    Last I checked an engine and transmission rebuild combined cost less than replacing just the batteries on an EV. An ICE might need a rebuild every 20+ years but, we don’t even have 20 years of EV data to look at to compare.

    No, I don’t follow EVs super close. What brands allow this? What third party batteries can I buy and how much do they cost and how do they compare to OEM batteries?

      Depends on which ones you buy and when.

      An ICE might need a rebuild every 20+ years but, we don’t even have 20 years of EV data to look at to compare.

      It’s very easy to look at 10+ year old batteries and extrapolate.

      What third party batteries can I buy and how much do they cost and how do they compare to OEM batteries?

      That’s what we call a “loaded question”. There’s all kinds of companies.

        How much does it cost to replace an EV battery on average?

        It’s very easy to look at 10+ year old batteries and extrapolate.

        There aren’t a ton of 10+ year old EVs is my problem. 10 years ago EV were still a pretty niche thing. If you have that kind of info I’d love to take a look though.

        I definitely wouldn’t call that a loaded question. How do you figure that it is?
