    Challenge of Low Volume EVs

    An unfortunate challenge of low volume old EVs where no aftermarket or refurbishment exists. I feel for a buyer who risks an old EV. My thoughts are old EV's once this shortage stops will cost what an old high end Audi/MB/Alpha/Jag does because everyone is too chicken to buy one knowing battery...

    AC service

    Our 2013 Acura ILX(related to Civic) had weak AC. I took to my Indy and he noted he vacated 8.5 oz of Freon and put back in 15oz with green dye. The AC is now really cold and happy for $70 bill. Is it normal to lose that much in 9 years or does it likely have a larger leak?
