Could… source ??
What kind of car?
Upwards. Not down?
Is that what Musk is charging in his cars that would appreciate in value?
10 years in on 2014 Spark doing just fine
Maintenance cost? One new normal battery
Bought used
Folks had a hard time giving up horses too
What we need is to recycle lithium (?) No market for it, yet.
Does anything get recycled anymore?? We pay for it. We certainly pay for deposit fees.
Haha. Dumbass wannabe a lawyer…NONE of this changes the OP one bit. Nor does it address the question of the hidden high operating costs of EV's.

I’ve watched Night Court. I know what happens when you go before a judge and mention a case without citation. Come back here after you graduate from the Dick Wolf school of law.
Well…Translation: Someone stepped on his dick again.
Why is it the government's job to tell you what the maintenance costs will be on your car?The government won't tell you, that to replace the batteries in an ElectricCar could cost upwards of $25,000.00.
Hey JS. How are you?Why is it the government's job to tell you what the maintenance costs will be on your car?
Operating costs are much lower on EVs. The cost of replacing batteries is not hidden either, if they were then you trumptards wouldn't know about it.NONE of this changes the OP one bit. Nor does it address the question of the hidden high operating costs of EV's.
1.) The expensive cars have enough distance on a charge to only need a charge at their destinationThen, of course, there is the lack of electrical infrastructure and charging stations.
Can you say, "Charging Brownouts?"

My wife loves, loves her soon to be 2 year old Tesla Model Y. It's only has 15k miles and we've saved so much with her not buying gas albeit she does need to charge every other day.I have a Ford F-150 Lightning on which I have put, so far, about 17K miles. 90% local around town use, 10% long distance.
I LOVE IT! It is the PERFECT local vehicle.
Cost me $10K above same model ICE F-150 but got $7500 of that back from Feds.
320 mile range (realistically 250-275 depending on temp and speed). I tool around town, errands, lumber yard, etc.
Charge at home, once every 7-10 days. 1.8 mi/kWh in town driving at $0.14 / kWh (home night electric rate) = $0.07 per mile!!
Long distance charging is getting better now that I can use Tesla stations. Still a RIPOFF. 1.2 mile / kWh (highway speed) at $0.45 (approx) per kWh =~ $0.40 per mile. About 2x gas price for similar gas truck. That's OK, my contribution to environment.
1) Yes, I understand TCO, EV vs ICE is complicated but so far, in my favor. No maintenance.
2) Yes, I understand ECO/human rights issues with respect to batt fab. Not new and not just for EVs. Any limited resource in countries without strong human rights regulations.
3) Yes, I understand deferred pollution to source of electric generation. It is better / easier for Gov't to regulate ~1800 power plants than 250M drivers. Build more solar and wind, NOW.
Tried replacing a motor in ICE vehicle. Hell just changing the injectors in a 7.5 Ford Diesel is 15K.The government won't tell you, that to replace the batteries in an ElectricCar could cost upwards of $25,000.00.
