Re: pure unicorn farts
Real data from real owners of EVs indicate that battery life is FAR better than many claim.
Cars doing 400,000km on the original battery are real. A little searching will reveal so they can be assessed.
I only have 50,000km on mine and the indicated range is still well over 500km. (Tesla S with 100kWh battery). I charge at home from solar so the cost is minimal to zero given the amount I get for exports. As with any vehicle energy usage varies with use. Hot Wheels Harry driving may be fun but it costs as does lots of AC or heating. Passing every Volvo on the road is satisfying but has a minor cost too.
