Oh yes, let me buy a used EV just in time to replace the battery which costs more than the car is worth.

One reason I don’t plan to sell my EV is that it has a lifetime warranty on the battery which is not transferable. The other is that Hyundai recalled several thousand of them for a battery defect and I got a brand new battery at 25000 miles. I have 45000 miles on the car but only 20000 miles on the battery. Plus I drive it around town about 1000 miles a month and charge at work for 6 dollars a month. I don’t charge at home. I don’t need oil or brakes and I don’t have to pay for gas. Other than the 8 hours each week that it takes to charge I don’t need to do much of anything to the car. Plus the mild weather in California means I don’t have the extreme weather issues.
