An EV drive train may have 20 parts, an ICE drive train will have over a thousand.
Here’s some parts an ICE car has that an EV doesn’t I can think of off the top of my head:
- Spark Plugs
- Starter
- Catalytic Converter
- Muffler
- Piston Rings
- Complicated transmission vs reduction gear
The list goes on. All of these parts will eventually need to be serviced or replaced. Also with no tailpipe emissions, all of those smog check places eventually go out of business as we transition to EVs.
- peteradio 3y agoB.S. There are not 1000+ replaceable parts unless you are counting them on the subpart per assembly. Mechanics replace assemblies not subparts.
- qingcharles 3y agoThat is true, but it's the subparts that break and require a whole sealed assembly to be replaced.
- throwaway5959 3y agoNot sure why you’re so upset but I only said there were 1000+ parts. Why would I want to manufacture a drive train with 1000s of parts (even in assemblies they still have to be made) vs 20?
- peteradio 3y agoI'm sorry you could hear me sobbing through text but the reality is ice drive trains are battle tested for 100 years. Ice vehicles are more reliable.
