Gregory's Server@rodhilton most batteries degrade in several years, and I know it from using smart phones, but no company would wanna replace a phone that they made one with the battery. Imagine the car with the battery that costs a sizeable portion of a car, and people like Muks never plan to compensate the costs

I've owned EVs that aren't Teslas and the batteries just don't degrade like that. They're better managed and only operated within a limited range of their total capacity. Charged to 90% discharged to 10%, temperature controlled, etc. |
@rodhilton @Crookhorne Another piece of fossil fuel industry PR. The battery pack in my first Prius lasted 15 years, and old batteries have resale value for the valuable metals inside so they get recycled. Replacing it could have been done for $2000 or so plus labor, but that was more than the car was worth at that point so the whole thing went for recycling.
