Comment on Fear Mongering About Range Anxiety Has To Stop — CT Governor Calls Out EV Opponents

  Last I checked an engine and transmission rebuild combined cost less than replacing just the batteries on an EV.

  Depends on which ones you buy and when.

  An ICE might need a rebuild every 20+ years but, we don’t even have 20 years of EV data to look at to compare.

  It’s very easy to look at 10+ year old batteries and extrapolate.

  What third party batteries can I buy and how much do they cost and how do they compare to OEM batteries?

  That’s what we call a “loaded question”. There’s all kinds of companies.

    Depends on which ones you buy and when. How much does it cost to replace an EV battery on average?

    It’s very easy to look at 10+ year old batteries and extrapolate. There aren’t a ton of 10+ year old EVs is my problem. 10 years ago EV were still a pretty niche thing. If you have that kind of info I’d love to take a look though.

    That’s what we call a “loaded question”. There’s all kinds of companies. I definitely wouldn’t call that a loaded question. How do you figure that it is?
