The battery in a Tesla car will last for between 500,000 and 800,000km. That's between 3-5 times more kms than the average Australian drives a car before upgrading. 30-50 years of motoring. It's just finishing development on a battery that will do twice that. 1.7 million kms. If you haven't been able to watch the Guy Martin documentary yet, in it he tries to get one of these modern EV car batteries to catch fire. Can't do it, even with a blowtorch as a last resort.
