EVs' Serious Problems That Carmakers Are Hiding

The Dark Truth About Electric Cars . EVs are undoubtedly the best solution to the environmental issues we face. Along with lowering our carbon footprint, cars like Tesla and Lucid Air provide the best in battery, specs, and luxury. But the EV industry is not without its problems!

The Electric Vehicles Biggest Issues

[dgraja]

the main issue is choice. dont force me to buy EV by eliminating gas cars or taxing them heavily or some other trick.

A new issue at least in the UK is where people are stealing the cables at the charging stations for the tiny bit of copper, disabling the charging stations.

Now I know how important it is to take very good care of my current gasoline vehicles.

This story totally missed some major EV environmental issues: —- What about — the RARE EARTH METALS that have to be sourced and mined for the production of EV batteries. Next, how the electricity gets produced — Just because you don’t have a tailpipe does not mean you are not producing emissions. Combustion engines produce energy, batteries just store energy (and the energy has to come from somewhere). It is a farce when EV owners think they are saving the planet, when you include the total supply and manufacturing chain - this isn’t true at all.

When an EV battery can be recharged as fast as a gas tank can be filled, then I will be interested.

I don’t have the kind of cash flow to warrant purchasing a high priced EV. If the government are mandating all cars needs to be electric, they need to seriously look at who can really afford these EVs…

[sargonixofur]

It’s a big con.
The timescales being adopted by governments to force people to adopt these vehicles is all about taking away personal transport from ‘peasants’.

If I understand correctly, lithium battery production is bad for the environment. Disposal of used lithium batteries isn't good for the environment either. Then there is the issue of how the electricity is generated, to charge the vehicle's batteries. Solar panel farms don't work so well on cloudy days, or at night. Wind farms have been known to fail in freezing weather and when they wear-out, their components are buried in large landfills, since they can't be recycled. When newer battery technology replaces lithium batteries, and the electricity supply production is resolved, EV vehicles may start making headway in replacing the internal combustion engine. As is stands now, EV's are a novelty item for those who can afford them, and only plan to use them for driving short distances.

[robertlewis]

I didn't hear anything about the environmental impact of increased lithium production, or the other ingredients for the battery packs ! WHY NOT ?
The pretend to be greens never mention this, WHY ?

Stopping for 45 minutes during a road trip is a deal breaker. I can pump enough diesel for around 600 miles in about 5 minutes at a commercial pump. Stopping for 45 minutes every 300 miles adds 2 hours to a 900 mile day.

As my father used to say, "No ruddy way in the World, son!" Only an IT guy could design such a crass vehicle.

The biggest issue I see is a lot of the core demographic doesn't have the ability to charge at home. People in some neighborhoods in bigger cities often only have street parking available. People who live in apartments also can't just simply plug a cord into the car coming from the wall.

I live in a rural area, with large distances between work, home, and groceries, all in different towns. In winter, it is 0 degrees outside, in summer, it is normally around 100 degrees. EV's just don't work out here. Yet, my state is sunsetting gas car sales without lifting a finger to add in the needed infrastructure. I am not opposed to shifting to an EV, but where I live, they just aren't funtional.

[metoo]

"if we're hoping to turn all electric by 2030"? Lol. There's no hope whatever for that.

[davannaleah]

Living my life as dictated by my car as opposed to driving my car as dictated by my life...I know what I would choose! This is doomed to fail. I used to drive from Sydney to Canberra and back again in a day... not with an EV.

[randymonk]

95% of all electric vehicles are still on the road. The other 5% made it all of the way home.

[bille]

It's ALL OUR FAULT. Government keeps pushing their foot on our necks, AND WE JUST LET THEM.
NO ONE DOES OR SAYS ANYTHING

I am on disability and couldn't afford to buy a 30 year old used car much less a new electric car. My pickup is 23 years old and has been well maintained. 235, 000 miles and doesn't use oil or leak antifreeze. Ot has a V-6 that still gets 24 miles per gallon and starts no matter the weather. I love my F-150 and will drive it till the wheels fall off.

[AccordionJoe]

Three minutes at a gas pump versus 24 hours to fully charge an EV. That's why I will drive my gas-powered SUV until the wheels fall off.

When I watch videos talking about positive things about EVs, I hear about public and environmental health, but I don't hear anything about my wallet and it's my wallet that's going to buy the EV, if I'm convinced it's a good deal. But when I ask about price, I'm typically branded as being anything but an authentic realist asking about factors that are important to me. I've never been in an EV and while I'm open to them, I'm far from sold on them. For me it's not about resisting any inevitable change headed our way, it's about making sure the cost of whatever someone might be trying to force my way is affordable to my wallet and I don't lose my house trying to buy and maintain an EV.
