Yeah, I didn't want to say entire engine! Not what ya want to hear. Hoping it wasn't. Lifter can be delt with easier.


So what's the deal rodeogirl?

That's not good

Sorry to hear. That can be expensive.

I think the problem with the Electric cars is going to be the batteries. Old car = old batteries. Unless they do some major improvements on the batteries, we are looking at an environmental disaster.
They now charge you at the battery store to take used A, AA, etc. batteries - that used to be a free deal to drop them off for recycling.

i've not seen any prices for battery recycling here yet, but perhaps that will be coming.

as far as electric car batteries i know they're working on newer and better battery technology all the time and also prices will keep improving as the factories get bigger. the other aspect of it all is that the batteries will get recycled and reused when appropriate so i'm not that pessimistic. already battery prices have fallen by quite a bit and we're still on the early part of all of this.
