I don’t want to get into the nitpicking over numbers/sources etc as it’s just childish & contributes zero, however I will ask one question…what about the cost factor of when your EV is 10 years old & the battery fails ?.
The other interesting consideration is whether the current type of batteries being used in EVs will even be compatible with new charger tech in 10 years or so ? These are unknowns that those of us that aren’t short sighted & self absorbed do consider.
The only real stumbling block to ICE cars I can recall in recent history was the adoption of unleaded fuel in the 1980s which required older cars built to run on leaded fuel have hardened valve seats added to cylinder heads or simply an additive poured into each tank of fuel. Other than that pretty much any ICE car regardless of age can still use todays fuel source. Will the same be true of EV cars ? I’m not so sure.
…let me guess the response…crickets…
