Good, because i'm going to drive in to death the same way do my petrol car.



The good news is it might not take that long. As an automotive EE that was previously working the Fiat and GM, I can promise you this generation was not ready.


Care to elaborate, or is "automotive EE" supposed to be enough to just take your word on it? Because TFA has, like, data and shit to back up their assertions.


TFA is Wired.com, I guess you don’t know any better yet…

Studies done by industry partners that are all backed by China… is pretty much as bad as “Volvo (100% Geely Automotive, China) petitioning for EV semis.

Do NOT take my word for it. Call your dealerships that sell EVs and ask if they can repair a single bad cell in your out of warranty battery pack. Almost no one will take that work on. It’s actually dangerous and you won’t pay the labor cost.

Best case you can buy a used pack from a roll over or other wreck and good luck to you.
