        I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from. But after 10 years of fast charging an EV’s battery’s will be royally fucked.

        But 10 years for a petrol or diesel car is nothing. My last car was 15 years old and ran like a dream until an old biddy pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in her car and wrote mine off.

          I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from but no one fast charges their battery for 10 years.

                Batteries degrade over time and fast charging accelerates that degradation. After a decade of charging and fast charging the battery’s capacity will be a fraction of what it was when new.

                These are facts, indisputable and verifiable facts.

                If you think I’m trolling then I am dead right about the intelligence of the average EV driver. They’re morons in denial about their poor purchase decisions.

                  No one is disputing that, Strawman. We’re disputing the notion that a battery will be “royally fucked” after 10 years and that anyone “fast charges their vehicle for 10 years”, as you put it.

                    What the hell are you talking about? 10 years of regular fast charging will fuck the battery.

                    Now clearly you have zero understanding about how and why battery degradation occurs yet you have planted your flag and are prepared to die on this hill.

                    As you seem rather unintelligent and/or a troll there doesn’t appear to much point in continuing this conversation.

                    Good bye.
