How will people handle needing to pay a car’s price to replace the battery.
Cars aren’t usually worth much when they have 250,000 to 300,000 miles on the odometer. That’s how long a properly designed modern battery will last until wear and tear means its not usable anymore.

But you can still buy a 20 year old car with 250k on it for really cheap and drive it for the next 10 years till it completely craps itself.

The last thing I would call a 250k mile car driven for another 10 years is “cheap”. Large expensive things will be breaking left and right.

Yeah, but people with no choice buy them and ride them till they break. And some take a while to break.
