The downside of electric vehicles.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

GM warrants their electric car batteries for 8 years/100 000 miles (both for defects and scheduled replacement). If you get it replaced every 5 years, you never have to purchase a battery - the car will be out of warranty, but the battery won’t.

Knock the wax outta your ears mate.

We' re talking the effect on POOR people.

Not those well to do people that can afford a NEW car every couple years. Or EVER.

I for one have NEVER owned a new car and find the possibility rather unlikely.

But that effect would have to do with the cost of the car, not the cost of battery replacement (which was the point you seemed to be making).
