I am waiting to see what shakes out for long term repair costs for EV's.
Will they be prohibitively expensive to repair long term? Another possibility I imagine is manufacturers establishing enough backwards compatibility to make long term repairs a place for improvement. If you have to replace the battery on a 10 year old EV, will you get a battery with tech from when the car was new or will you have the option of getting a better battery with current technology? Could you double the range of your old car just by getting a newer battery? (Euan McTurk just answered that in the first video I watched) Will it even be worth it/cost effective to replace the battery at all? |

The thought is long term investment and a return on that investment. Porsche did a lot of research and thought about this with the Taycan and went a different route with the cooling aspect of the batteries. It was one of the more difficult design decisions they made.With more heat comes battery degredation and the same goes for solar cells. That.s why they rate them at 70 degrees F. When it was introduced at the PCA event I went to I asked the lead engineer what they hated the most about the aspects of the car and the answer he gave me was interesting. The rear view mirrors. |
