The two issues I have with current EVs is you can't work on them and they don't last as long as gas vehicles.
I have a old suburu and it still runs fine
Its also worth remembering there is a lot less maintenance to do on an EV. No oil to change, lubes to replace, belts that break...
Besides the batteries, an EV car should last longer than a gas car.
It doesn't though. Electric cars full of DRM
Gas-powered cars can be and will be (if they aren't already) subject to just as much DRM. Modern gas-powered cars have plenty of computers to apply DRM to. The only reason EVs may have more DRM currently is because they were developed from a tech company perspective which has more experience in software to implement that DRM. Running off a battery instead of gas doesn't make a car inherently more DRM-able.
DRM... which makes you need to replace belts, and oil?
I didn't say they were easier to work on, just lower maintenance. On my gas car i need to change the oil ever 6 months. You dont need to do that with an EV.
I'm mostly referring to the "smart" features. Modern EVs are a not designed to be taken apart and understood
They have the same components except the engine, but they weigh more and the batteries dont last as long as a well maintained engine. EV cars should not last as long.
