The cost of a battery has dropped 90% in the last decade.

They're still very expensive.

Why dont ICE haters quote the cost of catalytic converters?

I don't know, why would they?

I don’t know, why would they?

Because EVs don't have them and they are expensive. JFC buddy, would a crayon picture help?

Why wouldn't they quote the cost of spark plugs or cylinder heads or transmission syncros? They're all part of the same powertrain. Were you dropped on your head as a child?
