E.V.’s are fire balls waiting to happen. Just sitting on car lots catching on fire. A fire ball coming to your home garage. Good luck with with your pile of electric junk.
Bs won’t effect mechanics and parts stores for 25yrs
I wouldn’t worry if I was a mechanic, we’re nowhere near capable to sustain EVs. Also, Combustion Engine vehicles will still be sold. But honestly, even though they’re shooting for 2032, it’s not feasible as I mentioned, we don’t have the infrastructure unless they build more nuclear plants and those take many years to build.
Ev’s still have brakes, tires, air conditioning that still need servicing.
EVs have a cooling system for the battery…… if you missed this major piece of information in your story how can we trust the rest of your information is accurate? I’m sure it’s not accurate but I’m not going to even bother explaining more in this comment
oil + filter costs about $40 and can be changed in your driveway in about 5 minutes. coolant and brake pads are inexpensive, last around 100K and can be changed in your driveway in about 15 minutes.
EvS still consume natural resources…energy isnt just falling from the sky…unless its solar ofcourse
Gee, we will save an estimated $330.00 per year over gasoline powered vehicles. That is assuming that electricity rates don’t increase, which they have increased, here in Las Vegas, by 3 1/2¢ per kw in the last two years. Besides that considering the price of an electric vehicle how many years would it take to make up that $330.00 savings?
It’s a switch and bait with these EV cars. They tell you how much you’re saving not using gasoline but will stiffed you with high registration fees and make other fees on their own. The insurance will the step in to take turns bending you over with more higher cost coverage. That’s western capitalism
Electric cars have no cooling system? That’s not accurate lol
Why I will never buy an EV 😒😒😒
She also failed to mention car insurance is more expensive because of new tech and not many tech mechanics know how to fix, higher registration fees in some states due to weight caused by battery’s, tires if you don’t use the special ones. If somethings wrong with your battery its going to cost you close to a whole new car.
EV’s are not safe in a rural environment and get stranded frequently. they are only viable in urban areas
You can’t carry a bucket of electrons out to your stranded car and pour them into the charge port.
Hmm 2035 right around the ev corner 🤔
2:08 he is wearing a pair of converse on a national tv?
battery replacement will cost an arm and leg
Please report and explain how our aging and decrepit electrical grid is going to handle all these new electric cars? The media is determined to sell this like the car is all that matters! You still have to have somewhere to plug it in. Also, the batteries in electric cars are not eco-friendly! Where are we going to mine all this material? California should be the test case for this with all its broken charging stations and rolling blackouts. Report the truth!
Soooo? We should not move on to something better because the Out House repairmen will have to upgrade their skill set?
Only enough material to make batteries in 2034 according to bureau of mining then what back to horse and buggy?? These people are crazy!
The last snow and ice storm we had here my friend who owns a towing company towed 134 electric cars 6 gas and 9 diesels boy are people in for a rude awakening!
Yeah yeah yeah 🤔🤔🤔
And no place to charge these 🚗 cars, They cannot be extinguished if on 🔥 fire.
Can the power grid in the USA handle all these EVs ?
It is a stupid idea. I am still buying gas vehicle. What happens if the get stuck in the winter storm like last January 2022? I will request to stop this situation.
Keep on dreaming nobody’s buying an electric car. 😂😂😂👎
She only mentions the costs of engine repairs compared to electric motor costs .
She failed to mention costs of brakes, tires , suspension, and more !
Not good at all. We are f—-d
The future is here EVs technology is advancing good bye 1900s
No exhaust system, no cooling system, no motor, no transmission, no starter, no coils, no spark plugs, no injection system, no differential, no 100$ gas refill. I love my Tesla!
Auto mechanic making a living by over charging and ripping consumers off. Good by auto mechanics !
lol they can get new jobs theres so many jobs out there, they will be okay
I can hear the mechanics worrying if spending 5k a month on tools is going to be sustainable for much longer lmao
Mechanics will be very busy. All of us who will never own an electric car will still need mechanics to keep our old cars going.
No catalytic converter to steal either. No transmission to break, and cost about 1/4 to charge vs. filling with gas.
The heck with electric vehicles!!!
there is a cooling system, it’s just not a traditional HIGH PRESSURE cooling system. so it is missing that.
Electric cars are not in that great of a demand, only the media (who push the agenda) and biden want them.
well, it is about time to buy a super reliable gas car.
