Talking about a BS warranty... Service required at dealer to maintain warranty..

For 10 years.. with an annual dealer cost...



Other car companies have 8 year battery warranty with no service required...

On top of this their car is crap and they don't even own a factory to build them in...

He cites no law saying that what the company is doing is illegal. Norway? I'm not looking for Norway and its political subdivisions regulations.

So its a meh video

Bolts have had many recalls. I passed on that car even when they deeply discounted them.

My Volt has no recall issues out of the ordinary. Have one 10 yrs old.

ICE cars have had fire issues to in the past. This aspect of EVs is interesting but has not risen to an issue of major importance.

I'm fine with EVs..not fine with gov't saying you cannot buy or manufacturers cannot produce ICE cars.

And I did have a battery go bad in a hybrid car ... and understood that the value of a car (EV/hybrid) going down faster in value was a possibility too.

If you want to make the argument that fires happen due to EVs then the same argument can be made of coal and wood stoves. My view is its a choice for all, knowing the risks.
