this kinda stuff always seems silly for someone who does their own oil/maintenance. once i can replace my own batteries for ~1/3rd the cost, MAYBE i’ll be interested.
That would be like me saying I’d go from EV back to gas if I could replace my own engine. Yes, it’s a very expensive thing if you need to do it, but it’s also very unlikely to be needed. EVs are starting to age, and batteries have generally held up just fine outside of the Nissan Leaf (which doesn’t have a proper thermal management system)
