You can want what you want. Doesn’t mean it’s a smart or only choice. You are going to spend more money in most cases and you won’t make up the money for at least 6 or 7 years (at least in the states) unless you drive a ton.
Will you tho? With the cost of a new battery and how they’re wear items?
Its not like ICE cars with good engines that can go 300k km in the original engine if you take good care of it. Batteries just degrade no matter what and these days they’re charging almost the price of a new ICE car to replace them
I agree. Most people will not save money on EVs with their usage. But on the flip side most people don’t own a car that long even with an ice drivetrain. It’s very dependent on what car you buy, electric vs gas rate, and how often you drive.

That’s because people choose to not own cars that long, not because they can’t. Batteries simply cannot today last as long as ICE.
