Do you have a citation for that?
- Marsymars 8y agoNo. I'm not making any claims about the long-term durability of EVs, just pointing out the result that selling more durable cars will have on the auto manufacturing industry. I don't know that long-term durability of EVs is even knowable yet, the oldest Model S is only four years old. Average age of cars on the road in the USA is 12 years, so we'll need to wait a while for good comparison data.
- Sohcahtoa82 8y agoEVs haven't been on the road long enough to really know what the long-term durability is. But generally, EVs have a lot fewer moving parts. There's less to break. Theoretically, they should last significantly longer.
