  • So, just so you know, the average EV battery weighs 1000lbs, and some all the way up to 2000lbs in something like the EV hummer. (Unnecessary I know). The cost to have a battery in an EV replaced currently sits around $5000 to $15000 off of warranty. So there are definitely obstacles. Along with letting the general public fry themselves trying to hook up a 400v battery. You’re not dealing with AA batteries. Battery technology is far away from something able to swap out yourself with the ease you may be thinking of.









  • People are supposed to be complying with that since 2020 since it’s announced. Yes 2025 is the amnesty deadline, but if people haven’t taken part now, they won’t by then.

    Edit: the actual buyback program doesn’t take effect until 2025 when the amnesty period ends. So again, with having 2000 models of weapons now prohibited since 2020, has it made an impact on firearm crime rates? Another question to ask is whether the buyback program will reduce crime rates. Which if all these prohibited weapons are already locked up like fort Knox, what real difference will it make?
