Why So Many EV Companies Fail
Переглядів 391,763
День томуThe EV revolution could bring more change to the automotive industry than since its founding, and the potential impact is a tempting proposition for entrepreneurs. But this business is not for the faint of heart and nothing like starting an app or a social media company. It takes billions of dollars to build factories, design vehicles, secure suppliers, comply with regulations and find a way to distribute and service cars. Many have dramatically underestimated the capital costs. Going public through Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, or SPACs, is one way to raise funds. Balancing the need to respect age old industry practices, while finding ways to innovate in a highly competitive market is a struggle. The few that have been successful so far, such as Tesla and BYD, are emulating some of the practices that helped automakers like Ford and General Motors emerge victorious from the industry's first wave of consolidation in the early 20th century. But others like Fisker, Lordstown Motors, IndieEV and WM have or are failing.

Actually has more to do with making cars in general. Making cars is hard. When was the last time you saw an ice startup become successful without being bank rolled by an existing manufacturer? It's just a clickable head line ATM to add the word EV to the title. But making cars, EV, hybrid, h2, steam, or ice at scale, profitably is extremely difficult.
@JT_771 14 днів тому
It's more broad than this "EV companies failing" thing. Getting into the auto industry as a whole is enormously difficult, EV or otherwise. The auto industry is littered with such failures. The EV craze is subject to it too, though the craze insulates it temporarily (the craze, meaning, people see that Tesla did it and just assume others can too, but it doesn't work that way).

@tribalypredisposed 13 днів тому
@@skyak4493 It will never be easier than it was right about 2010 or so. That year you could buy huge factories and huge press machines for a song, there was no established competition, etc. By 2015 the window of opportunity was closing fast or already closed, any new company would be entering the market no sooner than 2018, when Tesla would be making the Model 3 in mass market volumes and prices already. But IF these companies had delivered top quality cars then there was still a window because the Model 3 was bad in terms of the body construction, as Munro pointed out. But now, you are entering the market against two vertically integrated companies making 1.5 to 2+ million EVs this year, so they have huge scale of production advantages, and huge efficiency of production advantages from years of experience and having top talent, and from making their own parts so no packing, unpacking, shipping, receiving, and they can make changes in minutes, and they set the market price. That is the crux that this video missed in all the details: it is impossible for a startup to match both price and quality with Tesla and BYD. Startups can make a competitive car they will lose money selling, or an inferior car at a competitive price that will not sell much.

Andreavenaa interesting comparison, but it'll take quite a bit longer than that, I think. Cars, whether electric or not, are not analogous to computers. They may contain a lot of technology, but they're still a car at heart, and the automotive industry just doesn't move that quickly. Already, here in the uk, the original date for 'banning' the sale of new cars with an entirely petrol or diesel drivetrain has been put back by 5 years to 2035, from the original, date of 2030. The government hasn't even whispered a suggestion about its policy on hybrids, which leaves the door wide open for cars with ice (as hybrids) to be available for at least another 5 years, possibly 10. That's potentially another 20 years of ice type vehicles being sold as new, but at a minimum, 15. I personally think that hybrids (PHEVs) could be a good transition solution; they can be dull and super efficient, a good all rounder, or a quite high performance car, so something for everyone, and allow for zero emission driving where it really matters, whilst not having any range issues. I think your overall idea is correct, but it will take so much longer than you suggest. In 40+ years, yes, the auto industry will look very different.

Fact is, all of these companies where brought up during the "free money" decade where cost of borrowing was practically zero, so "investors" took the opportunity and dumb lots of money into every startup under the sun. Take Rivian for example; at one point their stock was trending at $100/share without delivering a SINGLE vehicle to the customer and flashpoint April 2024, their stock is now trading at $8.5/share and they're still losing 30 to 40k on every car they sell. These companies have shaky financials, subpar to outright fraudulent technology/engineering, bad supply chain, etc, and it was only a matter of time until reality catches up to them. After all, "only when the tide goes out do you learn who has been swimming naked".

It really doesn’t help that America basically started a trade war with China right before they started pushing EV because they also simultaneously started a war with Russia. EV cells pick up when gas prices rise. America caused gas prices to rise by putting sanctions on cheap Russian oil and natural gas. That forced both America and Europe to refocus on getting their citizens into electric vehicles because it was politically untenable to have such high gas prices. If you remember in 2021 premium fuel rose beyond six dollars per gallon. As for these EV companies: most of them build small, barely desirable vehicles. Tesla has already shown you what you need to build in order to sell to the American market. You need a car that is larger inside than most other cars yet in between 30,000 and $50,000. The Tesla model 3 and model Y are great sellers because they outclass Honda/Toyota/Nissan in interior space and speed. All EV makers need to be focused on making model Y competitors. Kia and Hyundai in my opinion has been doing the best job addressing the needs of the American market. The Kia EV9 for example, is a great product even though the price tag is a little high.

Short answer: greed. Money and a lot of it, as fast as possible. Could make a great product, simple, reliable, reasonably priced and thus, competitive. But this would bring profits down the years, slowly. But people want money, now. So the electric cars became complicated, unreliable, overpriced.

Lol sleeping in and having your car fully ready for you constantly is definitely a game changer.

Depends on how you measure efficiency. I can drive to my sister's house in 20 minutes on weekends where there rarely is much traffic.

Add the return trip, that is 4-7h of the day wasted. During peak hours where most bus lanes are running every 15min, it would be a somewhat more palatable ~1.5h. If I didn't have my own 1300kg box of refined materials or one I could easily borrow, I'd have to hire another 80kg human to drive his 2000+kg virtue-signalling tire-ripping box of more exotic refined materials to me, drive me to my sister's house and then drive however long to his next customer, rinse and repeat for the return trip.

Highways may have fewer lanes (probably still will want a minimum of three through urban areas to avoid having to shut the whole thing down on every minor incident) but roads will still need to be built at least as strong as they are now to support every heavy vehicle gaining another couple of literal metric tons of batteries to achieve adequate range between charges.

Most companies that make, and to be more specific, BEV, not EV, are regular car companies and the only ones I know that aren't selling used BAD thinking before making them. A short list. You don't make a Truck a BEV unless it can tow and STILL have a long range. That can't happen currently and in the US people like to use trucks as, well, trucks. You shouldn't take an expensive, non-popular line of vehicles like Cadillac and make BEVs with them and think that MAGICALLY people are all of a sudden going to buy Cadillac at a HIGHER price. If people don't like Cadillac and the sales suggest most people don't, don't use Cadillac to make BEV. Who in their RIGHT MIND thinks it's a good idea to make a BEV with a HUMMER? Yeah that's something I see on the road all the time, NOT. I MAYBE see one about 1X month. So once again, through in a battery pak, make it more expensive and less capable and somehow people are going to want something they didn't before? Tesla, forgetting the stupid Cybertruck (see above about trucks), cannot make vehicles fast enough, nor can Hyundai. So, what this tells me is that the age old idea about consumers is still true. If you make something people like, they'll buy it if they feel it's at least a decent value. Consumerism man, you can REALLY count on it being the same generation after generation, as far as what drives it. Inside of China there are lots of failing BEV companies, yes. They should have never existed and that's the failure of the CCP and their subsidy programs driving manufacturing, but not consumerism. Once again, consumerism is what it is around the world. Once Japanese car companies start making more affordable CARS that are BEV they'll sell like wildfire as long as the quality is good and the pricing is decent.
