Americans Refuse to Buy EV’s… Why?

cars cars cars we Americans will buy and drive almost anything, no matter how expensive and unreliable it is, as long as it runs on gasoline, not looking good for President Biden's EV push, interest in vehicles electric is only 41%, charger number one, two, three. this one is broken, broken and also broken, come on you can do it. An error was detected. I'm a fan of a big fan. No oil changes, no fan belts, no exhaust. It says cash only. Where would I put the cash? A fast charge only gives you a little. It has little range and takes a long time to charge, it will be expensive to insure.

Tesla's insurance is much more expensive than other major automakers. Oh, and by the way, it's cold outside and those batteries don't work that well, so you know. there's the EV boo boom in America, producers start mass layoffs, you know, about a year ago this would have been fake news, but it's real and Eevees were supposed to be the sustainable future of this country, but it does not seem that that is going to be the case. This is no longer happening because EV demand is now going in the wrong direction, in 2022 EV sales increased by 76% and in 2023 overall demand peaked at around 9% of vehicles purchased, but that same year car dealers wrote a letter requesting mercy from the electric vehicle mandate because sales had started to fall rapidly and that is a problem because by 2030, 2/3 of all vehicle sales must be electric cars unlike this Audi V10 and the reason why electric vehicles are not selling and piling up in dealerships.

A lot of it doesn't have to do with the usual concerns about things like range anxiety, yes that's part of it, but the real reason these things don't sell is something no one wants to talk about, so to To understand the real reason why electric vehicle sales are bottoming out, we have to look further. the short-term problems that many people have with electric vehicles because many of them have solutions or at least will be in the near future and there are long-term problems with electric vehicle ownership that no one at a dealership is going to tell you about. sure, and there are actually four key reasons why people are losing interest in electric vehicles and range anxiety is the biggest one.

I know Jeff Flock, so range anxiety is a very common reason people don't want to buy an electric vehicle. My lease is up for a while. vehicle this year and I probably won't get one. I want to be able to go places and not worry about how I'm going to get back. That would really ruin your plans and it's a big deal, but it's just surface level. because things will be done to electric vehicles to help them get the same range as current gas vehicles but doing so will be incredibly expensive and even if it happens there are still other problems that will never go away, think about this for example just being in a cold environment, the range of the electric vehicle drops a lot because the batteries are not as efficient when it's really cold like this Tesla, if it's really cold at night and you're just sitting here on the side of the road, you're going to have to keep warm , this is an even bigger problem in New York City, where in most cases you can't park on the street and plug it in, and another problem is that even if charging is implemented everywhere, you still have the issue of charging time, you can gas up a car in 10 minutes and have maximum range, but some of these chargers can take hours and will only give you partial range and the idea of ​​a road trip in one of these things.

If you're going to have to stop five times to go 800 million, you might be better off renting or buying something that uses gas so you don't have a headache now charging a Tesla like this for about half of it. one hour you can get an additional 150M range, but if you stop five or six times you are adding several hours to your total trip and that is why even if you have chargers everywhere, these are all pretty short range vehicles because the charging time takes a long time and that's not going to change at all the batteries that are in these things, they can only charge at a certain speed, charge them too fast and they'll explode like those exploding electric bikes you see on the internet, and that means even if If you shell out a small fortune for an electric Mercedes-Benz, it may very well be state-of-the-art today, but in a world where electric vehicles have taken over America's roads, today's electric vehicles, even if they come from here, will be Totally Obsolete and you won't see any of them and people think they were doing something good for the environment and realize that giving up the high carbon lifestyle is not as easy as people thought, although John Krey and They tell Al Gore. us, this is what we have to do to save the planet, but it has actually increased, so according to Mr.

Petroleum, who they had as a contributor on Fox News, the Eevees are not actually saving the world because sources of energy that power your electric vehicle when it is charging. They are as dirty as the gas that comes out of people's exhaust pipes. New York City has a mandate for electric vehicles and get this, much of New York City's energy comes from oil and fuel energy sources. It's actually a redistribution of pollution from the tailpipe to wherever the energy is. the source is that, but that's not the only problem: the lithium-ion batteries in these things cannot be manufactured without human suffering, the components they contain are dangerous to obtain, and the people who extract them suffer many different health risks and humanitarians are wondering how the electric vehicle revolution will happen without increasing the number of people putting themselves at risk to make the batteries for those cars, and what that means is an equitable world full of electric vehicles that all the world wants Today's electric vehicles will have no part in that future due to where the batteries come from and, just like owning this beautiful Bentley, it will be a financial nightmare for the buyer.

