Electric cars are only as good as the 20 year old battery tech that powers it. Lets face it batteries have been around for over 200 years pretty much unchanged, had tens and tens if billions of $ of research and still they are two expensive, take to long to charge and don't hold enough power.
The only advance in electric cars is that they look like cars now but batteries have failed to advance since the expensive and fragile lithium ion 20 years ago.
@rstevewarmorycom Then why does the Nissan LEAF battery pack cost $18000 if the cost has gone down so much? Why does it only last for 5 to 7 years and only have a 70 mile range and still takes all day to charge without wrecking the batteries? Cars like that could and have have been made a decade or so ago but didn't kick off for a reason mainly cos they didn't work. Electric motors in cars are great but the batteries are still shit even with all this research.
@rstevewarmorycom Why do batteries take all day to charge? Cos they do. Gas is also brilliant and is what people SHOULD expect. Do you green people really expect the modern world to buy a car that can't even get some people to work and back? The reason why electric cars aint kicked off is cos they don't work.
@rstevewarmorycom lol i would lovee to see the day when Mr average has to spend £50.000 on transport for 5 years because he owns an electric car. You got such stupid views on the future.
@rstevewarmorycom how much have you spent on your electric car? What job do you have and exactly how much do you earn every year? Your the type of people we need to put effort into silencing the opinions of.
@rstevewarmorycom We all know oil will run out soon I'm not stupid. Do you know why nobody really buys electric cars? Cos they don't work. I would love an electric car really but I know that the the batteries are far from up to the job and will remain like that for years to come. Biofuels are a better option cos engines have been advancing far faster than electric which advances at a painfully slow rate. The 100mpg car will prob come along in 10 years which is twice as good as in 2005.
@rstevewarmorycom They have the ability to run all the taxi's in london just off the chip pan crap from fast food shops. They also made use of wood gas to power almost every single home on the country not long ago and it can also power cars. Pretty much anything that grows can be used in cars.
I would also like you to look at one of the top comments about the tesla s and still say that electric cars are useful.
Good Start for the uneducated. One FLAW... You would be HARD PRESSED to pull 2500 watts out of your 120V outlet. Like IN the Cartoon. That would be just over 20 AMPS of current and the BREAKER would POP. You could easily do that or double out of the equivalent of an Electric Dryer outlet circuit however.
Is an electric car really green? What happens to these batteries when they can no longer be recharged? What kind of heavy metals are in those batteries? GOOD's YouTube channel also has a vid on coal. It says that coal produces 48% of our electricity. That means your electric car is really a coal-powered car. It also talks about the cost of a 100 mile trip - but what is the range of most electric cars? CAN they go 100 miles?
@toyotaprius79 the reason why the Tesla failed on Top Gear was because it was a badly made (read "American") car. It had nothing to do with the fact that the car was electric. Now stop criticising top gear and electric cars.
electric cars are coming way too late. each tyre requires 6 gallons of oil to produce and the oil required for lithium extraction to make car batteries is a huge waste... let alone repairs and maintenance. stop dreaming people... we still need more alternatives, the electric car is still oil dependent.
1:45 you forgot to mention the loss in efficiency getting the electricity to you house. 15% lost at typical nuclear power plant. 30% loss over power lines. 1% loss or more per hour the vehicle sits idle , and about half the efficiency powering the accessories in the car such as the AC and power steering with electricity vs mechanically.
Well at least you guys actually counted where the electricity comes from when figuring the emissions. However you don't consider the environmental impact of manufacturing the batteries. Nor do you figure the cost of replacing those batteries after a couple of years. Bad GOOD.
I also doubt your 80% efficiency rating for the electric car. Those motors and batteries convert a LOT of energy to heat.
@frogsoda these batteries have a lifespan of about 7 years/100000 mi (160000 km) though 60% they can be recycled and they expect to achieve 90% recycling. still, I believe we can do better. Hovercrafts eliminate the need for tyres which would be another great thing. The heat you're talking about can also be put to use to re-charge the batteries with the insertion of peltiers.
@frogsoda You don't know, those questions are over used. A charged Leaf will result of 90grams of CO2 per km if only on coal. LITHIUM batteries are mainly recycled in production, now distilation plants beside seas and lagoons extract litium since they are 1% lithiun. (3% for lagoons). Replacing the batteries will come in the next 8-15 years, by then batteries will be really cheap and economical. Making and using electric motors are terribly efficient and the heat loss is used for heating, duhh.
@frogsoda Don't forget now, the production for petrol shouldn't be bothered to be compared to electric vehicles. Don't bother rantig if you don't know the TRUE story. Dirlling the oil, fighting wars for it, transporting it, taking the product (petrol) from the crude oil through fractioning which uses vasts amounts of electricity, pumping, storing, ect and transporting to the petrol station will result in <500g of CO2 per km. That's before you fill up!
