First 90 seconds enough for me, more nonsense than I can stomach.
I get the backlash against retarded virtue signaling mandates and such, that does not make an economic case against BEVs.
I still love my old BMWs, particularly E92-M3 which I hope to run for many more yrs, it's essentially a replacement for 'crotch rockets' of my youth, it is NOT economical, I wouldn't recommend it anymore that a motorcycle. But I do recommend a T. Model 3 or Y to just about anyone. You really can't compete with 125MPGe with an ICE, I will never buy a new ICE again, just don't make sense anymore. Get a Model 3 for some $35k USD without government incentives in the USA, vastly superior in everyway to a Corolla, RAV4 or anything else in category.
All the raw material costs are included in that price, that's 1st reality check on the assertion that "we don't have enough resources" for BEVs, all the metals will be endlessly recycled, Li, Ni, Cobalt, etc. No shortage what so ever for Li or Iron which are the primary elements of best, cheapest currently available batt cells.
So if you are emotional about car drivetrain types and just want to feed your confirmation biases, channels lk this are for you. If you care about reality--go elsewhere.
