I'm back in a diesel after 4yrs running both EV & PHEV. What needs to change to get me to go back?

So 63% of new car buyers are fleet buyers... they are heavily incentivised into EVs... but when those EVs come off the lease, there isn't an appetite for them in the 2nd hand market... so it's really quite simple to see why the 2nd hand prices of EVs are bombing because supply is far outstripping demand. the government can publish whatever they like and blame Rowan Atkinson but that's the simple facts and maths of it.
-
Harry, I did agree with you 100%, but that has already dropped to 87%...
-
My 17 years old corolla still has 100% mile efficiency.
-
What a breath of fresh air and common sense. I couldn’t agree more.
-
I think that the worst problems with new cars are the driver interference and distraction systems.
-
22:23 Strongly agree on putting an efficiency rating on electric cars, they put it on TVs and other electric appliances why not on cars? Just because there are "zero" emissions doesn't mean you get to comsume all the electricity without care, resources are needed to produce electricity with or without fossil fuels.
-
I work in the used car industry everything this man is saying is true. Used EV sales are bombing HARD
-
The 7% of total CO2 from cars/bikes was a real shock … and absolutely agree that manaufacturers are too focussed on the wrong performance, bring down costs and increase distance … who really gives a jot about 0-60 … my friend has stepped out of the i-Pace after 3-yrs (£77k new, trade in £21k!!!!!) for petrol Q5 and now enjoys driving again

Absolutely brilliant journalism, you need to make a speech in front of the House of Commons
-
It was high time for someone to say how things really are, giving fact and figures to support their speech. Thumbs up for you Harry!
-
This is my first time listening to Harry's garage. Brilliant presentation. Clear, logical issues and discussion. Tks heaps from Melbourne!!
-
What a great video! I could not have explained all of those points in the video any better. I think that everyone who is contemplating buying a new car should watch this video. Thanks for taking the time to explain in a way that is easy to understand.
-
28 minutes and 45 seconds of pure common sense . I learnt a lot . Thank you Harry .
-
If ever there was a Harry's Garage episode that should take 4 hours... this is it!!! Brilliant insight!!!
-
Harry, thank you for putting this across so comprehensively, and fairly. Spot on!
-
One important point that was missed here was that we are constantly inhaling hazardous fumes that are injurious to health, often at times sitting in traffic. It's not about total carbon emissions.
-
As an EV owner of 5 years and also a 6 cylinder petrol car, this is one of the best and most balanced videos I’ve seen about EVs and agree with pretty much everything you say
-
I can't think of a presenter better suited to expounding upon these truths than Harry Metcalfe. Thank you, sir, for being a stoic & eloquent voice of reason in this current climate of idiocy.
-
Excellent talk. Thank you. RS. Canada
-
By Far the best video I have seen discussing the realities of electric vehicles. So much wisdom here. Subscribed & Thank You.
