    EVs generally hold up better over time than ICE vehicles. For one thing they don’t vibrate themselves to pieces. You should get the battery checked out before buying and there will be some degradation but an EV will last basically forever.

      Most vibration comes from the road not the engine, and the worst is road hazzards. Engines are Carefully balanced and isolated.

      Not that it matters, where I like rust from winter road salt is what kills cars. And cars still last a long time if you care for them.

      Tell that to my 5 year old Ioniq that already had a catastrophic motor/transmission unit failure that would have totaled the car if it hadn’t been covered by warranty.
