How Is The Anti-EV Brigade Allowed Out On Their Own?
Your EV is far heavier than a petrol car and will collapse multi-story car parks and bridges your EV is powered by electricity generated by coal so it’s dirtier than my petrol car have you heard these and others and never wondered how anyone could be so stupid
As to believe them are we becoming a nation or planet of idiots willing to believe anything that reinforces their particular point of view I’m Dave welcome to Dave takes it on and let’s have a look at what is going on now you really do need to watch your skip to the
End using chapters because Dave takes it on answers questions we’ve not needed to answer before such as how many EV charges are there in the UK how big would the que be if every single EV turned up at a public charger at noon tomorrow and how long would it take to
Charge them all and if every single EV in the country PL plugged in tomorrow at noon could the grid cope the answers are truly fascinating well let’s start by answering the two statements we open with by spending a few seconds that’s all on Google a Tesla Model 3 weighs
1,765 to 1,828 kg depending on which variant an mg4 weighs 1,726 kg a Range Rover weighs 2,695 kg BMW 5 series weighs 1,790 to 2,230 and a Mercedes E class weighs 1,825 to 2,285 so Fact one there are many much heavier cars already on the roads that haven’t already collapsed with
Multi-story car parks and bridges that took just a few seconds to confirm well second go to Google again type in National Grid and there’s a massive live Channel showing how the electricity is being generated at this particular second minute week month or year the grid today second of January 2024
Reports 0% coal at present with gas at 33% and Renewables are 29% noticeably solar is nil as it’s really dull and overcast and already getting dark well fact today coal produced zero electricity and in the last week it was 0.3% from our single remaining Coal Fired power station and that one is
Scheduled to finally close in September this year 2024 so less than a minute to confirm the cold does not produce any meaningful electricity and even that tiny amount will stop altogether later this year forever so are the people who use these easily and instantly disproven claims stupid are they ignorant well obviously
Some probably are but they cannot all be stupid or ignorant so why do they believe these false claims which they could easily prove are false in a few seconds one Australian anti YouTube channel no not the electric Viking claims that EVS cannot possibly succeed because there are not enough charges in
Existence at the moment he claims that if all the EVS went to the Chargers at the same time they could not charge so EVS cannot work and they should be banned at the end of this video I actually do that and other calculations and the answers are insane
Well let’s see Google once again or figures vary wildly so use multiple sources but there appear to be round about 5,000 EV charges in Australia last year and just over 100,000 bevs that’s full battery electric vehicle and that’s pretty proportionate to the UK who’ve
Got 12 times as many EVs and 12 times as many Chargers so fairly similar proportionately I exclude hybrids as some of those are self-charging now assuming that nobody charges at home at all ever and all of them head to the charger at the same time there would be
About 20 EVS for every charger now that’s the Quee and if they all take about 30 minutes to charge that’s a while but one survey from wit car in Australia claimed that over 80% of all Australian Eevee owners can and do charge at home so obviously they will
Not all set off and AR together they don’t need to well let’s say a silly example half of them do road trips every day and do actually need to charge every day at a public charger so in that case 50,000 would cars would turn up at 5,000
Chargers that’s just 10 cars per charger and that would take about 5 hours to clear but of course he ignored the answer to the question what would happen if every single ice car in the country all went to the petrol station at the same time I do love these equations so
Here goes okay I need to check the number of petrol stations in Australia and there’s hugely W wild figures about this but seems to be around about 7,000 and they have anywhere between two and six pumps per station how to check it well look in comparison in the UK is
About 8 and a half thousand so 7,000 sounds okay maybe a bit on the high side there are 20 million ice cars on the roads in Australia so if all of them headed to the petrol station at exactly the same time you’d have an average 2,800 cars at each petrol station or
Between 500 and 1,400 per pump now that’s a queue on a massive scale while EVS would take 5 hours to clear the queue 500 ice cars at each pump in the best case scenario of six pumps per petrol station and each taking just 5 minutes to fill that would take
