I agree. Most people will not save money on EVs with their usage. But on the flip side most people don't own a car that long even with an ice drivetrain. It's very dependent on what car you buy, electric vs gas rate, and how often you drive.

That's because people choose to not own cars that long, not because they can't. Batteries simply cannot today last as long as ICE.
