So while that’s true in some circumstances, you need to realize that you’re an outlier. I happen to share your view on cars - if you take care of them, they’ll take care of you… but the vast majority of the country (and the world, to a somewhat lesser degree) seems to have come around to the “my car is just an appliance” mindset. Yes, it’s tragically wasteful, but that’s what people think nowadays.
EVs are going to be even worse if that’s the case. That $1200 bill from the mechanic is now going to be 10k for batteries or 5k for a drive motor…or even worse. People really are going to start throwing these away when faced with those types of costs.
Or companies will continue to design easier to repair systems and the price will continue to drop.
Are you really assuming we are done innovating in the EV industry?
