Should you buy an electric car? - BBC News

I prefer hydrogen fuel cells.

Yes, it's awesome city driving, good by gas station. 👋🏻

Worth it? EVs are not. The price difference out the door between a base Camry and base Tesla 3 in my market worked out to $20,538. Based on 12,500 miles a year and the price of gas and the efficiency of the Camry, they got to drive their car for free (gas) for 8.55 years till they reached the cost of the Tesla. And in that same time period, the Tesla had to pay for their charging. You don't need a PhD in math to figure that out.

No doubt It's cars are environmental friendly make environment good but increase consumption of electricity 🔌 so government want these cars will come then government will must increase electricity making

Bts ndrc

I already hate having to charge batteries on my phone, my earpieces, my power tools, etc. Definitely would hate having to charge batteries on my vehicle, especially in an urgent or emergency situation.

I heard from a German college that the quality of a Tesla is quite inferior than other competitions. How far is that true

The correct answer is NO. They have a much bigger CO2 impact than your old diesel. The CO2 created in production far outweighs any benefit. Please do your own research before you spend £40,000 thinking your doing your bit for the planet.

Buying no car is even better.

Should you buy an electric car?

NO, I’m in the motor trade and there are too many stories about how unreliable and useless they are. I’ll stick with my tried and tested diesel.

This electric nonsense should be binned for what it is…a complete waste of money.

Electric cars will never be sustainable compared to public transport because of energy consumption!

Specify the goal and need money

please look for evidence that carbon dioxide actually causes climate change. last i look, not a single scientist has published an experiment, which can be repeated by other scientists in their laboratory to prove that carbon dioxide causes climate change. i also found out that carbon dioxide is much denser than nitrogen and oxygen, which add up to 98% of our atmosphere. so there is no way carbon dioxide can go up to the top of the atmosphere to act as a blanket to prevent heat from escaping into space.
i also found out that manufacturing in general produce far more carbon dioxide per annum than fuel burnt by all cars in the same period. planes and ships burn more fuel and produce more carbon dioxide than cars. the electric car is simply a political ideology designed to reduce the power of oil rich nations.

Ça fait pas vroum vroum

Ça pue les voiture électrique

Nous on fais sa en cour

C'est nul le voiture électrique

If a long winter blackout occurs in a land of electric cars most of the population will
perish in the freezing cold. The gas powered car that would provide cabin heat for
many days will not be there. The electric car could only supply heat for a short time
and would quickly discharge its battery making a trip to a shelter impossible.

What do you do if it sets on fire on a road. Shut the road for a week? What do you do if all cars are like these and get stuck in a traffic jam and they all run out of power? How the hell are you gonna provide enough electricity for these to all run. Electric cars are not viable right now so stop pushing them

Electricization 2015-2028 the end of fossil fuel die scrapped

The one Problem is Charging speeds, in a Petrol or Diesel car Filling up takes around 20 seconds but Electric cars take around minimum 20 minutes

What is the UK Gov doing about purchasing Cobalt from Congo, who are the main source (100,000 tonnes/year) of this essential battery material? oops China got there first.

The lithium is a big deal to the planet and carbon footprint. The coal burned to generate the electricity is also a huge carbon footprint. The government are talking about building power electrical stations in forests in the UK. Remember trees absorb and store carbon dioxide. If forests are cleared, or even disturbed, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Forest loss and damage is the cause of around 10% of global warming. Electric cars are worse for the environment

Volvo have already admitted that electric cars are70% worse for the environment due to the energy used and time in producing the parts for them.

People should consider biofuel cars instead.

hello 9yd

U buy one. Still bad for environmental stuff. Worse then a diesel chucking black clouds out of it

Plant more tree's 👌

I got 30 on this video quiz,and I totally hate this video.

It will definitely make the roads quieter that's for sure

Should people buy electric cars? It depends. History proves that most people tend to buy what they can afford. Whenever I am shopping for a car, I look for something that is both affordable and practical. Preowned petrol estate cars that sell for less than £1000 suit me just fine.

red mal deutsch

No

What app did you use to make this video?

No its exaggerated bullshot. They tried to force an electric car evolution many times and many times over the past 50 years it failed. Don't buy into it

who else is here because of there STEM teacher or is it just me

Just make more efficient combustion engine,problem solved.

What about blind people? They listen out for cars, it’s unfair. NO ONE should have an electric car

As an owner of an electric vehicle, I find this video entirely shallow and quite misleading. Certainly expect a lot better from BBC.

Who’s watching this in chungdahm

Electric cars are not the way to go.

Has anyone calculated how many more electric wind farms, power stations etc, we will need just so we can charge up our cars? Most likely at the same time at night after work.
How would smart charging cope with that scenario?
How much work is required to provide every car user with a charging point? And what points are available might already be charging up another car for the next few hours.
What will become of the thousands of used batteries? Tyre mountains already blight the landscape.
Then there is the mass car graveyards as petrol vehicles get scrapped.
Are lorries going electric too?

I would rather we found ways of reducing our consumption than finding new ways of spending it.

My company travel thousands of miles a week, the cost of having an electric fleet of vans and charging them multiple times a day means it's simply not viable for us and other companies to go electric.

What about the ridiculous costs it be to build the infrastructure for electric cars, the power grid will need to be expanded. this 2035 is all going to fail they have no plan at all.

Misleading. Battery is not lead based. People aren't concerned, business is.

Na I'll stick to my loud subie rumble. I will kill myself before I buy a electric car that has no soul. I don't have a shit if it's FaSteR, I want the experience. And ripping through gears in a manual.

Not fair that users of electric cars are not taxed on their fuel!

Petrol and diesel cars are better diesel in the summer because it causes more pollution and it causes more harmful stuff and petrol cars in the winter

I’m perfectly fine with a conventional gasoline car. I don’t need some pricey ass electric car which is not as green as you might think. Especially since you depend on a coal burning power plant to charge it and that the batteries are made of toxic metals, especially lithium and cobalt.
