I have never had an ice vehicle make 20 years and have not known anyone else who has but I have heard stories of folks that have. Its pretty rare. I think its telling that the battery seems to be the only thing seeming to be blocking longevity with a 14 year old ev.
Every single one of our ICE cars (3 toyotas 3 Hondas) have lasted 20+ years. I sold 3 to neighbours. They are still going.
I’ve been warning everybody on reddit that ev batteries will fail long before their projected lifespans, and the cost of replacement makes ice cars a cheaper alternative. The mods keep banning me. But the maths and science is clear.
both legendary brands for longevity. One reason I don’t personally know anyone with cars this long is because I don’t know many folks with toyotas or hondas. The article does not talk about failure before expected lifespan but rather that the replacements are not being made. Which is actually more disturbing.
