Impressive fugures .... will be interesting to see if they hold up for intermittently used cars with periods of sitting .... to be fair a run of the mill diesel van or taxi being run solidly will rack up those, and more, mileages where a 'privatlely' owned one will fail at much lower miles done in less advantageous ways.
Good point - it's clear that proper care and maintenance is key to getting long life out of anything. There are a fair few scenarios where it will be a very long time indeed before EVs are the right solution, but increasingly we are seeing that the common concerns like longevity, range, and cost are rapidly becoming assuaged. Which is great - if we can reduce tailpipe emissions and CO2 production especially in cities, urban, and suburban areas we will go a long way to lessening environmental impact. A few folks trundling round in the countryside in old Landies isn't going to make a heap of difference. At least I hope so, I want to keep running my Td5 until I peg out.
