EVs are literally pieces of crap, especially after the first fender bender!

EV batteries lack reparability leading some insurers to junk whole cars after even minor collisions

Unless reparability in EV batteries is addressed and fixed, the pile-ups will increase — and so too, will premiums, expert says

A scratched or slightly damaged electric battery might be enough for some insurers to write off entire cars, as for many electric vehicles there is no way to repair battery packs after collisions.

As a result, the consumer — who likely acquired an electric vehicle wanting to reduce monthly costs — faces higher premiums and some countries are starting to see electric vehicle batteries piling up in scrapyards, according to Reuters.

Matthew Avery, research director at automotive risk intelligence company Thatcham Research, said the goal of electric vehicles was sustainability, but a lack of reparability is creating a whole new problem.

"We're buying electric cars for sustainability reasons," Avery said, Reuters reported. "But an EV isn't very sustainable if you've got to throw the battery away after a minor collision."

ALL moderncars are a piece of crap after a collision today, the means of propulsion being irrelevant.

They don't have full frames anymore. They're all throwaway unibodies.
They're designed to crush and absorb the blow rather than jolt the occupants.

No problem, the dem administration will continue to close up our oil lines, stop gas stoves, and continue to be dependent on our adversaries to import oil, while our economy and inflation keep on destroying our economy and our lifestyles. All those in favor of going down this electric path toward Armageddon, please raise your collective leftist hands.

My raised F250 diesel 4x4 would drive over the top of a EV like a speed bump.

US crude oil production is higher now than at any point in the Trump administration. Oops.

false, another liberal lie

I have LITERALLY put you on ignore. See how that works?

Not quite.

"Fox" *snort*

I'd say if you feel that way about them you shouldn't buy one, but then I realized that you can't afford one so this is just sour grapes.

Just bought an $80k pick up so whatever. I guess you can continue to work your way toward one on your back

Yeah, my bad.....you're right, there was a month there where it exceeded what it is now. The point still stands though, this suggestion that Biden has slashed domestic production is total bullshit.

He took our oil resources down to an almost empty level, and you continue to say that our oil production under biden surpasses that of Trump? Get real!

Not so. All passengers cars without exception are unibodies now.

The 2011 Lincoln Town Car was the last body-on-frame constructed passenger car,
and consequently, the last passenger car built properly [except for being underpowered].

Every car built today, including Rolls Royces and Ferraris, are throw-aways if they have any meaningful collision at all.

EV's it is now fairly clear are just not going to work. Maybe hydrogen will but gas powered are now so efficient that switching out to anything else makes little sense.

Not that this will stop our overlords from demanding the change.

If the environment is still capable of being saved, gasoline powered motorcars,
despite how evolved they've become since their debut in late 19th century,
must be abandoned.

If the earth is, at this point, beyond salvation as a habitat for humanity, then we may as well do whatever the fuck we want.
I don't have grandkids. I don't give a fuck. It's somebody else's problem to decide where we stand.
