Old ICE cars are also usually dead when major drivetrain parts fail after a decade and a half.

For old ice car the solution often is to swap with used parts from wrecked vehicles. Not suitable for batteries.

  • We had a 2010 Ford Transit van (diesel) and after 189000km, we sold it because the parts were becoming too hard to source (disclaimer: in New Zealand).

  • For old EVs the solution is to deal with used parts from wrecked vehicles. It can absolutely be suitable for batteries.
