    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.

            Also, mr.engineer of ev’s; why don’t you go ahead and explain how I’m oh so wrong about the batteries in today’s (or 10 year old) ev’s. I’d just love to hear you explain how the batteries don’t go bad after so many charge cycles.

              I believe an idiot once said

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

              So why are you talking? While I normally disagree with such gatekeeping, since it’s what you believe take your own advice, your opinion has no weight.

                Understand some context there. Its not hard. . Being an engineer doesn’t give you magic knowledge of all things. If you’re a bridge engineer you don’t know a damned thing about batteries. So simply being “an engineer” doesn’t give you an opinion worth while on batteries.

                  Poor and feeble self-correction.

                  You started this shitball rolling, and are unhappy with being called out. Wah.

                  Scroll up for a response to your other statements, dummy.

                  The context is, in one breath you said “unless you are an engineer stfu” (paraphrased) and in the next you said “I’m not an engineer” (again paraphrased.)

                  There’s really no other way to read that.
