Not to mention, 5 years in after you've invested in the power improvements to your house to allow charging, if your battery fails I guess fuck you? $20k to keep rolling lol. Think that's part of why the used market is showing huge depreciation for EVs. No one wants to spend 20k for a used vehicle with a ticking time bomb 20k repair guaranteed some time in the future.
Batteries last far longer than that, to the point where every warranty I've seen is 10 years minimum
