The EV cult is straight up delusional, at this point.

Lmao, well not if you drive electric no.
Sure it will "last" 150,000 miles, but the battery's max capacity is 35% of original by the time the car hits 15,000 miles.
Seriously? That's madness.
Batteries don't like heat, and both driving and charging the EV introduces heat into the system.
Batteries don't like cold either, as it slows down their internal chemical reactions.
About the only environment batteries like are laboratory settings with a consistent 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Not only that: summer you want to put in AC, reducing your range. Winter you want to out on heating reducing your range also. People just never think things through.
I can't use my ebike in Temps over 32 degrees celsuis
No he's being rhetorical. Battery degradation sucks though. My iPhone on 85% of its original life feels like it's 50%.
We have no reason to believe the “battery health” reported to us by the operating systems installed on our phones. Cell phone makers have every reason to concoct utterly retarded metrics that wildly understate performance loss over time. As you say, an “85%” battery feels like a 50% battery - probably because it is actually the latter.
Depends on the EV. I owned a Leaf. I kept it in a temperate climate and always charged properly to specs, and before 70k miles it was down to about 40% range.
I have zero doubt it'll be unusable before it could have ever hit 150k.
Lol. My truck currently has 140k miles on it and is on track to last well beyond 250k. My last vehicle had 220k before I got rid of it.
These people live under a rock.
I hit 250000 months ago. Dodge ram 1500. I've only replaced the water pump and radiator. Now im crossing my fingers that I haven't jinxed myself by talking about it.
They live in cities manly West Cost Silicon Valley types with their longest commute being an Uber to Burning Man.
Both of my cars are over that.
That's baby mileage. What are they talking about?
