Moonbattery points out that electric cars like all cars have to have batteries, and batteries, at some point, need replacing, and that part, is going to cost ya!
Then there is the issue of replacing the batteries after they inevitably burn out. It might be less expensive just to buy another car:
Avery Siwinski who is 17 years old was excited to get a car to drive herself to and from school. Her parents spent $11,000 on a used electric car for her. It’s a Ford Focus Electric. The car is a 2014 model, with 60,000 miles.
After 6 months, it abruptly stopped running, needing a new battery.
“The Ford dealership had advised us that we could replace the battery,” [Avery’s grandfather Ray Siwinsky] said. “It would only cost $14,000.”
If they don’t want to pay $3,000 more for a new battery than they had for the car, they could always just sell the vehicle. Auto Nation offered to buy it for $500.
“Then we found out the batteries aren’t even available,” he said. “So it didn’t matter. They could cost twice as much and we still couldn’t get it.”
WOW! What a bargain huh?
