The Electric Vehicle Charging Problem

33 Comments

1. Let’s not talk about the kids mining cobalt for ev batteries

2. Solutions: 
   Federally imposed charger standards & mandated, funded charger building.

   France requires solar panels over parking lots. The US needs to, along with attached chargers. It also needs to require or irresistibly incentivize solar electrification & charging for commercial fleets, shopping & employment places.

   Not just tax deductions but breaks on sales tax, plus direct subsidies & other assistance for EVs, like the ones that have given Norway its world-leading 90% EV market share. Carpool lane access, lower tolls on roads, bridges, ferries. Like all taxes & fees, these should be progressive wherever possible.

3. ive been saying this for about 10 years. Electric vehicles were a great idea with horrible background work behind them…. this is before you pretend lithium mines arent horrible. literally ruining the environment around them.

4. At about 5:29 you talk about an AC to DC converter also known as a rectifier. You seem to have a slip of the tongue when you say inverter when you should be saying converter (or rectifier). An inverter does the exact opposite of what is needed in that context, i.e. it converts DC to AC.

   Good work otherwise.

5. 0:15: ⚡️ Electric vehicles are close to reaching a tipping point towards market dominance.
   4:00: ⚡ The biggest barrier to mass-market EV adoption is the charging problem caused by the limitations of the electric grid.
   8:58: ⚡ Charging batteries to 50% twice is faster than charging to 100% once.
   16:53: 🔌 Governments are incentivizing electric vehicles in the wrong way by focusing on the wrong aspects, such as cost and technology, instead of infrastructure like charging.

6. Electric vehicles range diminishes huge in cold weather.
   I don’t understand Tell the creator didn’t bother to discuss this.
   In countries with cold weather, This is huge factor

7. Interesting to see the EU regulating iOS charging cables. Makes me wonder if we'll see similar regulations for car chargers, pushing for a universal USB-C standard. Imagine a world where one USB-C cable rules them all, from phones to cars! 😂 You can always have a cable in your pocket, I just can't hahaha. What's your opinion on this?

8. Holy crap this is so unrealistic. You don't need a supercharger within 4 minutes. People can charge at home overnight. You only need superchargers for road trips which don't happen very often. Also you don't need to fill up so fast, people can take a rest.

9. That thing in the car is NOT an inverter. It's a rectifier.

10. It would be interesting to look at this with today's knowledge

11. Most people live in apartments, where are they going to charge these stupid cars?

12. This aged poorly

13. Why isn't reliability a considering factor?

    Also The resale value of an ev is suuuuuuper low.

14. No one wonders the amount of power lost when transferring from generators to that much charging stations as the author of the video suggested? Power loss increases as transferring distance increases, more charging stations longer the combined distances, hence higher amount of power loss during transmission. Are EVs really as “green” as they promoted?

15. Skip da waste of money 19:37

16. that' s AC ADAPTER, not inverter !

17. The problem of the number of charging stations can be solved in days if their plugs are standardized. In this way each company can build a small number of charging stations that everybody could use and then the cost would not be a problem.

18. I know this video is a couple of years old now, but electric car sales depend a lot on where you live. 79% of new cars sold in Norway in 2022 were electric cars and 21% off all cars in Norway are electric.

19. Even with the charging infrastructure, I'm not buying an ev, they aren't worth it, they aren't better. Non of the new "gimmicks" that evs have I want in a vehicle. There is absolutely zero draw to them for me.

20. You can make a motor last 100,000+ miles easy, will a ev battery still hold as much energy at that time. Or will the battery wear, so not only will you have to replace the motors, you will have to replace the battery too.

    I can't believe everyone thinks batteries are the future. Lol. You'd think it would be a better form of gas. Something we made that burns clean and has a lot more energy in it than gas. A new invention, not using something that has been around for decades. (Batteries)

21. The major problem I have with them is governments involved in trying to force evs down my throat. There is a reason why every manufacturer is going all in on ev and it's not because of consumer need, it's government intervention.

    They aren't better than real cars, and won't be for a while.

    But if batteries are the future (kinda seems like the past to me), looks like lineman will be a pretty good career choice.

22. hmm what if we increase each EV capacity to increase transport efficiency, also we can put wires over roads, so those vehicles are always connected to the grid, thus eliminating charging and battery problem as well as increasing efficiency
    and if you feel very efficient you can put them on steel wheels and steel roads, because this will have less friction and you can also have it standing on guideways because turning with little friction is hard
    god if only we had such technologies

23. I loved this video! Just wanted to point out that the government doesn’t build gas stations. Still agree that they could build chargers though.

24. 2 years later.
    And EV is still shit.

25. I road-trip a lot. Have a 2022 Explorer and it already has 35k miles on it. It’s also my daily driver at the moment since I had to sell my other gas car. So for me to even think about buying an EV I would have to keep a gas car as well. I would charge the EV overnight on a 120 volt outlet and use it as a daily driver to and from work and keep the explorer as the family hauler and road trip car. I would only purchase an EV if I could charge at home. If I lived in an apartment with no EV chargers and had to drive somewhere and wait 30 min to 1 hour to fast charge there’s no way I’d purchase an EV. Plus constantly super charging a battery can degrade the battery rapidly. Now every house won’t be able to support a level 2 charger safely. So if you are able to install 1 at your home it could cost thousands to get your home up to code to allow a 240v charger.

26. To:dr electric cars aren't there

27. Our son drove across Australia. It took him just over 3 days. Cant do this on an EV.

28. I don’t want to sit at a charging station longer than at a gas station so I guess I will not be driving an EV any time soon.

29. I live in Florida. Storm evacuation is why I won't get an ev until I can confidently drive one for ten or more hours without needing to recharge.

30. Lol algorithm to punish us 😅

31. Are there any cars that are hybrid and bio fuel?

32. Why would anyone want to drive through nebraska

33. Worth mentioning, tesla won the plug war
