But for more than that on your odo, an ICE car will cost cheaper if not the same as an EV, given how much it cost to replace the battery now.
20k to replace a tesla battery vs 3-5k to do a engine replacement on a camry.
Every car's engine has a chance to blow up, a camry' engine is way less likely to fail than a tesla's battery, it has stood years and million miles of test. I don't know what point you are trying to make

You guys are beating a dead horse.
Tesla batteries are designed to last 300,000-500,000 miles, longer than anyone keeps their cars these days I'm sure EV batteries will become cheaper to replace as time goes on. Engines can go 300-500,000 miles if not longer with proper maintenance.
I guess it's time to start an Electric Hybrid Car Thread for Adults?
