It will be interesting to see what the useful lifetime of electric vehicles will be. In theory, they should last a lot longer because they have fewer mechanical parts. So, maybe the older ones will keep running fine but upper-middle-class people won't want to drive them because they look worn and shabby. Which is sort of what happens with gas cars now, but to a greater degree. Maybe 30, 40, and 50 year old cars will become common, assuming the frames don't rust out and someone still makes replacement parts (including batteries, when those eventually wear out). And then there's the software... I don't have a lot of confidence in any company to supply software updates for multiple decades. I hope we don't end up in a scenario where wealthy people have secure vehicles and the less well-off just shrug and accept malware on their car as the price of living in modern times.
