All I really know comes from years of experience with lead acid car batteries, the ones that crank your engine to get you started. Those last four winters and cost $60 to replace. The lithium batteries in EV's cost a lot more. Maybe a quarter of the cost of the car when new? Maybe worse, like one half the cost of the new car? New EV's are like $60,000 so a battery replacement is a big deal. Might be cheaper to just buy a new EV. And that ain't cheap. I have never seen anything on lithium battery life, might be anything, from a year or two up to 10 or 20 years. I have no idea what the real answer might be. It would be nice to know before you buy a battery car.
