Hum.... you are right, I was too hasty in my comment. It was 5 years warranty for drivetrain on my Leaf, so when I heard 30kWh or more has upgraded to 8 years, I thought it applies to both battery and drivetrain. I stand corrected. Thank you.
So: ALL EV
battery on new cars on sale now has 8 years or more warranty,
drivetrain differs greatly across manufacturers.
But we can do a comparison via a good old list:
Looks like some manufacturers are willing to offer more EV drivetrain warranty than ICE counterparts, never less (happy to be proven wrong). With 8 years for the battery as industry standard.
Do tell me, what is the percentage of all passenger cars in Britain that has been officially classed as meeting the latest September 2018 emission regulation?
ICE cars generally last 10 years or more. Seeing the Euro 5 cars (which had been on sale until 2015?) off the road will take many more years. Whereas EV has zero local emission, the oldest EV will receive the same percentage of emission reduction as the newest EV because the reduction is applied at the grid production level.
In terms of cost. Show me a non-Toyota/Honda hybrid that is financially viable as a replacement for a £1000 car. Something in £3000 range. I can't find any petrol hybrid even at £9000, by then, you can get a Nissan Leaf EV. Looks like there's a lack of choice, not only for EV, but also for old hybrids..........

Two minor mistakes that doesn't change their respective points. Whereas all you've done is post FUD from mass media on Tesla, hoping the disruptor would go away.
