From the post:

>New electric vehicles cost thousands more than similar models that run on gasoline. But a growing number of shoppers are discovering that for used cars, often the opposite is true. Used battery-powered vehicles often sell for less than comparable cars with internal combustion engines, making them a good deal even before calculating savings in maintenance costs and fuel. That is expanding the number of people who can afford to buy such models.

The "savings" won't be worth shit when those batteries go, and a replacement battery costs more than an entire new vehicle.

Yeah, you really have to treat them as disposable. It's only good until the batteries start going out then you "throw it away".

WILL happen

disposing an electric vehicle is the other half of the job of building it
