  1. Modern cars - both EV and ICE longevity are limited by electronic or computer components aging out rather than traction batteries or mechanical parts. Most EV battery packs fail not because cells fail, but BMS module failure first. Further complicating the issue is difficulty in repairing such issues, often battery packs are integrated tightly in car's chasis. Even a small resistor or capacity fail would require expensive labour cost to diagnoze and repair one single electronic component.

  2.  @SteveLomas-k6k  timing belt is easier and cheaper to repair than BMS or other electronic modules in a typical EV.. We are talking hundreds dollars vs tens of thousands many battery packs are sealed. If just one component breaks in it, the whole thing needs to be replaced.

  3.  @SteveLomas-k6k  old school cars. Even ice cars nowadays have so much computers in it that makes it planned obsolescence.
