  • Where are you going to buy your replacement gasoline engine and transmission? The previous owner decided that oil change intervals were more of a guideline anyway. One big win in buying a used EV is that maintenance is minimal, so there’s less worry about how the previous owner treated the car.

    I promise replacing your drivetrain at 200k is going to cost more than a battery pack.

    I can get an aftermarket LiFePo battery replacement for my prius for 1/10th the cost of an OEM. It’s just a bunch of laptop batteries in a box, it really doesn’t have to be super expensive. As adoption grows aftermarket battery replacements will plummet in price.
