This article basically said EV encounter the same 12V issues as ICE vehicles.
The real complaint here is $695 charge to replace the dealer. The 94 percent good seems like smoke and mirrors. Its such a precise number; if you live up north you know your battery is not at 100 during winter startups regardless of ICE or EV.

We are not told exactly what the $695 covered. There has to be more to it. If not, switch service centers, because that 12V battery is not some kind specialized unicorn of 12V, and access to it is not bad.

I am on my second Mach E, my first was a 21; I also have few classic ICE Mustangs It seems to me "most" of it's haters are non-EV experienced drivers. Renting a Tesla for a weekend doesn't count.

Why the tanget, why not? This article is a long disjointed tanget on EV battery experiences that are the same for ICE vehicles, yet somehow it's news because it's an EV.

I look forward to the day when armchair mechanics get an equal amount "informed" EV knowledge as they have with ICE, and a battery dieing won't be news worthy.
