Madagascar agrees.

EVs have a High voltage disconnect. I repaired my EV(inverter) with normal hand tools in my garage. I did have to buy a license and tool for flashing the firmware, but this is a problem in nearly every new vehicle, gas or electric.

EVs do not use more energy than gasoline cars, that’s nonsense. The best ICE engine is ~40% efficient plus the losses from braking. Battery electric is closer to 80%. They are only around 10-15% heavier.

Well everything’s more expensive than the thing you already own. It’s true, most are available in the higher end markets right now, but the Bolt and Leaf are pretty cheap. In the long run, almost all EVs are cheaper than their gas counterparts.

Those drawbacks are endlessly discussed online, to a ridiculous degree. Nothing is universally better, but EVs are almost as close as it gets. If there weren’t several whole industries dead set on preventing adoption they would have been adopted much quicker.

At least this is about autoimmune diseases which aren’t contagious.

Thanks for the suggestion

You can absolutely have both. In fact the galaxy S5 had both a swappable battery and IP67. Tons of devices do. Glued construction was always about reducing manufacturing costs, not about an IP rating.

I doubt most companies would bother. Apple is probably the only one with the volume to bother.

I’d much rather just have a bigger battery. Replacement is more useful for longevity for me.
