None of those parts cost $22,000+ to repair though, like a Li-ion battery that's fundamental to the electric car.
We all know how to repair cylinders, pistons, or even engine-lift, transmission repairs or whatever. All those costs are well calculated and well known.
- gameswithgo 5y agoa 600 horsepower engine does tends to cost that much to repair
- petre 5y agoThen again who needs 600 hp in a passenger vehicle? Other than heavy truck or machinery operators, racing cars and generators for hospitals or banks I see no use for such an engine.
- josephcsible 5y agoThe only things you really need are food, water, oxygen, and medical care. But life would really, really suck if you never had anything you didn't need.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoThe engine on a $120k car also costs north of $20k to replace with an new OEM engine. The battery in a $30k EV costs a lot less than $20k to replace.
