I have yet to see a comparison of the cost to operate an EV vs Petrol that allow for the expense of replacing batteries that have degraded over time.

Mine is at https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4127577/posts?page=51#51. Short version, since my wife and I were committed to driving nothing but used cars all our lives, when I decided to replace her car with an EV my deep dive price comparison was against used ICE cars, not new ICE cars. Thus, since we on average replaced our used ICE cars ever 7 years (vs 10 years battery replacement of an EV), combined with it was going to cost $10K to replace her crossover ICE car (used car prices had gone up in 2022, what will they be 7 years later?), my assumption is that saving on the ICE replacement on the 7th year anniversary of owning the EV will pay for the battery replacement on the 10th year.

It's almost like the bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the MSM don't want to cover that story... odd.
