    It’s all about the battery. Lithium ion batteries are very expensive, they degrade over time, and have been known to catch fire. Even ignoring the fire hazard, the batteries lose capacity in a few years, as well as in cold weather. This is why EVs have no resale value. Replacing the battery costs more than the car is worth. The battery can also be damaged in even a minor accident, leading to very high insurance rates. Until and unless better batteries are developed, EVs will not be widely accepted.

      I brought a used model S. It's range is now lower when charged fully. I got it from a mom and pop used car lot. The old man told me he'll give it to me for 10 thousand dollars, just please get it off my lot. I was the 3 ird person to look at it in the 10 months it sat there. I gave him 10K cash. Well aware of the reduction in range which trust me is short and shitty and aware of the reduction in battery quality, i only use it for local destinations only. I only drive it within a 10 mile radius. When it comes to long range travels, i park the S and break out my jaguar XJL. A large full size luxury automobile which tesla dosent even make, paid off at 41K, 3 minutes to fuel and for a range of 570 miles which supersedes my model S across the board. Very smooth and comfortable and more than a pleasure to drive. If i had to get rid of one of them it would definitely be the model S sorry to say. There's absolutely no way in hell im going to boast any car that provides me with less. Yes it's cheaper to charge but for the times you have to plug in and stay awhile and for the short and shitty range you get, trust me cheap is the least they can do for you. I take damn good care of my jaguar XJL and the results? It takes damn good care of me and does so with far greater features than my model S. As an owner of an EV i must truthfully admit, till they improve the EV with shorter down times and a range of atleast 500 miles, they are not all that. I see why the majority dosent want anything to do with them. And if you paid 1000 dollars quarterly for your car, you got ripped off by your mechanic. I pay that every one and a half years out of the 3 years i had my gas car.

    Looking at the scheme of things I honestly wouldn’t even buy a hybrid let alone a full EV. People tend to forget Hybrids still run lithium ion batteries and when you consider they would have the same downfalls as normal EVs like the risk of thermal runaway, battery degradation and ultimately battery replacement together with the fact it makes a vehicle more complex as you’ve got 2 drive systems and the fact you still need trained EV technicians to work on them it’s to big of a risk.

As far as your Highlander goes being Aussie I can only think of a Highlander as being a Toyota and as a high spec vehicle. Now since I was a young fella I’ve always believed in KISS (keep it simple stupid) and I’ve always believed we have made motor vehicles way to complicated and to specialised with the use of high technology that in a lot of vehicles is prone to failure and I’m not just talking economy vehicles here either. You don’t have to look too far to see vehicles with individual problems but look at the number of mass recalls we see these days often to do with electronic component issues.

If EVs are so simple you wouldn’t have the situation we’re seeing where there is a shortage of QUALIFIED EV technicians as for them being simpler than ICE vehicles with all the electronic technology involved and recalls they’re obviously not. Finally as far as warranties go car companies as we see more and more tend to write up big warranties and then don’t honour them when there’s a problem and by the Way if you look after your ICE vehicle and keep up on the maintenance schedule they will last a dam sight longer than the life of a lithium battery which because of battery degradation, frequent fast charging and wear and tear is lucky to see out 10 years of service life.

      I would never buy an EV but in 2007 I bought my first hybrid a Toyota Prius and then traded up to a better specced Toyota Prius in 2010. I had that car for almost ten years and did 150000 miles in it. Apart from general wear and tear maintenance I did not have a single issue with it - absolutely nothing went wrong!
      Then sadly the stealing of catalytic converters epidemic started and it was game over as mine got stolen too in the summer of 2019😭😭😭 - now I drive a regular gas powered Kia Sportage which I’m also very happy with although it’s not as reliable as the Toyota Prius but fortunately comes with a 7 year warranty.

    EV batteries should be built with standardized, user-replaceable, and low priced modules of 1 KWh each. The EV battery should have an option for which it can be on a lifetime lease, so anytime the battery fails - totally or partially - the manufacturer takes it back and replaces it with a new or renewed battery.
    While such policies of battery standardisation, modularity and leases may initially be more expensive for the EVs manufacturers, they would kickstart the used EVs market and the private EVs repairshops, and improve sales greatly.
    EU/US EVs manufacturers should also avoid the use of reluctance motors, and use induction motors in all their EVs. Induction motors are 10-20% bigger for the same output power, but they don't use any magnet of any type. This would help them because they wouldn't require anymore the neodymium and all ofher rare earths on which the Far East country has a monopoly.

    America at one time a Hundred years ago had Oil wells everywhere but not today because the wells dried up, and America started working with the Arab nations because they have oil and you could see the oil well everywhere in Saudi Arabia and when you see all these oil wells that is how America looked a hundred years ago.
    But now you see the oil wells offshore in the oceans and the gulf, why that is a clear sing that the Oil is drying up. The more and more we go offshore is proof that oil is getting harder and harder to find and the clear sign that it is inevitable that one day Oil will run out so the Electric Car is inevitable the way of the future whether we like it or not.
    Edited by Google Gemini
    America used to have many oil wells, but they dried up, leading to reliance on Arab nations for oil.
    The shift to offshore drilling indicates that oil is becoming harder to find.
    This suggests that oil will eventually run out, making electric cars the inevitable future of transportation.

But politics and big money is getting in the way of development. Don’t get addicted to the koolaid.
