Yeah, I hope recycling and repair on old battery pacts gets some more research. I feel like anyone that can shorten that loop has some good money to squeeze in the future.
On the 12000 for a old minivan, I feel like that’s just future were heading for regardless of EV or not. I will say, and as a guy who hates working with electrical harnesses, I would rather get a 15 year electric drive train than a gas one myself. Having worked on both they are definitely easier to figure out what’s wrong!
Yeah, but parts are usually cheaper on the ice by far. If the motor of an ev goes out, you’re pretty much just stuck replacing it completely.
Depends on what’s wrong with a motor. If you might as well rewind it, at least personally, yeah it’s not worth trying to fix, but if it’s just a bearing or loose connection it’s not too bad.
A wasn’t considering a lose connection or a wire short to be a motor issue, but there’s no way anyone is going to do a great job of re-winding the motor of an EV. Have you seen those stater windings?! They’re way too close together and too precise to do by hand. I’d be willing to bet those machines that do it cost about as much as my house, too.
For sure! Heck I’ve hand wound like twice in my life and I would have to have adamn good reason to do it again for even a simple piddly thing.
