battery packs
sometimes i see arguments against getting an electric car because you have to replace the battery pack. which is just weird. the battery packs should last 100k miles. which is pretty much the life of the vehicle. and yeah, it would be expensive to replace. if you replaced it. but you won't. so why make a deal about it at all? i mean, the transmission in a gas car will wear out after 100k miles. and you'll have to replace it. but no one calculates how much the transmission costs per mile. of course not. that'd be absurd. it's part of the car. and is included in the sticker price of the car. it's cost is absorbed in the depreciation of the vehicle. i guess electric cars are so new that con-ponents can spew a whole lot of nonsense and get away with it. cause the opposing common sense doesn't exist yet.