People need to embrace this new technology. Yeah, it's not the most 'convenient' now, because getting a car that runs on gas is cheaper, but at what point are we going to stop wasting our resources and being careless? Even if it's not 100% Environmentally friendly, it's a start, and that's what matters...
@aleopad2004 Its not even that they aren't convenient, they aren't capable of many things that i need a car to do. For example i have to drive to a city for school, its 3.5 hours away but there is no electric car capable of making that distance let alone getting back home. Since the infrastructure and geography doesn't allow for electric vehicles, they wond become popular until they are capable of making long distance trips (at least 4-500 km).
Litium ion batteries are not recyclable at all, they get thrown into a landfill, and based on the fact that 90% of our electricity is non-renewable, you are putting just as much CO2 into the Atmosphere.
@rstevewarmorycom It is much cheaper to produce another battery, the traditional method of recollection involves using a smelter to melt out the components. The problem is lithium doesn't react well to elements that it gets burned with. You would ruin any facility that you would try to collect it in, and to produce another system which would cost hundreds of millions to build and maintain requires more capital investment than just producing new units.
That sounds great, but what would be the the fail safe for issues such as the emitting a massive solar flare on earth? I think we should first target this as well as other pressing issues that could pretty much reverse life as we know it before converting our world into a energy driven landscape.
they should take an idea from bummper cars and electric trains, why not just lay a wire on the road and get power right from the road itself, it works for trains and slot cars?
@paisis123 Except the difference is you want to maneuver with a car, switch lanes and make turns at will rather than fallow a predetermined path. Besides that if one car breaks down you'd have huge traffic jams because the line is blocked.
And we're paying at least $50-60 Australian for a tank. Also the 30% reduction in emissions wouldn't justify the damage from manufacturing the batteries, and then again as they need to be replaced. However, cars like that new turbine-generator electric Jag concept car would be awesome. It's electric, and powerful, and uses very little fuel.
@Freshbott2 10 dollars we not to fill a car, but to replace about 100 miles. That is about 5 gallions, little less. We pay (cali) 3 dollars a gallion. So 10 bucks is about 3 gallions, at 30 mph that is about 90 miles on 10 bucks. We also run into problems that things like oil in the tires are still being used. Really, we need to figure out a mag rail system that works for everyone, or maybe a way to create hybrid mag rail / self powered. You hit the "free ways" of mag rails, then drive.
I love how the animations explain the complexity that surrounds electric in an understandable way. Great job! Can't wait to drive such a cleaner, smooth and silent vehicle myself. Maybe an electric motorcycle first, they might be more affordable in the near future.
ALL YOU NEED IS SOLAR PANELS, WIND TURBINES (yes there are wind home wind turbines you can buy), GEOTHERMAL ENERGY (if you have it installed), THERE IS A LOT! AND THEN IT WILL BE FREE TO DRIVE YOUR CAR
@JuggaloOzi Petrol is flammable and yes explosive in specific conditions. Hydrogen is very explosive, it is the main argument against hydrogen cars, if there was a crash then being in a hydrogen car is much less safe than being in a petrol one.
Why do you think they stopped using hydrogen blimps? Its just too unsafe.
@JuggaloOzi That's only if you drain the battery completely. More than likely you'd only drive less than fifty miles a day, which would take maybe 30 minuets to an hour I'm guessing to recharge, maybe less.
1. making an electric car (or any new one) causes more damage to environment than me running my old petrol car for another 20 years. + all the acid from batteries that get in to the nature in case of a crash.
2. electric cars DO NOT WORK in the real world. make a battery that holds for 700miles as some petrol cars do with 1 tank and still is able to do 150mph and mby then ill think of getting one.
i won't buy a car that with recharging does 200miles in 4 days!
That's bulshit. Fully electric cars are still out of the market. That's because electric cars are not efficient compared to the petrol ones. With a full tank of a petrol car you can run about 300-500 miles in average, with an electric one you can do 40-100 and then you have to charge for 8-12hours where as with a petrol one you can refil the tank in just a few minutes. If you where to use an electric car, you better have a few of them.
Wrong, they got into trouble with misleading information with the Tesla Roadster (250+ mile range), not model S (300+ mile range). They never ran down the batteries, the BBC's excuse was they wanted to "simulate" what would happen if it ran out of power, which is idiotic because it's the same as when an ICE car rans out of fuel; It stops moving.
If you would actually research properly you would know the information you gave is completely incorrect.
@ThePeoplesGuru Top Gear didn't do anything! They made the Tesla ROADSTER look like hopless crap by pushing it off the track and saying that it will charge in 16hrs even though in England it takes 8-10hrs. They never mentioned about the fast chargings, they never will. Still the fact of charging a Tesla in less than 30 minutes is here and practical.
There is still a crucial mistake. Even if there is the technology that requires a creditcard to recharge, it will still go through the electricity of the house. Simply put, there's a system that recognizes which house and appartment uses how much power.
Having creditcard system involved into the already existing system, it would only adept to a "cracked system" that shows minimal energy usage. (false numbers!) some time in the future. :P

