What about the age-old problem of rust? Most cars, even most (all?) EVs, are still made of traditional metal frames and body parts. That's usually what tends to fail in unrepairable ways first, even with ICE cars.
- auxym 4y agoYeah. I'm in southern Quebec, and with the road salt here, its not uncommon for car frames/bodies to become damaged beyond economical repairability from rust while the propulsion is still working fine. In fact body work in general on cars tends to be way more expensive than mechanical work.
