#38 $1,000 cell phones stop working because the battery will not stay charged. A battery that costs no more then $15 at Amazon. The battery is glued in place as is the back. You have to heat up the glue and pry apart the parts to replace the battery. https://www.ifixit.com
Now a single cell in a electric car stops working and you can be guaranteed that the WHOLE battery pack costing thousands would have to be replaced. You will never have a $50 repair with a battery powered car.

for a battery replacement!!!
In the past it was a minute.
