While I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, fear of battery replacement on EVs is overblown.
Tesla warranties their batteries to 80% health for 8? 10? Years or 120,000 miles, but there is a solid history of them lasting 15+ years or 250,000 miles, which is more than the typical life of a car (and limited by the cars only existing that long). More importantly EV batteries don’t usually outright fail, the EVs just gradually lose range.
Most EVs, except OG Nissan Leafs with passive cooling), will never need to have their battery replaced
