Where are you going to buy your replacement battery?
Honestly curious as to why this got downloaded downvoted?
Because it’s a short and moronic thought.
What’s wrong with short, if it gets to the point?
What’s moronic about it?
The reason I want to know is because no one ever talks about when those batteries wear out at ~ 100,000 miles and you have to replace them, and the thousands of dollars it cost to do so, and if that cost is considered into the purchase price, and if there are better/worst places to buy replacement batteries at.
Because the overwhelming majority won’t wear out at 100k miles. ICE cars have engine failures early as well, so why are we picking on EVs? I just had to put my car in the dumpster at 112k because the head gasket failed and replacing it would cost 6 fucking thousand dollars!
Meanwhile my wife’s Prius has 300k on it and the battery is still at 70% capacity.
