And also battery capacity.

Remember the 10% depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot.

Losses in battery capacity are probably what drives most of the loss. A modern engine probably has half of it's life+ left at 100,000 miles. An electric is looking at replacing it's "engine" aka battery pack at this time.

My point in not so many words.

Thanks for elaborating.

IF you can even get a replacement battery pack it may be used or poorly refurbed.

That and it will cost ~20k without including the labor.

At that point, go buy a old gaser for 5k and drive it for the next 100k+ miles and maybe put ~5-8k in maintenance or repairs into it over the years.

And that is a good point. Is the pack available? Will it work in the car? Will the car even recognize it?

Too bad the dealers exempt themselves from the depreciation thing.

Earth mining for the resources to build the batteries for EV takes so much diesel, and fucks up the earth. Disposing lithium batteries isn’t environmentally friendly. In 10 years or so, you’ll start seeing headlines on electric vehicles disposal problem. EVs Limited range not as free, can start fires that are toxic and deadly. Electric comes from coal so not doing anything about carbon emissions if any making it worse. Our current electric grid can’t support everyone having EVs. Don’t feed the problem ((they)) want.
With EV electric technology the gov can shut off if you wrong think. It’s about control not saving the environment. Think of the gas stove issue. The gov Can’t simply shut off parts of the grid, you just use match and gas to cook your food. But electric they can simply shut off all you have for wrong think.
Don’t be an idiot. Get a regular vehicle proven to be balanced with freedom: environment for decades before your dumb ass came here. They told you your special and hero to save environment. Don’t let them trick you into fucking our civilization up. By gas or diesel cars. Thank you. That is all
