Here's what happens when your Tesla Roadster (or any EV) reaches the end of battery life
You won't be able to sell a used electric, you will have to pay to have it disposed of.
I liken them to be in the same league as cell phones, just on a larger scale.
I was just thinking that. Every time I get a new cellphone (every 5 years or so?) my old one is generally failing due to the battery and old enough I can't trade it in for any discount. So I end up with all these old cellphones and nothing I can do with them.
I think EV's will be the same deal, only on a much larger and messier scale.
Everything I have ever owned that was battery operated has at some point become useless due to failing batteries. And if someone think EV's will be different because the batteries can be replaced has never owned a battery operated power tool and had to buy all new tools because batteries for the old tools are more than just buying new tools that come with new batteries.
I wonder if most people pushing the EV stuff are the same people that get a new cellphone every 6 months or a year and have never experienced their cellphone shutting off at 40% charge because the battery has gone bad. These will be the same people that get a new car every 12 months and never experience coasting to the side of the road in their GSV (Government Sanctioned Vehicle) when the range meter said 53 miles and they are still 20 miles from home.
And I think we will have perpetual motion devices and space travel long before an EV can charge in half the time it takes to fill up on gas. At least in the real world, maybe those things will happen in virtual reality were we can pretend EV's actually work like the elite want us to think they do.
