Nothing's perfect. The survivors are those who can work with reality.

The fact that you're unable to substantiate you assertions repeatedly proves my point.

@Whirlybird
Except that EV batteries rarely need replacement. As I've proven time and time again.

Clearly, you have a belief system that is not supported by reality.

@Whirlybird
The average warranty for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles varies depending on the manufacturer and region, but typically falls within the range of 3 to 7 years, with some up to 10.

So you're saying that ICE vehicles typically last 10 years or less.

There are risks in buying anything, new or used. The warranty is just a limited guarantee.

It used to be said of ICE vehicles that they'd never replace the horse. The big problem being that you can't grow the fuel.

With EVs, at least power points are pretty common. That wasn't the case for petrol stations, back in the day.

It's a management issue. The adaptable survived. You're just proving that you're not a survivor.

Yet you can only assert your belief @Whirlybird
Even a little trustworthy evidence would enhance your credibility.

"... generally, EV batteries are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle ..."

I can keep providing references all day, if you want.

@Whirlybird @kudra
The condition of a used EV depends on how it's been treated. EVs are not alone in that.

In general, the battery of a modern EV can be expected to last for the useful life of the vehicle. "... scientists discovered that battery replacements were very rare, with only about 1.5 percent of EVs needing a replacement – and almost all of those replacements were under warranty."

No matter what Palestinians do, Zionists will keep killing them. Zionism has done for the Star of David, what Nazism did for the swastika.

Meanwhile, back in the real world @Seagoon_

The fact is that the vast majority of death, destruction and terror in the region have been inflicted by Israel and its Zionist progenitors. Zionists were the original middle-east terrorists and remain the most depraved.

The parallels between Fascism/Nazism and 🇮🇱 Zionism are indisputable @AntiOutsideAktion but not really relevant. Zionist hasbara introduces complications as distraction.

For example; arguing about, who was "there" "first", then introducing ancient mythology (which actually tends to disprove their arguments).

@Tangentism
It was Ilan Pappé, I think, who quipped:
"Zionists don't believe in God, but they'll all tell you that God gave them Israel."
🇮🇱 Zionists are as Jewish as is convenient at any moment.

I think you'll find that all of the "original Zionists" were Christian @GarrulousBrevity
What we now call "Zionism" grew after the Protestant Reformation, and is rooted in 17th-century English Puritanism.

It had two significant streams:

  1. the return of Jews to Palestine (basically, a way to rid Europe of its Jews - a form of antisemitism, a couple of centuries before that term was coined);
  2. the second coming of Jesus (Jews who want to survive don't remain Jewish).

At the time, Jewish communities weren't impressed. In the 19th century, Herzl and his friends exploited the movement to their own ends.

@Maggoty
@TruthSandwich is a well-known troll. It proved so obnoxious that no other Mastodon instance would put up with it. It had to start its own instance. The fact that it could do that implies financial (and probably political) backing. I've blocked that domain, so I can't see what you're responding to.
