Next is the battery disposal  

MGZS EV's 44.5kWh Lithium Ion Battery has an 8 year warranty in Thailand against suffering a capacity drop below 70% of the original capacity. 
So after 8 years the car will be able to still drive 233.8km under the NEDC driving mode. 

 

Alternatively it could be used as backup storage for a solar system as it still has the equivalent capacity of 2.3 Tesla Power-walls.

I remember a time I was looking at the fuel needle going into the red, not a garage anywhere to be seen, we were on hols in The Everglades, Florida, we were bum popping at being stranded, but we eventually found fuel, what a relief.

Now, who wants to go through all that sh_t on a regular basis in an EV........????

And you filled the fuel tank in 1 minute , as opposed to 6 Hours just to "top-up" the battery. Unless you risk a battery life limiting "fast charge". From a non-green electric source socket.

Battery tech is improving constantly. Lexus just released their latest EV and it includes a 10 year 1 million km warranty on the battery. Tesla is about to release their battery with a million mile warranty. Name one single ICE based car that can offer something similar?
 

As for charging speeds, in reality it’s something 99% will ever worry about. The current gen tech like Tesla (which all the rest will copy) has charging speeds of 24km per minute. It will only improve as time goes on.
 

And remember for the vast majority of us, we will mostly only go within a short radius of our home, so can easily charge at home overnight. Only when we go on those long road trips (few times a year) will we ever need to fast charge. And in those instances you stop for a pee break or lunch and you’re fine.
