Love my new X5 M50i. Drove it 800 miles yesterday to VA. 2 quick gas stops and back on the road!

Read Robert F. Kennedy Jrs. book "The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health."

I wonder what the resale value is going to be for EV’s. The batteries do have shelf life and r very expensive to replace

It depends on the model. For example, first generation Nissan Leafs had a poorly designed battery temperature management system and consequently a short battery life and the resale values reflected that. Teslas, on the other hand, maintain their value because it is not unusual for a Tesla battery to last 300k miles. Tesla is aiming for power trains that will last 1 million miles.

Currently they are less reliable than ICE cars.
