EV batteries are being built to million-mile specifications. By the time you need replace it, it will have paid for itself >2x over.
hey...thanx for that. Funny guy..Will I live long enough\drive enough to cover the cost?
slight slide here...
I thought one of the best marketing tools back in the day was Mitsubishi’s 5yr\60k warranty, 10 yr\100,000 power train warranty.
Hyundai\Kia jumped on it also. How many really keep a car 10 years?
I am retired. before I retired, I tried to set-up everything for efficiency as best as I could.
Lights in the whole house inside\out = LED
Hot Water heater is tankless.
Furnace is 98% efficient.
In the scheme of things, I will, in my mind, always need gasoline, so the price of gas really doesn’t matter... So I decided on a hybrid.
Traded in a 2013 Prius C for a more fuel-efficient 2017 Hyundai IoniQ base hybrid-59 mpg.
All things being equal, I expect this is the last car I buy for myself. - bought an extended bumper-bumper warranty.
(My wife has a 2010 Chevy Equinox with about 57k miles on it - out kicking tires for something newer)
Sometimes, in the summer, I can get 62 mpg - for awhile.
both cars paid off. I drive about 7k miles a year - mostly for golf. COVID stay at home probably keeps the milage down.
If we get to a point where an EV would be more efficient, I probably wouldn’t consider it because the trade-off wouldn’t be worth it based on my age and initial cost vs use.
