I still wonder what younger versions of me are going to do though. Those that can only afford old cars. In my case, when my X Trail becomes uneconomical to keep, I will probably have to give up driving altogether. Hopefully that is a good way off yet though. Fortunately these days a 10 year old car generally has loads of life left in it if it has been looked after. The Volvo I sold 2 years ago is still on the road, and that is now 20 years old.
However, if I were 20 years younger and still working, what would I do? It's all very well for those with plenty of money, or who can afford to buy new or nearly new, but what about those who only buy cars 10+ years old because that's all they can afford. There are probably millions of us. Will a 10 year old BEV still be viable, and I am thinking particularly about the batteries, considering that currently a set of batteries would cost quite a bit more than I would pay for a car. My car will today do as many miles on a tankful as it did on the day it was built. Will a 12 year old BEV still do as many miles on a charge without new batteries? Something tells me - no way!
