My previous car was a 1969 Wolseley 18/85 Automatic, I sold it to an enthusiast who has restored it to concours condition, re-built the engine and transmission and exhibits it at car shows. He expects it to see its second half-century. It's seen out 2019, it'll see 2069 if there's still fuel to run it on.
I didn't buy the Leaf new, it's a 2013 model. It has few moving parts, and if you don't let it rust, and replace cells when they die, it should last forever. I need my kids (they're 12 and twins) to teach me how to use Leaf Spy to do the diagnostics on the cells.
They'll inherit it.
I don't see any reason why EVs shouldn't last a century, rather than a decade. Tyres and brakes wear out, cells need replacing, but the basic structure is sound. What do you think?
