It is when it comes to car batteries because third party car mechanics cannot fix these unless the manufacturing companies share how to, which they’re lobbying very hard to not have to do. (And make these commercials where you get raped in parking lots, to scare people away from third party repair shops)
You are essentially forced to scrap your EV and buy a new one because the manufacturing companies charge you the same price as the entire car to replace the battery that they actually don’t know the full extend of the damage on.
Now, how good for the environment do you think it is to scrap entire cars for possibly a minor issue?
Louis Rossmann makes a ton of great videos addressing the problem with the EV industry and fights for the right to repair in various industries.
I am not against the idea of EVs. I just would not spend my money on one until the right to repair has been enforced on EVs. But also, I do not own a car nor do I have a license because I can rely on public transport where I live, so I probably won’t buy any car in my lifetime.
Fair enough, but that’s not going to be unique to EVs, is it?
