Look at a Chevy Volt. Small battery, great for daily drives and gas engine. Hyper reliable. 130k miles with nothing major to note. Cheap repairs because it shares 90% of parts with other models.
It wouldn't be a bad idea. But also you never know. My old car's battery lasted 8 years before I finally had to replace it. Sometimes things just chug along for a long time
The bolt (possibly the cheapest used EV available) batteries last well into the 200,000mi lifespan. My insurance lowered $80 when I bought my first EV. My state started charging an extra $150 to register an EV in 2019. About the same as the average ICE owner would pay in gas tax.
Generally speaking the ownership cost is low. I have had a 2013 Volt since new. I hardly ever need the engine to run, so it has had 6 oil changes in 12 years. I have done no other engine maintenance. It still has its original traction battery and is still performing well.
I've got the Yuasa battery since 6 months and it's working flawlessly ????
I've got about 7 yrs on a yuasa wet battery for 79 flh. I've always had great luck with both harley and yuasa batteries.
Energizer or Yuasa are good quality from my experience. I’ve had an energizer for 5 years now still running and my last yuasa ran great till I drained it to zero doing stupid.
At 10 years and 330,000 kms my Volt battery didn't even show degradation.
What is the sound of one hand clapping? Does a bear sh1t in the woods? If the bear does, is the turd a uniform size and power that will work with attributes of all the other different sized bears out there?
Chevy Bolt. Then it was recalled for the battery fire issue.
