The reality is that the battery maintains 70-80% capacity after 10 years.

The 'reality' that I've heard and read is that, EV batteries lose about 50% capacity after about 5 years, and at about 8 years, you need to get a new one.

I know of 3 EV owners who gave up on their EVs because they couldn't put up with the hassle of having to recharge batteries almost daily, and a couple of them said their batteries held about 50-70% charge after about 5-6 years usage. Of course, the life expectancy of your EV battery varies, dependent upon your usage and environment. But, those 3 drivers traded in their EVs for regular ICE vehicles.

When I went to my local Ford dealer, there were about 20 EVs on the lot that had been traded in, and the salesman said that people weren't really interested in purchasing second-hand EVs. So, there's that bit of negative.

My daughter had ordered a Tesla Y, but gave up on it after she heard and read a few negative reports on EVs (not necessarily reports about the model Y).
