I would much prefer my chances at getting ev bearings than gearbox bearings for an ice.
The simplicity of Evs can’t be denied on serviceability. The only argument comes down to ignorance.
- kube-system 4y agoBearings are pretty much industrial jellybeans. The biggest difference between the two is that an ICE would have many more of them.
- aunty_helen 4y agoI know, I have a pallet of spare parts including a disassembled gearbox, heads, valve trains and model specific parts because if I break any of it on my car there’s no going down the the parts store. If I drop second gear it’s nearby fatal for my car. An ev would be better than this and in comparison to a modern ice, much much better. As for being jellybeans, sure roller bearings you can spend an hour searching a part catalog and find something similar. But those aren’t the ones I keep spares or would swap over from my spare parts box. Even engine bearings are becoming hard to find now on a once reasonably popular motor
- kube-system 4y agoI've got a spare parts engine sitting in my garage for a classic vehicle. But 35 years from now, I don't expect it'll be any easier to find a motor controller for a 35 year old EV.
