MP_145]

Boosting numbers, Hybrids will start to make their way into it soon as well. Hybrid sales in Australia are flying now that Toyota supply has improved and new models are available. BEV sales slowing month on month but still up for the year. If this trend still occurs you will see BEV market cap at 10% PHEV and Hybrid will be 40-50% and ICE the rest.

[@kradwonders]

Worldwide sales will increase but in the U.S. sales will continue but much slower than in China. Once the Tesla charger becomes industry wide, in America, I think sales will really start to grow.

[@adwoolley123]

I think you can buy an adapter for the Tesla charger....

[@paulbrown2422]

I agree that having the new standard Tesla (NACS) plug will make a difference. It is one of a few factors causing me to wait another couple of years before buying a battery electric vehicle.

[@dianewallace6064]

Thanks, Viking, for all you do!!

[@nhand42]

I wanted an EV for years but couldn't afford one. But this year the prices have dropped so much that I finally jumped and bought an EV. And all I can say is I wish I'd done this years ago. Any doubts I had about range-anxiety and public charging, I was completely misguided, they've been non-issues. This is the sixth car I've owned - four petrols, one diesel, now an electric - and I can't go back. I cannot see myself owning a petrol or diesel ever again. And I don't imagine my experience is unique. People are going to switch in droves as they learn through family and friends what owning an EV is really like. There's no turning back. This is the start of the S curve and the adoption is going to accelerate.

[@gilsegura8587]

its misleading because plug-in hybrids are included in the mix- hybrids should not be counted in the mix to fairly compare apples and oranges

[@elephantintheroom5678]

The one channel that ALWAYS cheers me up!

[@ThisRandomUsername]

As soon as the majority of people can afford an EV the sales will go up. Up until the last few years it's been those with money and the desire for a nice new toy that have bought EVs. If I was in the market for a semi-new car myself in South Africa, the only car I could think of getting would be a 2019 BMW i3 (~R500 000 ~= $28,000), and that's still a lot more pricey than a similarly sized *brand new* Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite or Hyundai i20 (~R300 000). Of course it's in a different league when it comes to build quality, but those are the options I would have if I didn't buy a house.

[@Steve-gl1ij]

Hi Sam, found your channel yesterday. Great videos! Thank you so much for your time, sir. Subsidies surely help but I'm not sure if that's the big part. Japan had huge subsidies on EVs and Hybrids over a decade, if not decades, but nothing really picked up in terms of their EV sales. I think the great EV sales in China is simply two, word of mouth and the 'trust' on govt policies. (1/3)

[@Steve-gl1ij]

So the word of mouth would be like this: I bought my first EV last year (this is true). So far my impression is, I don't think I'd go back to combustion vehicles ever again! It runs so smoothly and responds reliably. I'd describe as a jet plane on the wheels, except nothing burning! I tell my friends, once you drive you'll know that wheels are meant to roll with electric motors quietly, not by creating explosions and burning more to accelerate, exhausting toxic air next to the pedestrians. (Just to clarify I’m not an environmentalist at all ;) I come home and just plug in when the off-peak hour comes and fully charged by the next morning, just like your phone plugged in. Imagine pouring the fuel into your phone at a petrol station every time, carrying it around, burning and emitting the toxic air on usage! EVs are way more efficiently driven and maintained as vehicles. It makes sense that the world's most advanced two countries in terms of their railroad networks have chosen 'electric trains’, not diesel fueled ones. (2/3)

[@Steve-gl1ij]

Chinese govt’s policies are trusted: The people and businesses trust the govt when it comes to their policies announced internationally. No other govt is as transparent in a sense. The entire nation hears, businesses prepare and domestic and foreign capitals flow in. I know it's just me but that's how I see the rapid growth of the EV sales in China. (3/3)

[@sabb007]

Let me offer an alternative analysis of those numbers. China being a dictatorship can tell their manufacturers what to build and their citizens what to buy. China is therefore an outlier and the results excluding the Chinese numbers should also be examined. That alternative dataset shows that the EV sales outside China are plateauing. Western automobile manufacturers are going out of business because their governments are forcing them to sell cars (EVs) that very few of their customers want.

