I’ve just bought my first EV here in the US, a Tesla model Y, as they have in place a very robust charging network in the US. The writing is on the wall for ICE passenger vehicles and I feel 2023 was the year that EV’s started a significant acceleration phase in the US on the S curve. Most of my buddies say I’m a fool as it will be my primary vehicle, telling me I’ll have to buy a 2nd gas powered car. I think they will be joining the party before they know it! 🤭

[@Hybridog]

Your buddies have never heard of rent cars? If you want to take a long trip, which might be difficult in an EV right now, go rent a car. This is not difficult thinking, but most EV critics either don't realize it or purposefully ignore this simple fix to lack of range and lack of truly ubiquitous charging facilities.

Very professional presentation and I agree 100% with what is being done. I lived and worked in the San Joaquin Valley in the city of Fresno, California where we had , in the fall of the year, inversion layers of air bringing the pollution and keeping the pollution from automobiles near ground level. Because of my allergies, my doctors told my family we had to move closer to the coast, where the air was cleaner. 5 years ago I purchased a Tesla Model 3. Within a couple of years , I placed solar panels on the roof of my home. However, living close to the beach I discovered two roads only blocks from my house plugged in early morning traffic. Those two roads were filled with people driving their internal combustion engine vehicles which were and are bumper to bumper for hours and pollute the morning breezes coming from the ocean. In the afternoon the same bumper-to-bumper traffic pollute the air as the drivers return from work. 25 years ago, we could open the windows and breathe clean fresh air. However today, that is impossible. I applaud this president for taking action on a problem that needs strong leadership to correct. I thank you for covering this topic and not throwing Fear-Uncertainty + Doubt at this topic.❤

[@ukpaullouis2708]

Few talk about this but at some point ICE (Profit) sales will get to a point where they no longer are viable (loss making) (due to lack of demand) and with no profit on EV platforms Automakers will face a catastrophic event where nothing they produce is profitable. As most manufacturers “put cars together”, from parts from other companies, these “companies” will loose all of their profit making products too. Thus, at some point they too will have a catastrophic loss of demand and therefore profit. My point is that this “point” where everything becomes catastrophic is way closer than most think. With continued massive EV adoption, the total collapse of ICE sales and the 2nd hand ICE car sales collapse plus all the new emissions standards and a sub $25k car about to be put in the market this catastrophic profit loss point will come faster than most think.

(See, eg, cafe standards in late 70s/early 80s.) It also primes the pump for more government incentives.

“You never hear Tesla saying their destiny is out of their control.” That’s exactly right. Tesla went out at great expense and built an excellent charging network.

Yes you did Elon is the n record saying government grants loans .Meaning tax payers really, and space x and other secret government contracts saved him many times over from bankruptcy. He has also been able to bypass laws that demand you have dealerships and service centers not just contractors and online sales in the state to save those jobs. And also does not have to deal with a union and yes he makes cars in Christ na as well like apple and Microsoft and most car makers. This is what makes it pure gas car discrimination, by having the government, not the market, not the people pick winners and losers in the car market. Ford and others that have to sustain a dealership and service network and gas cars that get no tax credits only survive and make profits to make evs because their gas cars are paying the bills and employing workers who can still afford a new car barely. Car companies are not in business to make Tesla rich through energy credits and special preferred treatment for Tesla cars over theirs. Communist governments should butt out and let people, not them, decide on what car to buy with no carbon taxes mileage restrictions or other gas car discrimination . Unfortunately people actually believe the lie that evs will make the earth last longer and be cleaner. Anyone who knows about the mining and production waste pollution and virtually no recycling of an EV solar panels wind farms not to mention dead animals and land turned into worthless poisonous land will know this is an EV scam to destroy our grid allow big brother to step in with limits and more restrictions on our lives.

And it’s got to come from innovation from both new ICE’s, new battery technologies (we need massively lighter cars on the road… pulling weight isn’t very sustainable)…

Prices cannot drop dramatically unless the government produces the batteries for free, or, supply is moved to China who uses state power to make the batteries "affordable". That's what VW is doing with the new micro bus. Toyota will, Nissan Will soon. After this occurs at scale (even the USA gov can't make it that cheap), battery plants, car plants will be shuttered. You'll get your precious cheaper EV. it'll be communist, shipped in and at the expense of your neighbours jobs. other than that, Tesla will build something for the elites who have jobs until they too are moved to China in the coming years.

[@ordinaryhuman5645]

It's more of a when than an if, and it doesn't even need to happen as ICE vehicles get more expensive. Existing EVs will fall in price in the used market as more newer and better EVs are produced. It's not "new EV vs 15 year old asian subcompact", it's "new EV vs new ridiculous legacy auto behemoths costing $50k+", since legacy auto is moving away from producing unprofitable affordable vehicles. In that sense, (Tesla 3/Y) prices are already reasonable for a typical new car buyer.

[@larryevans6739]

Tesla supports stricter standards in the US because their net margin is highly dependant on regulatory credit sales. The stricter the standards, the more they sell. Toyota and Honda vehicles tend to have better average fuel economy, so they will not be buying as many credits as truck-dependent Ford, GM and Chrysler... However, if we really wanted to cut emissions, we would end regulatory credit sales. Tesla sales are enabling the sale of gas-guzzling trucks.

