Will UAW Strike?

Yea, the warranty on a Mach E battery is 8 years/100,000 miles. Then what? I have (2) vehicles older than 8 years now. My old F150 would probably be on its 3rd or 4th battery by now if it was an EV. Aftermarket EV battery replacement is going to have to be a thing.

A friend of mine tried to cheap out on batteries for his electric golf cart and got bit. He ended up replacing the replacement batteries. An EV would be that times about 6 or 8 I guess.

I'm not sure an electric golf cart battery is in the same ballpark as an EV battery. Doubt you would get an 8 yr/120K warranty on a golf cart battery.

But there is a history of ICE vehicles going over 200k miles. It is not uncommon

How many EV’s have gone 200k miles without a battery replacement?

I don't know, which is my point. I think that there is speculation, too early to form data and spread possible falsehoods. I'm not pro EV non anti EV. I think some paint EV owners with a broad stroke. Does anyone really think that EV's are clean? I don't, but there are "cleaner" aspects of it. Not al EV's are powered by fossil fuels.
I also don't care for the current stance of phasing out ICE vehicles. Let the market decide.

EV owners shift the pollution problem from the individual to the big corporation.

For those who buy an EV thinking they are "saving" the planet or the environment I agree. However it might be better to concentrate the pollution at one source, coal burner power plant, than spread the pollution around the cities and towns.

However, the secondary benefit of EV's is the reduction of noise pollution which I believe is more of a problem.

I don’t know…..
I would think thinly-spread pollution might be a better solution than concentrated in one spot. The people living in that heavily polluted one spot would be crying that they are being unfairly treated?

EVs require a lot fewer factory workers. I suppose they can make up costs there