[@kaasmeester5903]

Well, most growth is thanks to China, though it's good to see the other regions at least seeing a little growth as well. I'm wondering about the numbers for 2nd hand EVs though... not that long ago, they were pretty expensive and hard to find, but prices have dropped by quite a bit and there are tons sitting in lots.

The Guardian covers talks held in Aberdeen yesterday, where a Treasury minister “sought to defuse a kerfuffle with the North Sea oil and gas industry by promising to keep investment reliefs on low-carbon projects, aiming to protect jobs and soften the expansion of the energy windfall tax”. The newspaper says that chancellor Rachel Reeves has promised to expand the levy on energy industry profits, and “energy bosses and unions representing North Sea workers are concerned that the changes could hit jobs and investment in the UK”. The Times reports that a disused Scottish coal mine will be turned into a pumped storage hydro power station. The Press Association covers a YouGov poll, which finds that “SUPPORT for UK CLIMATE policy has INCREASED since before the general election, with OVER three-quarters of people BACKING the shift to net-zero”. Separately, the Press Association covers a new assessment from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, which finds that “British FOOD SECURITY is being hit by a double whammy of CLIMATE CHANGE impacts at home and in the countries it imports FOOD from”.

[@zoransarin5411]

That is difficult to tell. OPEC regulates production to attempt to keep prices high. So they don't just pump out at 100% production capacity year in and year out and sell according to supply and demand. They control the supply and demand relationship to some extent. That makes comparisons to an externality such as EVs very difficult to do

Subsidy is only part of the reason. Look at Ford, GM and some European manufacturers, they also have massive subsidies but they are struggling. If you go to China, charging stations and ports are everywhere and that makes the transition to EVs much easier.

Hi, Sam, I like your channel, but don't share your optimism about electric aircraft. I am a retired aeronautical engineer, to be more specific an aerodynamicist specialising in non-linear flight dynamics. Few people realise how efficient a modern aircraft jet engine is, or how much power it takes to fly at the current speed and altitude. No battery powered aircraft has yet been proposed that uses anything other than propellers, with flying speed about one third of a jet airliner, and nothing like the range. Until recently, Quantas was flying non-stop from Perth to London, and it is probably feasible to do Sydney to London with a little improvement. Make that in 30 stops with any electric aircraft yet proposed!

[@michaeltan6892]

As the biggest polluter in the world, it's vital for China to accelerate towards green energy technology asap. While the speed of transformation is encouraging, it's still disappointing to see more coal factories being built.

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

China will shutter those coal factories as soon as solar is sufficient. They do what they have to do. But plan to do it better. Wish we were half as smart. Oh right! We are half as smart🧠as the Chinese...

[@apis8020]

The vast majority of new plants are to cover production gaps in solar and wind (night and still weather), and almost entirely for industrial uses. With the precipitous drop in battery prices, it’s only a matter of increasing production capability, and even the new coal plants won’t be able to compete. We may even have seen peak coal demand in China, but that is something only definite looking back.

[@MLF-kq8ut]

On a per capita basis they are much more energy efficient than western countries like Australia and the US. And they do that while also producing 30% of the rest of the world's goods. In 2023, China commissioned as much solar PV as the entire world did in 2022, while its wind additions also grew by 66% year-on-year.

[@zoransarin5411]

As stated by @MLF-kq8ut, China has a lower per capita emission that the US and others. As of 2023 China emits 8.89 tons per capita compared to 14.21 for the US. The 1st world countries got to where they are through their high emissions. People that refer to China as the highest polluter are being disingenious because the reality is they pollote way less per person than we do. Under Trump the US pulled out of the Paris Agreement. Effectively the US said climate change is an issue. When you do that, then China has every right to say "we want to keep building polluting coal fired plants because we should have the same right as you to pollute at 14.21 tons per person". The west cannot have it both way.

