Reply to comment by Warpedme in ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg

Again, you're still wrong. Yes, they get repurposed after vehicle life ends, but that has nothing to do with this discussion. Batteries are not dying before vehicles rust out and head to the dump. You can downvote all you want, but it doesn't make you right

It's like you didn't even read what I said because it addresses exactly everything in this reply

Yep, I did. And perhaps you missed the first post of this thread. If a vehicle is totaled, then the battery lasted the lifetime of the vehicle. I understand all the simplistic points you made, but the batteries do no go through there usable life cycle in the lifetime of the vehicle. Not a single person I know has had to replace a battery in their vehicle, no have we. You addressed nothing, and are simply going off on a tangent to start an argument.
