Thanks for the article. I'm glad the newer EV batteries are doing well.

Just curious, is there a good/cheap used EV car or small SUV to look for that has the ability to do small battery repairs and has good longevity? Something that sells cheap since it's a few years old, but still has plenty of life left and can be repaired seems like a fantastic option in today's market.

Avoiding Tesla, I'm guessing the Bolt might be a decent option?

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but something to keep an eye on. The slate truck is under $30k with roughly 200 miles of range. It remains to be seen if it’s any good though.
