Replacing an engine, i never change any engine in my 20 years of driving. lulz

By the time you have to change the battery, the car is worth less than the cost to replace the battery

That's a theory. In practical, can you still able to find battery for Nokia 3310? My kancil bought earlier than my 3310, kancil still running well. If it's an EV, should need a battery change to work.

According to my honda salesman, the costly circuit board makes this Honda Insight not worth to own. This is just his word, not proven yet nor I have any friends to verify this. I still saw some insight on the road.

By 2030, older EV cars already become scrap. No parts and no expertise to repair.

Erm not really

iPhone battery is expensive cause they serialised their official battery and will give popup if you put in unauthorised battery, even if it’s genuine battery gotten straight from another iPhone.

You have no choice but to pay RM400 if you can’t accept having the popup. There’s RM60 battery from reputable manufacturers that’s as good if not better than ori iPhone battery, the price isn’t an indication of quality here.

long before the popup thingy happened, the price of battery at SC is already damn expensive.

was talking about ip8 and below period

but yes, there are some third party battery provider that offer bang for bucks , but most of the time u need to do trial and error... so yeah...

The guy on the street where will know which manufacturer is reputable. Also which battery is not fake?

Even for android phone, the shop will ask you which battery price range you want?
How to know betul2 you getting the reputable one and not fake?

Looking forward to it. Would prefer a safer battery though even the supposedly safe byd blade do have thermal runaway issue.