$10 to fill a car???
And we're paying at least $50-60 Australian for a tank. Also the 30% reduction in emissions wouldn't justify the damage from manufacturing the batteries, and then again as they need to be replaced. However, cars like that new turbine-generator electric Jag concept car would be awesome. It's electric, and powerful, and uses very little fuel.

@Freshbott2 10 dollars we not to fill a car, but to replace about 100 miles. That is about 5 gallions, little less. We pay (cali) 3 dollars a gallion. So 10 bucks is about 3 gallions, at 30 mph that is about 90 miles on 10 bucks. We also run into problems that things like oil in the tires are still being used. Really, we need to figure out a mag rail system that works for everyone, or maybe a way to create hybrid mag rail / self powered. You hit the "free ways" of mag rails, then drive.

@Freshbott2 it's 10$ for 100 km of travel. for a full tank it's about 50-60 here (canada) too.

I love how the animations explain the complexity that surrounds electric in an understandable way. Great job! Can't wait to drive such a cleaner, smooth and silent vehicle myself. Maybe an electric motorcycle first, they might be more affordable in the near future.

@heyyyynoowww Don't need huge heavy electric motorcycles.
That's a paradigm that will shift now. A slightly more sturdy
electric bicycle styled like a motorcycle that weighs about
100 lbs, travels 55 mph and gets 100 miles per 4 hour charge
would be sufficient, and that's do-able with the solar we have
now quite cheaply, around $3K for solar panels and bike,
mass manufactured.

solar panels on roof of house = free recharges at home?

@K4osLegiNd YEAH!
ALL YOU NEED IS SOLAR PANELS, WIND TURBINES (yes there are wind home wind turbines you can buy), GEOTHERMAL ENERGY (if you have it installed), THERE IS A LOT! AND THEN IT WILL BE FREE TO DRIVE YOUR CAR

Do electric vehicles have the same effects just as street lights? for example create more light pollution?

