At first, I thought this was the right direction. However, given the current cost of lithium-ion batteries, it’s still too expensive. $12,500 USD equals approximately $17,300 CAD, and the EV repair shop charges about $2,000 CAD to install the battery pack. With taxes and shop fees, the total...

Me parking at the dealership. ;)

I didn't notice any difference. I could tell there was some degradation, but that’s expected with an almost ten-year-old battery. It still runs, and I could probably keep it going longer with a dongle, but I need a vehicle I can rely on, especially since I’m taking care of my 92-year-old mother...
