Would you drive an electric car if it got 100,000 miles without recharging but you have to replace the battery?
It costs $2000 to replace battery pack every 100k miles.

nope , seems you can afford to buy new battery after 100,000 miles after all you could afford an electric car !!!

THERE is a NEW tyep of battery that the MAIN CAR MAKES will be USING caoled QUANTUM GLASS BATTERIES 1 And SAMSUNG and PANSONIC are on board over this thing! It can last for ONE MILLION MILES< they say and only takes about FIVE MINUTES to RECHARGE! LOOK UP glass battereis the NEXT technology that is on the LIST of things to invest in! LIKE 5G and BOSCH and ZF TRW as well! BOSCH is HUGE and VERY STABLE 1

100K takes on average 10 years with normal driving. You can't get any ICE vehicle to go that distance without refueling. Have gone 600 miles B4 I needed fuel.
. If that distance was possible then the battery would cost a hell of a lot more than $2000 which is close to the cost of gasoline you would have to buy to cover that distance(not including oil changes or mufflers which BATS don't have.)

That will NEVER happen so it is pointless to discuss.
Current battery technology is ancient and inefficient and nothing short of a nuclear powered car will ever have any decent range or longevity.
Today's EVs are throw away after 10 years creating a massive pollution problem and nobody can afford the $10,000 dollar battery replacement costs and never will.
So eventually there will be junk yards 300 feet high in EVs.
And the power it takes to charge EVs is creating more pollution than ANY internal combustion engine produced today.
What you lefties fail to understand is that a battery can't create power.
It is merely a TEMPORARY storage device.
To store enough power into a battery that could run a car for 100,000 miles with needed charged would take all the power produced by a power plant to charge it and the battery would be as large as the Hover Dam.
Meanwhile i can easily produce a diesel powered compact car that gets 80MPG and go 1,000 miles on a tank of fuel right now and NEVER need to stop to charge.
Or i can use a tiny nuclear reactor to power the same car for 30 years without stopping

Yes, of course. Gas costs $4/gal here so it would cost nearly $30,000 for 100k miles for my SUV which gets 15mpg.
