Then why even reply… Waste of time and space. It’s ok to just move on.

Lithium batteries are very expensive(20k) and don’t last 250-300k miles. That’s an undeniable fact.

Engine swaps are not even close to that. You can swap 5 engines for the cost of a full battery swap.

And EVs aren’t saving the world. They’re saving a few people some money on gas. Which is much less than the extra cost of the cars unless you drive a lot, or live somewhere with expensive gas.

20% battery degradation after 100k miles is not a small issue. It’s extremely significant to the equation of value.

These aren’t “opinions.” They’re facts that are well addressed and talked about routinely. There’s no secret information about the limits of lithium batteries. They’re literally 18650 batteries. The same batteries consumers used for over a decade. We’re all aware of battery degradation.

Some people are in denial. And that’s on them.

You see lithium degradation curves here:

Yes. They’ll be “functional” for 2000+ cycles, but they don’t hold much charge after 1000 cycles.
