Sunshine (she/her)Your electric car will fall apart before its battery pack does, study finds
WhereGrapesMayRuleNope. My car had not mechanical defects at all but cost $23k to repair when the battery failed.
And you saved more on gas and maintenance than the cost of that repair if it happened outside of warranty (which is 10 years on batteries)
$23 grand for a battery plus the cost of the car? I don’t think they would have spent more on gas and maintenance.

I love how you’ve added the capital expense with the operating expenses on only one side of the equation but not the other. You know we can see that, right?
$23k is more than the cost of my last 2 ICE cars combined!
Now you’re comparing used cars to a new car.
Or do you buy $11k new cars?
No I’m comparing two used cars to the cost of an EV battery replacement. Also, I was genously rounding up the cost of the two cars. My total was actually $12,200. $9k for a 2006 Subaru Forester and $3,200 for a 1992 Miata.
