A EV battery replacement is multiples of times more expensive than an engine replacement on basically any non-supercar lol.

You've made some bad arguments but that one knocks it out of the park.

@Whirlybird
Except that EV batteries rarely need replacement. As I've proven time and time again.

Clearly, you have a belief system that is not supported by reality.

Except when they don’t, at which time you’ll be out of pocket tens of thousands of dollars.

People like you are insufferable. EVs are awesome, but they’re not perfect and they’re a much bigger risk buying second hand.

Nothing's perfect. The survivors are those who can work with reality.

The fact that you're unable to substantiate you assertions repeatedly proves my point.

Most new EVs come with an 8-year battery warranty, which guarantees they will retain at least 70% of their original capacity

So again, anyone buying an EV that is close to or older than 8 years old is taking a massive financial risk. Every link you post confirms this yet you think it’s proving your point lol
