Wouldn’t you expect a field with rapid technological growth to depreciate faster?

ICEs are a stable technology. There’s little learning curve. Next years EV could be a step change up from last years at the same cost.

How is this a bad thing?

You can't dismiss the fact that EV dies faster and more expensive than ICE.

Without evidence you can. I dismissed your comment without a second thought.

After you done dismissing, try to name a part of a gasoline/diesel car that would definitely require $20K replacement in their lifetime.

Why would I do that? There is no equivalent to that in an EV.

The only part that I think you might be trying to make this case for is the battery but even NMC batteries at 1,000 cycles and 200 mile range will by far exceed the scrap mileage of the average car.

LFP batteries with their higher cycle count will probably be transplanted to new cars.

That's convenient, "just don't look at the battery".

That’s not why I said, but you know that.
