In the last few years, seemingly every car company has begun investing heavily in electric vehicles. Ford said it would “lead America’s shift to EVs.” GM sai...
No, I’m not going to have to come up with serious evidence because it’s been all over the place for quite a few years. It’s not new that the batteries in current a recent gen EVs will easily outlast the car. Sure, early and probably current Leafs are crap but even they can last quite well. Tesla? Easy piss.
Sorry but I’m not going to be more thorough because I’ve had this conversation plenty and your statement that a battery needs replaced after 8 years is one of those classic giveaways for people who don’t actually look into any of this but rather just read the usual FUD and click bait. Go look up everything electric, read and watch their content for a good start.
Last time I heard the word FUD was for a crypto that crashed hard. Maybe you shouldn’t be borrowing terms from shady crypto brokers.
A single example means basically nothing. I tried looking for actual evidence, but the first example I find states that you should minimize charging to around 80% of full charge just like I was talking about. They say a car can last around 300,000 to 200,000 miles when cared well for (300,000 is comparable to a diesel engine), but that the warranty is much shorter, in fact around 8 years or 100,000 to 125,000. Cars normally outlive their warranty, but it’s suspicious that it is so close to the figure I would expect. Also I find it interesting that you directly avoided my question as to if new cars are using LiFePO4. I checked Tesla and it seems some of their cars use it, but others are using LNCA, and their latest 4680 batteries are using a chemistry they won’t specify.

Thanks for playing.

Ultimately though the best thing to do is stop using cars entirely.
