Yeah that's a big problem. And a major drawback to EV.

Buyer beware. That's on those idiots for not doing their homework.

Yeah since they bought it used they should have looked in to it buttfuck Ford for no longer supporting a battery they made in 2014. FFS that's only 8 years old! When I look at old Jeeps I know there might be some parts that are no longer supported, but they are 40 year old vehicles. I'd never expect to not have support in an 8 year old car. It's fucked. It is also the reason EV adoption will be slower because of bonehead shit like this being done by major manufacturers. Morons.

What other gas powered 2014 cars are now worthless? What's the carbon footprint for a car that only lasts 1/3 the time?

The car had 60k on the odometer and the battery had to be replaced at a cost of more than the vehicle itself. If that was an ICE there'd be a recall.

Jeeps are an iconic vehicle. I own a '92 Wrangler and like you said I can get any part down to a bolt for that vehicle. 2014 was still very early in the EV production and why would anyone believe Ford would continue their development of a vehicle which sold very few in total? When I bought the Tesla, I knew I had an 8 year, unlimited mileage warranty on the battery.

How many were sold? I just wouldn't have bought an 8 year old Ford EV. They have little to no charging infrastructure. I just would have made very little sense to me.

Went mostly electric for yard shit. I like to keep the bushes around my fifth wheel tidy and neat. That being said the cost of the batteries is often more than the tool, so I'm not surprised.
