If you are only going a few miles a day an EV with lead acid batteries may last forever. In the Albuquerque Electric Auto Association we had a fella named Rick? that drove an EV VW Rabbit built as part of a fleet by Sandia Labs. Rick drove for more than 10 years with the same batteries that were in the Rabbit when he bought it and they were still working great for his 5 mile a day commute. His electricity costs were 0 due to his landlord letting him plug into the outside apartment lights. I would doubt you could use those batteries to go 40 miles like when they were new but in Rick's case who cares...
