The answer is for everyone to refuse to buy an EV.
Better to spend the money having your current vehicle maintained, even if it means spending a few thousand to do so.

Only thing is so many car parts suppliers have already started insulating themselves by running out of stock on so many parts and they are not restocking those parts.
Forcing you to abandon a project or go after market.
The Aftermarket quality is Hit or Miss at best and mostly miss any more.

I didn't say it wasn't going to be a fight, but when they see their overflow vehicle lots filling up with unsold EVs, the need for money will generate changes in their production plans.

A lill up date the owner was over last night to check things out he and his son are very happy with the progress I have made I was about to start welding in the rear window rust repair patch pieces when they showed up and the Beer started flowing of course all work stopped The Telling of Lies and Bench racing started LOL good times.

Sorry didn't get any pics last night but I will today of the repair before and after.
After I have to start prepping it for the Epoxy then it will go to Chassis shop, after they are done I will get it back as a roller to finish the body work and Paint.
