This sounds like propaganda to me, no citations are a big red flag.

This seems to be too specific to USA and that too at this narrow point in time. Also Redacted is a solidly anti-Democrats type of site and their glee is not surprising. And then USA is the home of trucks pretending to be cars and SUVs that weigh as much as a World War 2 armoured car. So no surprises that the faux machismo is lost while driving a quiet sophisticated EV. For the real story on EVs we should look to China the world's largest car market/car maker.

I think the citations are right there in the video - they are not cooking this up.

Yes, in a way there is data that is being smudged from all sides - since there is a government mandate to subsidize EVs and there is all possibility that Automobile companies too have lobbying in the govt.

Never trust Chinese data at face value. It has "Govt" propaganda on everything it touches.

Redacted usually talks with data and they are willing to report where the data leads.

Didn't see one datasource being mentioned in the whole video and there are no citations in the description as well.

Strange. I see it though.

They are reporting based on what gets published and they talk about data points, one needs to independently check.

* They show the Ford newsroom website.
* They reference and show the consumer reports 2023 report.
* They reference a clip of CNBC clip of an interview
* They show "A letter to the President" from Source: 'EV Voice of the Customer'.
* They talk about the Ford lightning EV, marked down to $7000, and still no takers.
* They talk about no takers even after 20,000 $ discount through Govt. subsidies.
* They talk about Jeep EV strategy
* They talk about EPA rules from Govt. mandating 56% of vehicles to be EVs by 2032.
* They talk about 7.5 Billion $ spent for 8 EV charging stations.
* $40 to $80 for one electric charge at Costco.
* ...and more....


Most of these datapoints have screenshots. All of these are independently verifiable as well.

So, if there's saltwater coming in contact with an EV's battery, it will then (too) go up in flames?

Looks like a lot of houses have burned down during the recent hurricane in the US, thanks to EVs and hybrids that were parked in garages downstairs - check out the reel #2 above. Storm surge related sea water flooding inland is a thing in the US' coastal areas (especially the East coast).
