that is older than most EVs last.
The move to EV can happen, but it wont happen with the current model of EV cars being priced higher than standard ICE vehicles and with the current lifespans of EV.
How are you going to tell a family with a budget of $10k for a car to go out and buy an electric car, when the cheapest new EV car is the leaf for $28k and has an expected battery life of 100k-150k miles |
I get your point but in order to understand marketing and demographics, EV's needing to get into the market place are more focused on new purchasers, thus my point of the average amount of time a new vehicle is kept.
As for the lifespan, the warranties alone carry them past the 6 year avg. Regardless, the avg cost for a new ICE vehicle is around 40k so expecting an EV to be much less (on avg) probably won't happen
