1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,000
electric vehicles they're fast they're futuristic and driving one is probably

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,200
the closest you'll ever come to being Tony Stark but when we compare them to

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:16,119
the gas powered vehicles we already have the question is are they functional

4
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:20,519
let's start with a history lesson EVS have actually been around for over a

5
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:24,960
century now and were even quite popular until the invention of the electric

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:29,679
starter allowed travel over much longer distances thanks to tanks filled with

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,960
petrol and additionally gas vehicles could be refueled quickly at service

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:38,640
stations instead of needing to be charged over time a convenient feature

9
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:41,600
to be sure so then why are consumers so

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:46,440
amped up now compared to the early 2000s when GM's Fleet of ev1s was discontinued

11
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:49,719
and crushed for a variety of totally aboveboard reasons that had nothing to

12
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:54,760
do with an industrywide strategy to kill it a big part of it seems to come down

13
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,320
to sex appeal and some of the recently released and upcoming vehicles are

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,080
actually cool like really cool like sellon locking near Silent Running

15
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:08,200
drivetrain power restricted to keep you from spinning violently off the road

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:13,520
cool but for many Shoppers there are some other factors to consider too

17
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:16,799
number one is the actual practicality and the good news is that this is

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:23,400
rapidly improving with ranges between charges today above 400 km and even up

19
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:25,479
to 650 km depending on conditions charge

20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:30,400
times are rapidly lowering with charge stations being deployed that are capable

21
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:33,240
of delivering 270 km of range in half an

22
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,920
hour and further Innovations coming like battery packs for your home that sit in

23
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:42,600
your garage and allow you to stockpile energy from roof mounted solar panels or

24
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,680
even from the grid during off peak hours when it's both cheaper and less

25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:51,759
environmentally impactful which ties into our second huge purchase

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,040
consideration ecological impact because

27
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,079
while the range and quick refueling of gas vehicles is certainly handy it turns

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,759
out that they emit pollution that depletes the ozone layer the importance

29
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:06,439
of of which caused our Global Leadership to spring into action with no regard for

30
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,920
the profits of private corporations sorry I couldn't even make it all the

31
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,120
way through that because even some of the more credible sounding arguments

32
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:18,480
against EVS like pointing out that burning coal to generate electricity

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,120
also damages the environment have easy counterarguments like well at least it's

34
00:02:20,519 --> 00:02:28,000
easier to regulate and maintain the modernity of a few large scale energy

35
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,599
operations versus having stuff like this

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,599
chugging around on the road but to be fair some government entities do or have

37
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:39,760
begun offering incentives for electric vehicle purchasers and have even begun

38
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:44,040
mandating public charging station allotments it's just that these

39
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:49,280
initiatives often face resistance for more than just big oil for example since

40
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,800
electric vehicles generally require much less maintenance and are therefore

41
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Cheaper to Keep many auto mechanics and

42
00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,120
parts Distributors are understandably upset that we won't need those regular

43
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:04,040
oil changes or spark plug replac ments anymore so all that's left for this

44
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,840
episode given that electric vehicles are amazing right lus is the gotcha shiny

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:14,319
new tech or at least old but recently improved Tech is expensive and lithium

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,480
ion battery production and recycling still has a ways to go before we can

47
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,760
really call that eco-friendly either with a straight face but I hope that

48
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:27,040
most of you watching can Embrace at least the idea of continuous

49
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,680
improvements on electric vehicles leading to a better tomorrow unless

50
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:35,280
that's a truth too inconvenient for you to

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,519
face speaking of inconvenience you know

52
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:45,720
what's inconvenient being a freelance worker or a small business and having to

53
00:03:43,239 --> 00:03:48,879
keep track of on paper or with like your separate accounting software and then

54
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,840
you create a bill for your customer and you mail it to them and then who knows
