Electric Cars: Inconvenient Facts, Part One
Electric cars are cool. I’d buy one if I could only get the Tesla dealer to call me back. But when it comes to the environment, electric cars aren’t even close to what activists and politicians promise. In this video, I continue where part I left off, with 3 more inconvenient facts about electric cars.
The original version of this video has been updated. We originally said that covering “the entire continental United States with solar panels would not supply half of America’s electricity.” But the study we cited for this fact has been updated. Therefore our reference to it has been removed. – John Stossel
Electric car sales are up 66% this year. President Biden says the future is “electric… and there’s no turning back.” California and New York are banning sales of new gas-powered vehicles. We’re told they’ll help us use less oil. But most of what politicians, activists, and electric car sellers say about electric cars is just wrong. In this video, and a second one coming soon, I show you 5 inconvenient facts about electric cars.
Electric Cars: Inconvenient Facts, Part 2
President Biden drove an electric car and said, “the future of the auto industry … electric and battery technology!” But the batteries activists dream of are a FANTASY. That and more inconvenient facts about “green” electric cars in Part 2 of our series:

- Let me tell you what will happen. They are banning fossil fuel cars to force everyone to buy an electric car. Problem is electric cars will become super expensive as there won’t be enough materials to build the batteries. People won’t be able to afford a car. Climate Communism. – Peter Sweden
- The great inconvenient truth of electric battery storage: it would cost $100 trillion to produce enough batteries to store power in Europe for winter. It would take industry 400 yrs to build them. The United Nations climate hoax will destroy western life. – Peter Clark
- What are climate activists going to do now that they’re banning Tesla, buy crappy makes of electric cars or go back to buying gas guzzlers? – Just some Lady
- Imagine a time when everyone has electric cars and you say the wrong thing and they turn your car off. Make you walk. You don’t even exercise and now you are forced to walk? Electric cars will control you. No one understands the danger. Then the car just leaves without you. Gone. – Jason A Williams
- A 15 year old goes to join a terrorist organisation and apparently she didn’t understand what she was doing and she was groomed. A 15 year old tells us we are destroying the planet and we all should buy electric cars, eat only tofu and hug a tree. The morality of the left. – James
- Man made climate change is a hobby horse for the virtue signalling wealthy white middle class bourgeoisie who can afford overpriced crap like electric cars and electric heat pumps and afford to pay the extra 25% green taxes on energy bills – lieutenant colonel Kojak slaphead the 3rd.

Politicians praise electric cars. If everyone buys them, they say, solar and wind power will replace our need for oil.
But that’s absurd.https://t.co/T7fBTZlHAY