Why? EVs are heavy. But are they heavier than the avarage RAM, Silverado and F250? Heavier than a light truck? Large rigid truck? Semi trailer?

He says 20% in the video at about the 3-minute mark. Maybe it is 20% of the total but the increase year on year was 30%. So that would be an increase from 14% of all sales to 20% of all sales.

The graph is distorted by the Chinese sales. China is a dictatorship where the government can tell manufacturers what to make and tell its citizens what to buy. If you exclude those numbers, EV sales are starting to plateau. A western democratic govt can't make citizens buy something that they don't want e.g. EVs.

Hey electric Viking, do a video on reusable EV battery. I was thinking there’s a segment of population driving PHEV, if some of these PHEV 80km batteries are no longer functional would it be possible for third party 150km battery with better chemistry and range in similar size to fill in the gap. 150km is something would satisfy most people in day to day life to be honest.

You'd have to swap out more than the batteries - including the BMS, the charger, the inverters feeding the motor and the car's computer system or have something between the new battery and the computer that talks the correct propietary protocol and somehow maps the new batteries condition/error states/charge level parameters onto that reported by the old battery's electronics.

False. Tesla is profitable, just not as profitable as last year because of cut throat competition in China. BYD is now the largest and is profitable. SAIC is profitable. Greely is break even but will be profitable because they are now growing quickly. Canoo, Fisker and many others will indeed go out of business in the same way that happened with ICE vehicles. It's called competition. Get your head out of your North American ass and realize that automotive is a worldwide industry and China is by far the most important market. There are stunning cut throat price wars going on there that are going to obliterate GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, VW group, BMV, etc in that market, which is going to make everyone of those companies less competitive globally. This is exactly why Germany ended EV subsidies, why Biden has introduced tariffs to shield US manufacturers from Chinese competition, etc. Auto manufacturing is one of the most important industries and NA, Europe, and Japan are going to be devastated over the next 2 decades since China is the largest market and the new emerging markets are places like India, Brazil, Indonesia, SE Asia in general, etc. Legacy ICE is not going to compete there. China will. Then game over for western auto industry which will lose on scale. Capitalism 101.

[@macmcleod1188]

The Chinese Evie companies make about $700 profit per car in China and much more in Western countries. I forget the figure but it's thousands of dollars profit per car.

Would be interesting to know how many new EVs actually replace a fossil car in China. Are there people buying their first car, maybe replacing a bicycle with a cheap EV? Are total car sales in China increasing?

[@Yattayatta]

Car sales in China peaked in 2017, they have declined slightly since then from 24.72 million cars per year in 2017 to 23.56 million in 2023. If you add in commercial vehicles the decline is slightly larger. We get a lot of benefits from owning an EV in China, you can drive in the green zones in cities without paying any fee, you have special parking spots reserved from EVs coupled with subsidies etc. Over half the vehicles sold last month (51%) were EVs, hybrids are lumped in with EVs here too, but hybrids are not popular in China because you don't get the green plates in most cities if you are a hybrid, only EVs get them (You have green registration plates if you have an EV, so they can easily be identified for proper parking ETC)

[@jensberkan3287]

The temporary accumulation of, let's say' "interesting news around EVs and EV sales" looks a bit like a concentrated effort to throw some black mass on the technology and to set it on battery fire. In general, I would almost conclude, the automotive industry resembles the current split throughout society very well. I see the near future development similar to you but then, things might change drastically. The same we witness today with respect to emission regulations and ICE vehicle use restrictions will come to EVs. There will be no go zones, no parking zones and "only charge here" zones due to the inherent fire danger of the current cell technologies rolled out into mass production. Insurance premiums will do the rest of it. I predict that the current evolution of EVs will take over ICE - only to be killed by the system directly afterwards. Then, we will repeat the whole game on yet a larger global scale with just another technology (something that even better safes the environment by producing even more of it). The beginning of the end of today's EVs is already initiated by the way, because India just changed the standards for LEV batteries. No Thermal propagation allowed = no houses burnt down anymore according to their narrative. This will roll over to cars and trucks and busses, and then, in my prediction before 2030, owner of modern EVs are in a similar situation as a German owner of a Volkswagen Diesel that barely meets Euro 2 standards... but hey, Afrika can take tens of millions of used EVs, and then, finally, the African Battery Doctor can stop smelting and recasting old Lead Acid Batteries in his kitchen...

