Simple: the government mandates that "in the name of public safety" every EV battery pack needs to be replaced after 10 years. That effectively makes the EV worthless and builds in a guaranteed demand for new ones.
Essentially the same scam they pull with encumbering gasoline engines with emissions/evap inspections and DEF and DPF requirements for diesels.
It'd be terrible if something happened to 7-11 corporate execs. Just terrible.
