A LiFePo4 battery gets > 750,000 miles. That's what people are going to be putting into high mileage trucks.

Nobody is going to put a $30K battery into a Ford Lightning. After 10 years that battery is probably $3K. If it isn't and you're unhappy with the ~80% battery capacity it has after 10 years of usage, you sell it on to somebody who is happy with ~80%. You don't spend more than the truck is worth replacing the battery.

Bingo. At this point the biggest cost to owning EV (in NZ) now is taxes and insurance, not fuel and maintenance.