Why buy a car with a range? Buy an ICE car.

[@andresd6193]

When I got my first electric car in 2018 and I went on road trips there were few superchargers and few people using them. Now when I go on the roads there are superchargers pretty much everywhere and lots and lots of people using them, not only Tesla's but many other EV's. EV adoption will keep growing because the technology is just better than ICE and more and more people keep realizing that and also realizing that the range and charging speed issues are just myths. Over 90% of cars are parked 22 or more hours a day so as the charging infrastructure becomes more robust these two myths will disappear. I can charge at home or I can charge at work for free. Electric is way more convenient and cheaper than gasoline. While I am home sleeping or at work working my car is charging and all for about 1/3 the price of gasoline or even free sometimes. I will never ever go back to an ICE vehicle, it just doesn't make sense.

Don’t forget that the vast majority of EV sales are to companies who use them as fleet vehicles, loaners and lease cars for employees for tax write offs.

@@zoransarin5411 I was not saying you should disregard it. I was saying it is not representive of trends in the western world, because China is a plan economy. If you want to truly see how EVs compare to ICE cars in 2024 on a car for car basis, you should look at countries where the market is allowed to freely determine what the consumer wants. In my country in Europe, 36% of all cars sold in 2023 was EVs. But the goverment gave EVs a sales Tax break that made EVs half the price of an ICE car with the same price before Tax. On top of this we have heavy sales taxes on gasoline. So if you buy an EV instead of an ICE car, the government literally pays way more than half your costs. On this basis it is kind of surprising you can even sell an ICE car, and the sales figures do not represent how consumers view the cars on a like for like basis.

You have electricity in your home? If yes, then you are all set for an EV! I may not live as far outback as an Outback Australian, but I live deep in the boonies in central France. And actually, I can tell you, EVs are BETTER for countryside folks than for many city folks, because the formers ALL own their home, and have therefore no problem charging an EV overnight at a very cheap rate, while the apartment dwellers often do have a problem. Furthermore, the people around here are financially very modest... but they can count, and quickly figure out how much cheaper an EV is overall. Each month, I see one more EV in my village or those around! We even have ONE taxi company in the area, a family business operating 3 taxis. They converted their small fleet a few years ago to Teslas, and are more than happy, having increased very substantially their profitability. They also told me that their customers love the cars! In France, we have another advantage: municipalities are incentivized to install EV chargers. Every other village by now has its two 22kW chargers! So, even if you are low on battery away from home, you'll have no problem... actually much less than finding a gas station that is still in operation! Having said this, if you tow trailers over long distances just about every day, than fine, stay with a gas or diesel truck... towing is definitely one of the rare genuine EV weaknesses.

I wouldn't totally agree with this video's opinion on EV sales growth. All depends on two things... If developed countries erect more trade barriers and how hard China will try to sell to undeveloped countries. Probably the biggest developed country market which is North America won't change much in the next few years and except for California doesn't have the infrastructure to support an enormous increase in EVs on the road overnight. The US is on track to fully transition to EVs around 2030 nationally but not likely before . The global South if undeveloped countries are probably further behind. Who is going to pay for power generation, building a modern electrical grid and charging stations? Bottom line is that EV sales will probably plateau at current levels and continue for at least 5 years until problems can be addressed.

[@casperhansen826]

It's the consumer that decides and they have chosen EVs and while the purchase price of EVs gets lower more people will buy them and ICE car prices will increase as economy of scale decreases
