It is where I live in the Midwest, but California and Hawaii? Plus its going to surge when EVs become mainstream, Obama even said as much "electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket". Not only that, the battery lasts 8 - 10 years and cost 35,960!!! You can get a brand new 4WD truck for that. And the gov't labeling EVs as zero emissions is the biggest lie ever told -- where I live electricity comes from coal!!! I'm not bashing the Lightening its very cool, just keeping in real.

Charging above 80% or letting the battery fall to zero regularly will do that, or letting the battery sit without charging / discharging it regularly. I suppose if you regularly tow a lot of weight that does mean more charge / discharge cycles, but as long as you don't treat the battery like crap I don't see it ending the battery's life 5-6 years early. All sorts of issues happen in ICE cars when you let them sit too. All in all, EV's are much less complicated and batteries will only continue to get better and electric motors will continue to get more efficient. China is trying out a "battery as a service" system that you pay a monthly subscription for. When your battery runs out of juice, you drive into an automated battery swap station and a robot swaps the battery out in the car for a freshly charged one in a process that only takes a few minutes. It may not be perfect, but I think a modular standardized battery system for EV's would be great. With a swappable battery bank, EV's could easily go 1M miles only needing to change the brakes and eventually suspension components.

The reliability is awful with any electric vehicle, because electronics are not like mechanical parts, which can break too but its way easier and less complicated to fix, people have been fixing mechanical parts since the first car was made. Just look at older electric vehicles or luxury vehicles that had tons of electronics in them, they are all selling for cheap, no one wants to fix them.

Even considering the amount of CO2 put into the environment during the manufacturing of an electric vehicle and the amount it would consume from grid sources over its lifetime, the efficiency of an EV still means it will put a lot less carbon into the environment. Tesla and other luxury EV manufacturers follow an Apple-like business model and are anti right to repair, but it doesn't have to be that way. It is possible to build a simple repairable EV, but like modern computers or smartphones no company wants to do it that way because they would last a long time and that would cut into profits.

As far as the batteries are concerned, check out Gruber Motors. They take the battery and refurbish it because it’s usually a few cells that fail that need to be replaced.

@joeyscleaninglady2877

the cells need to be matched... just changing a resistive cell will not fix this issue. It is just a band aid on having to change the whole sheet- which needs to be matched to the rest of the pack.. You can't mix and match new cells with aged cells and expect longevity.

@Yippee Skippy I was thinking 80 max but you're probably right if you load up the family and your towing a travel trailer and everybody's stuff.

@Mach-EzorGT

@Yippee Skippy No. As with gasoline or diesel trucks, adding a trailer will reduce the range by about half. So, ~115 miles for the lower-capacity battery, and ~150 for the extended range, in ideal conditions, and the truck will update its range in real-time to show the difference with a trailer attached. It may not be the best for long hauling, but for shorter trips (and certainly for businesses towing equipment around a town), it's quite enough.

Yeahhhhh I'm waiting to actually see this happen, for any car maker. Batteries at 10 years are on their last legs, but I've owned numerous reliable vehicles purchased for cheap that were >10 years old and >100k miles which had probably another 60-100k left without any major overhauls. Manufacturers aren't going to do it for free, and even a DIY job costs a large amount. (Though that doesn't matter for this case, of course.) Side note, but it leaves me actually worried about the future of cheap transportation for people who have no other option. (Talking a few decades in the future, of course.) Unless a breakthrough overcomes the battery life problem, the cheap $1k-5k cars one can grab today are bound to become scarce. (Maybe cars will move strongly to a lease/rent model to overcome this, though that'd be shit for consumers, haha.)