40 1 hours to clear the queue that’s nearly two days well seems the argument is the wrong way round and we ignore one other obvious tiny little detail while 5,000 EVS could all charge consecutively as the grid normally does have sufficient power 28,000 ice cars would empty every petrol station’s
Storage tanks in a matter of hours and with no chance of refilling every single one the same day we’ve actually seen this happen during the tanker driver strike so we must conclude that these people who spout this nonsense either never even think about what they’re claiming they just accept what they say
Or read or are told as gospel or they don’t bother to find out now so far I can see no harm in their stupidity or ignorance or dogged belief despite the facts I myself has made such silly claims without proof in in the past I remember when I first ran
A diesel car on vegetable oil everybody told me it would blow up my engine on my own logic stated that if it was that easy to do then everyone would be doing it CU waste vegetable oil is free I believe them but then I watched Top Gear
Where I saw Jeremy Clarkson driving a Volvo estate diesel around the racetrack running on vegetable oil well the reason for starting Dave takes it on video channel is to actually take on all myths and misconceptions so years ago I bought an old citon ZX diesel for 50 Quid had a few weeks mot
Left on it it’s probably worth 50 Quid in scrap and I decided to try it well filled it with vegetable oil it did run but it was so rough had so little power and so much Thick Smoke from the exhaust pipe it was totally unusable and once stopped it was almost impossible to
Start well just a little bit of analysis and I found that the injectors are fine tune for nice runny Diesel and they don’t like thick Blobby vegetable oil but checking the viscosity of Veggie oil versus diesel I found if I heat vegie oil up to about 70° Centigrade it goes
Really runny in fact has the same viscosity as diesel does at around 0 degre centigrade and my car starts easily on diesel at freezing point so we heated the vegetable oil up to 70° Centigrade don’t forget the heat exchanger off the radiator cool and fluid that runs at 70° 70° centigrade
And once I fed the fuel through it the car ran perfectly I still have a video showing A Renault lagona diesel running on Fresh veggie oil on YouTube it has over 150,000 views it’s currently number five on Google Search is still getting views after 15 years so we find the
First difference I no longer take everything or anything I read or see or hear as true but but always do some basic research for myself I hope this means I never blindly pass on F false information all that on occasions the interpretation of that data may prove
With further research in the future to be wrong but these people seem to just accept everything as long as it fits in with their beliefs and that is a dangerous route to follow others must know the truth but spread the lies anyway even I found if you portray a
Negative title and thumbnail on a video gets more views than a positive video I believe that some of these myths and lies are a deliberate strategy to make money well shame on you but we now reach a junction where we differ dramatically that I don’t yet understand if I buy a mass-produced car
I don’t like or is unreliable or a disaster on Wheels I get rid of it and I put it down to experience if anyone asked me if it’s any good I’d tell them my experience but also i’ well yeah but there are probably thousands or millions
Of people are quite happy with them and think differently going find out for yourself well today these negative people find that totally insufficient and set off what is on what is very much like a crusade to me first to prove to the world that this particular car or
Model or make is a disaster but then go way beyond that and try to prove that all every single one of these models is bad and then to take it to the Max and set about trying to convince others who have this car and model that they were
Wrong to have bought it and should immediately get rid of it this in my opinion is even more dangerous well going back to my veggie oil I was constantly told I should stop it as it was illegal it isn’t it would blow up my engine it didn’t it would
Produce evil exhaust fumes it didn’t emissions were actually cleaner than running on diesel well even theot inspector spouted these fossil ities as he handed me my past certificate and when I challenged him as to how he knew this the answer every single time was either well everybody knows it or I know
Someone who did it and it did blow up well when I questioned just a little bit further as to who it was it was always along the lines of well it was a friend of my sisters who has a neighbor whose boss at work knows someone who tried it
It was never a firsthand experience so back to EVS to not like an EV is okay that’s fine to avoid an EV that you don’t like or had a bad experience with is also okay and to pass on your experience of an EV to others is also healthy and
