The Facts Are In: You Shouldn’t Worry About EV Battery Replacements. New research shows that it’s extremely uncommon to have to replace a modern electric car’s battery. Moreover, the technology has only gotten more reliable over time, and it’ll likely keep getting better.

‘Only 0.3% of batteries in EVs sold after 2022 have had to be replaced, outside of major recalls, Recurrent says.’

Cool. Also thoroughly irrelevant to the question of how batteries will age and perform at 10, 15, or 20 years old. More than half of cars in the US are 14+ years old. I expect and hope that batteries will outlast cars, but the fact that failures of brand new ones are rare is no guarantee of that.
