12 volt batteries don't last…
12 volt batteries don't last forever. I don't know what point you're trying to make because you have to replace the 12-volt battery in any car, not just an EV. The owner had 45,000 mi on the car. I'm guessing that was more than the 12 volt batteries lifetime. If the 12 volt battery is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty then I don't see why you're complaining that you had to buy another blood acid battery. The battery pack that is the traction battery is covered for 8 years. That is not the 12 volt battery. So I do appreciate your article stating that 12-volt batteries do not last forever but that is a fact and happens to every car not just EVS.
