Unfortunately not the sort of vibe you hear in general media; just read an article last week that supposedly EVs last as long as ICEs, not sure what data they looked at…

The F30 also still has the old generation batteries hence the short warranty. They obviously knew how poor the batteries are.

Next car will certainly be petrol again, my old runner (E90) on 125k miles still first engine… lesson learned!