Electric vehicles have tons of hidden costs that buyers don't really think about when they buy them. How much does it cost to replace the wiper blade? I still don't know the prices of the parts, where do you buy that wiper from the TLA service center? I can't get it at AutoZone yet, not that I know we talk to more than a few Tesla owners and they generally love their cars so much that many of them may not realize how much Tesla insurance is actually costing them it is much more expensive than other major automakers it will be expensive to insure so as a non owner I had no idea the insurance rates for these things were much higher if you crash your cyber truck they will need a new panel body kit for this and I guess although having one means you no longer have to pay for things like oil changes or other things like the cost of insurance, even on a basic Tesla, is much higher than most people expect, which should be factored into people's purchasing decisions.

In fact, according to market observation, it is 50% more expensive to buy a Tesla than a similarly equipped gasoline alternative, but there are other costs associated with these that people don't think about either, while some garages do a lot of repairing on their electric vehicle, don't want or don't know how to cook, says some of the big insurance companies don't even write policies for cars like Tesla, basically a luxury car. that's very easy because of the cost of fixing it, so the real problem here is that these things are so complex and filled with computers that if something goes wrong, you need someone who actually knows what they're doing to fix it. or you have to throw it all away like you would your phone if it breaks and breaks, that's also part of the reason why a used electric vehicle will depreciate so quickly unless of course it's a used cybertruck and imagine the repair nightmare. any kind of small accident is going to happen on this, like looking at the headlight here, that's so impressive, but it's a long trip along the front of the vehicle, it has cool looking mechanical triangular mirrors with a little bit coming out of camera right there, it's probably recording. us right now, but a rear-end collision that is so common in New York that it could total one of these check this out, a rivan owner reported a $42,000 repair bill after a minor rear-end collision and then the other issue is whether you are a mechanic and you are working on one of these, now you are working with high voltage, that is not the case if you want to fix a gas car, a mistake with a Tesla that could really be bad for your health, this decision and that is A risk that not everyone wants to take, it takes specialized equipment to fix these things and specialized training, which also increases the cost of repairs.

Additionally, these things also pose a high risk to first responders at the scene of an accident because again you have this huge battery that could discharge electricity and really hurt someone and that's part of the reason why insurance policies can be a nightmare. The goal of your insurance company is to make money by collecting premiums and not paying them when something goes wrong, which explains why there is such a thing as a pleasure to deal with. I'm not sure I would have let myself drive in a Tesla. I mean, he's a great driver. I love him to death, but even in a messy accident in a high school parking lot, you're talking a lot of money to get him. that replacement, yes I think a Tesla is probably a bad car for a teenager, but another thing people don't think about is that the weight of these vehicles actually causes the tires to wear out faster.

We're talking about 20% more tire wear on average, but that's not even the main reason why people are struggling to argue that buying them is a good idea, so this is the first big problem with the current EVS. : There may be a charger here on this side of the road, but it can only charge. two vehicles there are no chargers anywhere else on the street and charging is not just a problem here in New York, it's a problem everywhere charger number one two 3 we visited 30 DC fast charging locations there was only one small problem, This one is broken, broken and and also broke.

Over 40% of the chargers in this video had problems and that means if you're here and you're on this charger, there's almost a 5050 chance that it won't work, but when was the last time you went? to a gas station and 50% of the pumps were not working. EV charging is basically a disaster if it's not done at home and that's a problem in a lot of places, but specifically here in New York where we have an EV mandate that's going to go into effect in 2030 and let's say you live here in this small apartment and you want to buy an electric vehicle, where are you going to charge it? driveway and there is no on-street charger and New York really has no plans to implement curbside charging on every sidewalk, which means once you buy an EV here, it's going to go away unless you're this guy with lucky or this lucky guy, right?

Here, fortunately, this car is not parked blocking all the chargers and if the most reliable place to charge an EV is inside your house, not outside where you might want to drive it, how are they not short range vehicles? I actually inspected 126 charging. 27% of those posts were simply out of service, meaning they had a signal or error saying the charger was not available out of service EO, so I think the problem here is that everything else we plug in and We charge like our phone isn't. It will plug in like a car here potentially and throw some kind of error saying it can't charge itself, but apparently that's common.

