Looking at Aging Wheels YouTube channel with his fleet of non working Wheegos, the answer is no, they won't.

A lot of his problems are also from the lack of available parts.

Which is why he has multiples of some of the orphaned cars in his fleet.

That's why I bought an electric car from a car company. Mostly the same parts besides the drivetrain.

Yeah, I got a Bolt EUV last year. No regrets so far.

I got a Kia EV6, the only negative is they used an older infotainment system so i don't get wireless android auto. When the new ones come out for the same car I went to see if I can get it changed out.

Yeah, but hes got 4 and none of them work. Or at least the one working one is also breaking down a lot.
