I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.

    They manage to convince the manufacturer to cover the cost.

    Battery warranties are pretty cut-and-dry, there’s little convincing needed.

    If the capacity is below the threshold, it gets replaced

      This assumes that it’s within the warranty period (or recall period assuming there is a recall). After that the customer absolutely will be on their own for the repairs assuming they don’t have an aftermarket warranty which a fair number of people don’t bother with.
