Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 day agoYou take a car, make it more complicated by adding an entire second power and drive system, and then expect it to not cost a fortune to maintain later?
Fucking stupidity.
Almost as fucking stupid as not looking up the long term reliability on a Prius, or a Volt. There’s good reasons why city cab companies buy them.

Cabs don’t drive like you do. Neither based on distance driven, nor the constant stop and go driving that optimizes hybrid use case.
Full electric is better for a lot of taxi locations, which is why a lot of Cab companies are now starting to switch their fleets over.
Even Uber ditched it’s Uber Green branding for Uber Electric.
Every single Waymo on the road is fully electric at this point after they phased out their hybrid units a couple years ago.
