Electric cars not ready for prime time.

$60,000 to replace Kia batteries:

ICBC scraps 2022 electric car after owners faced with $60,000 bill to replace damaged battery

Damage to the EV's battery voided the vehicle's warranty and the quoted $60,000 replacement was more than a new car was worth

Between the cost of batteries and the extreme pressure to lighten the rest of the vehicle to offset the weight of the batteries, "zero-emission" vehicles are essentially disposable, and are scrapped for seemingly minor damage or malfunction. This makes the claim of being "climate friendly" a joke, since recycling costs and environmental factors are being ignored in calculating the true impact of making/operating/recycling the vehicles.

The cost of insuring EV's is being spread out to non-EV's, which is obviously a subsidy to the EV's. Talk about class warfare!

Can I charge it outside? Far away from the structure that my wife and I like to sleep in?

The info on these EV's is there for anyone to read. Most who buy one just chose to ignore it. A BUNCH of people are soon going to get a real big dose of reality and they will then scream for gov to bail them out.

Just another casualty in the war on things that work.

Wait... so you're telling me that batteries don't work in the cold? shocking!
