Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

For early EVs, where the battery life is "relatively short" (think 100K miles), yes. But ICE engine life up until about the late 80s was around that, too. Now it's more like 200K miles before a major engine repair costs more than it's worth doing. EV batteries are getting to around the same 200K mile threshold, and while the battery replacement will be expensive, it'll be the same "not wortht the cost, time to buy a new car" that a comparable ICE car would be.
