I've heard so many well respected EV experts say the batteries will outlast the
vehicles. Is that a function of just wanting a new car or actually wearing out
the body? I drive diesel Mercedes and I can tell you that these 30 year old
cars are as good or better than what is being made today. I think with the
simplicity of EV's (however the icing on the cake electric everything
complexity
of most new cars might wipe this out)should make bearing replacement including
bushings the majority of what wears out. The standard should be 30 years
service with moderate repairs. In my experience converting to electric will
lengthen the life of an auto. That should go for factory electrics too. My
Aspire has 20 years on the body. I don't see it going downhill anytime soon.
