Belly, would you say it is safe to assume a buyer can get at least five years and 100,000 miles on a battery, whether a hybrid or full electric ?
sounds like, as with any other car, YMMV. battery should last at least that long tho.

No idea about hybrids, but full electric, 100%.
There's always the possibility of an outlier, but the same is true of an ICE.
As far as battery degradation goes, some is unavoidable, but the owner can do their part to minimize with good charging habits. Don't charge to 100% unless you're going to drive shortly after. Don't leave your vehicle sitting for long periods with less than 20% charge.
The great thing about an iron-phosphate (LFP)battery pack is charging habits really don't matter. Charge to 100%, discharge to 0%, doesn't affect degradation.
And FYI...Fuel efficiency of ICEs decrease with age too.

Most interesting thing about that chart is that the VW group was, not long ago, pretty much where Toyota Motor Corp is on that chart, relative to Tesla. Point being that it's great how quickly companies are able to get ramped up w/electrification once they get serious about it. Gonna be tons of EVs on the road soon, and lots of strong competition which will drive prices down.
Great for consumers. Potentially good for the environment, too.
Nuclear. It ain't great but it's inevitable.No surprise here:
Electricity Shortage Warnings Grow Across U.S.
Power-grid operators caution that electricity supplies aren’t keeping up with demand amid transition to cleaner forms of energy
Electricity Shortage Warnings Grow Across U.S.
Electric-grid operators are warning that power-generating capacity is struggling to keep up with demand, a gap that could lead to rolling blackouts during heat waves or other peak periods as soon as this year.www.wsj.com
Not forever, but for a while until renewables grow and mature enough to power everything. And that'll be a while.
Every EV sold in the USA (I believe), has a warranty for 100,000 miles. So if a battery is replaced that soon, the manufacturer will pay for it.

It is also the infrastructure.. how electricity is distributed.. so old.. so inneficient.. microreactors may be the answer.. generate very close to where the juice is used.. but we have heard this stuff before... NIMBY rules...
Yeah, I mean, to be honest, I wouldn't want to have a nuclear reactor right next door to me. But regardless, I just don't see any path forward that doesn't include more nuclear than we have now without burning coal or doing something equally problematic carbon-wise given the rapidly growing need for electrical generation from EV adoption and population increases and so forth.
The microreactors look pretty interesting, at a high level at least. Thanks for that link. As you say, NIMBY will still be the rule, but maybe the ability to rapidly move the reactor to an unpopulated area (or, you know, downwind) might be a selling point.

Meet the Vayanne, the New Limited-Edition, All-Electric Hypercar With a Bonkers 2,200 HP
Limited to 99 examples, the $2 million ride is due to roll out in 2025.
That one debuted in NY. Anyone go to the show last month?
Think most of the stuff talked about here was there, including the VW ID Buzz, Silverado EV, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 - looks like they had an EV test track.
Not an EV but Bronco Raptor, also.

There have been a ton people that have waited a longgg time for their Broncos to arrive. Makes my seven month and still waiting Maverick order seem like nothing.
No...no...I would be happy to have it in my area...but... not enough space, high cost of land, labor costs are higher, environmental concerns... it just wouldn't make financial sense...
I was there. Did the test track for F150 Lighting. Also checked out the Bronco Raptor. Honestly, my favorite was the corvette.
