You don't seem to understand how often a single battery out of the entire pack go out. Or how often the charging system fails. The heating and airconditioning system on the S10 EV's were also prone. But the major problem is that the batteries don't last long enough and are costly this outweigh's all other maintenance costs by a very huge amount! Look I drove an electric S10 at work for a few years, it was horrible! Peppy performance though.
