EREVs: Not The Solution You're Looking For https://peertube.tv/videos/watch/88649397-2338-43bb-88c5-0debe1728968 After spending nearly a decade ramping up toward an all-electric future, automakers around the world - or at least in some markets - are rolling back or even canceling their EV plans, choosing instead to focus on hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) technology. But while automakers are eager to promote it as the next logical step after claiming pure EVs were a flop, we have data to back up our position: EREVs are not the solution we're looking for, and will do little to solve the real issue: affordable, accessible charging for all. ⏱️ Chapter Breakdown: 00:00 - Introduction 02:33 - The challenge of charging - the real issue 05:57 - What's an EREV anyway? 09:09 - Challenges of EREVs 09:46 - An example of difference between EV and EREV efficiency 11:20 - Challenges of keeping an ICE engine healthy 12:08 - Modern EREVs are promising more 13:01 - Support the channel! 13:40 - Automakers move toward EREV 16:08 - Statistics of real-world use 19:05 - Alternatives exist! 20:26 - The elephant in the room: real-world use 22:07 - Discrepancies between claims and real-world use 26:25 - The same thing that would make them better is... 26:45 - Charging isn't the problem 28:46 - It's Politics, stupid 30:33 - Thanks, and Goodbye! πŸ‘₯ Today’s Sponsors 🌱 Electric Vehicle Association - https://www.myeva.org ⚑ EnergySage - https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-101290941-16952262 β€” ✊ Get Involved πŸ—³οΈ https://indivisible.org/town-hall-resources ❀️ Support the Show πŸ“° https://www.transportevolved.com πŸ”₯ https://www.patreon.com/transportevolved β˜• https://ko-fi.com/transportevolved πŸ“Ί https://www.youtube.com/transportevolved πŸ‘• https://www.redbubble.com/people/TransportEVd/ πŸ›οΈ https://amzn.to/40xOyjm β‚Ώ 1QRZRGCCXUKPDZ2DZ9KX9JYJXMZDYHYGFZ0MN4WH πŸ’¬ Join the Conversation 🐘 https://mastodon.transportevolved.com/@show πŸ’¬ https://discord.gg/9WAjfQn πŸ’¬ https://fluxer.gg/mcj8aehg πŸŒ€ https://bsky.app/profile/transportevolved.bsky.social πŸ” Subscribe to our 2nd channel - https://www.youtube.com/transportevolvedtake2 πŸŽ™οΈ Credits: Host, Script, Editor: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Color: Vi Horton Art & Animation : Erin Carlie Producer: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Music: via Artlist.io Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:36:41 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://peertube.tv EREVs: Not The Solution You're Looking For https://peertube.tv/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://peertube.tv/videos/watch/88649397-2338-43bb-88c5-0debe1728968 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://peertube.tv/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
