Because the overwhelming majority won’t wear out at 100k miles. ICE cars have engine failures early as well, so why are we picking on EVs? I just had to put my car in the dumpster at 112k because the head gasket failed and replacing it would cost 6 fucking thousand dollars!
Meanwhile my wife’s Prius has 300k on it and the battery is still at 70% capacity.

You have any links you can point me to that backs that up?
A JD Powers article states the following…
On average, you should replace your Toyota’s battery every 8-10 years or 100,000-150,000 miles.
Last I heard the batteries on any ev basically gets replaced at ~100k because they don’t hold a charge well, assuming the same weather conditions throughout the lifetime of the batteries. I even heard that specifically about Prius’.
