I live In Tampa, FL and due to the heat, humidity and salty air, you can expect to have to replace your ICE (gas) car battery every 2-3 years (some of it depends on if you garage your car etc.) I just replaced mine and that’s been my experience so far. So my question is-if you live in say, St Pete FL or any coastal city, could the salty air cause the EV batteries to degrade even faster? Salt=corrosion. On top of that, summer here is normally highs in the low to mid 90’s and several months there are temps in the mid to high 80’s. My confidence is low in those EVs performing well down here on any coast. More about heat and batteries https://www.autolist.com/guides/how-long-do-car-batteries-last-in-florida
