I am not talking about that generator, and stop reposting the same reply all over, are you shilling for battery cars?
It's about used car market and keeping your car long (10 + years). Those battery pack DO LOSE CAPACITY every year. Use the car or not, they will chemically do, at the rate of 2-3% / year.
Sure, keep the car 10+ year and lose more and more of your freedom of movement with the dimishing range, I'll keep my gas car where I get the same fuel economy after 20 years and 300+ miles of good maintenance.
It's a scam as in the used car market will be crap left-overs with low battery capacity left and people having to renew their cars and payment if they want full capacity
You’re very focused on the used car market, which is fair. But how much would a replacement battery cost on a used electric car? Wouldn’t that give you the better range?
Replacement batteries are over 10k, if you are lucky. I've seem quotes of over 20k$ canadian in here.
And that is if that battery replacement still is being made 10 years down the road. Ever tried buying an older battery for that lithium-ion drill that doesn't hold a charge long enough anymore? You go back to that hardware store and never find that battery that still fits.
electric cars are one of the biggest scams of all time. Try buying one used 10+ years and see the range you get with it.
And then talk about the environmental impacts of mining that insane volume of lithium and rare earth minerals.

Not that hard to understand
