Can't tell if this is a serious comment or not... Sure a battery will last as long as the car, but it's of limited use of it only holds 30% of its original capacity after 7 or 8 years. Sure. It'll do 75 miles, so still useful for city drivers, but not for its intended use.

EV batteries lose about 1-2‰ per year. At the high end, that would be down to 78% after 10 years. A 300mi EV would still do 230mi.

Yep! Thats about what I think. I will not buy a car that are like most modern day cell phones. If the battery dies, I want to be able to replace it. Even better if there is a easy charging station like the above and giving the consumer more options.

So far most ev batteries do much better than cell phones, as long as they have cooling.
