  • Nearly 14k miles is a lot for people in some locations. This is more or less what I was talking about. OP was throwing out random (trust me bro) figures, but the numbers I’ve seen are more nuanced, like these.

    My point was basically that I thought their assertions were rather naive. I like the idea of electric, but not necessarily what I’ve seen out of the tech rn.

    I’d also be curious how things worked over the life of the vehicle, and not some arbitrary tipping point early on in the x axis.

    Battery replacement is usually going to be far more significant than 14k miles, but will have to happen. A standard carolla or camery can run for fucking ever with modest investment in care. All the care in the world won’t protect you against batteries going belly-up.
