So at the very least, the article is a nice heads-up to me and others alike that are somewhat on the fence about EVs, that some of our concerns may very well be assuaged.
Until very recently, EV's weren't even a consideration for me, because of their limitations on range, but also because of difficulty of charging them if you lived in a condo or an apartment (heck, my current car is a Mazda, a company which _just_ started offering EVs in some markets). Because of that, I am not well versed in the specific details of the current generation of EVs. With that said, anecdotally, I have heard of old Prius hybrids getting 100k miles out of their batteries, but that was a decade ago. I don't know what modern battery chem is capable of.
I want them to be one of the leaders of next generation vehicles, what ever the technology, only because it means they will continue to support their previous generation vehicles, for which they have an honourable history.
I want my BJ74 landcruiser to run on diesel until it’s no longer available, and then I want it to run as a hybrid/electric vehicle until like the ship of Theseus we are debating whether or not it’s still a BJ74.
