"the replacement battery would come with the hefty price tag of £15,000 plus the hourly wage of £200! To make matters worse, the pensioner researched to check the vehicle’s value: the Mercedes hybrid was only worth £12,850 according to Auto Trader ." Scrap out the car when the battery runs out. Great Plan!

this is not the only shock that you will get from electri cars

wait for when electricity cost will double....

Double? lol

2 things, the grid can't handle the demand that 100% electric will demand and we'll have wished the price only doubled.

Nuclear power is much safer and economical than even solar or wind energy, neither of which can actually come close to meeting peak demand.

With everyone driving EVs and fast charging them away from home, the biggest issues will be in distribution. Local stations will have to be upgraded to handle not just more energy, but large power demands.

Right now if everyone turns on their AC there are problems. Cars take far more power and energy than an AC system.

But cars don't have to be charged during the day, like AC use. They can all be charged at night. All at the same time. Oh, wait...

Peak demand? What about instant demand???

The crazy thing about electricity distribution is that the electricity produced by powerplants is used immediately. Your computer plugged into the wall is using electricity that was produced in a large generator seconds ago many miles away. There's no storage of the energy. The large electricity grids are connected machines that do their best to keep the voltage within acceptable limits between 110-120 volts at the average home. When more electricity is demanded by the grid it slows down the turbines and generators, when they can't keep up auxiliary natural gas plants and other powerplants come online to make up for it.

Jews love to cut corners but that causes problems with nuclear.

Jews don't work in nuclear power. They own the energy companies and the finances probably. Actual engineers design and run nuclear powerplants and the safety regulations are the strictest in the world by far. Every nuclear country has their own energy department that oversees everything and they also have the International Atomic Energy Agency which oversees everything they do. Japan ignored the IAEA concerns that the Fukushima powerplant's diesel backup generators were in the basement on the coast where tsunamis happen. Every other nuclear plant on Japan's coast shut down automatically and were cooled by backup generators that stayed dry.

He won't buy another electric vehicle, if the overlords give him a choice.

The prices of lithium and cobalt required to continue making electric cars are skyrocketing. China controls most reserves of those minerals. Most cobalt comes from the Congo and many of the companies that buy from there are Chinese.

Even so, the price for this battery is ridiculous compared to other EVs. It's just a Mercedes price tag.

Has this asshole ever owned a used German car before? They cost more to repair than they're "worth" the moment the warranty expires. It's more of an investment over time thing.

The old Volkswagens are one of the easiest cars to work on, it's what i use to teach kids.

Every year they are making it harder to work on these things yourself. Soon working on a engine will be the thing of the past.

Wonder why the Elites want us to have electric cars?

Well I meant "used" not old. Kek. The older it is the better time you have. Right about 5 yrs is where everything goes wrong and no warranty. I got the hardware and software to hack on BMWs but yeah they intentionally make it hard. And parts are expensive until you can get aftermarket, assuming you can

Kind of stupid, because for an older car many parts replaced would cost more than the car is worth used. It's why cars are totaled even though they are repairable.

Scrap out the car when the battery runs out. Great Plan!

That is the plan.

That's what you get for buying eurotrash vehicles.

They are required by law to be contradictory: Get those government cars to save the earth, also be sure to scrap the entire car because it is cheaper than replacing the battery.

Yep, this was the entire point of the Cash For Clunkers scam Obama's regime did.

Only Tesla's version of this tech will survive. 4680 batteries with their powerwall will fix the grid.
