When I started reading this, I thought for sure it was a ICE-apologist hit piece on EVs, and without a doubt, the author takes a dim view of EVs. However, he does bring up some interesting and valid points. I think by necessity there will need to be the option to swap out or upgrade batteries in the future, otherwise, you're going to see EV resale values continue to plummet, like they have on the Leaf and 500e. I think this will be less of a problem in the future, as 200-300 miles becomes the standard, and battery longevity improves, but as batteries get better, longer-range, and faster-charging, there's no doubt it will impact resale on older EVs.
Will electric cars last longer than gas and diesel cars?
