Again, when you need to resort to insults and disrespect, you've lost.

You could not say that any better. Thank you.

That's a tough call even for Habor Freight to develop an inexpensive battery lift sled. If EV are so reliable and batteries rarely fail, as a home mechanic, would it be worth investing in a battery lifting device? And there are already such devices on the automotive service tool market.

Properly tuned, both a chainsaw and brushcutter should idle without any blade movement. Perhaps we should teach our kids how to properly use and maintain gasoline-powered tools rather than scare them away from using them?

Exactly. Percentages of percentages. Hummmm on that data analysis technique. Then there is this paragraph in the insideEV article: "The good news is that, irrespective of the powertrain, the breakdown rate is steadily decreasing. In 2020, EVs had 8.5 breakdowns on average, while combustion...

I really don't understand your point in the last paragraph. A gasoline powered chainsaw, or weedwacker are more dangerous than a battery electric version? Because it has a several ounces of gasoline in it and children shouldn't handle gasoline?

OMG one of my rare misspellings! I was going to go with "lenz" at first. ;) And is a headlite some type of brand name for a headlamp with lower lumens output? Just askin'

The insideEV article discussing the ADAC study said ths: "A fan favorite gets a thumbs-down A quick glance over the results published by the ADAC shows that most EVs have had few breakdowns, with the exception of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which breaks the mold with a rather disappointing breakdown...

Then why not too, disregard the categories "Generator, Starter, Electrical System, Lighting", " Keys, Immobilizer", and "Other"?

Sticker on the door windows: "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass - My Window Crank Snapped Off" You have had to grow up in the 1970's to get that...

Lol, man, that was too easy. Lol.

When did I say there are not benefits unique to EV? I think I stated earlier in this thread that my first EV experience was in 1973 with a GE Electrak. All I have been discussing is the idea that EV are more reliable than ICEV because EV have "less moving parts" and therefore are a simpler...

When you have to resort to calling me a troll, I know I've won the discussion. Your problem is you are trying to apply data analytics (and incorrecty for that matter) to data that has already been analyzed and summarized.

In post #108 Garailroader said, pointinting out: "Actually the article indicated that tires were the only category that ICEV surpassed EV in reliability. - Tires are the only category where electric car face more breakdowns than combustion vehicles." AZfox's data show EV tire failures at...

I'm thinking a kit for a Lambo LM002 replica (2-door though).

I have a classic Sony Walkman cassette player WM-EX7 that I just sent out to an electronics refurb guy in Ohio in preparation for use in my Slate. I figured if I'm going with manual crank windows, I should go with the low fidelity of cassette tape (though the WM-EX7 was state of the Art for...

But you do realize 18% (EV "Motor, Motor Management, High Voltage System") is a larger number than 10% (ICEV "Engine/Transmission, Engine/Transmission Management, Fuel System"). Your premise has been in discussion with me, ICEV are more complex because they have more (rotating/moving) parts in...

Data integrity is necessary for good analysis.
