Lmao the Prius power transfer case certainly does cost a bit, about 2/3 the cost of a battery new. Anyway, no facts visible from your side of the discussion, so once again I guess you've shown your lack of knowledge.

I'll be buying an EV, if I have to buy a car at all, and I'll enjoy the hell out of it. "Blowing" 30minutes is fine, I don't drive more than 200mi at a time without a break.

Lol. Unlike an EV battery that's guaranteed to fail, those transfer cases almost never fail, and when they do, it's because it went 300,000 miles without the fluid ever being changed. You're a joke. Plus, now I know you're a joke that doesn't know anything about vehicles. You don't even own one.

I've restored two older vehicles, car & motorcycle. Every system touched, ECU to o2 sensor, friction plates to differential seals. Completely rebuilt from scratch, end to end, on the wiring harness.

100+ years of development and refinement, still gets much less than 5% of energy into moving you after drivetrain losses.

Debunk it.

Good thing gasoline is waaaay more energy dense than current gen batteries. Now ima go put a mere 36 pounds worth of gasoline in my car, so I can drive around for a range that takes a 1,000 pound battery to do in an EV. Bye!

Less energy dense, and outperforms the hell out of gasoline simultaneously. What an embarrassing thing to be proud of 😂 have fun.
