A lot of stuff here that isn't true.

Batteries are very expensive.

Try to grasp that warranty plan to change out batteries under warranty. Most likely you will be getting a new "refurbished battery".

>>>>>You will get a new battery or a replacement that meets the range requirement of the warranty. Do you care?

Add up all the costs to make a plastic electric car ( fossil fuels required) .

>>>>>What are you talking about when you say "plastic electric car"? Teslas are essentially aluminum alloy and steel.

Where are all the cost benefit analysis's data to show the viability?

>>>>>Why don't you do a cost benefit analysis to show the non viability?

That is what engineers do.
We do not run a round selling a 1 degree change in world temperature justifies changing out an entire industry.
When China, Russia, all these other countries fully change over, then lets talk again.

>>>>>China is the world leader in electric cars. Russia, not so much, but who cares.

These ideas are being pushed by non scientific people.

>>>>Really? Want to prove that?

The world is laughing.

>>>>>No, they aren't. Many countries are rapidly moving to incent their populations to buy electric cars.

Where are all the electrics in Mexico, England, France and Canada.
Canada gets very very cold. Batteries do not like deep cold.
Recall that spec on a battery called "Cold Cranking Amps". Why is that?
So in Canada to buy an EV also means you need a heated garage. Total joke!

>>>>>Wrong. Just keep it plugged in. If you are parked overnight in cold weather without access to a plug then typically the battery will condition itself. Range is reduced in cold weather. It is what it is.

Now for safety issues. On average most electric cars involved in a decent accident, the batteries go on fire. Let alone the spontaneous eruption into flames while not driving.

>>>>>The spontaneous fires are in Chevy Bolts. They have all been recalled. Battery fires are harder to put out than gasoline fires. Fires in gasoline cars are more common than fires in EVs on a miles driven basis.

My favorite is the images showing an EV in the surf at the beach. Guess what some numb nut will try to do that. Warranty voided.

>>>>I haven't read the warranty restrictions on EVs and doubt you have either.

Also when salt water comes into contact with batteries. A very nasty gas called Chlorine is disassociated when the two mix.

>>>>>No. Regardless, lithium-ion batteries are sealed.

My other favorite is lets go to the mountain trails, off road. Now while we are 30 miles into the deep woods, battery failure. Then what? That is one hefty bill for a tow or a repair.

>>>>>If you want to construct worst case scenarios for every thing you do in life then you should stay home.


All Pigs in Lipstick..... still a Pig at the end of the day.

>>>>>Buy an EV or don't buy an EV, nobody cares. But please don't make up stuff.
