Well whatever, timing couldn't be better. Once people start paying more out of their pocket for gas, It's always a reflection of the president, whether you think he has any control over pricing or not. It won't bode well for him. ..... And like I said OPEC can't stand Biden, They told him to pull his pud last time he asked for an increase in production.... Just another reason why fuel will be cheaper under Trump by a minimum of 10% within 3 months. The betting floor is now open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPEC maximizes profits long term, regardless of president. That or they use it as a weapon to get something they want. That’s why if you ask them to increase supply, you had better bring a gift. Biden clearly didn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Average cost of electric car battery replacement: There are several factors that determine the replacement cost of an electric car battery, including the make and model of the car, the size and capacity of the battery, market prices, and the cost of labor. On average, you can expect the replacement cost of an electric car's battery to run from $5,000 to upward of $15,000, according to an article from Consumer Reports. As a general rule, the larger the battery is, the more expensive it is to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 While most of an electric car's battery replacement costs go toward the parts themselves, it will still need a qualified mechanic to install them. Auto mechanics' labor rates vary by city, state, and whether the technician works at a dealership or an independent shop. A ballpark figure for labor costs to replace an EV battery would be about $900 on the low end and upward of $2,000 on the high end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wives BMW and my mother's Volvo both had new engines in the past 2 years. Neither were high mileage either, but once you tickle 200k I would expect the replacement odds to go up. In the not so distant figure you will say the same about battery replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
