This is basically like saying combustion vehicles could last nearly forever if you replaced the engine every now and then
A rebuild every x00,000 miles on a Toyota sounds nicer than paying the price of a new pilot every 100,000 miles tbh. Computers don't last though and emissions have made it a huge pain to fix on older cars. Nothing against emissions it's a necessary evil.
New pilot? I dunno what any of this means
I mean...they can, you just refresh the motor. Tons of ICE vehicles out there with 400-500k miles on them. Hell most semi trucks have millions of miles on them.
I am thinking of doing that when my civic should be legally declared dead. With the insanity that is new car prices and insurance for new cars plus the vanished used car market it just isn't worth it. I want an EV but things have to go back to normal before that happens
It's easy to do, and engines don't cost much on ebay.
Fortunately Honda makes vehicles that are very durable, so it's not like everything dies at the same age of the engine.
