We're a decade in on BEVs and the whole "replace your battery pack" worry has utterly failed to materialize. Most BEVs will simply never need a replacement.

  Why does Nissan have a battery pack replacement program if they never need to be replaced? https://electrek.co/2018/03/26/nissan-leaf-battery-pack-replacement-program/ https://electrek.co/2018/03/26/nissan-leaf-battery-pack-repl...

    Because Nissan has pretty poor thermal management of their battery packs. Tesla's batteries are doing much better.

      This is thread isn’t about Teslas, it is about the whole electric car industry. Tesla defenders don’t need to get their hackles up. Parent post said batteries in BEVs will never need to be replaced.

        I mentioned it because I used to assume that serious degradation is just something batteries do, but I learned that this is wrong and proper battery management all but eliminates the problem.
