    The two issues I have with current EVs is you can’t work on them and they don’t last as long as gas vehicles.

    I have a old suburu and it still runs fine

      Its also worth remembering there is a lot less maintenance to do on an EV. No oil to change, lubes to replace, belts that break…

      Besides the batteries, an EV car should last longer than a gas car.

        They have the same components except the engine, but they weigh more and the batteries dont last as long as a well maintained engine. EV cars should not last as long.

          DRM… which makes you need to replace belts, and oil?

          I didn’t say they were easier to work on, just lower maintenance. On my gas car i need to change the oil ever 6 months. You dont need to do that with an EV.
