Do not charge your EV every day for longevity.

I briefly looked at the article but this caught my attention: "The federal government mandates EV battery warranties last for at least 8 years or 100,000 miles".
Wait/What!!!???!!!
Since when and why is the federal government getting involved in vehicle warranties? A federal mandate.

Per person?
Ask that question again when billions of people have to drive battery vehicles

Not per person, overall. Since mining of the lithium is a negative topic of criticism where does the most lithium end up in, the billions of phones and tools or the 5% that have EVs.

For me it averages out between my Toyota and Range Rover with everything else in the middle.
