Electric vehicles, properly called "coal-powered" vehicles, have a bit honking battery.
When the big honking battery dies, the car is a paperweight with wheels. So you replace the battery, right?
...what happens when the battery needs replacing? And what happens when the replacement battery costs more than the car itself? For a St. Petersburg family, that is the exact position they found themselves in. Avery Siwinski who is 17 years old was excited to get a car to drive herself to and from school. Her parents spent $11,000 on a used electric car for her. It’s a 2014 Ford Focus Electric, with 60,000 miles. ...
Battery crapped out after a few months.
...The Ford dealership had advised us that we could replace the electric car battery, he said. It would only cost $14,000!...
Probably about the same to replace the drivetrain with a gasoline-powered engine & transmission (etc.)
Go for the engine-job. Stop burning coal!!
