Hoping batteries for electric vehicles come down in price. The fucking $10,000 replacement cost pushes the cars to the brink of naw I’m not gonna fuck with that zone…

I assume you're referring to a battery replacement? In all likelyhood, by the time it needs replacing in 10 to 15 or even 20 years, batteries will be significantly cheaper probably less than a full motor replacement cost of an ice vehicle.

There are 10 year old electric cars now with failing batteries that no one wants. It’s a now problem, and seeing it makes people not want to buy one (including me)

you seem to be missing the point (I'm guessing on purpose) the tech from just 10 years ago is significantly worse than today. an EV today is not comparable to one from 10 years ago. honestly I'm embarrassed by people buying an ice car in 2023 if they can afford an EV.

I’m can’t afford to buy a new car so does me no good. What kind of EV do you drive?

[–] set_secret@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can't afford one they're insanely expensive. I have a very sad 2010 prius. but when I can afford a new one it will Def be an EV.
