Lots and LOTS of people only vote because they have to, and they vote for whoever lies the best.
If they didn’t have to vote they wouldn’t, and the major parties would lose a LOT of votes, which is what needs to happen. We need independents to actually have a chance.
Anecdotal means nothing. Most are just like this, fear mongering where it didn’t actually happen.
Most new EVs come with an 8-year battery warranty, which guarantees they will retain at least 70% of their original capacity
So again, anyone buying an EV that is close to or older than 8 years old is taking a massive financial risk. Every link you post confirms this yet you think it’s proving your point lol
Except when they don’t, at which time you’ll be out of pocket tens of thousands of dollars.
People like you are insufferable. EVs are awesome, but they’re not perfect and they’re a much bigger risk buying second hand.
A EV battery replacement is multiples of times more expensive than an engine replacement on basically any non-supercar lol.
You've made some bad arguments but that one knocks it out of the park.
There's no actual evidence to suggest it's being used to silence criticism in the USA either though. This woman didn't go to the USA. She didn't get denied entry.
And that lifetime is what, 8 years according to their warranty?
You can provide references for whatever you want, but like I said - the warranty is what matters. If the manufacturer warranty is for x years, anything after that is not guaranteed and is a massive risk because of how expensive the replacement is. This isn't hard to understand.
You might think there's no risk in buying an electric car that's out of warranty (or approaching the end of its warranty), but the tens of thousands of dollars you'd have to pay to replace the battery 1/2/5 years down the track says otherwise.
A small study by a pro EV company, reported on by a pro EV site......yeah nah lol.
The warranty is what matters. Unless an EV is 10% of its sale price, if it's even within 2 years of its warranty on the battery ending it's no deal. Might it last 10 years past the warranty retaining ~70% of its capacity? Sure. It's possible. Could it also just drop dead at the drop of a hat, or capacity just drop like a rock? Absolutely. One of those scenarios will cost you almost the price of a new car, the other won't.
Why on earth would I do that based on my post?
It’s less of a vote against your own interests than literally voting against your own interests. Less votes means each vote has more power.
