EV batteries lack reparability leading some insurers to junk whole cars after even minor collisions
Some insurers are forced to scrap whole electric vehicles if their batteries are scratched or slightly damaged as they lack reparability and cost as much as 50% of the total vehicle.
Fucking stop.....youre not turning this around....its like bitching about people giving up horses for cars
How about you and your children go dig cobalt then? See ya when you get back!
Electric cars replacing gasoline powered cars for the majority of the population is more like steam powered cars replacing horses for the entire population.
Electric vehicles and the batteries are not sustainable, and they will be a bigger environmental waste hazard than CFLs were. Maybe you remember how green those things were?
Will the battery tech exist that is recyclable and safe and affordable - maybe some day in the future, but we aren't anywhere close now.
I agree. If you don't want an EV, don't buy one., No need to lie about them.
Most modern cars are unibody construction, with advanced sensors and safety equipment and are totaled in anything more than a minor accident. An accident that would damage the battery of an electric car would most certainly total a similar ICE car.
~Lithium batteries suck, they explode, they are mined by children, let me just grab my lithium power tools, computer, phone, watch, etc.
Actual construction workers don't use battery powered tools. If you worked anywhere near the industry you would know your statement is bullshit. No one I repeat no one is framing, siding, flooring or roofing anything bigger than a shed with batteries. Do crews utilize them? Yes but it is a tiny fraction of total worked accomplished. How many welders are using battery operated equipment? I'm sure you know the answer
