    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.

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