Expected battery life is 15 to 20 years. What is the average lifespan of an ICE car?

Elon Musk says 150,000 miles. Another quote is around 8 years. Far short of 15/20 years.And the cost:- average £10,000 per module, not the complete pack. Nice and cheap eh? Try selling your e.v. When it is around 6-8 years old. Only a very rich person would buy it. What do you do with it then? Perhaps the company will have a ‘scrap it’ policy? It’s a joke. Both my Rovers are, 20 and 19 years old. No rust whatsoever on body so far.

The Germans may not want you in Germany with your ICE powered polluter Which equates to about 20 years of motoring for 90%+ of cars!

I think tesla only warranty their batteries for 8 years?
Not sure but at $22,000 aud a go, would not like to hedge my bets on replacing a bad battery just out of warranty. Saw recently a bloke have this happen with his tesla, faulty battery just out of warranty , had a massive fight with tesla who refused to help so the owner blew up his tesla with dynamite as the car was effectively worthless!! Re hybrid cars- crazy to buy one as the EU has already flagged to outlaw them by 2030, so where is the value in that!! Ev’s have their use in places where your doing short distances daily or high density populations with being able to charge at each end of the journey such as the UK but in a place like Australia, apart from to and from work city driving, absolutely useless over distances here. Also not so good where the power grid is not in good shape either. Hydrogen fuel cell is the only way to here hence the billions of $ currently being invested here in hydrogen production. 700km for s fuel cell, 2 minutes to refill.

............/QUOTE] No company will warranty their product for a period anywhere near the expected life. So an 8-year warranty would be consistent with a 15-20 year expected life.

If batteries are so long lasting in EV powered cars how come the one in Mobile phones struggle to last more than 30 months before they struggle to last a day.

Expected operational life is, on the whole, determined by operational/performance degradation. This would normally be expected to be much longer than the warranty period. In general, I don't think any one is saying that some manufacturers have not had teething troubles with a small percentage of their batteries. But this occurs even with new engines - read all the horror stories about replacement engines needed on new or nearly new LR, Mercedes etc. It is interesting to note that those on here who own an EV are not highlighting any major regrets and most of the negativity is from others who do not own the technology. This is a pattern we saw with catalytic converters, DMF and so on. Finally, and once again, an EV will not be ideal for every potential buyer. But for many situations, it may be the ideal technology. Post above re battery lifetime - my Nikon D100, purchased around 2008, is still running happily on its original two batteries in the grip. I see the double nesting of quotes is playing up. The above quoted text is from genpk rather than myself.
