Actually, the batteries are proving to be extremely reliable, to the point that they’re likely to outlast the rest of the vehicle. On average, batteries with 100,000 miles are still at 90% of their initial capacity. The situation will only get better as solid state batteries are rolled out
I am really looking forward to those new battery developments. I still think the EV industry needs to focus on serviceability. I strongly believe in right to repair, and vehicles that are designed to require disassembling most of the car to replace a battery is simply anti-consumer design philosophy.
