Not as long as it could be and that’s intentional. My '97 piece of crap will outlive most EVs anv even most new ICEs.

Evs will outlast ice cars as there are less moving parts. All we need now is 3rd party car battery replacement as a standard.

The VW Beetle, among many others, would like a word.
EV batteries aren’t as easy to make as most ICE parts.

The first telas batteries were 18650s, the same ones that the diy vapes used. As more EVs are bought the more of a market there will be to support them. People are already refurbishing EV battery packs.
