00:00Hello, today is January 14th, 2026. This is Hector Vladimir. Today I'd like to speak about

00:06electric vehicles, EVs, and the so-called range anxiety. The range anxiety that many people

00:13claim they have, or the reason or pretext that they use to not get an EV, to go against EVs,

00:20to be on the defensive and offensive, and criticize electric vehicles and how they're

00:27not ready, how they're not reliable, they're not good enough, and how they don't have enough range.

00:33And it is a funny, it is an amusing pretext or excuse to go against or not get an EV

00:39about range,

00:40because EVs routinely now, very commonly, have over 250 miles of range. That's one charge,

00:49one full charge, will take you up to 250 miles or better. That's 402 kilometers. Some EVs go even

00:57higher, and increasingly so, they are the more affordable ones, not necessarily the expensive,

01:03super expensive one. Electric vehicles, such as back maybe about four or five years, for you to get

01:09better than 250 miles of range. That's 402 kilometers. Here in the U.S., specifically I'm

01:16speaking of, you would have to get either a Tesla or a very high-end electric vehicle, perhaps Mercedes,

01:22Volvo, or a very high-end Nissan, an extended range, they called it. But now, routinely, I mean,

01:30it's pretty much standard that vehicles have 250 miles of range or better. Some of them are pushing

01:36the 300 mile range now. 483 kilometers. And even above that. This is for the standard range, of course,

01:44the extended range probably would be a lot more than that, maybe 350 to 400 now. 563 to 643 kilometers.

01:53But yet, you hear these people complain about EVs having low mileage as far as range, low range,

02:00and they complain about the range anxiety. And again, this is unbased. This is ludicrous. This is pretty much

02:07a dumb argument, because who, in their right mind, drives over, I would say, 175 miles in one shot,

02:16one time. 282 kilometers. Without stopping. I personally don't like driving more than maybe about 100 miles.

02:23161 kilometers. Consecutively, continuously. That's about two hours drive, you know, under normal

02:29common conditions, stopping and going. Normal traffic, a little bit of light traffic. Normal

02:36road conditions, changing speed limits from 35 to 45 to 55 to maybe 60, 65 miles an hour. Highway

02:44conditions, 70 miles an hour. But you're not going to go at 70 miles an hour the whole trip. I

02:49mean,

02:49of course, your speed varies when you consider an entire trip from zero miles per hour, talking about

02:56here in the U.S., of course, and perhaps 65, maybe 70 miles an hour on the top end. So,

03:03on average,

03:03you'd probably be pushing about 40 miles an hour. This is average speed when you average out the speeds

03:10that you achieved during the entire trip. So, 100 miles will take about two hours to drive under normal

03:16conditions, and that's about as much as I want to drive without getting out of the car. Call me

03:21close-terphobic, call me weak, whatever you want to say, or label me. I don't give a damn about your

03:26opinion, but that's how I feel. I want to be able to get out of the vehicle. I want to

03:31be able to

03:32stretch out and not be cooped up inside of a vehicle sitting down on my behind for that long. So,

03:40two hours is about as much as I want to be driving at one time. Of course, I could drive

03:44a lot more

03:44than that, but that's after that first break, maybe an hour, two hours after another break.

03:49You get the point. So, you don't really need more than perhaps 200 miles. That's pretty much the

03:55extreme of what somebody should be driving consecutively, continuously. I mean, if you

04:00drive more than 200 miles, you're already pushing your physical limits. Your legs are going to start

04:05cramping up. You're going to start getting numb back, lower back. It's going to start suffering and

04:10getting cramps and pains. Your sight, your eyes are going to start tiring from just looking at the

04:16road and everything around it. And your attention is going to be limited, increasingly so. You're

04:21going to start making bad decisions, poor judgments. So, you need to rest. You need to get up. You need

04:26to stretch out. You need to let your blood flow. Go to your areas where you've been putting pressure

04:32all that time, especially your legs, buttocks, lower back, middle back. And even your elbows need to

04:37basically get some rest. Your hands, your wrist. Again, not to mention your sight, your concentration,

04:43your attention. You need to get a little rest from that. Get a break, breather, bring some water,

04:48get some liquid, eat a fruit. And of course, stretch out if you can. Very recommended that you stretch

04:54out if at all possible. Walk around a little bit, then get back on the road. By the time you

04:59do all of

05:00these things, it's been about 20 to 30 minutes. Under normal conditions, 20 to 30 minutes is more

05:07than enough time, today's technology, right now, currently, for an EV to recharge 200 miles, put

05:14back 200 miles into your electric vehicle. There you go. If you were to drive the extreme limit,

05:20let's say 200 miles at one point, you need about a 20 to 30 minute break anyway. So, stop at

05:26a

05:26charging. There's a lot of them, and they are popping up everywhere now. They are being built

05:30pretty much every week, every month. They're putting more in more places. And I'm talking about

05:35the fast level three charging stations. So, those are not hard to find. They're located in your GPS map.

05:42You can search them with your search engine. It'll put it on your map. Most people use their phone

05:47as a GPS device. You can just search it there, EV charging station. Or your vehicle may have that

05:53capability, where it will locate those for you, tell you where to go, and tell you how to get there,

05:58tell you how much time it will take to get there, what distance. Some vehicles will even map out

06:02several stops, if you're going to go on a long trip, and recommend where you should stop. So, the

06:08situation has improved dramatically when it comes to charging, especially the applications that help

06:13you find chargers. They have improved quite a bit, especially those included in electric vehicles. So,

06:19really, the excuse, the pretext, the argument of range anxiety, it's null. It's canceled. Non-valley.

