Who can afford to lay out the coin for a hybrid vehicle and then another $4000 for a battery replacement? I’m not trying knock the EV’s, I’m trying to tell you why people don’t want them shoved down their throats before all the necessary technology and cost efficiency is provided.

I have never had to replace engine in any of my vehicles which was mostly used when I brought them. But, I knew if the previous owners had some clue of preventive maintenance which most don’t. Why the trade when warranty about out.
