An inferior technology to ICE is still an inferior technology regardless of the price. Battery car technology is not as good as ICE car technology. Let the brain dead fan boys buy them and then wonder where they’re going to get the new battery for them 8-10 years later

I doubt anyone buying an electric car is planning to keep it that long.

A Tesla Battery Should Last Decades
Tesla (and Elon Musk) claims its EV batteries can last between 300,000 and 400,000 miles before they die and need to be replaced. Data collected by research firm NimbleFins seems to back this up — a study of 557 Tesla vehicles conducted by the company showed an average of 90% battery capacity even with 150,000 miles on the odometer.

Most people drive around 40 miles per day and about 273 miles per week, according to auto insurance writer Liz Jenson. At that pace, it would take someone between 21 and 35 years to put their Tesla’s battery through enough cycles that it needed a replacement.

Electric is a fine solution for certain subset of needs, but it can’t compete in the general case.

If your needs fit within this subset then by all means buy yourself an electric car.

If you need a general case vehicle however, and you buy one of these as your only vehicle you will be disappointed.
