You forgot about the cost of a transmission. Your 20 years don’t seem to be helping here.
You’re trying to compare apples to apples in terms of functional components, but that’s disingenuous and completely misses the point. I’m comparing the most expensive components that degrade over time and with use as a cost of ownership - both ICE and EV have expensive components that may need to be replaced after many miles and time, discrediting one and not the other is asinine. Every ICE I’ve owned has gone to the scrap yard, but somehow it’s only a problem for EVs, which BTW can have 99% of their lithium recycled and re-used.
Yes, and replacing the battery essentially gives you a new drivetrain. It would cost near the same price to replace an ICE engine and transmission (using dealer pricing), hence propaganda.
Replacing the battery makes it essentially a new car from drivetrain perspective.
Also, Leafs typically last as long as gas powered cars. Gas cars have the same problem - the entire engine and transmission are expensive to replace and the car is usually scrapped. The problem you outline is not unique to electric cars.
This has to be some sort of Dunning-Kruger effect right here…

Obs works fine for me, what’s the issue,?
