    Last I checked an engine and transmission rebuild combined cost less than replacing just the batteries on an EV.

    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.

      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?
