Welcome to the modern automotive age. This all actually began decades ago when auto makers started with built in failabilty parts. Ever wonder why parts fail just after the warranty ends? But running over a "metal can" would never cause that much damage to running gear on an ICE vehicle. It would be almost impossible to do more than dent a metal oil pan. But newer vehicles still have enough plastic underneath to cause serious issues with road debris. But again, that's modern automotive age.

EVs are junk in my book. I'll never own one. At least not until I can do all the repair work myself, which will never happen. Add in lack of infrastructure to charge, real life proof of just how much BS we were fed about EVs and costs and it's an easy NOPE.

We need to look into microsizing diesel electric motors into passenger vehicles. Take those giant diesel electric motors in heavy earth moving equipment and put it in cars and trucks.
