If you have just 68,000 miles on your Chevy, that would be about 1/3 of the life of the battery of an EV. Figure on 250 miles per charge and 1,000 charges, but allow for losses so maybe 200k miles on a battery before you need to replace it.

EV won't work for me. Can't spend hours charging on the road on long trips. My car has 275,000 miles and EV would have needed a new battery long ago.

Batteries wear out by just age. Car batteries will die after 7-8 years even when barely used. I wonder how many years EV batteries will last by small use like 5000 miles/year which what I put on the car.
