New Video: Most ridiculous arguments against EVs

[Bam Bam]

What do you experts think of this video listing the arguments against EVs?

I started watching it, heard his delivery style, saw how long the video was going to be and thought "I can do better things with my time".

It was very pedestrian and I did the same. But then we already know all that.

Cheers for the initial comments. I came back to ask if I should do a shorter edit of it.

I usually watch videos sped up myself, but perhaps I could speed this up slightly as the default as I do speak slowly. Don't know how to do that but maybe it is possible.

On reflection I suppose I'm speaking at length on each topic for the benefit of those who don't know much about EVs (apart from half-rumours picked up), but the overall format is designed to appeal to EV appreciators. Maybe I haven't judged that well.

I think you need to try it with an EV critic, and see If they are prepared to watch it through.
This forum isn't suitable for testing your purpose.
If you can get it to work, it's a well worthwhile exercise, and kudos to you for trying.
I wish you luck.

Congratulations on trying to combat the fossil fuel powered nonsense.

The quick comparison is a method for shooting down the critics. The EV fire staged for trying different fire fighting methods for EVs by the Victorian fire dept, so much wasted money on using methods that worked on petrol fires, but the simple fire blanket and the fire is contained straight away ...... this makes it better for the environment, the safety of the fire fighters, cost wise and reduces the risk of one vehicle fire turning into a huge inferno .... plus the fire blanket is good for 6 uses ..... a comparison of a diesel truck fire ..... all you can do is attempt to stop the diesel going into a waterway or down a drain, then let the thing burn, you can't put out a diesel fire unless you catch it as it starts .... once the heat is enough, it's self sustaining.

The Chinese battery mandate that EV batteries must not suffer thermal runaway, when will the petroleum industry create fuel that doesn't suffer thermal runaway?

Can you refuel your car from the sun? .... at home? Very low cost or free? Can you plug your house into your ICE car and keep the fridge, CPAP, oxygen concentrator, heating system running? Sure, you could use a generator, but didn't destroy your pollution argument/ When was the last time you read about anyone being overcome by the fumes from an EV being used as an emergency power supply?

The new Na+ EV battery from CATL, uses commonly found materials, last for the equivalent of 500,000 miles and still useable for a house power storage battery after that .... can that be done with the fuel tank, pump and injectors from your ICE powerplant?

What is the manufacturers warranty on your fuel system? 8 to 10yrs? Unlimited miles? What are the comparable service costs over that 10 yrs to maintain any 10 yr warranty? What happens to the used contaminants after your ICE vehicle service?
