I think that’s already been proven, at least in the case of Teslas, that the batteries DO actually last that long on average?

Batteries that lose range but still functioning generally are being swapped out but then sold as house batteries, will incredibly useful and bigger than most house batteries. So they are not a total loss and largely still functioning. Newer battery systems allow swap out of individual cells.

If you look in the comments, someone swapped out the BMW to a cheap ICE car and the Tesla was still cheaper, lol.

I don’t know where you are but electricity prices here have been going down as we add more renewables to the grid. Most EV owners have solar, and mostly charge for less or free from home - I’m one of them.
