I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.

I'm in Europe, we usually expect ICE cars to last 200,000km at least. My Dad's Peugeot had over 500,000km on it when he sold it, his 1991 Toyota's mileage is unknown since the Speedo cable broke over 10 years ago when it had 250,000km on it.

I got my little Clio cheaply because it needed the head gasket, fixing that took me one day and cost under 100€ to fix, and it's still running smooth 3 years and 50,000km later.

To throw things away just because they need a little repair seems terribly wasteful to me.
