    Funny enough, I haven’t seen one chime in, yet. But since less than 1 in 1000 people happen to be ev engineers, that would still put me well within the top 1%, even with them above me. As for me, I just started up working on a bad ev battery just today. Find me your engineer. They won’t disagree with me. No one who designs rechargeable batteries of any kind would. They aren’t stupid.

      Coincidentally, in addition to having a BS in EE and an MS in CompE, I was a senior engineer working on battery control systems for three seasons with a Formula E team in my previous job.

      At no point did I ever even hint to being an engineer, my man

      and

      If you aren’t an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight.

      You’re right, I’m not stupid which is precisely why I haven’t “chimed in” on your unqualified opinions.

      Ugh. The trite, baseless elitism. I’m an engineer and I disagree with your take.

      “Bad ev battery” how? Dead cell? Too many unbalanced cells? How many cycles?

        If you aren’t an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight. Too many cells will not hold/take a charge. Old batt in a high mileage vehicle.
