One of the bigger issues to come up with EVs, in my opinion, is when the battery will need to be replaced.
Just imagine, you have an 8 year old 2W, would you be willing to spend ₹30k-50k on new battery?
Instead, I would buy a new EV for ₹100k than spending ₹30-40k on an old scooter.
Which practically means the life of an EV gets reduced drastically to only 8 years compared to 15-20 years for ICE vehicles. That proposition is a big dampener and value-destructive from customer point of view.
I still feel people buying EVs don’t understand the above maths.
Only solution to the above issue would be drastic fall in prices of batteries, say, within 5 years.
