Second hand Hybrid and EV market

[fncceo]

EV's are the future

Then buy them in the future… if that future come to be.

EV's are the future. Battery technologies are evolving.

Do you own one?

 

[westwall]

Well, some EV's depreciate over $600 per day!! Won't take long for them to be cheaper than a new battery.

Forcing the manufacturers to give life time warranty on batteries will just make them go bust.

Or make them stop building them completely.

No I do not

Is it going to be viable?

This chap looked at the second hand market on a BMW 330e, 8 year old, and priced cheaply (as BMW's go) at £7,500.

So he enquired with the MBW dealership that if the main Hybrid battery needs replaced, how much would it cost? The answer being £10,000 -





Personally, I would never own a hybrid or EV, and the risk factor on wallets and purses with second hand versions possibly wanting a replacement battery, just not viable.

There's probably ways to get around that. Depends on the complexity and proprietariness of their system.
I would like see a very small turbo diesel powering a large electric drive system with a battery system and some capacitors in between to keep things smooth. To where you could just pull over and let the diesel run to charge it
to full. Weight is everything, though.

No I do not

So why do you believe EV’s are the future? What is it about them that should make us want them?

Eventually fuel cell technologies will not rely upon precious metals.
that will be the game changer. I do not care if you want one. Your car, your choice

Sure. Fuel cells are great. The issue is the hydrogen. Most abundant element in the universe. Too bad it readily chemically bonds with other atoms. Even worse that breaking that chemical bond costs more in energy than the hydrogen provides.

But you didn’t answer the question. We do you think EV’s are or should be the future.

Because that's the party line.

Most e-cars cars these days do not use fuel cells at all. They use battery packs.
Hundreds of cells in series and parallel to get the desired output. Lots of "moving parts".

In 25 years or so they’ll be laughing at us and our gasoline powered cars.

Maybe, maybe not. Once X amount of torque and speed is necessary, batteries are not the best
choice at the moment.
Batteries are OK for things like anywhere from RC drones to 2-person light vehicles,
anything heavier than that, and the battery weight needed vs. speed and power slopes steadily down.

Not when my taxes subsidize the buyer of an EV car and states mandate their purchase. Trump stopped this insanity.

I like my 500 horsepower gas guzzling Pick up. I like to get in front of an EV car and hit the gas hard

your vehicle your choice. Tesla will blow you off the road.
The Tesla Model S Plaid has an official 0-60 mph time of 1.99 seconds

Apparently so.
