U.S. President Joe Biden's administration intends to relax limits on tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to move from gas-powered cars to EVs.
Yep, they weigh more. Yep, they’ll lose about 100 miles off their range after 100k miles.
So what? Diy replacements are doable, it’s a 6-800v device (nominally), but you’d hire a professional to do an engine swap… or do proper research to understand what you’re dealing with.
What do you get after replacing a battery? A fully functional car. Still has its dings and dents, but still accelerates incredibly, has almost no maintenance items based on the simplicity of an electric motor, reliability of a solid state control system… how’s your ice doing after several hundred thousand miles? No co2 output at the pipe, right? No constant oil changes, right? No packing two complex automotive systems (electric and combustion) into one vehicle frame… Right?
Lol. You’re the one spreading misinformation. For one, you aren’t getting to do a battery swap at home. You don’t have the capability of swapping out and moving around an 1,100 pound battery.
You can also pay someone to do an engine swap and parts and labor will cost you less than $8,000. Often less than $5,000. A battery swap will cost triple the amount. Sometimes more.
The range loss in cold and mileage time and warranty info are all easily verified. Just go look it up. Pull your head out of your ass.
Lmao I work on systems intimately related to this stuff, it must be fun being this consistently wrong, because you’re hell bent on sticking with it.
What a low-quality mechanic: moving a pack requires a pallet jack, or in a pinch, several furniture dollies from harbor freight, at $30/ea. Lifting into place, several scissor jacks. I mean really, aren’t you embarrassed by your lack of creativity? You poor man.
JuSt LoOk iT uP, how embarrassing. Durability of the packs is generally guaranteed for 10yrs of full cycle usage. What’s a cycle count as? Full charge to full discharge. How many people do that? It’s easy to do on a very small cellular phone battery, you’re less likely to feel comfortable doing that on a large vehicle.
The point is, you wear out your pack, the rest of the vehicle keeps running for another decade after pack replacement. The worn out pack is recycled, and new fully capable packs are made using the recycled filtered lithium. Less energy is required overall, by reprocessing a pack, not an entire vehicle.
I don’t care Cole. I’ll always fight your lack of knowledge and understanding wherever I see you, forever. I enjoy it, and will wear you down with the technical truth, not what the media or your dim friends parrot to you.
Funny, cause if people weren’t starting to see what I’ve been saying, then all the auto manufacturers in the US wouldn’t currently be scaling back their EV sales projections.
🤦 got it, moron. None of your points relate to why companies are scaling back, it’s been repeated in many different articles at this point: “targeting the small population of wealthy with SUVs and luxury cars is a strategy guaranteed to quickly reach saturation”.
This guy is a known misinfo spreader.

Sheesh, try reading a little.
Oh. You must mean trickle down economics. Lol
Lmao dude you are really good at being dumb. Hey, fuck you for dragging the gene pool down.
I’m against trickle down/bull and sparrow economics. I’m saying EVs should be aimed at the working class, not the wealthy class as has been the case.
Funny, you just said it was going to the wealthy. Even those shit boxes nissan are releasing cost $60,000+ if you want a 250+ mile range.
Read the part in quotes more carefully. It’s saying that targeting the wealthy with EVs is a bad long term strategy.