06:26One, because there's enough range under normal conditions, unless you're planning to drive 300

06:30miles, 500 miles non-stop. What's the hurry? I mean, even if you're driving an ambulance or a fire

06:37truck, which should be about the only vehicle on the road in a hurry, even those vehicles, they will

06:41not drive 100 miles straight. Hopefully, there is another ambulance service a lot closer than 100 miles to

06:47the location where they need to go. So, under normal conditions, if you're the average person,

06:52you don't need to drive more than 200 miles at a time, and most EVs now bring that range,

06:57that kind of range, 200 miles, not for better. So, plan your stops, take a break, take some water

07:02and fruits with you if you're going to go on a long trip, which should be minimal, should be done

07:07very seldomly. I mean, people talk about, like, they need 400 miles range on their EV, like they're

07:13taking a road trip every week. Under a little bit of scrutiny, you can find out that they rarely ever

07:18take a trip anywhere, other than just work, the grocery store, and perhaps family members visit this

07:25and that the next town over 30, 40 minutes away. That's the average person. If you're the type that's on

07:30the

07:30road a lot, that basically travels long and far, okay, 250 miles on your EV is more than enough. Quit

07:38crying,

07:38quit complaining, quit hollering when it's unbased and just ridiculous. Your argument is invalid,

07:44doesn't stand, can't hold water. Two minutes of research will stamp out any kind of argument

07:50against EV range and EV range anxiety. Also, price, those that cry and complain about the price,

07:58they're in par, Turkey, they're in par with your beloved ICE, they're in par with your gas-guzzling,

08:06polluting, obsolete technology. Get over it. All these people that always complain and argue that,

08:13oh, yeah, EV this, EV that, they're not good enough. How are they not good enough, Turkey?

08:18Explain to me how. They can't. They keep coming up with the same old tired, obsolete argument about

08:26that they can't get to their grannies 75 miles away. It's like, what are you talking about?

08:31An EV will take you at least 200 miles there and back and you can charge at the house. Do

08:37you not

08:37realize that 99% of the time you're going to refilling that EV overnight at your home? That

08:42is the cheapest and most reliable, best way to do it. Yes, you can visit your grannies 75 miles away,

08:48no problem. You can go on that road trip across the country. Newsflash, Turkey, there are fast

08:55charger in between here and whatever destination you're going to. I mean, just look it up. But no,

09:01these people, they just want to complain. They want to go against the technology no matter what.

09:06They want to just hug and grasp and get that greasy, oily, dirty ICE engine close to their chest and

09:14hug

09:14it, squeeze it onto all the oil, gas is all over their clothes. I mean, that's what these people

09:19rather do. Just hold on to a obsolete, polluting, harmful, expensive, complicated, and just resource

09:26intensive technology that basically blows stuff up. Controlled explosions of fuel within it is what

09:33drive the stuff, heating up, making all kinds of vibration and noise. Give it up, Turkey. Barely 40%

09:41efficiently. Barely. While electric motors are over 85 to 90% efficiently. That should put down the

09:49argument. End of conversation. 40 versus 85. End of conversation. All parties go home at that

09:55point. But no, they want to keep arguing. They want to keep the argument. They want to keep going.

09:59They want to keep saying how engines are better. How that noise and vibration and all that smoke is

10:04somehow better. It's somehow going to make them feel good. They're not faster, Turkey. It's been proven

10:10over and over in drag strips all over the freaking nation. Electric cars are even banned from some

10:15racetracks, race trips because they're faster. So put that down. Let it go. They're not faster.

10:22They're not better, more efficient. They're not cheaper. I mean, what is it that you want to bring

10:26to the table to make the argument that EVs are not worth it, are not ready? They've been ready,

10:32Turkey. They've been ready for about 10 years now. How much better do you need them to be before you

10:38get

10:38on board, before you embrace the technology superior as it is? Turkey, they've been ready for 100 years.

10:45100 years. They were just stamped out. They were competing with fuel technology. EVs were 100

10:51years ago. Somehow the dirtier technology won out because it was more macho. It's insane. I'm not

10:59sure how this happened, took place. They had electric vehicles on the road 100 years ago. Quiet,

11:05powerful, dependable, with about the same damn capability as the internal combustion engine

11:10vehicles. All electric, working with batteries, lead-acid batteries. So that's where we're at.

11:16The situation, I mean, the current administration is just not sparing any effort in propping up fossil

11:22fuels, the technologies, drilling, mining, while at the same time stamping out electric vehicles.

11:29This clown, Mr. Tesla, went into the government, somehow got in there as some kind of czar or some

11:35kind of advisor. And Mr. Electric Vehicle, the first thing he did is take out a bunch

11:40of electric vehicle chargers that the government had installed. A whole bunch of them. I want to

11:45say thousands. Mr. Electric Car, what a fraud. What a mole. I mean, it's clear as day. What will

11:52it take for people to figure out that they've been mooned by this clown? Come on, guys, wake

11:57up. We'll leave it at that. Basically, that's my argument against all of the nonsense out there

12:03about electric vehicles. At least some of this nonsense. Not all of it. There's a lot more.

12:07But at least my counter argument against all of the BS out there, basically. That's what

12:11it is. All the smoke out there. Thank you very much.
