I know, but thanks for taking the time to put that together.

(ah, you edited in the second paragraph - upkeep is lower yes, obviously gas is more expensive than electricity as a fuel, but afaik wear on breaks actually tends to be higher given the increased weight of EVs. This has little to do with the practical longevity of the vehicle, however.)

    For sure and fair enough.

    I just feel the need to remind people when they mention degradation as a concern, that a degraded battery after a decade doesn't just turn into a paperweight. It just goes slightly less far.

    Losing 1/5 of your range isn't exactly a slight reduction. When the topic is "this logistical aspect is underdiscussed" downplaying its importance is somewhat unhelpful, but I do appreciate the sentiment here.
