Not sure if you're being intentionally dishonest. It makes no sense for ICE cars to be in good working condition and EVs to have dead batteries. If anything I'd be much more worried about an engine/transmission dying in an ICE car because you need to know how the car was driven and maintained by the previous owner(s).


The power bus transformer/controller is essentially the EV equivalent of transmission. It can die and also be very expensive

ICE car dies after X miles are driven.

EV car dies after X years have elapsed, regardless of mileage.


Nope. Battery life isn’t simply dependent on time passed. Al lot is based on how it’s charged and discharged
