10,000 miles. After that you'll need to avoid charging your car too much, too quickly, too often, or in the cold. Great fit for a family on the move...
MSNBC (10/9/23) reports: "Electric cars have surged in popularity due to high gas prices and the emergence of new all-electric vehicles across all major vehicle types. Because electric cars are a relatively new technology, prospective buyers may be curious about how long they can expect these cars to last. From battery life to expected length of ownership for popular electric cars, we answer the question of how long you can expect EVs to remain on the road. Because replacing a car’s battery pack can cost upwards of $20,000, it’s likely the end of a car’s battery life is when drivers will choose to replace their vehicle. When it comes to the lifespan of an EV battery, many factors should be taken into account. While electric car battery life can vary, EV manufacturers are required to provide a warranty on their batteries for at least 8 years or 10,000 miles. Just like traditional gasoline vehicles, some manufacturers offer longer warranties...Although modern EV batteries are built to stand the test of time, that only remains true if they are properly maintained. Electric car battery life is also affected by the number of times the battery pack is charged and depleted. The more charging cycles, the faster the battery will degrade."

"By almost any measure, America’s air quality is clean and getting cleaner. Thus, to argue that [Biden's proposed gas-furnace ban] alleged air quality benefits outweigh the substantial costs to American consumers is weak."
