Why the EV industry needs cleaning up!

Why the EV industry needs cleaning up! #ElectricCars #EVs #EVIndustry The electric vehicle industry was sold to the public as clean, simple and inevitable. But once you look past the slogans, the picture becomes a lot messier. In this video, I look at why the EV industry needs cleaning up — not just environmentally, but commercially, politically and financially. We have seen broken promises, confusing claims, hidden costs, subsidy dependence, poor infrastructure, depreciation problems, questionable marketing, and a constant stream of headlines telling people that everything is going brilliantly. But is it? If EVs are as strong, affordable and desirable as we are constantly told, why do they need so much taxpayer support? Why are manufacturers discounting them so heavily? Why are used EV values still causing problems? Why are public chargers still expensive, unreliable or unavailable in the places people actually need them? This is not about hating electric cars. It is about asking whether the industry has been honest with consumers. Because if the EV industry wants public trust, it has to stop hiding behind green slogans and start dealing with the real-world issues drivers face. The EV industry does not just need more chargers. It needs more honesty. Let me know what you think in the comments. Is the EV industry cleaning itself up — or is it still relying on spin, subsidies and wishful thinking? Hilo Just Got A HUGE Upgrade: Blood Pressure + Sleep + Steps (All-In-One) #BloodPressure #Hilo #HealthTech here is a link to my video https://youtu.be/JNPBRAdvJA8 here is a link to my voucher which will entitle you to 20% Off the price of the Hilo Monitor and a free 12 Months Subscription to the App which is worth £79.99p https://mention-me.com/me/referee/registerko/189147318/758476504/em/d7bf218e766a1709d0cd09f4ac796c37e5e052e6/ol/cw?epr=1 I’ve been using the Hilo blood pressure monitor for years — and it has genuinely helped me control and lower my blood pressure. Now it’s had a major upgrade. It doesn’t just monitor blood pressure 24/7… It now tracks: ✔ Sleep ✔ Steps ✔ Activity All inside the same bracelet. For me, the biggest advantage has always been: • Continuous blood pressure monitoring • No “white coat syndrome” readings • Real-world data instead of snapshot readings And now having sleep and step tracking built into the same app just makes it even more useful.

We were told they were cleaner, smarter and cheaper to run. We were told this was all about saving the planet. And now? Now we’re talking about a 3p per mile EV tax… while reports suggest some electric cars are also more likely to have had their mileage tampered with. So just think about how ridiculous this is. First, motorists are pushed towards EVs. Then they get hit with another tax. And then, because mileage suddenly matters more than ever, the whole thing risks turning into a clocking and fraud nightmare. In this video, I break down the madness behind the idea of a Rachel Reeves 3p per mile EV tax, why it raises serious questions, and how the “green dream” suddenly starts looking like a bureaucratic mess with fraud risk built into it. Because when “saving the planet” ends with more taxes, more surveillance, and more potential clocking fraud… you have to ask: Was this ever really about the planet at all?
