I’m sitting here watching this like I can afford an electric car 😭😭💀💀💀😅

Sad that the days of buying a vehicle and it lasting the rest of your life if you do basic maintenance once or twice a year, and you don't abuse it are gone.. :(

It is true what you say about making sure you operate between 20% and 80% for the battery so it doesn't lose range. However if you do this, you basically already lost the 40% range, that you aren't using right from the get go. It is a lose/lose scenario.

I wish someone would ever discuss the human and environmental impact when sourcing the minerals required to build the batteries for all these electric vehicles not to mention their disposal. The health effects of all the electrical exposure.Also the fact that knowone anywhere has enough electrical infrastructure to handle the equivalent requirements of conventional vehicles for our needs. We just can't ignore over a hundred years of progress getting the world where it is. It's not perfect but it's worked. I think its premature and immature to believe this new way can be implemented 100% in just a couple years when the powers that be won't talk about the downside of this electric wave at any cost.

Damn I remember when Scotty first started making car fix it videos. He has come a loooong way. Nice job Scotty.

Cannot charge at home, live in a cold climate, do long trips regularly. 3 strikes, out.

Scotty you make all this stuff understandable thank you 👌👌👍👍

You must be the best in your field. :-) you tend to keep up on the latest and greatest of automotive engineering. Thank you

Drove by a broken down EV on the highway from LA to Las Vegas. AAA tow truck had a GAS generator to pump electricity into the EV. Now that is pretty ironic.

Scotty talking calmly and not laughing! I'm very impressed with the calm demeanor and being willing to change your whole schtick at such an advanced age.

What I find disappointing is the conversions. The dozen or so videos that I've seen are darn near $30,000 and a ton of labor. Some of the videos don't mention the cost at all. There's apparently no options for a low buck ev project. Another great informative video,Scotty.

Eye-opening video. Thanks Mr Scotty

I don't have any experience with EVs but I do have 20 years of experience working on Toyota hybrids. When the Prius first came out, we were told that eventually we would be able to replace individual battery cells rather than the whole battery pack. Well that repair option isn't still available from Toyota. At this point I don't think it ever will be. From what I've heard it's not available from Tesla either. There's obviously a huge difference between the costs for a hybrid battery pack and an EV battery pack. I won't even think about buying an EV unless that repair option is available.

They need to make the brake lights flash when the accelerator is released. They rapidly decelerate without warning.

Great unbiased video. Very refreshing. It would have been entertaining if you had mentioned the cost of replacing an EV battery out of warranty, which is NOT unheard of.

What I have yet to see addressed, and it may be because of a lack of data, is how much more expensive an accident could potentially be. More precisely, how much more likely is it that the battery could be damaged to the point it would require replacement after an accident ?

No wonder EVs and Hybrids are more popular in California were weather is on the 70s for the most part, than the rest of USA. Here in Chicago for instance, batteries aren't very efficient, specially in the cold winters.😨

I live in Texas, don't have a garage, and have no shade to park in at my apartment or at work. Not gonna work. Haha

Good video, Scotty. Direct and to the point. Easy to understand your comments.
