Comment on EV Batteries Are Dangerous to Repair. Here’s Why Mechanics Are Doing So Anyway
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 9 months agoCole, shut the fuck up. You’re what we call a shade-tree mechanic, and a particularly weak one at that.
What was the lack of understanding you showed last time, something along the lines of “show me a battery you can get more than 1200 cycles from” and when I pointed out that you didn’t understand the definition of a charge cycle, you just… Vanished.
What’s a charge cycle, sloth thoughts? Is it what a battery in the lab, going 0 to 100% to 0 does to determine longevity? Is the more realistic 95-45% a “cycle” or only part of one?
Is losing 75 miles of capacity on a 220mi battery after 12 years on a car unacceptable? Aw poor genius, I guess you don’t remember how shitty gas engines run after about 2-300k miles. Meanwhile your electric car has gone a minimum 300k miles (250mi x 1200 cycles) and are still able to accelerate with full power and efficiency.
As I said before, people like you are why we have professional engineer licenses, lest the pubic believe a charlatan lowlife such as yourself.

You think you won at something in an old string because I stopped replying to your dumbass nonsense? A cycle is a complete discharge and charge, BTW.
Also, ice engines run great beyond 200k miles. They don’t “get worse” like EV’s do. I own two vehicles at my house right now that have 230k on one and 239k on the other. They don’t burn oil and they still get the rated mpg. Ice engines don’t wear out and start getting shitty as miles go up until they have a major failure like a rod go out or a blown head gasket seal. Sorry you never knew how to take care of a vehicle.
