Do you expect every ICE car to last 20 years? Like I have no reason to believe my Camry won’t last 20+ years, but what about a Nissan Altima or Chrysler 200? These things weren’t even built to last 100k miles.
Owner of a 2002 Honda CR-V with 189,000 miles on it. It’s been a reliable horse. I hope to be buying a reliable EV in 2026 when more options hit the market. If I don’t like the options, I may hold onto the CR-V a little while longer.

My 2010 dodge avenger is pushing 14 years and 150k! I’m hoping it lasts another couple years so there’s more/better bev available.
Yes, survivor bias, but other than a new throttle when under warranty it hasn’t needed much. Heck, the factory battery lasted 11 years!

If you maintain them properly with fresh oil and seals you would be amazed just how far an ICE car can go.
We have Ford Falcon ex-taxis here that can easily push 500,000km out of an original motor and body.
