“EVs last 1,000,000 miles”??? Each time the batteries have to be replaced,, $5,000, $7,000, or more? They talk about setting up ‘fast’ charging stations. What they don’t say is that fast-charging a battery diminishes the overall life of the battery. I so enjoy fast-charging my 6 cylinder, gasoline-powered Ford. I can drive 4-700 miles per tank of gas, then pour energy into it, and go another 4-700 miles. I can ALWAYS use the heater and air conditioner without worrying.

Some don’t know that not only do you have to change the battery at $5K+ but you also have to change the inverter at another $5K a pop.

Plus tires, wear and tear of suspension components etc. With an ICE if you do regularly scheduled maintenance a motor can last the life of the owner and be handed down.

Yes, latest EVs are being built to million-mile specs … battery included.
