Why I've gone back to driving a diesel after 2 years with an EV and then 2.5 years driving a PHEV as our family car. What needs to change to get me to go back to EV?

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.

My 17 years old corolla still has 100% mile efficiency.

I think that the worst problems with new cars are the driver interference and distraction systems.

I work in the used car industry everything this man is saying is true. Used EV sales are bombing HARD

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.

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

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

I was sceptical about EVs from when they first appeared, never had one and never will

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.

Harry I live in a council flat. I’m on the breadline but even if I could afford a car I’ve 0 chances of home charging . Like millions of others who can just about afford an old fiesta or something. Love your vids on both channels ❤❤

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.

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.

Outside chargers are never under cover, often around the back of a carpark and difficult to find in a poorly lit area. Then you arrive in the dark and its raining. So with the water running down your neck you are trying to read the connection instructions. Get it wrong and they just dump you to back to square one. The card reader is often low down and with water on the screen very difficult to use. Even on a good visit, it takes 3 minutes. Its a killer when you find there is no WiFi to join yet another club. Add to that when you get there, you find another car is pulling all the power, and not enough for you. We have had our Kia Soul 30KW for 3 years and love it. Being retired we rarely go on long journeys, but we plan where we will stop, coffee, shopping etc, no problem. We are still getting 135 forecast miles in the summer, but that drops to 95 when its really cold. We always charge at home over-night with the granny charger, no problem.
