Another fun fact.. the added cost of a hybrid will never acheive the cost savings that a couple miles/gallon provides.. and when you add in the cost of battery replacement in 10 years you're really in the hole!
So go ahead and buy one and stay off the oil BB's then.. could care less to hear your dreamt up scenarios that you think is fact.. LOL..
Yes, and stories like this always make one sit up and take notice. Imagine if you could scrape up enough to purchase a $56K EV and then be told a story like this shortly afterwards.
https://dailyhive.com/canada/canadian-driver-ev-replacement-battery One thing I know is that at the age of 83 I will not be purchasing an EV. I will never have that kind of money. I have owned more than a dozen cars in my time and only one of them was new. My first car in 1957 was a 1951 Ford Custom 4 dr sedan for less than $500. The new one I bought was a 1964 Ford Falcon, 6 cyl. std, 4-dr sedan at about $2600 brand new. Within 8 months I traded it with another guy for a 1964 Ford Falcon convertible with a 260 cu.in. V8, standard shift, 4 on-the-floor, as termed in those days. I think I gave him the 4 dr and about $600. My most expensive of the bunch was a 2002 Toyota Camry V6, fully loaded, which I bought in 2007 for $13,500 and still drive today. I don't put the miles on like I used to. With the new regulations and aging circumstances it may very well end up being my last car. Unless they try and mandate all gas burners off the road.
It's been a good life until somebody dreamt up this thing called Global Warming which was then changed to Climate Change because they realized it wasn't really warming. I have lived in it for 83 years and my life experience tells me that it is all just fear mongering to establish a whole new money flow. I could be wrong, I don't think I am but I won't be around when if it finally determined. In the 40's it was the heat, or warming. Then in the late 60's, early 70's it was the cold - the coming of the ice age they told us. Should I believe them now? I'm too old for that and been around the horn too many times.
