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.

Temu? Seriously not a big issue for me personally. I literally did battery vehicle integrations for about 10 years. But yeah, others are going to need more battery techs or integrators etc. today's mechanics will need to stretch again from ICE experts to battery integration experts. My guess is that it will be a good 10 years of tech transition. Meantime the political assholes with their worthless shit filled skulls will need cow prodding to get them to require battery standardization. So long as the size of the battery can come in predictable modules, then car makers can design around that and the dream of interchangeable battery systems could be realized...like it could be a standard voltage and amperage with variable capacity but constant volume/shape, connectors, interface signals etc. When all those dominoes fall in place it will be like when cars started to look similar... R13 tires for example with standard lug locations can be used in many different cars from many makers and many model years. I hope it goes eventually happens. Then also recyclability needs plenty of work. The current batteries are not that bad. They are mostly carbon after all.

Honestly curious as to why this got downvoted?
