Batteries can be fixed, they’re made of cells and they don’t all die at once. You don’t have to replace the whole battery and there’s already shops who will refurb them. Hoovie on YouTube got hia Tesla S battery fixed for 2500 bucks.
Edit: Also, there’s secondary uses for cells. You can use EV battery cells in all kinds of applications from grid storage to RC cars. Again, there’s companies repurposing them already. You can buy second hand cells from a bunch of places.

I didnt know that, that’s pretty cool! Based on what you and everyone else have been saying, it’s not nearly as bad as I thought :)
