Contrary to what many believe, the batteries in electric vehicles don't degrade over time (or over miles/kilometers driven either).
... after driving 270,000km (roughly 168,000 miles), the batteries still had 91% of their original capacity. There are more details in this article, but the bottom line is that the batteries lose about 1% of capacity every 30,000km (18,750 miles). This means that the upfront cost of an electric vehicle can be depreciated over a far longer time lowering the vehicle's total cost of ownership significantly - EVs will just keep on working. Having said that, this data is specific to Tesla batteries - we will have to wait to see how other manufacturers fare.
5 Electric vehicles are more reliable
Another factor in favour of electric vehicles is that they are far more reliable. The drivetrain in an ICE vehicle contains 2,000+ moving parts typically, whereas the drivetrain in an EV contains around 20.
