I get the engine and transmission tech doesn’t translate over but the vast majority of the chassis, transmission and pretty much everything else stays the same in a car.

That being said, having driven my EV for a year or so I somewhat find ICE vehicles gross now. All that sputtering, poisons, jerkiness, continuous maintenance, loudness etc. just feels so primitive. The only place it still makes sense is for situations that require a lot of power like long distance hauling, heavy equipment etc.




My opinion as well. There is really nothing basically super special about electric vehicles. 90% is just standard commodity automotive tech.


It’s like going back to plastic bags, cups and water bottles. It just feels gross to touch and you can feel getting poisoned.
