Bullshit. https://www.geotab.com/fleet-management-solutions/ev-battery https://www.geotab.com/fleet-management-solutions/ev-battery...
And these are for 10-year old EV. Battery packs made today won't have to be replace after 15 years, and they'll certainly be used as stationary storage past their time on wheels.
More importantly, most EV will switch to LFP chemistry (already more than half Tesla's vehicles production), which degrades even less.

And this is for nickel-based batteries. Most EVs will be LFP in the foreseeable future, and they degrade far less. We'll certainly use the battery as long as they car can drive, and then, it will be added to the grid for stationary applications. Then, it will be sold and recycled.

- lifeplusplus 4y agoi'm used to buying a car for X use it for 7 years and then sell it back for 1..2k less. Let say i buy a used electric card with 80k miles on it, and use it for 7 years, and have put 150k miles, now wont I have trouble selling it?