Nobody wants to charge all day and night when they can spend 1 minute or less at a petrol bowser.
Hydrogen is next, not full electric.

@JuggaloOzi
Hydrogen is extremely explosive, it will never become mainstream because it's just not safe.
RandomNameName 1 year ago
@RandomNameName ... isn't gasoline explosive? I'm not a chemical engineer but I'm sure they could dilute it to a point where it has the same potency.
I kinda liked the algae bio fuel idea but its unfortunate that we're not seeing more of that.

@RandomNameName Hydrogen not safe? Really? How many hydrogen cars have exploded? Petrol is flammable and explosive too you know, never been a problem.
That argument has no real basis in reality. Which oil company do you work for?
JuggaloOzi 1 year ago
@JuggaloOzi Petrol is flammable and yes explosive in specific conditions. Hydrogen is very explosive, it is the main argument against hydrogen cars, if there was a crash then being in a hydrogen car is much less safe than being in a petrol one.
Why do you think they stopped using hydrogen blimps? Its just too unsafe.
RandomNameName 1 year ago
@JuggaloOzi it still takes a shit amount of energy to produce hydrogen for the car to use
that energy can be created from coal or gas
SO WHAT OIL COMPANY DO YOU WORK FOR?!

@RandomNameName Untrue, high powered rifle
fired at gasoline canister, BOOOMB, at a hydrogen
tank, slow invisible leak or a small tongue of nearly
invisible flame. Hindenburg was a pyrotechnic due to
its skin paint.

@JuggaloOzi That's only if you drain the battery completely. More than likely you'd only drive less than fifty miles a day, which would take maybe 30 minuets to an hour I'm guessing to recharge, maybe less.

Sorry guys, the comment about wind blowing more at night is just wrong!
Also you lose potential input from solar.

lead and acid , Miam !
and they only last 2-5years.

they forget to mention the efficiency loss in the charging of the batteries and the distribution of the electricity
harryman11 1 year ago
wow. so much for "Transparency".
1. making an electric car (or any new one) causes more damage to environment than me running my old petrol car for another 20 years. + all the acid from batteries that get in to the nature in case of a crash.
2. electric cars DO NOT WORK in the real world. make a battery that holds for 700miles as some petrol cars do with 1 tank and still is able to do 150mph and mby then ill think of getting one.
i won't buy a car that with recharging does 200miles in 4 days!

That's bulshit. Fully electric cars are still out of the market. That's because electric cars are not efficient compared to the petrol ones. With a full tank of a petrol car you can run about 300-500 miles in average, with an electric one you can do 40-100 and then you have to charge for 8-12hours where as with a petrol one you can refil the tank in just a few minutes. If you where to use an electric car, you better have a few of them.

@ThePeoplesGuru
Wrong, they got into trouble with misleading information with the Tesla Roadster (250+ mile range), not model S (300+ mile range). They never ran down the batteries, the BBC's excuse was they wanted to "simulate" what would happen if it ran out of power, which is idiotic because it's the same as when an ICE car rans out of fuel; It stops moving.
If you would actually research properly you would know the information you gave is completely incorrect.
Jogeta5 1 year ago
@ThePeoplesGuru Top Gear didn't do anything! They made the Tesla ROADSTER look like hopless crap by pushing it off the track and saying that it will charge in 16hrs even though in England it takes 8-10hrs. They never mentioned about the fast chargings, they never will. Still the fact of charging a Tesla in less than 30 minutes is here and practical.

There is still a crucial mistake. Even if there is the technology that requires a creditcard to recharge, it will still go through the electricity of the house. Simply put, there's a system that recognizes which house and appartment uses how much power.
Having creditcard system involved into the already existing system, it would only adept to a "cracked system" that shows minimal energy usage. (false numbers!) some time in the future. :P
