Why wouldn’t they quote the cost of spark plugs or cylinder heads or transmission syncros? They’re all part of the same powertrain.
If catalytic converters comprised 80% of the cost of the powertrain, and 30% of the cost of the vehicle, and they ICE more expensive than EVs, they probably would point to that as an explanation for why they’re more expensive. But none of those things are true.
That’s what Elon sold us. The cost of a battery has dropped 90% in the last decade. Why dont ICE haters quote the cost of catalytic converters?
They’re still very expensive.
I don’t know, why would they?
Because EVs don’t have them and they are expensive. JFC buddy, would a crayon picture help?
