EVs Owners HAD ENOUGH & Want to SWITCH BACK to Gas Cars!
EV owners are getting back to internal combustion cars the recent survey taken by S&P Global showed that nearly half of EV owners still purchase a gasped car for their next vehicle either as a replacement or as a second vehicle in the household do they regret buying electric vehicles or not are EES really
An alternative for the future stay with us as we found seven shocking reasons Eevee owners want to switch back to gas cars number seven EVS are less reliable one of the reasons why many decided to replace their traditional gasped cars was the aspect of reliability EV makers
Have been promising a lot in this aspect claiming that EVS are simpler and therefore more reliable with fewer parts that could potentially break in theory EVS really should be more reliable as the powertrain and drivetrain are much simpler moreover the maintenance should also be simpler considering that there’s
No such thing as a regular oil change while regenerative braking ensures reduced brake wear of course many bu bues were driven by such benefits but it was time for a reality check in real life exploitation electric vehicles are anything but reliable the latest survey taken by Consumer Reports says that EVS
Cause 80% more problems than gas powered cars the most common issues are those regarding battery whether it’s about performance or charging besides the battery most EVS also turned out to be quite problematic when it comes to infotainment systems and software in general interesting stories about EV reliability issues are numerous but
Probably the most indicative is the one that came from Edmunds a highly renowned Automotive magazine namely guys from Edmunds purchased a brand new Chevy Blazer EV 2 months and 2,000 Mi later this all electric crossover showed a total of 23 fault codes at the diagnostic check while the test trip
From LA to San Diego was particularly problematic as the car went totally on the fritz besides battery issues edmin test drivers face malfunctions of window switches melted down infotainment display an infinite Loop of shutting off and turning on navigation issues and many many more number six home charging
Satisfaction one of the key reasons why nearly half of EV owners go for IC cars is charging and no we’re not talking about public Chargers and their Network we’re talking about home charging the most convenient way for those who own a garage in an ideal scenario they leave
Their EV to charge overnight and save tons of money however real world exploitation is a bit different first of all the classic level one charger is way too slow for the majority of EV owners so they were forced to pay extra and get a faster level two unit of course the
Performance of this one is much better so it doesn’t surprise that 2third of EV owners use level two Chargers but even with it JD Power study from this year found that owners are less satisfied than they were just a few years ago one of the reasons is also the fact that
Home charging is less affordable than it used to be electricity rates are constantly going up according to Energy Information data the average residential rate went from 13.72% to 14.96 just in 2022 which is a 10% increase the same Trend continued in 2023 with an average rate of 1621 cents
Per kilowatt hour in October 2023 number five public charging issues for those who aren’t lucky enough to have a garage public Chargers are the only solution and that’s where things become tricky first of all the charging network is still far from being adequate while the number of chargers seems
Sufficient in urban areas things get much different once you get Suburban which makes things quite complicated especially for those who plan longer trips also there’s the matter of charging time although the charging rates are much higher than they were just a few years ago they’re still far away from being convenient for most
Drivers even the fastest public Chargers can’t recharge EVS in less than half an hour Which is far from the level of convenience you get from gas powered cars also charging at public stations is still very expensive so much so that in some cases running cost of EVS are equal
To running cost of gas powered counterparts that’s not all public Chargers are as unreliable as electric vehicles according to JD Power just in the first quarter of last year 20.8% of EV drivers experienced charging failures or malfunctions of charging equipment unresponsive or unavailable screens payment system failures charge initiation failures Network failures or
Broken connectors are some of the most common issues consumers have with public Chargers number four high repair cost EV owners want their gasped cars back for several reasons including repair costs which are 56% higher in the case of electric vehicles according to the research from cccc intelligence
Solutions repairing at EV after a crash cost nearly $6,600 on average compared to an average repair cost of $4,255 so even though EVS require less maintenance in theory they could cost a fortune in the long run so we aren’t surprised that almost no one wants to buy a used electric car which
We’ll talk about in a few moments the reasons for such high repair costs are various first of all the number of shops specializing in EVS is much lower compared to Conventional cars as well as the number of train Tech ignitions furthermore EVS also tend to be made for
More expensive materials with a higher use of aluminum than steel and as there are lithium ion batteries that need special storage due to a fire risk as well as more complicated safety protocols repairs are much more complex and timec consuming which also adds to the total repair costs not to mention
That met e parts are welded in the vehicle so they can’t be repaired but only replaced as an Eevee gets older things get more complicated as owners are still forced to pay thousands for repairs of vehicles that aren’t worth much here’s an example a Tesla Model owner from Quebec found corrosion on the
Battery casing the response he got from the dealer was that the whole battery casing needed to be replaced which would cost $225,500 plus tax you know anyone who would pay $25,000 to repair a 10-year-old car we don’t number three Insurance costs for years we’ve been hearing from experts about how EVS aside
From higher upfront costs are much cheaper to run than conventional cars but did they take insurance costs into account because insuring an EV cost costs a lot these days full coverage for the Tesla Model X costs over $4,000 a year two times more than the market average when it comes to more affordable
EVS a Tesla Model 3 is nearly $500 more expensive to ensure compared to an average gas powered compact luxury sedan like the Audi M4 or BMW 3 Series the Chevrolet bolt EV cost $78 more per year to ensure than a Hyundai ionic blue a hybrid the reasons for higher Insurance
Costs are various first of all Eevees are more expensive than their gasped counterparts and premium for more expensive cars always cost more we already talked about the higher repair cost of EVS which is another major reason for higher Insurance costs due to such expensive repairs especially when
It comes to batteries where the whole unit is often required to be replaced it doesn’t surprise that insurance companies declare a total loss after a crash way more often in the case of EVS finally there’s the matter of lithium ion batteries which are quite prone to fire yet another reason for higher
Insurance costs number two range anxiety Eevees are undoubtedly advancing in terms terms of autonomy but range anxiety is still there the charging network is still not developed enough and EVS are still far from IC counterparts in terms of range most of them still can’t make more than 300 miles and we’re talking about
Manufacturer or EPA estimations on average EVS feature 133% weaker performance compared to estimation but that’s only part of the problem the second part of the problem is that in reality owners are in most cases unable to charge their batteries completely with fast Chargers the best you can get
Is around 80% for example then there’s the third problem the battery performance which depends a lot on external factors such as cold weather which significantly reduces the performance also it’s no secret that batteries tend to underperform under heavy exploitation that particularly refers to hauling and towing which isn’t
So simple with electric vehicles just take a look at the test AAA conducted with the F-150 Lightning and, 1400 lb of sandbags when the truck’s range fell from 278 Mi to 2 10 miles that’s a massive 24.5% difference number one price and depreciation finally there’s the matter of price despite the massive
Discounts that we’ve been witnessing these days EES are still notably more expensive than gas powerered cars with the average price paid of more than $53,000 15% more compared to the average car purchase in 2023 at the same time EVS tend to depreciate way faster than gas powered cars most EVS lose around
50% of their value over 5 years while the market average is around 39% for comparison hybrids lose 37.4% of their value over 5 years on one side we have a Tesla Model S with a 55% depreciation rate on the other we have a Porsche 9911 losing just 99.3% over 5 years with that
In mind it doesn’t surprise that there are so many EV owners who changed their minds and went for internal combustion engines thanks for watching and see you next time
