In most U.S. zip codes, electric vehicles are cost-competitive with their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study. And regarding emissions benefits of EVs, individual driving patterns matter as much as regional factors like the local electricity mix.
Not only that but certain models use modular battery packs, so you can replace individual cells when they wear out rather than the whole battery.
So instead of having to spend somewhere around $20k, you may only need to pay $3-4k to replace a worn cell which is closer in cost to a hybrid battery replacement.
Which brands do that?
Tesla Ford and VW are the ones I’m aware of, but I’m sure there are others.
Not Tesla. The battery pack is frame integrated. GReEn rEvOlUtIoN
Oh ok then, guess I was wrong about them using modular batteries.
I think that only applies to some Model Y cars and all of …🤮Cybertruck.
