The battery replacement thing is a pretty tired talking point now. The batteries are pretty damn good. An engine or transmission failure wouldn't be uncommon at 10 years either. Licensing and fees are highly state dependent and pretty ridiculous.

all speculative.....biased opinion.
it's a massive gamble to bet on an EV battery pack....my biased opinion.

"My buddy has a lyriq. Great car, the autonomous driving is amazing. We're taking a trip up to Baltimore tomorrow. He'll start with a full tank and we'll leave with a full tank. My ICE would require a fill up before I left and I'd have an empty tank when I got home. So 2 fill ups vs none for the EV. There are few times I'm traveling more than 5 or 600 miles in a stretch that would require more than one charge en route."

Richmond-Baltimore-Richmond is 304 miles.
That's nothing. Posted the specs on that lyriq...unimpressed.
My ice car would make that with 100+ miles left over....it's an 11 gallon tank...40 mpg hwy.
My '08 silverado would make that with over 200+ miles left....actually closer to 300.
And it's 34 gallon tank weighs about 230lbs full....how much does your "gas" tank weigh.
I've never read any story or video of anyone ever making the range promised on an EV. Don't load it up with people, or baggage and run that a/c....or put a car top carrier on it.
And bring that lawn chair so you can sit and wait for it to get a re-charge.

you wanna accuse me of not paying attention anymore !...🫵🏻
