Be prepared when you need to replace the battery. Might as well throw your car out and buy a new one. Would be cheaper.
Why would you need to change the battery?
Faulty battery packs are as rare as faulty engines.
The Volt-myth spread around here was a one off from the insurance company to get a quote from the manufacturer of a discontinued model. The customer turned down the quote, so did the insurance company.
Even if you mishandle the battery, you’ll still get at least 1000 cycles out of it, that’s between 50000 and 10000 kWh of energy.
That’s at least 155k miles.
If you treat it with respect, you’ll get at least 3x that.
If you don’t change the oil in your engine, I’ll doubt you get 155k out of your car.
There are lot of drawbacks with EVs, expensive battery changes is not one of them, that’s a myth.
Really? My son sold his tesla because it's charging became so poor that it was costing them 120 bucks a month to drive 300 miles. I can fill my for f150 for 80 bucks atm and it gets about 750 miles to the tank. Plus I can refill it in 5 minutes in any of a thousand gas stations.
My son's tesla was 4 years old.
Battery tech has come a long way since the first Teslas.
My car has a 8 year guarantee on the battery pack (>80% after 8 years). I have driven my car for a year now, with 0% degradation so far.
The first Teslas had free SuC (Supercharger) so I don’t know where you got that $120 number from. Also if he charged at AA or a similar paid operator, he would’ve been charged by the kWh, so speed of charge wouldn’t affect the price.
What model and year was your sons Tesla?
You won't get 3x that. Maximum life of these batteries is 10 years even if you just keep it parked. If you drive a lot of miles you'll be replacing the batteries in 6+ years.
Maximum life 10 years? There are EVs out there still working after 11;
My EV (Ioniq 5) has a battery guarantee of 8 years, and that’s at least 80% capacity after that period.
80% capacity on my car is at least 180 miles range.
How many miles do you drive a year?
Oh also, 180 miles range is down from 303 miles range. You're at 59% capacity.
I drive around 25-30k km a year.
I think you missed “at least” in my sentence. I’ve driven my car for over a year now, and 58kWh (80% of my original 72,6kWh) will give me AT LEAST 180 miles range.
A year later, and my SoH (state of health) is still 100%.
There are many drawbacks of driving an EV. Degradation of modern battery packs is not one of them.
False. It is intrinsic to the battery's chemistry that is degrades over time.
Less than 20% degradation over 8 years is not a huge problem imho.
Calendar degradation was a huge problem on earlier battery tech, and that myth seems to be lingering and still used as a argument against modern EVs.
Expensive battery cost 13k to 14k. So my friend you are high.
Do you have any source for that claim?
Good luck in the hurricane
Hurricanes in Sweden?
Those are battery powered vehicles "not" electric vehicles@!
AND what do we HAVE here...ANOTHER failed experiment to get ppl to buy electric cars!!!!!!!!
WOWZA!!!
LOL! This strikes me like the old FORD joke my Dad told me.
FORD = found on road dead There is also: figure on repairs daily
Yeah, except that was my Chevy puck up that did that. Had three ford's and they all got traded in. Someone's still driving them.
You need to make an acronym out f Chevy to go along with puke up. ; )
Fix Or Repair Daily
My buddy always says.. First On Race Day (he likes Fords of course)
At least Ford didn't need a government bailout in 2008/2009.
I don't really get the hate for electric vehicles on this sub. I've owned one for 4.5 years. I don't believe in climate change, I didn't buy it for any environmental reason and am skeptical that there are any environmental benefits.
I bought it because it was a quiet ride, doesn't have a typical engine with a thousand mechanical parts to break and leak and ZERO maintenance (no oil changes, tune ups, etc). I have needed only 1 service call in four years and that was when the secondary car battery (one that is in every car) died. That's it.
I also have a charger in my garage at home (zero trips to the gas station), so all of this hysteria over long lines for charging in California don't really affect me. I have never gone to a charging station and it was full -- and only use them for occasional city to city travel.
I realize that having all the carefree years of no engine problems will eventually be traded for my battery eventually failing, and needed to be replaced. But it won't fail at once, slowly the individual battery packs within the battery will need to be replaced. But if you look at how much any car is worth after driving it for 10 years -- the value is non-existent unless you've invested YEARS of mechanical bills replacing many of the original parts.
I am also not saying that I purchased my electric car based on the financial return -- I bought it because it is a fantastic driving experience.
Thanks for using so much coal and oil we appreciate the work.
