Quote from: cingcong on December 30, 2022, 10:15:57for anyone who is ready for his car to break down in the middle of the road, of course, buy an electric car

yet I have not seen a single one ever on the side of the road broken down.

Damn. I see more comments on this than any report from CES xD

Well, this is yet another example as to why EV's won't work. Having to sit in the freezing cold and potentially dying doesn't seem as nice as this guy wants you to think it is. Hybrids-I don't have a problem with, but for all of those people out there that think the EV is the only way to go, sorry but you are dumb. Tesla cars look great, but if you need to charge them for hours on end, ie in this instance, if you have a truck at a campground, driving across the country, etc... the answer is NO.

It doesn't matter where he writes from, man. Truly educated and broad-minded people make up less than 1% of the world's population. Which proves the stupidity of mass comments. How does the majority of the population get a certificate of capacity after school, if the majority is in fact incompetent? =)

Really, the Russian trolls need to work on their English.  Maybe new employees start in fossil fuel influence campaigns until their English is good enough for the big leagues, politics.

I have no intentions of an EV . Never get the fossil fuels engens . To much rely on that type of movement!  Everyone would have move closer to the made location. Then it would be a consintrtiom camp . Then no need for the transportation from a to b ! You had to leave your ev at last shack . No roads just sidewalks !so if you are a free spirit ,live off grid in the deselite wasteland . And enjoy no neighbors. That's where I would be. Fishing , hunting and a big garden !  But then you would have to run you cabbage powered diesel engine to run gen !  For utilities. Hopefully you have a long straw for water from the well . Wouldn't work .  If sucked it up till you had to stop . Keep your lips away from straw as the water collapsed back to bottom of well . You would get sucked down the straw ! Now that would be a trip . Or you could move to a part of country with high humidity to make your water .  Lol , think I'll stop now . Strating to get bummed out !  Crap , now I'll never be the same again. Fizzle. Happy new year LMMO

I am laughing out loud. After all, we are just being assured that they will BE CHEAPER in order to become popular with the masses. Good morning Weston! ))

The funny thing is that you can safely leave an ordinary gasoline or diesel car in the cold at -20-25C for a whole month and nothing will happen to it. The electric car, as soon as the battery heated by itself is quickly discharged, will simply die. Will have to change the battery.

For example, you ended up in a hospital, but there are no relatives and no one will take care of your car. And a bunch of similar situations.

His many, many other videos show that you can indeed use an EV in the middle of winter at insanely low temperature if you don't deep freeze it (leave it outside, far below frozen).

I also noticed nobody's mentioned the fact that an ICE car will also have problems very similar at the same temperatures.

Not only that but one of my co workers said their truck could not even start due to the temperatures.  They had to push it into a garage for it to thaw out.  He said he will be installing a block heater for next time.  So unless your car or truck has a block heater you may not even get your car started.  At least the Tesla has a way to generate heat to warm the battery up.  My only complaint is that it would have been more accurate if he had run the heat system because no one would have all that turned off in -14 degree weather. 

How does one own such an expensive car but doesn't have a garage? If I'm gonna have an expensive car like that and I'm going to have shelter for it, I mean at least a good car cover to help protect it from the weather elements.

QuoteThe Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) said that Tesla EV ranges drop by up to 50.5 percent in cold weather, compared with the ranges that the company stated online.

That's all the unfortunate victims of marketing and buyers of this junk need to know.

Ev cars will go out of style just like 3d glasses we used to have in theaters.  There is nothing new about evs the technology has been around for a long time.  They are not the solution to our problem.

 at first at least understand what is written there. On an internal combustion engine, you can go 1000 km, and with additional canisters for 2000, with almost instant refueling. You won't get far with an electric car. What the authorities of all authoritarian countries really need. To narrow the zone of mobility of bonded serfs as much as possible.

Well to the idiot that said that gasoline engine would be better for running from the authorities well you're a f****** idiot because the EVS can do that too did you not know like some of the  fastest Grand Prix your car is right now or all electric duh they have electric supercars idiot

Electricity will soon rise in price in the US by 10 times. Relative to median income.

Who wants to argue with me?  =)
