    What ever the government tells you to do ignore them and do the opposite and you won't go far wrong.
  • @sylsalmon4649
    1st person I've heard talking honestly about EV's. Thank you.
  • Honest assessment from a business owner. Typical government reaction will probably be to regulate and force the small business owner to take them. Further destruction of the SME sector, fewer businesses to have to deal with.
  • Anyone see the video of Dublin bus using a diesel generator to recharge an electric bus?That's the benefits of EV,s, businesses that sell generators also gain.
  • EV manufacturers and dealers are targeting women, young and old, because their an easy sell. They don't realize the true dangers of Lithium batteries to them and their families plus  the long run cost of operation is outrageous.
  • @liamo6889
    This was known years ago but no body reported on them. Not enough infrastructure Battery health risky If battery ruptures it will engulf itself and cars around it. The cold weather diminishs charge And they use alot of coal in production and lithuim production is harsh
  • I’ve just got rid of my electric nightmare, I would absolutely advise anyone even contemplating the madness of buying one of these after being told by every buyer out there not to, you will definitely regret it. I’m out 65000 quid because of that car.
  • I spoke to a guy, spent £120K on an EV Porsche Taycan 3 years ago. Tried to trade in for a 911 petrol but Porsche won't take it back. Now being quoted £40K trade in by We Buy Any Car. Lost £80K in 3 years. Replacement battery is also £40K and £5K labour.
  • I was a car dealer for years selling 100 of cars a month and today I wouldn’t take one in used.
  • @karlhulme8014
    Thanks to the lady for an honest appraisal of EVs. Personally I have no sympathy for anyone who bought an EV, a few minutes research would reveal the problems. I noticed the problem of thermal runaway wasn’t touched on.

    @3:50 "I have two kilometers by the time I get back home but if I charge my phone or put the heater on he has to charge it for an hour". It seems like a false equivalence to describe a 5 watt phone charger and a 1 to 2 kilowatt heater in the same context as equally capable of draining a car battery.
  • @CariteLTD
    She’s bang on. We don’t touch them anymore. Can’t financially sustain the business gambling with them.

    We were called climate deniers for the last 5 years stating these obvious facts... Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Would a referendum on common sense be in our best interests? 😅
  • I had an e.v - I changed back to Diesel after 3weeks . From my experience I wouldn’t recommend, it was an amazing car to drive and lots of power but not for me I’m afraid. I would buy a hybrid if diesels are squeezed out .
  • The insurance companies will put the EV market to bed, the premiums will close them down. The fires will make them unwanted, uninsurable, and unable to give them away.
