Is There An EV Bubble? -

[@KenBruceWayne]

Agreed, electric vehicles have downsides. Exaggerating those well beyond the truth will get you some clicks from "always EV haters" but, it will likely get many more three-dot clicks, "Don't recommend Channel" from anyone that has done enough research to know you are using typical media extremism tactics. Most people want the whole truth about electric cars to make good decisions about what direction to take in their 2nd most expensive purchase of their life.

Are you kidding? The cult will down vote anything that doesn't fit their narrative, even when it is accurate. I see so many people make statements that mean they didn't even view the video. Nothing I've seen helps people make "good decisions." They're lied to about range, about battery life, about insurance costs, about upkeep costs, then told it's "environmental" when in reality it uses the same power grid that uses coal. Covered up bad EV credits by the EPA. Do they listen to reason? Nope, it's echo chamber all the way, so get off your high horse. 20 years ago you'd be telling me how evil the car companies were and now it's, "they're the greatest people" because they do what you want them to do. All I want and I made it clear in the video, is consumer choice. You know, something everyone was into in 2003 when EVs were first gaining traction due to propped up government funds. I don't think that's so much to ask.

LOL, dude. You reel off a classic FUD list like that & Im supposed to take you seriously?

Extremely much rubbish in this video. Most EV batteries are guaranteed for 5-8 years. It is very likely that they will last a lot longer than this. A bad battery can be exhanged for a used battery from a wrecked car. This will be a fraction of the cost. Other surveys show that more than 90% will buy EVs again. Sure, the depreciation is high because the EVs are getting better. That is the point. They are getting better, so the future is electric.

A battery from a wrecked car? See, this is the problems that we'll deal with in the future. One punctured battery from a wrecked vehicle in a car park and suddenly the entire building is gone and hundreds of lives lost. You can quote all the "bad surveys" you want, but I'm not seeing this wide adoption you speak off, I see them quoting "how many are made." No, they're depreciating because they're disposable. How much would you pay for used IPhone that's running at 40% efficiency? How about a used computer? It'll be a tenth of what you bought it for because the refurbish is intensive. They aren't better either. Same motors, same weight, same tires. They aren't getting better because they can't improve. It's electricity, it doesn't work like that and if they're treated like computer they'll constantly improve and never be worth anything when you trade them in. This isn't new information btw. You know why the future is electric? Because the government is paying for it and forcing it. If you're SO sure that the future is electric then tell the government the lift the bans and lets see what rises to the top. I'm okay with that. It's what I'm fighting for. You don't want choice because choice will result in a return to form and you know it.

@ExecutiveAutomotiveSociety You can pick any number you want from statistics. New cars are overrepresented in insurance claimes because people want to keep them new. Therefore, one can't compare EVs to ICE cars because the average ICE car is 3-5 times older than the average EV. If one damages a 15-year-old ICE car for 5000 dollars, one will not even bother to fix it. One will fix a 2-year-old car, no matter if it is an EV or an ICE car. And it is much easier to get used parts for old cars that will make repairs much cheaper. If one compares 2-year-old EVs to 2-year-old ICE cars, the numbers are not that different. I have a 12-year-old EV, and I know I can get loads of cheap, used parts for it, including the battery. All statistics show that EVs burn far less often than ICE cars, and the chance of dying in an EV is far less. I have heard that by law in America, EVs need to retain at least 80% of the range after 8 years. And when it comes to choice, do you think people have chosen to drive unpractical, inefficient, and expensive trucks? They do so because this is what commercials tell them to do. If you were to choose between paying a certain amount to drive your car or to pay 1/3rd of that, I am pretty sure you would choose to pay 1/3rd. So buy an EV then.

HA HA what a fool.

[@ExecutiveAutomotiveSociety]

@@nicholasfigel4708 I love it.

[@donotcare44]

Yup, total fool. His anti EV claims in this video don't fit my EV experience at all. Very selective and biased in his claims. I would tell folks to avoid this video because there's too much BS.

[@TheGalantir]

All you have to do is look at the other videos on his channel. Most of them are about compensation cars. This means he hasn't come to the conclusion yet that a car doesn't increase the length of his tinky winky.

[@ExecutiveAutomotiveSociety]

@@TheGalantir very strong argument. I love how you represent the EV community. I want the world to see it.

[@ExecutiveAutomotiveSociety]

@@donotcare44 woah, woah, nobody said, "Anti-EV". Why is it when anyone so much as questions EV they're suddenly "anti-EV." I even said in the video, when we started the new companys were doing well and now we have a watered down mess with everyone being slammed into the market. I'm anti-mandates for sure, but it's great to prove that the cult is alive and well and unwilling to change course as it moves toward saying "you can ONLY have EV." How about you say, "it's okay to have all the cars and companys move to what sells" and we let the market decide?
