Aptera is actually doing that now, they’re doing some really great stuff

Typically they last the lifetime of the car, so 20+ years.

On an EV you really don’t need to change any brake parts, there’s many people who’ve put on over half a million kilometers on their stock rotors and pads on EVs, they’re supposed to last the entire lifetime of the car without needing to replace them, so 20+ years. The only thing you really need to do is flush the brake fluid once over its lifetime.

Great!!!

Here you go, by ADAC, could hardly get a more reliable source: https://www.notebookcheck.net/First-true-EV-reliability-report-shows-30-less-breakdowns-as-ADAC-pegs-low-voltage-batteries-a-weak-point.718821.0.html

Honestly I’d bet money that thing is going to be very reliable, Jaguar is very good with electrical systems, so having them toss out the engine and gearbox is going to do a lot of good for reliability. Seen models of these with over 400k miles on the clock.

I’d look at some electric cars, they often have very powerful heaters from the built-in heat pumps, love my 10-year-old Renault Zoe for that reason alone.
