Volvo XC40 aka Geely full electric car has battery life predicted of only 3 to 5 years
Electric vehicles are being made and marketed as the ultimate 'throwaway' item.
They are claimed to have a theoretical lifetime of the battery module between 3 and 10 years depending on brand, there is no way to tell what the 'servicability life' is when buying a used electric car, and the costs for a replacement battery module are horrendous, plus (at least here in Australia) there is zero recycling for them.
Volvo XC40 full electric is a Chinese made Geely product, and it's battery lifetime is predicted to only be 3 to 5 years before it has to be replaced to maintain full charge capacity and range as per the published specs.
