Electric Car batteries are designed to last up to 120,000 miles. Under really cold or very hot conditions, batteries will have shortened life. Some may only last 100k miles, while others may last 140k. However, they WILL fail.
Replacement cost for new batteries is anywhere from $15,000 to $18,000.
Congratulations. You now own a disposable car, which is more expensive to repair than its worth. It can't be sold and has no value.
Meanwhile, gasoline and diesel fuel cars have value up to 250,000 miles. They are resellable and repairable.
Guess what else, car insurance. I work in the field and the rates for electric are crazy. A fender bender will never be just a fender bender in a Tesla
If we are being honest, modern day gas cars aren't a ton better on the plastic front. So much of it is plastic now.
All the electrical sensors in the panels. Add tech = harder and more expensive to fix. Like all our engines now. You need a computer degree to be a mechanic now.
Bodies are aluminum - recycle Batteries are lithium, Cobalt, Copper, magnesium, copper and aluminum-all battery grade
There is a fortune in metals sitting there
True but it takes someone bold enough to see this potential.

There is opportunity here
I have a '98 Mazda b3000 (RWD sadly, but still good enough for my needs) with 272,000+ miles on It. it has some issues, but it still runs well.
that being said, I wouldn't mind genking the electric motors out of those EVs. I could come up with all sorts of things to use them for.
a semi can easily do 150k miles a year, was just wondering about how long one of those batteries will last and how much they cost to replace,
