A hybrid has the 'worst' of everything: A very limited electric range and an underpowered ICE engine.

[@user-jb2om7cm8m]

I just rented one for 2 weeks (not intentionally) and found it horrible to drive. The switching between engine and battery means you never know if you're going to get a nice smooth wind up of power, or a nasty jack rabbit 'instant torque' which is the last thing you need in a tight parking space, or pulling out on a wet surface. The regen braking feels exactly like a stuck emergency brake, so you have to push the car down hills instead of coasting. It felt great to get back in my normal car.

Ill help you out here, and note that im against BEVs: Sales of BEVs in the UK has actly stopped growing since 2022. It flatlined at ~16% market share. That was also the percentage for the H1 2024, but anything can happen for H2. No solid numbers that i could find so far, n i cant find any YoY numbers yet, kinda annoying.

Before I comment further, I can afford new cars and my oldest is 6 years and the newest under 3 years so the comment is not sour grapes or envy. Under no circumstances should taxpayer monies be used to subsidize a private expenditure and this includes cars, housing, and any other goods. There are taxpayers who will never be able to afford a newish used car let alone a new car and they should not be subsidizing others to have the privilege of owning a new car. The Germans were right to end the subsidy on 31 December 2023 and the Australian Government should reverse the FBT concessions so that EV purchases are taxed properly. It is interesting that the German EV sales IMMEDIATELY dropped once the subsidy ended and overall are 30% down with the (formerly) over-priced Tesla faring even worse. I would venture that the EV market here for the dearer EVs would immediately slump too if subsidies were withdrawn. English leasing companies found out last year and Australian ones are finding out now that with 3 and 4 year leases coming to an end, that the lessee owes far more than the vehicles can be sold for or traded in for. The loss of course needs to be funded by the lessee.

For them. That’s because they have to find some way of neutralising the 300 series they want to sell. Doesn’t hurt that hybrids likely have fatter margins given how much they hiked prices over the last couple of years.

[@arsyadidris6349]

I have a feeling that their 5L V8 will hang around as long as it can, probably for a few more years… but yeah, only in the niche cars like the LC, IS and RC. And the JDM century ofcourse.

[@TheStuffMade]

When will the governments start upgrading the grids and build new power plants to match their projected EV numbers?

[@fredfred2363]

"Wallet emptying to repair". Yep, i can testify that that statement is true. Somone i know with a (won't name the Model) EV had to have a seat controller repair done. Cost thosands... and was still under warranty. They said he was too "large" for the seat. They couldn't simply swap the mechanism over. They had to reprogram everything, since all the modules were individually coded for the car. So using used parts from a scrap car is also not feasable, as non-main dealers have no access to the security codes to pair up newly fitted modules. But this seems to be the trend with ALL new cars, not just EVs.

[@seekingtruth3054]

Correct. Activist journalists who want to make something sound better always use percentages. If there were actually a million cars sold you can bet that number would have been published repeatedly.

[@timothykeith1367]

The Electric Viking says that EV sales are booming in Europe. How can Sam Evans get such a different view of EV sales? Sam usually says, "experts say", but then he doesn't identify the source of the optimistic EV news. As long as EV subsidies and tax credit are available, then EV demand can't be going well.

[@DwaynePipes]

Has MGUY reported UK June sales? No? Wonder why? 🙊🙈🙉

[@RonaldShakespeare-tk7jx]

Unfortunately Sam Evan’s won’t say where he gets his information from. He deliberately ignores me every time I give him information that he is wrong and his pathetic brainless followers believe everything he says. It’s not worth listening to his diatribe, just have a good laugh and think about him as a fantastic new battery he gets excited about that never gets manufactured and used in new vehicles, He’s only a pipe dream with in the EV vapour wear.

[@Ozsmallbore]

​@@DwaynePipes Any small rise in June in the UK was solely driven by massive unsustainable discounting of EV's by manufacturers desperate to avoid the massive fines coming their way by not selling the mandated volume. For those that don't know, the UK gov has mandated that EV's make up 22% of vehicle sales in 2024 or face a 15000 Pound fine for each one they fall short. Currently it is just over 16%. What it means is sales of EV's will have to almost double for the rest of the year. It is heading for a train wreck.

Germany has one of the more favorable environments for using EVs: commutes of less than 50 kms and “long trips” of usually less than 500 kms. Also not much cold weather and a sadly greenwashed majority of people. But recent Green party policies have actually made EVs less attractive: they abolished generous EV subsidies and switched off nuclear power, leaving us with nearly the most expensive electricity in Europe and not much savings for EV owners. Thankfully the subsidies that distorted the market are gone and predictably EV sales tanked. If EVs are not attractive or competitive in Germany, how much worse for long distance countries like Canada, Australia and the US?

People don't realize the number of trees destroyed in the production of the electric car. The EV battery is classed as hazardous material and must be packed in a container as stipulated by the Department of Transportation. Usually, this a large padded box made of timber or plywood and adds around $2,000 to the price of the car. The size of the box is about the size of a two-door refrigerator. So, if they produce 1 million batteries, they also must produce 1 million boxes for the transportation of batteries and that’s a lot of timber which means a lot of trees felled.
