People worry too much about EV battery longevity. Pack replacements are expensive, of course, but so are engine replacements. And based on recent data, it seems much easier to make a battery that outlasts a car's average lifespan than an engine that can survive 250,000 miles without major repairs. Batteries made after 2015 rarely fail outright. When a battery does fail, however, that doesn't have to be the end of the road for an EV.

The 2021 Model 3 Standard Plus has racked up 410,000 kilometers on its original battery and motor while retaining around 90% battery health.
