Also - My dino-burner has over 250k miles on it -- will you get that from your battery pack? Are you sure?
My EV's battery pack has an eight-year, 100,000 mile warranty. If its capacity drops to below 70% of its advertised capacity in that period, it will be replaced or repaired. It is estimated, that the battery packs will actually retain 70% capacity after 15 years and 200,000 miles. At which point, the car might finally need the brakes serviced, but will still be usable (but with reduced range). Chances are though, that before that, the battery pack would be recycled for use in a home or business and replaced with one that is cheaper and more efficient as batteries continue to improve.
