Quoted from SadSack:Budget 4000 a year for your 8-year battery replacement. If you aren't barbecued in the truck or burnt up in your house before you need a new one, you'll have to reduce your sales price by at least the price of the battery pack. I guess that means people will have to pay to safely dispose of them These things are garbage.. period. For EVERY application there is a MUCH preferred alternative.
$32,086 every 8 years... Oh and when the grid goes down and you need to evacuate an area... good luck with that. Can anyone pipe in and tell me how satisfied they are with it after a year or two? I want to like them, but every time I look, they are bigger P'sOS than the last time I looked.
THat sneaky little south-african tricked everyone into thinking disposable vehicles are normal. I'll stick with my 2000 Excursion V-10 with a 450 range on one tank.
It's hard to shove so much ignorance into a relatively short post but congrats, you managed to do it. Allow me to retort...
Do you budget for an engine replacement every year? No. No one needs to do so for EV batteries either.
ICE don't catch on fire? That's a new one to me...
Last time I checked gas pumps also needed electricity to... You guessed it... Pump gas... So... Not sure what your point with this one is. Oh, and if you happen to have solar/battery storage at home, then you win the game. Easily.
LOVED my EVs when I owned them, so again, not sure what you're talking about here... Clearly you've never, ever, driven one. Only reason why I don't own one now is because I needed a 4X4 Jeep where I live in the mountains so it was a use case situation, nothing more.
EVs have the most advanced tech of any cars on the road, bigger POS's? LOL... I'd say your 2000 Excursion is about as much of a POS as anything on the road today.
40% of Americans buy a new car every year, this is not a new trend... So again, I don't know what the hell you're talking about here with this "disposable vehicles" crap...
