I'm well aware that electric motors provide more power. My question is do they provide more durability and longevity. The limited results that I've seen say no, for now. Especially in non-ideal situations like off-roading. It's not to say that it will continue down that path, but it seems like manufacturers are building these vehicle to fit a certain niche, and then making minor changes to appeal to drivers outside of that niche. ICE vehicles are made to fit far more varied uses. And from what I've seen while researching the topic, which is admittedly somewhat limited, electrics don't have longevity on their side. For example, I haven't seen one of the original Tesla sports cars on the road in at least 7 or 8 years, maybe longer. If I pay as much as the current EVs are priced, I expect a vehicle that will have a useful life of 20 or 25 years. I've heard too many stories about people who've had them, that basically had to dispose of theirs after 5 or 6 years. Right now I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler and a 2008 Honda Accord, both with well over 200,000 miles, and they're still running like a champ. If something breaks, I fix it and it keeps going. Advances in technology haven't made either of them obsolete. You can't really say that about electrics right now. I know the technology will keep moving forward and probably change that, but for now, I'm dubious of all of these vehicles. For me, efficiency and performance aren't the only concerns when it comes to purchasing a car. But I still think that the Scouts and Rivions are really cool and totally get the appeal.
