Why Are EV Sales Stalling?

Because people now realise they cost a kidney to fix and the resale value is as much as a used condom.

[@EthanSi02]

Yup, in my video I only showed a couple examples of their repair cost but when I was researching I saw that it costs thousands and thousands at the LOWEST to repair them. Absolutely insane!

@@EthanSi02 welp Tesla UK wanted nearly £15000 to replace my battery.

[@EthanSi02]

Oh man that's insane, what did you end up doing?

[@stevenchan3822]

@@EthanSi02 I ended up spending £15000 on a 2015 civic type r lol. I still have the Tesla, it still runs but the range is abit fucked 😂

At least in the EU, specifically Sweden: Cause car manufacturers think that high demand equals limitless price increases, dealers abuse government subsidies as they increase the retail cost by at least what the government grant is and infrastructure is threatened by a shitty EU-level deal on electricity where Sweden is split into 4 regions and southernmost region pays multiple times the electricity cost compared to the rest of the country, or the continent for that matter.

[@EthanSi02]

I will have to look into that, I really didn't know about that going on in Sweden! I think I'll research and make a video about that, seems like an interesting topic.

@@EthanSi02 first hand experience man, BMW iX3 was purchased by my employer as a company car for me, BMW dealer in Malmö sold it to the company for 700.000 SEK AFTER first picking up the government subsidy at 70.000 SEK, practically making my employer the SECOND owner of the car. Everyone did it and consumers got shafted big time, since the government structure changed with the last elections, more conservative government removed the 70.000 SEK grant and has since increased CO2 emissions and lowered taxes on gasoline and diesel, they've also decreased the percentage of renewable gasoline and diesel. This in turn led to further increase in demand for ICE cars and decrease in demand for EVs.

EV sales are up though, only shitty EVs are doing poorly - like Ford.

[@EthanSi02]

Yup! Other brands like Tesla, and rivian are doing great. I mentioned in my video that really only legacy automakers are having troubles with it. I think Hyundai's EVs are doing pretty good though I see them everywhere 😭😂

[@EthanSi02]

I'ma pin your comment bro if you don't mind

[@georgieippolito9924]

Ill stick with home garage fixable gas cars. Ill be more happier to put a cleaner fuel in it than a "industrial cleaner to remove tough stains" That's what gasoline is designed and intended to be until someone invented the internal combustion engine. did you know the Inventor of the diesel engine who mysteriously dissapeard wanted his engines to run off of vegetable oil?

[@RoofShaker]

The only valid electric vehicle is the Porsche Taycan 👀

[@EthanSi02]

Definitely one of the better ones! The new bmw EVs are kinda tempting tbh 👀
