    How will people handle needing to pay a car’s price to replace the battery.

    Cars aren’t usually worth much when they have 250,000 to 300,000 miles on the odometer. That’s how long a properly designed modern battery will last until wear and tear means its not usable anymore.

      But you can still buy a 20 year old car with 250k on it for really cheap and drive it for the next 10 years till it completely craps itself.

        The last thing I would call a 250k mile car driven for another 10 years is “cheap”. Large expensive things will be breaking left and right.
