> Electric vehicles last longer.

Do they? Because ICE vehicles last decades and they don't have expensive battery packs that need replacing.




I'm willing to bet all of the ICE-related maintenance will cost more than a battery pack replacement.


I drove a $500 dollar car another 100,000 miles and only had to do oil changes for the engine. I'm guessing shocks, struts, etc that I did have to fix would be the same on an electric. This was on a 90s car, I'm assuming the current generation of ICE cars will only last longer if properly taken care of.
