The lifecycle of an EV is a lot less than mostly mechanical cars that are possible to independently repair. I drive a 30 year old van and it’s still possible to get replacement parts within a day or two. I doubt you will get service for a 10 year old EV.
The original Nissan Leaf was launched in 2010 and you can still get whole replacement batteries or even just cell replacements for them.
They can also be upgraded to increase their range using after market batteries.
So we’re already at 15 years and counting.
