I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.

    Wow. Like, I can buy a cheap Chinese motorcycle and it’ll come with 3 years warranty, yet Buick can’t manage 4

      It’s because they’re not telling you the whole story. A bad engine not covered by warranty? That means they probably ran it out of oil or something.

        Quite possibly, along with another commenter who said ICE cars start to give problems at 70,000 miles.

        Literally yesterday I was joking that my British friend’s 2005 Seat Leon is just about broken in since it passed 250,000 miles. Still runs like clockwork apparently.

          ICE cars probably DO give them trouble, because they’re the kind of person who refuses to take care of it.
