I’ve been spoiled by ICE to expect a car to have 20 years of life if maintained well. The industry needs to not only standardize and increase the charging network but also build standard battery packs that can be easily replaced well after the warranty expires.

Do you expect every ICE car to last 20 years? Like I have no reason to believe my Camry won't last 20+ years, but what about a Nissan Altima or Chrysler 200? These things weren't even built to last 100k miles.

If you maintain them properly with fresh oil and seals you would be amazed just how far an ICE car can go.

We have Ford Falcon ex-taxis here that can easily push 500,000km out of an original motor and body.
