"Oh yeah, EVs have very little moving parts so they will last 2x or 3x as long as normal cars. Perhaps three or four decades or 500k miles." Do the batteries last that long? (They're about half the price of the car currently.) Last I knew, lithium-ion batteries lose capacity over clock-time. Some types lose capacity less soon than laptop/phone batteries[1], but I didn't quickly find out how much slower, nor what type of battery Tesla is using. (Do you have info?) Maybe we can't even know: lithium-ion batteries were only invented 40 years ago[2], and modern Li-ion chemistry and size much more recently.
