How automakers can drive electrified vehicle sales and profitability

You are both making claims, the positive and negative of a particular characteristic of batteries.

When I first read your comment, I thought you were a little over the top, but it sounded like you likely had something solid to back it up, so I was interested in learning something new. Personally, I don't make strong statements like that unless I can pretty quickly defend them. I honestly wasn't trying to catch you out. And seeing a myth busted is generally a good time!

As for phone batteries, I just had to replace mine, so that's not a particularly useful example. As I understand it, there's a lot of circuitry in phone batteries these days anyway, so I'm not sure what failed. I'm not going to use my anecdotal evidence for or against your case, for what it's worth.

Be well!

If I had said "No they maintain 100% at 500 cycles." Then I would also be making a claim. I made no claim, I just said his claim is an internet meme that is bullshit. There's a big difference. I'm not sure why this is so hard for you to understand.

I don't save a folder full of links to answer skeptical people on the internet and I'm not going to Google for you. If you're interested in reading articles, go look for yourself.

Anyway whatever. This has been a colossal waste of time.

What an unreasonably combative response.

Next time just say "sorry I don't have hard evidence for this opinion on hand". Nobody expects you to know everything but they do expect you to treat people decently.
