@PropanePete As for your 2006 VW, you are but just one data point. I don't see many 10 year old VW on road or command any high resale value at least here in Canada. Maybe it's different in Europe where repair maintenaince cost is lower. But in Canada / maybe US as well, all European cars have very high repair costs compared to domestic / Japanese ICE cars. If you claim Japanese ICE cars have longevity it might make more sense, but European cars are complete garbage past warranty period. You can see their resale value fall off cliff for European luxury brands such as Audi, BMW, Merc... all high maintenance junk after they are 6 -7 years ood. - meaning you can keep them running, but at a cost higher than getting a new one.
ICE cars can last longer if you are meticulous on maintenance, and drive low mileage. for EVs, Chinese battery makers such as BYD blade, and CATL produces batteries last 2 - 3 times longer in excess of 15+ years without significant degradation, compared to Panasonic cells that only last about 10 years / 1500 charging cycles. CATL's LFP batteries last 3000 charging cycles with 85% capacity remaining. That is the current fact. As for China's cultural revolution in the distant history affects its current society and in turn have negative effect on their products is pure conjecture on your part, not a proven fact.
