Nio is a Chinese auto maker that offers an alternative to charging: just swapping out the whole battery whenever you need it. I borrowed one of their cars. ■...
Yeah and that’s why I’m not advocating for 100 year cars.
I’d be pretty happy with 20 years to, but 10 just feels like planned obsolescence.
I also messed around with the math very loosly, and only accounting for crashes that total a car, they could be expected to go 20 years or more on average.
And that’s now with all the terrible driving that happens, especially at night.
With slight deacrease in accident frequncy that number can increase a lot.
So maybe 30 is a bit much for now, but I’d still like an ev that would claim to last 20 yeara.

Either way, you’re complaining that EVs don’t do something that ICE cars also don’t do.
The average car age is 12.5 years, so many of them are likely approaching 20
