    There is a lot of FUD paid for by the oil industry on this subject.

    BUT in EV circles, you see stories like:

    Generally the battery will out last the rest of the car. The warranty on the battery is normally 8y/100000 and it will absolutely last longer than that.

    Batteries that out live their car are already a thing and getting a second life as static power storage. I know if some in homes, but I also know of plans to have them in big banks for grid level backup.