Imagine having a dead battery and you find one of these things and you think it's your lifesaver and then it fails. in your case, public charging is essentially the curse of ownership of all vehicles $150 tiet sir, okay, because understand no one matters there, $150 ticket, it's a $150 electric car charger, the street St is close, why close, that's poage, close, white, close, no, no, do it if you park. here like this van and you are not using the charger you get a ticket this actually says that even an electric vehicle that is parked here cannot be parked here if it is not plugged in and actively charging and this inconvenience like we are witnessing in thismoment. that's just an unnecessary burden of ownership that you don't have if you have a normal car like the truck that's parked here.

The other problem is that when one of these Chargers breaks down, they have to send someone who knows what they're doing to come over. Get out here and fix it and the more chargers there are, the more technology it's going to take and that's going to be very expensive and you can bet that if people want better service, more reliable charging networks, you're going to need more people to maintain them. and that will increase the price to charge your car. Almost 10% of the positions visited had problems with payment. It says cash only. Where would I put the cash?

Yes, there were specifically repeated problems with the credit card. Why are you calling me? Try another one each. All of these problems seem so basic and rudimentary that they should be fixed. Pay. Come on, this is America. You have trouble taking a credit card. These particular ones use an app that you have to download and there is no way to swipe a card on these. I guess the problem has been eliminated, but this just goes back to the idea that trying to use one of these in an emergency situation might be a bad idea and might not work as needed, even if a payment error is detected.

This can be The most frustrating of all is when the car and charger do not connect to each other. When you plug the charger into the car, the two have to talk to each other and send information to each other, so the other problem here is that plugging in the car isn't enough. It's not like plugging in your phone when you plug in your phone, it's like plugging in an air conditioner: it just absorbs the amount of power it needs and that's it, but here this box has to specifically communicate with the car to make sure everything is okay.

You can see in the port. Here are all the different error codes that could flash everything from red to green. It's almost like they expect you to have it. compatibility issues and Tesla is very smart, they built their own charging network so that their cars always correctly speak the same language as their chargers so they don't have these kinds of problems, but everything else, this kind of open source open port It's about what this is all about. much more complicated than a gas pump and critics say there is actually a living example right now of the disaster that awaits America if the country leaves and we are going to go see it ah Herz renar they were going to do everything they could EVS to revitalize their brand and give it a good push, but it hasn't worked and now they are forced to go back to relying primarily on gasoline powered vehicles and if you've been watching this video and paying attention, I know why it hurts for a few months after bankruptcy.

They say they are going to order 100,000 Tesla Model 3s, but it seems that the decision to bet on Tesla has only made the richest man in the world richer. The deal worked out quite well for Tesla. Its shares rose. Herz's stock also rose, but then, when it turned out that customers weren't really interested in renting electric cars, his stock fell. Herz says the EVS investment hurt them. Financial and critics say that could happen to the country if electric vehicle mandates become a reality. Despite an investment of at least $2.5 billion, the expected demand from corporate and private clients has not materialized.

The demand that emerged tended to come from customers who already owned Teslas or electric vehicles. What worked, then what went wrong. Well, practically everything. Herz invested $2.5 billion. on this whole EV thing, but that didn't really change consumer preferences in any way, people still wanted to rent gas cars and what do you think people want when they rent a car? They want a convenient family experience and they certainly don't. having to deal with something running out of power and not knowing how to get more out of it, especially if it's a vacation or a road trip with the family and here's another question: what happens if you rent an electric vehicle but the Aparthotel or Airbnb don't allow it?

I don't have charging infrastructure, so what are you going to do if you park on the street? It's not like you can run a cable from your window. Check this out, we have a little electric vehicle right here from the parks department. That makes sense because the city has the infrastructure set up to charge them and whether the only people brave enough to rent an EV or the people who already own them, what Herz effectively did was limit his customer base to around 1%. of drivers in the country and what that could mean is if Electric vehicles are mandatory Society could undergo profound changes What do you think about electric vehicle ownership?

It is a good idea? Are you willing to come here and rent a Tesla and try it out? I think if Herz gets the Cyber ​​truck people will try it, that's for Sure, let me know what you think, thanks for watching. See you in the next video.
