Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer

The average warranty for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles varies depending on the manufacturer and region, but typically falls within the range of 3 to 7 years, with some up to 10.

So you're saying that ICE vehicles typically last 10 years or less.
There are risks in buying anything, new or used. The warranty is just a limited guarantee.
It used to be said of ICE vehicles that they'd never replace the horse. The big problem being that you can't grow the fuel.
With EVs, at least power points are pretty common. That wasn't the case for petrol stations, back in the day.
It's a management issue. The adaptable survived. You're just proving that you're not a survivor.

A EV battery replacement is multiples of times more expensive than an engine replacement on basically any non-supercar lol.
You’ve made some bad arguments but that one knocks it out of the park.

Except that EV batteries rarely need replacement. As I've proven time and time again.
Clearly, you have a belief system that is not supported by reality.

Except when they don’t, at which time you’ll be out of pocket tens of thousands of dollars.
People like you are insufferable. EVs are awesome, but they’re not perfect and they’re a much bigger risk buying second hand.

Nothing's perfect. The survivors are those who can work with reality.
The fact that you're unable to substantiate you assertions repeatedly proves my point.
I've been wondering whether you're deluded or dishonest. Your timeline suggests the latter.
