$23 grand for a battery plus the cost of the car? I don’t think they would have spent more on gas and maintenance.

I love how you’ve added the capital expense with the operating expenses on only one side of the equation but not the other. You know we can see that, right?

$23k is more than the cost of my last 2 ICE cars combined!

Now you’re comparing used cars to a new car.

Or do you buy $11k new cars?

No, I’m comparing two used cars to the cost of an EV battery replacement. Also, I was generously rounding up the cost of the two cars. My total was actually $12,200. $9k for a 2006 Subaru Forester and $3,200 for a 1992 Miata.