Ya Europe and the USA must realize that, if Lithium is the EV battery chemistry; it has zero chance to achieve production goals that would impact CO2. Annual lithium production means a max 6 Million Y packs, in a world market of 80-100 million light vehicles? The same amount of lithium could make 60 million hybrids. If sodium can be made to last; it is abundant enough, as a result cheaper, more scalable. Otherwise EVs are a niche. A further argument for Hybrids is exemplified by the Prius plugin - with an all EV range of 40 miles. That covers most commutes, EV advocates are the first to point out most commutes can be done on a days solar charge with 10 panels - or about 30 miles range; so Hybrids can be all electric 80--90% of the time.

I am just curious here in the US what will happen to all these EV and emission standard initiatives by a certain year will still go should the Republicans control the majority of the government laws and spending. Will they look more towards still using fossil fuels and keep the ICE vehicles going. Or do they even care about climate changes and keep plugging away as we are doing now. There are always two different camps of people, those who like EV's and those that don't, and that will never change. I am not sure how much of the EV push by a certain time frame and setting climate change standards are a political thing. Just wondering how this is going to play out as the US government changes hands to the different parties in the years to follow.

[@terryward1422]

There appears to be a strong backlash against these new emissions regulations so they may not pass. But 80% of consumers switch to a EV in the next five years it won't matter much. It the new (LMFP) EV battery can come down in price by 60% in the next 5 years the emissions regulations won't matter much. Remember that Tesla's advantage will be the economies of scale it achieves withh making batteries for its energy division and its automotive division. We should know how the chips will fall in the next 36 months

They cannot seem to pick a plan and follow through with it, and when that happens, you are doomed! The reason why is because when you pick a plan and follow through with it, you can learn from that plan when or lose, you can learn from it. If you keep changing your plan, you cannot learn anything.

[@scottiswatchingtele]

their goals is to make it change constantly. that's how they got billions from VW, TDi's off the road (which were the #1 engine in the world) and set forth the EV mandates. The back-and-forth is designed to issue fines & lawfare complaince to EV only future, which is suicide to any OEM. Fast forward - those who own ICE will be nickel-and-dimed until they give up their ICE car. This is the power of The State and it does nothing for anyone except China & The buddies of The State who are given billions to waste on this endeavour which is nothing short of stupid.

[@ronkemperful]

While I say that this is about time, for such regulations for the USA; I wouldn’t hold my breath about any enforcement or implementation. Even in Biden’s own party there is pushback against greenhouse gas reduction- from the coal, gas and guess what, the legacy auto industry. It’s because of the auto industry that the USA never went metric in 1970, and it’s because of their powerful lobbying in union with congress that American will be very backward in the EV market.

It won't happen as the world is fast approaching terminal decline of conventional oil production (peak oil). Furthermore, shale oil isn't going to save America because such wells typically peak within two to three years, making the recoup of investment impossible. That is to say, shale oil is a boondoggle. Remove government subsidies, and the industry dies. And if some do reverse the rules, it won't be for long!

You ignore the fact that the electric car mandate will disappear if a Republican is elected president. If the electric car mandate becomes too onerous it could become a political issue that will elect a Republican. It is a very fluid situation that requires complete buy-in by US voters.

11 more model years and they will not be able to even sell ICE cars in many states, including the most populous ones. I am no Tesla fanboy, mainly because I really like driving 2 seat roadsters. Tesla's next roadster will cost WAY more than my 20 BMW Z4. The MG Cyberster would be perfect, but not coming to USA.

It is NOT the job of the govt. to write path of where the future goes for the people they govern. THE PEOPLE are the ones whom are suppose to be in charge of that. The people vote for representatives to ensure their points opinions are taken into consideration. "Agencies/Regulatory bodies" bypass this "representation". Each of these bodies then become like Oligarchs regulating to benefit POCKETS not the people. Most the Green initiatives have a tiny merit....... but are massively massively over exaggerated to use as a tool to excuse why the regulatory body should steer things in a particular direction. Aka- toward chosen Oligarch like business pals/orgs to enrich each other. Tiny truths turned into massive lies by elites who love playing power games with other peoples lives. The shear power of this game sucks them in.... power is addicting.... they must feed it. They suck good hearted people in like Electric Viking..... conning them into doing their bidding to help steer their massive power sucking engines.... so sad.

Legacy car companies have missed a trick. They should be designing and manufacturing ev conversion kits for existing models. If mass produced for popular models, they could keep costs down. As clean air zones come in and ICE owners get persecuted, this could be a great option for them. For rarer , classic and older models, the cost should be reflective. They have this whole infrastructure of dealerships. Training their employees to do conversions would be a great way to bring them over to the new technology. I've worked in the motor trade. The repetition of standard fit conversions would be a good way to do this. The new battery technologies are making this more and more viable. The legacy companies can turn a profit with this while they transition their ranges. There are companies already doing this work. The legacy companies could buy them up if needed. It makes sense to me.

[@satoau1]

they're not run by automotive engineers anymore so nobody at the top of any car company will look at that and think about what they can do, instead they're run by MBA's who are only capable of making businesses decisions, so they look at all the factories they've got making current model cars and think why would we pay to build new ones and shutter all these?
