Ugh. The trite, baseless elitism. I’m an engineer and I disagree with your take.
“Bad ev battery” how? Dead cell? Too many unbalanced cells? How many cycles?

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 9 months agoFunny enough, I haven’t seen one chime in, yet. But since less than 1 in 1000 people happen to be ev engineers, that would still put me well within the top 1%, even with them above me. As for me, I just started up working on a bad ev battery just today. Find me your engineer. They won’t disagree with me. No one who designs rechargeable batteries of any kind would. They aren’t stupid.

If you aren’t an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight. Too many cells will not hold/take a charge. Old batt in a high mileage vehicle.

Lol “no true Scotsman” indeed. It certainly weights more than yours as I do in fact help with energy systems, including ev batteries.
ColonSloth, what’s the term for stolen valor, specifically when someone pretends to be an engineer? Now you know why the FE & PE exams exist.

At no point did I ever even hint to being an engineer, my man.
Also, mr.engineer of ev’s; why don’t you go ahead and explain how I’m oh so wrong about the batteries in today’s (or 10 year old) ev’s. I’d just love to hear you explain how the batteries don’t go bad after so many charge cycles.

Someone with that experience replied to your comment and you ignored it.

Coincidentally, in addition to having a BS in EE and an MS in CompE, I was a senior engineer working on battery control systems for three seasons with a Formula E team in my previous job.

You’re right, I’m not stupid which is precisely why I haven’t “chimed in” on your unqualified opinions.