Normal you don’t want them to suffer like you did but to try to prove that every single one of possibly millions of EVS driving around the road quite happily is bad as your EV is definitely not natural or healthy to do that when you don’t even
Own an EV probably never even sat in one it’s just simply crazy but to then set up a campaign to actively get out there try to find people and try to convince those people who do own one to get rid of them is well that’s probably a bit of
A problem that might be heading towards needing professional help well I reive many comments from Eevee haters they’re so easy to spot who watch your 10 or 20 VI minute video of mine about owning an EV or beauty of an EV and then they set about telling me
Why I’m wrong an EV should be banned why does someone spend 20 minutes of their life watching a video about a product they will never buy have never tried and actively hate that to me seems really strange why then having probably never sat in one never driven one never
Owned one do so they tell me what is blatantly not true easily disproved by spending a few seconds on Google to try to convince me I’m wrong if there are any of you out there who can explain this be bizarre behavior I would love to hear from you in the
Meantime rant over let’s blow away some of those myths and look into the stats in the form of mini factoids EV sales are increasing and last year they increased by 36% globally the they’re not going away PWC price waterhous Cooper zap map and the government surveys all predict that 80%
Of all cars sold by 2035 will be EVS they’re on the way EVS run on electricity that is mainly renewable these days typically about 40% but on occasion that exceeds 100% And we export excess green electricity to Europe in December 2022 the grid ran totally 100% renewably E green for a
Continuous period of 25 hours the grid calculates that there will be regular 100% Renewable Power for extended periods of time by 2025 next year the electricity produced by fossil fuels is no longer coal but mainly gas coal power stations in the last year produced only 1% of our electricity from
The single remaining power station which itself is due to shut down permanently September this year a combined cycle gas turbine power station has an efficiency typically around 50% versus your ice car is typically 20% a solar panel in the UK is now more efficient than most ice car
Engines around 80% of EV owners can and do charge at home increasing numbers of people with an EV charge at work record number of EV charges 16,000 were installed in 2023 and this Miss government targets More Than This are likely to be installed in 2024 there were 1.2 million EVS in the
UK in 2023 and there are nearly 60,000 EV public Chargers if we all turned up at noon tomorrow to charger to public charger there would be 20 cars queuing at each charger and that would take some around about 10 or 12 hours to clear now in reality if all who actually needed to
Charge at a public charger turned up at noon tomorrow there’d be less than two cars at each charger and that would clear in half an hour or so the average time taken to charge now is 40 minutes the average public charger is used for less than 7 hours a day or
Conversely it’s vacant for 17 hours a day cues are formed because we all choose to use them a specific spe ific concentrated times the average mileage for a private motorist is now approaching 5,000 that’s 100 miles a week and the average EV now covers over 150 M on a single charge so
The average private motorist now only needs to charge once a week for less than 30 minutes National Grid is capable of providing over 62 GW of power but we have interconnectors to Europe that can add another 8 gaw Watts if needed the average output in 2024 is less than 30
Gaw there are over 400,000 EV charges in the UK that’s home destination workplace and public of those around 60,000 are public charges comprising 15,000 slow charges less than 6 Kow 25,000 fast charges averaging 11 KW 10,000 rapid charges averaging 50 KW and 10,000 Ultra rapid charge chares averaging 100 KW the
Average power of all public charges is 31 KW the average power of other chargers is 7 KW so the average power of all Chargers private and public is 10 kilow if every single one of the 1.2 million EVS went to an Eevee charger at the same time there would be just three
Cars per charger and the queue would be gone in less than 80 minutes if 400,000 plugged in simultaneously today and charged at the average of 10 KW the grid would need to be capable of providing 4 gaw just for the EVS today the grid has 40 gaw excess
Capacity not being used we could easily handle three million cars all plugging in simultaneously and there’d be no blackouts the current grid could handle 30 million EVS all plugged in if the charging is staggered plug them all in no blackouts well I hope you enjoyed this video thanks for watching I’m Dave well
