00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.000
electric vehicles they're fast they're futuristic and driving one is probably

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.200
the closest you'll ever come to being Tony Stark but when we compare them to

00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:16.119
the gas powered vehicles we already have the question is are they functional

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:20.519
let's start with a history lesson EVS have actually been around for over a

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:24.960
century now and were even quite popular until the invention of the electric

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:29.679
starter allowed travel over much longer distances thanks to tanks filled with

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:32.960
petrol and additionally gas vehicles could be refueled quickly at service

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:38.640
stations instead of needing to be charged over time a convenient feature

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:41.600
to be sure so then why are consumers so

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:46.440
amped up now compared to the early 2000s when GM's Fleet of ev1s was discontinued

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:49.719
and crushed for a variety of totally aboveboard reasons that had nothing to

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

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:59.320
to sex appeal and some of the recently released and upcoming vehicles are

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:04.080
actually cool like really cool like sellon locking near Silent Running

00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:08.200
drivetrain power restricted to keep you from spinning violently off the road

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:13.520
cool but for many Shoppers there are some other factors to consider too

00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:16.799
number one is the actual practicality and the good news is that this is

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:23.400
rapidly improving with ranges between charges today above 400 km and even up

00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:25.479
to 650 km depending on conditions charge

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:30.400
times are rapidly lowering with charge stations being deployed that are capable

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:33.240
of delivering 270 km of range in half an

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.920
hour and further Innovations coming like battery packs for your home that sit in

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:42.600
your garage and allow you to stockpile energy from roof mounted solar panels or

00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:46.680
even from the grid during off peak hours when it's both cheaper and less

00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:51.759
environmentally impactful which ties into our second huge purchase

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.040
consideration ecological impact because

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.079
while the range and quick refueling of gas vehicles is certainly handy it turns

00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:01.759
out that they emit pollution that depletes the ozone layer the importance

00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:06.439
of of which caused our Global Leadership to spring into action with no regard for

00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:09.920
the profits of private corporations sorry I couldn't even make it all the

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.120
way through that because even some of the more credible sounding arguments

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:18.480
against EVS like pointing out that burning coal to generate electricity

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.120
also damages the environment have easy counterarguments like well at least it's

00:02:20.519 --> 00:02:28.000
easier to regulate and maintain the modernity of a few large scale energy

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.599
operations versus having stuff like this

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.599
chugging around on the road but to be fair some government entities do or have

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:39.760
begun offering incentives for electric vehicle purchasers and have even begun

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:44.040
mandating public charging station allotments it's just that these

00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:49.280
initiatives often face resistance for more than just big oil for example since

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.800
electric vehicles generally require much less maintenance and are therefore

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.680
Cheaper to Keep many auto mechanics and

00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.120
parts Distributors are understandably upset that we won't need those regular

00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:04.040
oil changes or spark plug replac ments anymore so all that's left for this

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.840
episode given that electric vehicles are amazing right lus is the gotcha shiny

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:14.319
new tech or at least old but recently improved Tech is expensive and lithium

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:18.480
ion battery production and recycling still has a ways to go before we can

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:22.760
really call that eco-friendly either with a straight face but I hope that

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:27.040
most of you watching can Embrace at least the idea of continuous

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.680
improvements on electric vehicles leading to a better tomorrow unless

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:35.280
that's a truth too inconvenient for you to

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.519
face speaking of inconvenience you know

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:45.720
what's inconvenient being a freelance worker or a small business and having to

00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:48.879
keep track of on paper or with like your separate accounting software and then

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

00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:57.040
