Its also worth remembering there is a lot less maintenance to do on an EV. No oil to change, lubes to replace, belts that break...

Besides the batteries, an EV car should last longer than a gas car.

It doesn't though. Electric cars full of DRM

[–] Smokeless7048 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DRM... which makes you need to replace belts, and oil?

I didn't say they were easier to work on, just lower maintenance. On my gas car i need to change the oil ever 6 months. You dont need to do that with an EV.

I'm mostly referring to the "smart" features. Modern EVs are a not designed to be taken apart and understood

Gas-powered cars can be and will be (if they aren't already) subject to just as much DRM. Modern gas-powered cars have plenty of computers to apply DRM to. The only reason EVs may have more DRM currently is because they were developed from a tech company perspective which has more experience in software to implement that DRM. Running off a battery instead of gas doesn't make a car inherently more DRM-able.

True but I don't see any 2005 EVs on the road

[–] Negromungusschlong -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They have the same components except the engine, but they weigh more and the batteries dont last as long as a well maintained engine. EV cars should not last as long.

[–] Smokeless7048 2 points 1 year ago

The main wear points on a car are all related to the engine and powertrain (pistons, transmission, timing belt). EV Tires will go more quickly, due to the increased vehicle weight. I'm not sure how that will impact bushings.

Outside of those, I agree an EV is going to wear similarly.

They have the same components except the engine

  • Transmission (usually larger and more expensive than the engine)
  • Exhaust, muffler and catalytic converter
  • Gas tank, fuel pump and vapor hose
  • Ignition coil(s), spark plugs, oil pump, intake and exhaust manifolds and fuel injectors
  • Fucking belts
  • CV joints, differentials and transfer case (I think)
